Chapter 53:

"Hello I am looking for Spot," April said looking at all the newsies. Books got up from Spots lap and walked over to April.

"Don't you think you a little old." Spot came up behind Books and pushed her out of the way.

"I am gonna guess you Spot. Your sister is back at Conlons. I believe you know the way." April smiled and Spot ran out the door,

****Conlons****

"Where the fuck is she? Tell me where she is damn it. Why the fuck is she here? Damn it!" Spot tried to push past James but James pushed him into Mr. Conlons office and locked the door.

"Look I know your Patrick and she Cleary. Don't worry Father isn't due back for a week. She had an attack. Luckily I found her. You should be thanking me. Now you cant go in there and just take her back." James unlocked the door and opened it. "But you can see her. She's in her old room."

"She's gonna want to leave and I will take her with me! You don't bring her back here. You drop her off at a hospital."

"Look Patrick she's staying here. We wills end her to a school. She wont be near him. This is better for her. She doesn't need to be living out on the streets."

"She's not living out on the streets. She in a building in a room in bed next to her husband and child! I am taking care of her. She is taking care of herself. She sure as hell don't need you fuckin help. Where were you when Father's friends raped her? in the fuckin kitchen eating you dinner! Where were you when Father beat her? In your room studying! it's a little to late!" Spot stormed out of the room and up the stairs into Fire's room.

"Get me out of here Spot. I would myself but I am in so much pain. I hate it here. All the memories." Fire sat up slowly. "God Spot I feel like a little kid again. Like he's gonna come through those doors any second, rip me out of bed, and beat the living shit out of me."

"He ever gonna touch you again if I can do anything about it. Trust me Fire. Come on." Spot helped Fire out of bed. "Just put all your strength on me."

"You cant take her! She'll die!" James yelled.

"She will die if she stays here. At least out of this house she dies with people who care about her. And not by him!" Spot pushed James out of the way. "Move!"

"Do you know what this does to mom. She cried every night in either your or her room. She hasn't been the same since you two left. don't do this to mom. I cant stand her crying anymore. She's gonna kill herself. I am surprised she isn't dead yet. Just come look at her." James grabbed Spots arm. "She in the garden." Spot and Fire looked at each other and nodded. James led them through the house. "Shamus mom has some visitors." Shamus smiled and got up from where he was sitting. Mrs. Conlon turned her head.

"Patrick…. Cleary. My babies!" Mrs. Conlon got up and hugged both of them. "You've come back!"

"No mom. No we haven't. I came to get Cleary. We just wanted to let you know we are okay. This isn't our home anymore. This isn't our family anymore. You gotta let us go. We have move don now you have to. We will never feel at home here. To much bad has gone on." Mrs. Conlon looked at Spot and tears filled her eyes.

"Don't cry Mommy. We still love you, but I cant return here." Fire hugged Mrs. Conlon.

"I always cared Cleary. I did. I just didn't know what to do. He was so much bigger then me. He scared me. I use to pray every night that he would beat me instead. I couldn't find the strength to stand up to him and my parents told me not to. You hung out with Newsies and to them you weren't important. I didn't know what to do. Baby will you ever forgive me." Mrs. Conlon looked Fire in the eyes.

"I never blamed you. I thanked God it was me not any of you." Fire looked at all her brothers standing there. "Mom you have a grandson." Mrs. Conlon smiled. "He looks like Patrick. Amazing. I will never forget you mom. But like Patrick said. This isn't us and it never was. We're Fire Ice and Spot Conlon not Cleary and Patrick Conlon." Cleary reached into her pocket. "Here. There's a picture of your grandson and daughter. Bye mom." Fire hugged her and then Spot did.

"Love you mom," Spot whispered.

"I love you both. Good bye." Mrs. Conlon watched them go. "Keep safe Spot and Fire," She whispered.
