When Angel awoke, she was in Spot's arms. How at home she felt there.

"Gmornin', Angel."

"Good morning, Spot."

"Listen, I hafta go down to the docks taday, you wanna come wit me?"

"Alright, I'll go."

"Then da Brooklyn Boys will get to meet me new goil!"

Angel Blushed

"Hurry up and get ready!"

"Ok"

Down at the docks, Angel met practically every Brooklyn Newsie there. Including the second leader of the Brooklyn Newsies, Dice.

"Hey ya Dice, come ovah heah!" Spot yelled.

"What is it, Spot?"

"I want youse to meet me new goil, Angel."

"Pleased ta meet cha, miss!"

"It's nice to meet you too, Dice!"

Spot and Angel then went and sat up on his perch and looked across the East River.

"Hey Angel, remembah when we went swimmin'?"

"Yes, very well." "Why do you ask?"

"It just popped in me head, I guess."

He leaned in to kiss her, but Bumper interrupted them.

"Spot, Jack's heah."

"Thanks, Bumbah."

Jack appeared on the dock with David and Boots.

"Well if it ain't Jack be Nimble, Jack be Quick!"

"Hi ya Spot.... An' Angel!"

"Jack, I hope Race didn't go ballistic since I didn't come back to lodging house last night!"

"No, he knew you was wit Spot da whole time!"

"Oh good!"

"Spot, me, David, an' Boots are heah as ambastards."

"Ambastards of what?"

"We're goin' on strike, Spot."

"Yeah, Pulitzer raised the pape's price.... 10 cents a hundred!" Boots added.

"Shit, dat means Hearst will go up too!" "SHIT!"

"Why would Hearst?" "Pulitzer is the only one who raised the price!" David said.

"David, when Pulitzer decides ta do something, Hearst usually joins in!"

"Spot, you don't think Harlem or Queens or any other territory will be affected by this jack up, will they?"

"Most likely Angel.... Those guys are all friends of Pulitzer's."

"I spose' we're just gonna have ta woik togethah' on dis strike and get da paper's old price back." Spot exclaimed.

"You're right Spot.... We'se got no other choice!"

When they left, Spot turned to Angel.

"Angel, will ya help me wit dis strike business?"

"Of course I will, Spot!" "Besides, my family in the past was very political!" "Spot, I'll be right there by your side till' I die." "Even after that."

He leaned in and kissed her. After they broke he said, "I know you'll be."
