"Spot, what are we going to do about Harlem?" Lightning asked Spot. "Well, I haven't quite thought of it but I guess it's time to." Spot said jumping down from his little thrown as he started to walk he took out his cane and walked with it slamming it down every step he took. "Well, you must have some plan baby..." Lightning said holding his hand.
"Well, I might..." Spot said thinking hard. "You think of all of the plans baby." She said and she kissed him. "Oh how beautiful." Jack Kelly said walking in. "What ya want Jackie boy? I'm busy with me goil heah!" Spot said with a smirk. "Well we need to go over the battle with Harlem..." Jack said pulling him away from lighting.
"Fine, fine, fine, get outta heah baby doll, wes got woik ta do." Spot said. Lightning went over and put her arms around him and kissed him. Then she went over to the water. "Well, lover boy any plans?" Jack asked. "Well, I might have one but I dunno." Spot told him. "Well we got little time so let's think..."

It was dark now and Hallie sighed as she watched in the way distance as this boy and this girl kissed as another boy came over and broke them apart. Alex would never find her since they relocated 4th street orphanage In Harlem over to Brooklyn. So Alex wouldn't know. He had time though. They relocated it only 4 years ago and he must have passed by here. She wished he would make some kind of effort to find her.
"Alex is never going to come back. I might as well face it. I'm stuck here until I'm 19." Hallie muttered and she threw the note on the floor and kicked it under her bed. She felt hot tears well up and run down her face. "I give up..." She sighed and walked out to the kitchen. "HALLIE!!!!" Mistress Collingwell yelled.
"Yeah, what do you want?" Hallie asked from the doorway. "You didn't do the kitchen." She said angrily. "Of course I did, someone trashed it up though." Hallie said feeling defeated. "I'm tired of your lies!" Mistress Collingwell yelled pushing her to the ground. "I've had enough, it's time that I used other measures on you." She said. Hallie stayed on the ground what was the use of getting up?
She came back with a belt. "Bend over that table there." She said pointing to the table. Hallie just stayed where she was. "GET UP NOW!" She yelled grabbing Hallie by the hair and dragging her over to the table where she pushed her over. As soon as she started hitting her Hallie was crying out in pain. While this happened Josh heard some crying from downstairs. So he went downstairs prepared to find one of the younger girls getting beat or something.
Right as he looked in his heart skipped a beat. He found Hallie bent over a table while Mistress Collingwell was swinging a belt. "Oh my god..." Josh muttered. Soon it was all over. "Get out of my sight you wretched girl!" Mistress Collingwell said and picked her up by the collar and pushed her toward the door. Hallie ran all the way up the stairs and into the girls room. "Hallie are you ok?" They were all asking.
"No, I'm running away." Hallie said digging the note out from under the bed. "Why?" A little girl named Ashley asked. "I have to I'm sick of that bitch." Hallie cried walking over to the door. "Bye..." She said and walked out the door. She tried to remain quiet down the stairs. She went passed the kitchen and then Mistress Collingwell was sitting in the den reading a book called The Meaning Of Children.
So Hallie quickly and softly slipped past the den and out the door. She was free. Hallie ran very fast and out to the street. She ran about 3 blocks without stopping she knew that she had to find Alex and she would.
"Well, I might..." Spot said thinking hard. "You think of all of the plans baby." She said and she kissed him. "Oh how beautiful." Jack Kelly said walking in. "What ya want Jackie boy? I'm busy with me goil heah!" Spot said with a smirk. "Well we need to go over the battle with Harlem..." Jack said pulling him away from lighting.
