Hey!  Sorry this update was so long in coming!  I didn't mean for it to happen that way!  It just did!  Oh well, here's the latest chapter!  Enjoooy!

Alexeil – Hehe, I'm glad you like my version of Spot.  I really like it myself!  I remember watching the movie when I was younger and just thinking what a big dork Spot would be when it came to love and stuff like that.  Then I read fanfics of him and I was like "Er.. I guess my view is distorted.." but I'm glad other people like it too! ^_^ That was really long… well, anyways.. thanks for the review!

Kaylee – I will get you into the fic!  It's my mission.  It won't be long.. but you and Race will be in here! Thanks for always reviewing!

Broadway – Ah, yes, Denton is a wonderful man.  He just made the whole movie, don't ya think?  Hehe!  Oh and I'm making Jack mean to Spot for two reasons; 1. He doesn't want to see his friend's reputation tarnished by Uhm and 2. I needed him to act that way for the plot, hehe!  Glad you're liking my story, enjoy this update and thanks for reviewing!

Geometrygal – Yaay!  I'm glad you don't see as too Mary Suish although your thoughts may change with this chapter.. eerr.. But there are people who will never end up liking her!  I won't name them but I'm sure people can tell already.. anywhoville!  Thanks for your reviews!  And for reminding me that I didn't finish my math homework… hehe!

Blink could tell that Selece had recognized the man. And for whatever reason, didn't want to be caught by him. So, being the friend he was, Blink jumped in front as Raymon tried to dash from the room after the girl. Raymon growled and with one simple sweep of his hand sent Blink tumbling to the ground. Then he and Denton chased after the girl. Blink moaned, actually wishing Spot were here for once.

Selece was crying. She ran through the halls of the Tribune, forgetting which way was right and which way was left. All she knew was she had to get out of there.  She had to get out of there as fast as she could. The door, she had found it! With a cry of joy, she flung the door open and raced out. But she had been wrong. It was the wrong door. She was just in another empty office. Selece nearly collapsed right then and there, crying her eyes out. Drawing herself back together, though, she simply sighed then flung her papers to the ground as they were only weighing her down. Selece then raced out of the office.

BAM!

"Oof," Selece fell onto her back as she ran smack into the large man she had been running from. Her eyes grew even wider with fear as she backed up, "No.. what.. what are you doing here?"

"Coming to pick up my poor misguided daughter. You poor thing," Raymon glanced out to Denton who was staring at the two curiously. "Don't worry, we'll be right back," he then slammed the door shut so hard the blinds on the window shook.

A twisted little smile slithered across Raymon's face as he bent down. He grabbed hold of the girls collar, pulling her face to his. He snickered, straightening up while still holding her, "What? You think you were just going to run off like that? End of story?"

"Denton will know you're lying. I.. I'll scream!" Selece stammered, tears brimming in her eyes.

"Oh? You will?" with his free hand, Raymon reached into his pocket. Another snicker escaped him as he flipped the blade open on his pocketknife. He lightly placed the tip of the blade in the middle of her stomach then lightly dragged it up to her neck, not drawing any blood. "Nah, I don't think you will."

"Y... you're disgusting," Selece gasped out. She could feel her mother again, murmuring to her. The girl's eyes narrowed as she jutted up her chin. "Go ahead, Raymon. Do it.. but how shall you explain it to Denton?" she smirked, watching the expression on Raymon's face change. Now she had the upper hand. With one firm swift kick to the mans crotch, Selece was released. She hit the ground with a thud but was up and reaching for the door in a second.

"I don't think so, little goil," growled Raymon although his voice was higher then usual. He grabbed hold of one of the girl's legs and pulled her to the ground. "Remember? You owe me."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Denton! Where is she?!" screamed Kid as he rounded the corner. He stared at the reporter earnestly.

"She's in the room with her father," Denton said, pointing to the closed door.

Blink nodded then moved to enter it but Denton stopped the boy, "No, don't. Leave the two alone."

"But can't you see she doesn't want to go wit' da man?!" Blink screamed, nearly punching Denton right then and there.

"Her mother was just murdered, I think she is just in denial. Her father just wants to help her, Kid. Please understand," Denton looked at Blink pleadingly.

"Well, fine but if I hear any screams I'm gonna go in dere and kill dat man," Blink said firmly. He crossed his arms, a sour expression on his face as he waited for the two to come back out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Selece struggled to get out from underneath the man who had pinned her down. Tears were streaming down her cheeks, "I don't owe you anything, Raymon. And I will scream if you do not let me up."

"Oh, no! Don't scream, Selece. You know how scared I am of those two puny boys outside the door," he leaned in closer, his foul breath overtaking Selece's senses. "You know I can kill them, Selece. Just like I did yer filthy little bitch of a mother."

"What?!" Selece screamed, her struggling beginning with new fury. Raymon just had to laugh as he continued his tight hold of her wrists, pinning them to the ground.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kid Blink lunged for the door at Selece's yell. But once again Denton stopped him, "Just wait, Kid."

"But," Blink sighed, defeated. And waited again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Isn't it funny that the man you ran to fer help the day you found your mother dead was the one who killed her? I did!" Raymon laughed again as he released one wrist. "Oh, you're so cute, Selece!" he pinched her cheek, laughing his head off. Selece growled, using her free hand to claw at the mans face.

Raymon stopped laughing, growling again. He grabbed her wrist, slamming it back down. "It was your fault, Selece. I knew you were on the fire escape. But you didn't try to help her. You wanted your mother to die. You let her die. What do you think all your new friends are gonna say? You can't face them again because I'm sure none of them killed their mothers!"

"No..n..no.. I didn't let her die. I thought, I thought," Selece was sobbing now. She could barely control herself anymore.

"It was part of the session? Oh, please Selece, who do you think is going to fall for that?"

" Leave me alone. Why are you doing this, Raymon? You were so nice to my mother and I," Selece whispered, her voice hoarse.

"Oh, your mother was so old. It wasn't any fun with an old lady. We needed someone young. Someone like you," Raymon licked his lips. "But yer mother wanted none of that so we had to get rid of her."

"We?" Selece dared to ask.

"Oh, all yer mothers regular men," Raymon laughed. He hadn't had this much fun in a while. "So, now yer mine. And you will work fer free."

"You killed her. You killed my mother just because you wanted better sex," Selece said, her voice falling into that strange monotone state. "I'll kill you, Raymon. I don't care what you do. I'll kill you."

Raymon blinked a few times. That voice always creeped him out. It always made him think she was possessed. The man quickly stood up, pulling her up. "I'll kill yer friends if you do anything, Selece," he said quietly. Raymon then draped his arms around Selece. "Open the door," he commanded. And Selece did so.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kid Blink stared as the door slowly slid open. His eye went wide as he saw such a defeated Selece. Her cheeks were soaking wet with tears, her eyes downcast. There was definitely something wrong here. But he knew he couldn't beat that large man on his own. Especially when Denton wasn't on his side.

All Blink could do was watch as Raymon slowly led Selece down the hall to the exit door. Raymon glanced back, "Thank you so much, Mr. Denton. You.. you just don't understand how much this means to me." Denton nodded, feeling like he had done a good deed. "Selece and I are going to help each other heal. Then visit Leza's grave when we're ready, right Selece?" Selce could do nothing but nod. "Goodbye, Mr. Denton."

Selece waited until they were just two steps from leaving the Tribune building. A few workers who were returning from their breaks gave the two strange looks. But after all, it was a newspaper office so they shrugged it off. Selece took a big breath, looking back to the place where Blink and Denton still stood. And then she screamed as loud as she could.

"Blink! Get Spot! Hurry!"

Will Blink get Spot?

Will Spot kick Raymon's ass?

Will this turn.. dirty?!
