"Thanks. Spot, we need te talk." I grabbed Spots arm and dragged him to my room.

"Whudds wid ye lately?" Spot gave me a "look".

"Spot, bout teday. Ye know, if ye keep goin out te sell and leavin me hea, it'll tea me apart." I sat on my bed and Spot sat next to me.

"Angel, I'm sorry but I need te sell. I gotta pay back de guys an besides, Treva can't do nuttin out in broad daylight."

"He can! An he will! Spot, please. I'm beggin ye." I grabbed Spot's hands when he was about to stand. "Please, I hoid Scott talkin and he wants te send me back te Brooklyn, but stayin derre wid out ye will only make dis woise."

"Angel, whudd ye want me te say. Yes I'll stay wid ye? Ye want me te stay dis bad den I will."

"Yes! Dats exactly whudd I want ye te say. Don go back out derre!" I almost began to cry.

"Look," Spot paused and sighed brushing a hand through his air. "Alright, I'll stay in fer a few days. But ye know I'll need te go back out an sell right."

"I know." I felt relieved to know I finally got him to agree.

"At least now I'll know yer safe an I ain't hoitin ye."

The next day me, Bailey, and Doodles talked about my fight with Amber and Baileys situation with Kevin. We all decided
I kicked some ass and that Bailey also needs to spend more time with Kevin. Their relationship started to change a lot since he found out she was also a sister and they still hadn't had time to really talk like Bailey wanted. Kevin also wanted to talk with her yet never seemed to be able to. Les was always with him so I barely got to talk to him either.

By the time Poet came Jack was back from selling. Poet walked into the bunkroom while I was talking with Scott and Doodles. Bailey was the first to notice him walking through the door way as she was talking with Jack nearby. They greeted Poet and then Poet proceeded over by me, Doodles and Scott.

"Ey! I gotta talk te youse." Poet badgered as he sat by us. "I know ye already talked te dat goil bout Treva but I also found somethin out bout her."

"Hold on. Befora ye talk. I wanna know whea ye've been!" Spot hollered walking our way. "Ye know I dun like it when things happen dat I dunno bout."

"I had no choice Spot. I'm sorry. I had te find out some stuff befora I told anyone incase it wasn't true. But I see some things were true. Fer one him havin dat gun." Poet looked at Scotts injury. "Dats one thing I shoulda mentioned te someone."

"Yer damn right!" Spot snapped.

"Look I'm sorry. Now I got some otha info dat ye might wanna hea unless ye'd ratha chew me out foist." Poet looked at Spot with irritation. "Dis one might save some lives."

"Alright, but afta dis we're havin a talk."

"An I think I'd like te join in on dis discussion." Bailey added in. "I think I need some things te say te you!" Bailey gave Poet the evil eye.

"Alright alright. Anyways, somethin I found out is dat Treva got some goons te sell im two guns. But I think ye already got dat down pat."

"Look we dun need yer coments. Now get to it!"

"Alright! Sheesh calm yerself goil! Anyways Treva is also payin de Crypts te keep a look out fer ye as well. Hes payin em an anyone some money te bring her back te im alive. Dis time he wants te do de doity woik."

"Dats it! Dats whudd dose guys were talkin bout!" I said aloud. Everyone stopped and starred at me. "Sorry, I'll tell ye lata so jus get on wid yer story."

"Ok… Anywho Amber told him te move on one day so he kicked her out an told her not te come back unless she brings ye wid her." I eyeballed Spot. "Not te mention when I found her she was cryin in de restaurant so I was gonna give her a taste of me charm. But I found out who she was an told her she desoived whudd she got. Dats when I ran inta youse!" Poet pointed at me. "I'm surprised she didn recognize ye."

"Yeah, good thing I wasn lookin fer her te."

"Anyways dats all I gots. Except fer de fact dat Treva knows yer hea so I suggest ye get de hell outta hea."

"We ain't leavin now. We jus got hea. Besides Scott can't go anywhea an I dun wanna leave im."

"Angel, Poets got a point. If dey know we is hea we should leave. We'll take Kevin wid us too. I'm surre Bailey can decide fer herself if she wants te come, Scott too when hes able but I think we should get outta hea foist."

"Spot, give it one mora day. Jus one? Den we can go." I begged.

"Jus one. An I'm,a go sellin tomorra. I'll be sellin away from hea, nea Harlem so I should be safe."

"Spot! Ye said-"

"I know whudd I said. I'ma need some extra money dough. Specially if I wanna treat me goil an her lil brodda te dinna." Spot gave me his biggest grin.

"Alright. Jus, Make surre yer safe. I hate havin te worry bout ye."

"Good now dats settled. I think its time fer bed. Ang, yer gonna have te get up eilie if we wanna train ye some mora. Doodles ain't goin wid us tomorra." Bailey got up and stretched. "Night guys." Bailey left after kissing Jack.

"Night Bai! Ye goin too Doodles?" I asked standing as well.

"Might as well."

"Night Spot." Me and Doodles walked off and left the boys alone. I approached my room and when I went in I found Kevin sitting on my bed. "Somethin wrong?"

"We're leavin tomorra. Wid out Scott ain't we."

"Yea but he'll be fine. Jack an Race an de oddas are hea. Besides, don ye wanna spend some time wid me Spot and Bai?"

"I guess. I jus dun think its safe te leave im hea."

I tried to comfort Kevin and told him Scott would be ok. He needed to get away to get his mind off of things. It didn't occur to me till then that maybe this was harder on Kevin than it was on me or Bailey. He barely talked about these things to us so we really didn't know.

"Kev. I promise ye we're gonna have fun! Dun worry bout Scott. Everyone hea'll take care o him. Now go te bed since ye need twelve houas o sleep ye punk." I hugged Kevin before he left.

"Hey, Angel. I think its time we had dat talk." Spot said to me the as we arrived at the Brooklyn Lodging House. "I wanned te do dis soona but since we haven been hea I haven't been able te show ye somethin I want ye te see."

"Ye mean about de key?" I remembered the talk Spot wanted to have when I was at Christina's.

"Yeah bout dat. I also have te show ye somethin else dats as imporatent te me as youse is."

"Somethin er someone?" I asked feeling a pain in my stomach hoping it wasn't what I thought.

"Angel, ye know yer de only goil fer me. But derres somethin I want ye te know bout me before, way before we get married. Incase dis scares ye off er somethin." Spot's face was serious and he looked worried.

"Look, if it ain't anudda goil den ye got nuttin te worry bout. When I accepted yer ring, I accepted youse an anythin dat comes wid it." I smiled and kissed him.

Spot smiled back and I could tell he was relieved and so was I. But I did feel a little stupid thinking there was someone else especially since it was Spot. The one and only person who I fell in love with and he loved me just as much back But in a way I was worried with whom he was keeping secret.
