Author's note: I own Jinx and Vix, but I do not own Spot or any of the other newsies characters. This chapter is pretty intense. You have been warned…. ; )

Vix imagined being with Spot as she walked back to the lodging house. Maybe Spot and her could be a couple. She pictured spending the night with him in his private rom and then selling papes with him in the mornings. She was awakened from her daydream when she heard a crash around the corner. She ran ahead to see what was happening. As she rounded the corner, she saw Jinx picking himself up off of the ground and running at Spot. "Oh my god! STOP!," Vix screamed as she ran toward the two of them. Jinx put out a hand, telling her to stop. "Stay out of this, Vixen! This is between me and Spot." Vixen's stomach was in her throat , Jinx was not a good fighter, there was no way he could beat Spot. She could not do anything. She just stood there with her hands over her mouth begging them to stop. She began to cry. The sound of Vixen's crying and yelling drew the other Brooklyn newsies' attention and soon there was a small crowd forming around the fight.

Jinx lunged at Spot who moved out of the way, tripping him and pushing him back to the ground. Vix could tell that Spot was just toying with Jinx. After Jinx got himself up again he tried to throw a punch at Spot. Spot grabbed Jinx's fist and slammed his own into Jinx's jaw. Jinx fell backward holding his face. Spot didn't stop there, though. He attacked Jinx with full force, now. He grabbed Jinx by the collar and shoved his knee into his abdomen, knocking the air out of his lungs. As Jinx struggled for breath, Spot landed another punch right into Jinx's chest and then hit him again in the face. Jinx fell to the ground in a heap.

Spot knelt over him and grabbed his collar to pull his face up from the ground. Vixen gasped when she saw Jinx's face. It was spattered with blood and swollen, rendering him unrecognizable. Spot was about to hit him again when Vix called out. "Please, Spot, don't hurt him anymore!" Spot looked up at her and saw the terror in her eyes. He let go of Jinx's collar and his body fell back down to the ground. Vixen ran to Jinx, now and helped him lift his head off of the ground. Jinx could barely see and he didn't know if it was the blood in his eyes or if he had a concussion. "Jinx, are you okay!," Vix said through her tears.

You will never beat me , Spot. I will be the King of Brooklyn. I know that you are hiding something! Spot whirled around with rage in his eyes. He bolted towards Jinx. Jinx was beginning to be able to see again, when Spot's boot connected with the side of his head. It made a horrible cracking sound that seemed to echo in the street. Vix screamed out loud without even realizing it. She looked up at Spot in horror. "Why did you do that?," her voice cracked from all of the yelling. "He can't talk to me like that. He needed to learn his fucking lesson!," Spot yelled back at her. He stood in front of her with his arms crossed. His boots and his fists were spattered with blood. She looked down at Jinx and saw that Spot had broken his skull. She put her fingers at his pulse and felt nothing. She put her ear to his chest and heard nothing. Vixen stood up with tears rolling down her cheeks. She looked down at her clothes and saw that she had blood all over her clothes as well. When she looked back up at Spot. "He wasn't saying anything. What are you talking about?" Vix's mind could not comprehend what had just happened. The last thing she saw was Jinx's lifeless body before she lost conciousness.
