Ok, so this is a quick update thing because I have a football game to get to, Go Spartan! and I realized I haven't update in a long time. I'll do shoutouts to everyone next chapter hopefully in two days but thank you to everyone. I appericate it that you keep reading the story, including it for being my first one too!

Chapter 19: I will agree to that

The sunlight went through the window onto Spot. He stirred a little but stopped suddenly when he felt a girl laying next to him. Spot slowly opened his eyes.

"I hope I didn't wake you." he said. Accent looked up at him.

"No. I've been up for awhile." she said.

"Why didn't you wake me?" he asked.

"I didn't want to bother you. You looked so peaceful. Besides I've been thinking. I kinda have a plan." she said sitting up and he followed.

"Can you tell me?" Even though he knew she didn't want his help he still wanted to know what she was going to do.

"Ya. I was waiting for you to wake up so I could tell you. Let me just go get a change of clothes and then I want to leave. I'll be right back." she made a move to get up but she stopped for a moment.

"Is something wrong?" Spot asked concerned.

"No." she said looking at him. "Thanks." she said giving him a hug. When she let go she didn't pull back all the way. Instead her lips found his. He was shocked that she did it but nevertheless he gave into it. She had wanted to do this since when he first kissed her. It wasn't as sweet as their first but this one did have more passion to it. It was a bit rough at first but he slowly was able to lead her. After a few moments he slowly pulled away from her because he would have lost control of himself if he kept kissing her like that.

"What's wrong? Did I do something wrong?" she asked. You could see the fear in her eyes.

"No no. Nothing is wrong." he said giving her a quick kiss just to show her he did enjoy it. "Why don't you go get dressed and then we'll leave." he said.

"Alright." she said getting up. She went into her room very quietly so she wouldn't wake up the guys. She laid on the floor next to her bed, who she noticed Nathan was sleeping in. Accent reached for the bag underneath her bed and pulled it towards her. She slowly got to her feet and walked out.

When Spot saw her walking out of the bathroom he noticed she was dressed differently than usual. She had on dark brown pants, a white shirt, a tan jacket that looked a little too big for her, cowboy boots and a large belt going across her hips. He met her in the middle of the room.

"Are you ready?" he asked her.

"Ya. Ready as I'll ever be." she replied. She smiled shyly at him. "Let's go before the other's wake up." and with that they left the apartment.

Nathan heard a door shut and he slowly opened his eyes. He looked around with his half closed eyes and lifted his head to see better. He didn't see anything, so he dropped his head back on Accent's pillow and went back to sleep. He woke up an hour later not thinking about the door he heard shut earlier. He slowly sat up and grabbed the pillow next to him. He threw it over to the other side and it landed on Jon's head.

"What?" you could hear a groan come from under the pillow.

"Wake up." Nathan said.

"No." Nathan heard Jon yell from under the pillow once again.

"Come on Jon." he said. He stood up and walked to where Jon was trying to sleep for as long as possible. He pulled the pillows and covers away.

"What are you doing?" Jon asked.

"Getting you up, that's what."

"Do you know how long it's been since I slept in a bed?"

"Well do you know how much danger your friend is in?" Nathan looked at him. Jon looked lost for words. "Come on, we have to go talk to her." Nathan said walking over to the door as Jon got up with a sigh and followed suit.

"Where is she?" Jon asked when he noticed that she wasn't in the front room.

"She was sleeping in the other room remember." Nathan replied. He didn't see Spot so he thought he would just knock on the the door where the girls were sleeping. "Hey girls? Are you up?" he said softly knocking on the door. He looked at Jon who just shrugged his shoulders. Nathan turned back to the door and knocked again. He decided to open the door this time and when he did no one was there. "Umm" he said turning back to Jon.

"What? What is it?" Jon asked.

"No one is there." Nathan said closing the door.

"Huh?"

"What time is it?" Nathan wondered out loud and that's when he saw it. The clock on the opposite wall. "Is it really almost ten?"

"Well if that's what the clock says, then yes. Where do you think everyone is?" Jon asked this time. Nathan thought for a moment.

"They're at work." he said as it clicked in his head. "Come on, I know where she works at."

"Work?" he asked as if it was a strange word. "Who the hell works." he said mostly to himself at the horrible thought of having to actually work. He was fine with the farms because that was your own farm but actual work was beyond him. Why anyone chose to work for someone else was a mystery.

"Just come on." Nathan said and with that they left.

FC had just finished getting the store ready for the day, when her mind kept drifting back to Accent.

"Are you alright Betty?" FC heard someone say. She looked up and saw it was Mr. Johnston.

"Ya, I'm fine." she said.

"Are you sure?" he asked once more.

"Ya why wouldn't I be?"

"Ok." he said. He looked and it seemed he took notice to something. "Where's Jenna?"

"O. She's not feeling well. I think she has the flu." FC said covering for Accent.

"In the middle of May?" he asked surprised.

"Ya I know. I still can't believe it either." she said now getting a better look at her boss. "Mr. Johnston you're not looking well yourself either."

"I know, I don't feel like myself either. Ever since the baby has been around-"

"The baby? I didn't know your wife was with child. I saw her two months ago, she looked in pretty good shape to be carrying a baby." she said in shock. Mr. Johnston looked at her and then shook his head as if he was snapped back into reality.

"O no. She wasn't having baby. Her sister was." he said.

"She has a sister?"

"Ya or I should say had. Her sister died in childbirth and since we were the baby's closes living relatives we took in the baby."

"What about her husband?" FC asked a little confused.

"She wasn't married. And we don't now who the babies father is because she was raped."

"So you took the baby? How thoughtful." FC was amazed with his generosity.

"Yes. We didn't want him to grow up in an orphanage and even if we don't know who his father is, he will always be family."

"Mr. Johnston you're so caring. If you ever need me to handle the store for a day so you can rest, just let me know."

"Now that is thoughtful." he said smiling. "But right now I have some paper work and it looks like you have some customers to help." as he said that he walked back to his office. FC turned around to the front door when she heard it open and there was Nathan and Jon standing in the doorway.

"Have you seen Jenna this morning?" Nathan asked before she could say anything.

"No. I think she's with Spot." FC said going to the counter to sit down.

"You think." Nathan repeated what he heard.

"Yes because both of them weren't there when we woke up this morning. And knowing Accent if she's not around and Spot's not around then they're most likely together. Plus I have the feeling that she wanted to talk to him some more." she said.

"Talk to him some more?" Jon asked.

"Ya. He was comforting her last night when we heard her crying and we could hear them talking to each other. My guess is and it's a pretty good chance, she's with him."

"Do you know where they'll be?" Nathan asked.

"No. Sometimes they stay in Manhattan other times they're in Brooklyn."

"Ok. We're going to find her. We'll met you girls back at your apartment later tonight." Nathan said and with that the two guys left to go find their friend.

Josh was walking to the meeting spot where he told the all guys to met except for Jon. He spent the night before finding the guys he didn't have time to rest. But was able to find a couple of hours in the afternoon. He was trying his hardest to hold everyone off for awhile so Jenna had enough time to think of something to do. All he could hope was that she had a plan by now because he couldn't wait any longer. As he saw the lightly lit sky, he knew there was only about a couple of hours before sunset.

"Alright guys." he said as he approached the group. "She's in Manhattan and we can't go back to McClaire until we have her. So let's hope this is a one time thing. Let's go." Josh said but someone stopped him.

"What about Jon?" one of the guys asked.

"What about him?" Josh said.

"Well shouldn't he be here as well?" the same guy spoke.

"Forget about him. We have something to do." with that said Josh started walking away and everyone followed.

After ten minutes of walking they were near Central Park. And that's when something caught the attention of everyone's eye. Accent. She was running past them and headed off in the direction they were first going.

"Come on. Follow her." Josh said. He was hoping that she might be able to out run them and get away. The guys were catching up to her fast and she was running towards an alleyway. They followed her in the alley and she quickly slowed down. Josh saw the barriers in front of her, but there was no away around it and no way over, so he only had one option to now do. Catch her. All the guys slowed down as well and a couple went up to her with their guns drawn.

"Jenna. Thought you could out run us huh?" Josh said. Going up to her.

"Well it was worth a try wasn't it." She said with a smirk on her face.

"Well I suppose you know why we're here. Probably heard it from the two face friend of yours."

"Really. Jon's here! Where is he?" she said like was finding out her best friend was there. "I can't wait to get my hands on him. That dirty rotten scabba." she said with a slight New York accent that she had picked up during her time there. Josh didn't know why she was acting like this but decided to dismiss it.

"Come on." He said as he grabbed her upper arm and pushed her towards the other guys who grabbed onto her immediately so she couldn't get away. "Let's go guys." Josh said and they started heading towards the place McClaire would be.

"Spot!" Spot heard someone yell his name. It was getting close to dark time but he still had some time of light left that he decided to stay at the docks. He looked down from his perch and saw two guys running towards him past his other newsies. He decided to go down and see what was happening. He waited by the base of his perch for the guys to come. He instantly recognized them.

"Do you know where Jenna is?" Nathan asked panicked. Jon and him had been searching all day and they couldn't find her anywhere. Brooklyn was their last hope.

"Accent." Spot said correcting Nathan. "No I saw her when I left this morning. We talked for a little while and then she went off on her own. Why do you want her?"

"Because we want to talk to her." Jon said.

"About what?" Spot asked them.

"You know about what Spot. Where is she?" Nathan asked.

"She's not here."

"You better not be lying to me. I swear if you are and we find her injured in anyway, I'm going to come after you." Nathan said.

"Look." Spot said raising his voice. "I would never lie about Accent. I love her more than the next person and I would never do anything to harm her. I'm just as frightened as you guys about what she decided but she has to deal with this her own way. I told her to come to me the minute she's in trouble. Even when she made me promise that I wouldn't talk her out of what she was doing, I told her that the minute her life is on the line, I'm going to help no matter what. You might think she needs to run but she can't run forever. She can't always look to you guys for help for the rest of her life. So I suggest you guys get out of here before something happens to the either of you." With that Spot started walking away. He decided to leave but he also one of his birds walking down the pier. The guy whispered something to Spot but Nathan and Jon couldn't hear what was being said. Spot turned to the other two still standing there and walked away.

He couldn't believe she pulled him into this. It was bad enough she decided McClaire needed to be killed but they fact that she had him agree to her stupid plan. Well he would go through with it but there would be some minor changes he hope he could make. He was suppose to hide in an alleyway until Nathan and Jon passed him. He waited in the alley not far from the docks. And saw the two walking in his direction. They passed him but he didn't immediately followed. He waited about ten minutes before he went looking for them. Instead of walking to find them he ran. He ran until he saw them. His heart was pounding, his forehead cover with beads of sweet and his breaths shallow.

"Nathan! Jon!" Sot yelled. They were almost near the Brooklyn Bridge. "They got her! They got her!" he reached them.

"What are you talking about?" Nathan said.

"Josh and the others have her. I know where they brought her but I wanted you guys to come and help. Come on let's go!" he started running again to the place where he knew she was and the other two followed after him. They ran for what seemed hours but in reality it was only twenty minutes. Spot stopped across the street from an abandoned building. But what was unnatural about this abandoned building was that it had lights shinning through the window. The three of them moved to the closes alleyway when someone walked in front of the window.

"Are you sure she's here?" Jon asked Spot.

"Ya. Spar told me she was here and that she was in the back left room on the third floor. There's about about five guys plus this McClaire fellow. I say we wait till we have more people to go and get her." Spot said. He gave a loud but short whistle and just looked at the building. A newsie came up from behind Nathan and Jon and it gave them a little bit of a fright. It was the same newsie that told Spot something at the docks. He had brown hair, brown eyes, shorter than Spot and you could tell he had lanky legs under the big clothes he wore. But Spot didn't move an inch. He just kept his eyes on the building as the newsie came to his side. "Spar I want you to run Manhattan and tell Jack to met us here. And tell him to bring Race, Blink, and Mush. Be quick and tell him to get here fast." Spot looked at him when he said the last comment. Spar nodded his head and set out for Manhattan into the setting the sun.

"What are you doing Spot?" Nathan asked.

"We're getting back up. We can't possibly take on them five, McClaire and get Accent out safe enough."

"What are we suppose to do until they come just wait here and do nothing." Nathan said.

"Exactly." Spot said.

He was trying to remain calm for Accent's sake but as the seconds went by he was getting more and more nervous. She was in there, possibly tied up, no not possibly, she was. Spot knew it because Spar saw it. "He could be doing anything to her. Come on Spar hurry." he thought. It had already been a couple of hours and the night was getting colder. Everyone's thoughts were going crazy. Jon was hoping McClaire wasn't going to do anything to her and Nathan couldn't help imagine what he was going to do to McClaire when he got his hands on him. Nathan looked over to Spot and just watched him for a moment. He was perfectly still like a portrait as he watched the building in front of him. Feelings weren't found anywhere on his face but you could tell his eyes held worry for the girl that was inside.

"Why is about her you like Spot?" Nathan said unexpectedly.

"What?" Spot was thrown off by his question.

"You heard me. Why do you like her?" Nathan repeated it once more. Spot didn't answer for a moment. He thought about the conversation they had earlier that day.

"Accent be truthful with me. Did you ever like Nathan more that a best friend." Spot asked her. It was on his mind since FC told him but it had really hit a nerve since the recent events.

"Spot. I did like. Actually I loved him but he never really knew. I told him not to long before I left but he never told he liked me. He always acted indifferent about it. But as time passed and he never said anything I slowly fell out of love with him if that makes any sense."

"It makes perfect sense." Spot said stopping her. "I don't want to seem cruel about it but I'm glad you 'fell out of love with him'". She looked at him. Not a single once of shock to what he said showed on her face. "Accent I know it's not the perfect time to ask. But I would love it if you would agreed to be my girl." She just kept looking at him and it was making him nervous.

"Spot. I will agree to that." She said smiling at him.

"I don't know how to explain it. When I met Accent I was changing. There was just something about her that seemed like she wasn't one of the girls I'd always be with. When I got to know her I realized that she was shy but whenever she talked I wanted to find out more about her. She's the only girl that I have lost my speech around. She's the only girl that I have ever wanted to know about before even thinking about a relationship. And that's the thing. She's the only girl that I ever wanted a relationship with." Spot didn't look at Nathan the whole time he talked but instead at the building. "And as hard as it is for me to believe or anyone else at that. I'm falling for her with each second that I know her." Spot said this last comment and looked at Nathan. Spot decide it best to leave out the part that she was now his girl. Nathan didn't know what to say. He was hearing another man, but still a boy in his opinion, talk about his best friend since birth. The one he loved and thought that he was the one destined for her. Maybe she was right.

"Things always happen for a reason." she would always say to him.

"Well" he started saying but took a moment. "I'm glad for the both of you." Nathan was no longer looking at the boy the Brooklyn newsies called leader. He was looking at a young man in love.

Spot was nevertheless pleased with what Nathan said. He was sure that he would have to fight to keep her when he got Accent back. But now he was pleased that her friend was now accepting him into her world. "Thanks." he said.

"But if you harm her in any way, I will come after you." Nathan warned him but gave him a smile.

"Trust me. You won't have to. I'll come after myself." Spot replied.

"So what's your plan once the rest get her?" Jon asked from behind the other two.
