"Kyle… I mean Spot, I missed ya. I was so excited when I'se found you'se picture in da pape oveh da summeh. Daddy saw it, but 'e didn't recognize his own son. I knew it was you. I was so glad you'se weren't dead. I'd figured you'd left New York of died years ago." Kylie explained to Spot.

"Kylie, I'se missed ya too. What 'ave you been doin' oveh da last six years?" Spot inquired.

"I was selling homemade stuff I made. I'se read da pape dat da newsies put out and I'se came to da huge rally wit all of da othe' woikers tryin' to find you. I'se saw you dere. You were yellin' 'Brooklyn!'" Kylie laughed.

"I'se had to represent me territory. Brooklyn is da most powerful territory in all of New York. Wit out our support, da newsies strike woulda flopped." Spot told her.

"How did you end up as da leader of da Brooklyn newsies?" Kylie asked.

"When I'se left home, I'se became a Manhattan newsie for about six months. I learned da ropes, and by da end of da six months I was one of da best sellehs in Manhattan. Afte' six months, I saw Pop one day. I don't tink 'e recognized me, but I didn't wanna take any chances, so I moved" Spot explained.

"Foist, I moved to Queens. Afte' I was dere for a year, da Queens newsies got into a big fight wit da newsies from Harlem. Queens took da Harlem newsies easily, and Red, da head on Queens appointed me to take oveh Harlem, so I did. Den I made friends wit da newsies from da Bronx. Dey taught me hows to use me slingshot. I was real good wit it, and dey told me I should compete wit da boys from Brooklyn" Spot remembered

"Brooklyn has always been known as da toughest section of newsies. Dey know how to fight, and no one challenges dem for territory. Brooklyn is also known for dere slingshots, and dere slingshot contests. Dey didn't hold da contests very often, but when dey did, the top prize was big. If you beat Joe, the leader of da Brooklyn newsies, you became the leader of da Brooklyn newsies. Well dat was da rumor anyway. No one had eveh beaten 'im before, until me" Spot told Kylie.

"After about two years as da head of Harlem, I competed in da Brooklyn slingshot contest, and I won, beating Joe. Well, da Brooklyn newsies didn't wanna lose dere leader so easily, since Joe had been in charge for as long as anyone could remembeh. I was put against Joe in a fist fight. I whooped his ass. Too embarrassed to shoe 'is face again, 'e left, leaving me 'is cane and da right to rule Brooklyn, and I have eve' since." Spot described.

"Wow, dat's a long story… What if someone beats you at da slingshot?" Kylie asked.

"No one eveh will. I'd leave before dat would happen." Spot laughed.

"What would you do if you left bein' a newsie?"

"Get a job at da docks I guess… I'se neveh really thought about it before. Neveh had a reason to."

"Don't ya wanna get married eventually? You are almost 16 afte' all. Most people today is getting' married by da time dey are 19." Kylie informed him.

"Some day I'll get married. You'se gotta remembeh though, dere ain't many good girls in my line of woik. And what about you'se? You're older den me!" Spot laughed.

"I'se got my eye on someone…" Kylie smiled.

"Let me guess. Kid Blink." Spot said giving his sister his infamous look. Kylie just smiled and looked at her sleeping daughter.
