The sun rose high above the brooklen peir that was the newsboys hangout. Spot lay in his cloth hammock and stared up at the blue sky that would dart in between his wooden celing. It was a warm day so his room was a comfortable temperature. Far off in the distance he could hear his fellow newsies splaishing in the river below.

"Well, if it ain't everyone's da." Fire, a brown haired pale complexioned boy yelled out. Spot sat up and looked around his room. His hat was hanging off a upturned hook next to the make shift bed. He quickly snatched it up and placed it on his head. No sooner than that did Jack, a tall boy of 18 strode through the door. He was wearing a nicely pressed suit and his hair was oiled down. In his arms he carried a little bundle that was slightly rustling.

"Hello Spot, or shall I say good mornin'?" Jack said shifting the bundle from one arm to the other. Spot made a hand gesture that wasn't so nice and stood up.

"So Jack, what is it you want this time? And eh..whats with the get up?" He asked motioning to the clothing. Jack walked over to a crate in the corner and sat down the bundle rustled some more and made a squeeking noise.

"Well see heres the thing, Sarah wants me to get a real job. Something about can't take care of the baby on a boys salery. I feel so bad, shes always workin' and all. So I'm trying to get a job you sees?" Jack said sitting up.

"that explains the clothing but why do you need me?" Spot started, then his face changed as Jack's idea dawned on him." No way..I ain't no good with babys. Come on you can't as me to!" He said paceing the floor Jack stood up and the bundle let out another series of squeeks.

"Please...all yous gotta do is watch Ghidora for a few hours tops. I trust you. And you know I wouldn't ask it if this wasn't important." Jack pleaded while he rocked the small baby girl. Spot looked up. The sun had been overcasted by the clouds and there was a dark shadow over the entire peir. He looked out the window, there was 30 or so boys horseing around. It was a weekend and news was good so many didn't have to sell all day.

"Fine, I'll watch the brat.So where you looking for work?" Spot asked sitting in his hammock.

"News papers first, Denton said he may get me in. Sarah said I should look in an office, they pay well so I gotta try. Eh..Spot? Wheres your cain?" Jack asked looking around the baby girl had fallen back to sleep.

"Oh, got into some trouble last night with K and his boys. Trying for that 'protection' money again. What a joke." Spot said then chuckled. Jack shook his head.

"This is getting serious. Two nights ago they ruffed up some of Long Island's newsies. They think that they own everything. I say we all get together to kick some butt." Jack said slouching back, then he realized he was wearing his suit and sat up.

"Ohh Mr.Goona get a job wants to be a newsie again. Don't worry Jack, we can handle ourself. now don't you got a job or something to git to?" Spot said standing up. Jack gave Spot the baby and turned to leave.

"Be back soon, If I see Allison I'll tell her you need your cain." Jack said with a wink. Spot would have thrown something at him, but he was holding the now sleeping baby. The newsboy had quieted down now, the splashing had all but receded from the back drop. The baby rustled slightly in Spot's arms and a smile crept across his face.

"Shh...Dora, it's okay Uncle Spot's got ya now." He said rocking back and forth.
