"What the?" Spot shouted as he fell throught the door. He hit the ground with a hard smack. The door was slammed shut. Spot hoisted himself up and looked around the diner. The only person in the place was Allison Oddes. Allison was tall (nearly 5'10"!) and had long brown hair, at the moment her hair hung down to her back, her dark brown eyes were dancing with joy as she stared at spot. She was pretty enough, all though nothing like the girls who worked at the factories.

"So Spot, need some help?" Allison said. She walked up to him, her long brown skirt swaying. She towered over him, and yet he never felt threatened, untill now.

"Not really, could have handled things myself, DARLING, but thanks for the assistance anyways."Spot whispered. The diner was dark, closeing time had passed over an hour ago.

"He's inside! Ova here."One of the boys from outside shouted. Spot whirrled around as the group began pounding on the doors and windows. The windows shook from the impact, they weren't going to hold long.

"Spot, follow me". Allison said dropping to her knees, Spot stared at her 'is this girl nuts?' He thought as he watched her crawl. A sudden boom from the door caused Spot to drop down and follow. The duo made their way around the long marble counter, through an open door way, and into the kitchen area. There was a high wall in the back where the only sink sat. Allison crawled over and put her back to the wall.

"So, why are we sitting back here? what is your plan to just wait till these punks get in?" Spot asked Allison, mocking her. She gave him a look of disguste.

"NO, by all means. Walk out the front door into that gang. Or mabey into the ally, they probably would never look there." Allison said with a smirk. Spot glared at her and then looked around. He didn't like getting help. He was the toughest newsie in the city he didn't need any one.

"Fine, what is your bright idea, Girly?" Spot said mockingly. Allison stood up,she knew she had him.

"well, First I would go to the bathroom,climb out the window and go onto the roofs." She said beginning to walk to the one small bathroom, leaving Spot no choice but to follow.Spot did infact follow her to to the bathroom, he set his cain against the wall and stepped onto the toilet. It smelled rancid in here, not washed very often.

" Fine, thanks doll. I guess you do have a brain somewhere. See you tommorrow mornin'?" He said as he began to crawl through the window.

"Yeah...Tommorrow." Allison said and then pushed him through.
