Spot's POV

"So was they bangin?" I heard someone say as I walked in the dinna'

"No wes wasn't." I rolled my eyes as I went to sit at the table again

"What's bangin'?" Trucky asked

"It's when..." Jack started but got cut off by Race

"It nothin Youse need to know about. Now finish you food." He said glancing at Jack like he was crazy for going to explain to a little kid what it was.

"What?" Jack asked stupidly

"What the hell do Youse think?" I chimed in

"I don't see a problem with im' knowin." Jack said scrunching up his nose

"Yeah well, wes three do." David said pointing at himself than Race and myself

"Why?" He asked

This idiot.

"Just drop it." I growled

After that no one talked. After all I was Soot Conlon. That was my job. Everyone listened to me. People say Ise is the most feared Newsie but, I don't want ta be. I mean sure it has it's perks but, it also means that not everyone will just willingly tell me what to do or even sometimes talk to me.

"Hey." Y/n smiled sitting down pulling me out of my thoughts

"Hey."I smiled back

"What's bangin'?" Peaches asked suddenly popping up from under the table

"I said drop it." I looked over at him saying it with sternness in my voice just enough to get the point through but not to scare him

"What?" Y/n asked in absolute confusion

"It's nothin." I sighed leaning on her shoulder

"Fox there's some scabba's outside that want to see ya. I can distract im' while Youse get outta here." He said sliding into a chair across from her

Y/n looked over to the door and replied, "no it's fine." She got up and started walking to the door

"Who are they?" I asked following her out the door.

"I don't know." She said

"I'm coming with you." I said still following her to the door

"I figured." She laughed as we reached the door

"Hello?" She questioned as we walked out the door closing behind us

"Fox?" She asked

"Maybe I is and maybe Ise isn't." She said

That was the first thing she said to my face. It brought back that great feeling that I had when I first talked to her. It was wonderful. I was high off of the feeling. I don't even know how to explain it it was like I was floating somewhere over the rainbow.

"Honey we need to know if your him or not." The women said

"First, don't call him honey. Second, why do Youse need him?" I asked getting protective and standing in front of her

"What's goin on?" Race asked as he walked out of the dinna' with Jack, David, Rat, Chance, Bucky, and Bruce

"None of your business. Now Fox we would like to talk to you in private honey." The women spoke up, the man was oddly silent

"Stop calling me honey." She huffed with anger

If wes weren't there she might have beat them up right there and then. I put my arm around her hopping it would calm her down.

"Will you just come with us? We have a proposal for you." The man smiled

He was creepy. He wasn't right. I knew he would go through hell with Skiddy if he even touched her.

"No he can't." Race said standing in front of her on the other side to were she had been pushed behind us and out of their sight

I hadn't realized but, the others had started forming a circle around her. Yeah we were just kids but, there was nine of us who were used to fighting and these two scabbers who probably have never had to do work in their lives let alone fight their own battles.

"Come on now don't be so stubborn. Well give you a better life." The women smiled sweetly

She was definitely hiding something.

"Okay. I'll go." Y/ smiled pushing her way though the circle

"What? No, please stay." I said but it mainly came out as a whisper. I couldn't lose her. Definitely not this easy.

"Trust me." She whispered turning around to the two grown ups

They walked away. She left me. I was alone.

"What the hell? Fox, come back! Please! I can't live without you." Race said taking off after her

"Wait. She has a plan." David said stopping Race

"Let goes of me. Let go! I have to go!" Race yelled with tears now running down his face.

"Listen. We should trust David on this one." I said trying to calm him down

"Are you crazy! I have to go! Let me go!" He yelled again escaping David's grasp

"Hey! Listen! Trust us. She will be fine." I yelled holding his shirt and getting in his face

"If something happened to her I swear to god." He huffed before walking into the alleyway next to the dinner, probably to smoke a cigar.

"Run!" Y/n yelled hurtling towards us

Her voice shocked us all. Race had come out of the alleyway at the sound of her voice.

"From what?" We all said around the same time

"I'll explain later we just gotta get everyone outta here and to.... I don't know.... Brooklyn? Sound good. Good. Now move!" She said with a serious tone in her voice

"Trucky, Peaches, Les help me get the little kids out of here okay?" I said following Fox's pursuit

"On it!" Les said jumping to the other table

I got all the kids outside and Race, Bucky, and Bruce helped lead them all to Brooklyn.

We had to sneak through 'Hatten. We saw the two a few times looking around. They weren't alone. Theyse had more older people with them.

We finally got to Brooklyn and slowly more newsies had showed up. We put the little ones inside. And we all waited outside. A few newsies that arrived went inside to watch the younger kids.

"What's happening?"

"Why are we here?"

"What are we running from?"

"Shut up! When I have an answer I'll tell you. What I can tell you now is that no one leaves this area. Got it?" I shouted over everyone

"Spot." Y/n gasped as she pushed through the crowd

"Y/n" I sighed with relief

"What are we running from?" I asked looking into her eyes that were filled with worry.

It's all in Spots POV. I figured it would be a nice change. I told you things wouldn't be getting better. What are they running from? Who were those people? Don't worry Trucky, Peaches and Les will be safe. They won't be taken or wander off. Also as of writing this I just finished watching part 4 of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and oh my Lucifer! I wasn't it excepting like anything that had happened in that season. If this seemed a little scattered it's because I had school online and was writing in between classes when I had the chance. Anyways thanks for readin! Bye ✌️
