Spot P.O.V.
That's it! I thought the plan was going to work, and I thought my newsies were on MY side. Time for a talk.

"Boys! Get ya asses o'er hea!" They all line up.
"Ise cannot believe youse! Why would ya do dis? Ise thought youse wanted a new Queen!" I glare at Ace. "Ace!" He steps forward.

"To be honest, nobody likes youse, and we ratha have 'er than youse as our leadah." I squint my eyes at him. The boys behind him look at each other. "Pfft! Can youse hea dat? Meghan Baletti! Leadah of Brooklyn? Did they bust up ya brains or something?" He nods no.

"I agree wit Ace!" Muddy speaks up.
"Yeah!" Pip adds.
The rest of the boys nod their heads.

"What does dis mean? Youse kickin me out?" The boys nod their heads. "Youse can't do dat! Ise got stronger men than youse!"

My big men pick me up and I'm thrown out and I land on my butt at the curb. "Keep ya pimp cane and ya slingshot! And here's ya clothes!" A suitcase comes flying and I move out of the way before it hits me in the head.

I pick up my stuff and walk away to a nearby alley, swearing under my breath.

Ace P.O.V.
"Now! Since we ain't got a leadah! Let's go find Meg! Ise like Pip, Snoddy, and Cheat ta go. Now get goin!" They run off into the night.
