"Gettin' straight ta business, huh?" Jack Kelly asked

"Well what do I owe for the honor to be in Jack Kelly's presence?" I goofed

"Youse betta than me." He laughed

"Yeah, well your name is more known. So what can I do for ya?" I sighed

"Youse have a kid named Trucky?" He asked

"Why?" I said

"Wes needs ta talk. He stole somethin from me I want it back." He calmly said playing with his hands

"What is it?" I asked

"Nothin that concerns you." He scoffed

"Actually he's my Newsie so it do concern me!" I yelled annoyed

"No it don't." He said walking closer

"Get outa here." I said quietly yet demandingly

"What eva y/n. I will get it back." He laughed

"What could a kid like Trucky steal?" I asked

"Da money I was savin to get to Santa Fe." He sighed

"Why's youse goin ta Santa Fe?" I asked

"Youse gonna stay in New York for da rest of ya life?" He asked

"Fair point." I sighed

"Follow me." I said

"Jes, Trucky. Come wit me." I said

"Why's the old one comin? Youse don't trust me?" Jack asked

"Not really with how aggressive youse was talkin to me." I huffed

"Why's this involve Trucky?" Jes whispered

"Jack said he stole somethin. Ise bringin you because I can't get Jack off of someone." I whispered back

With that Jes pulled Trucky closer.

"Am Ise in trouble?" Trucky asked tugging on my shirt

"No Trucky." I said patting him on the head

We had arrived a to a an abandoned building only like three building away from 'home'

"Trucky, Jack says that youse stole some money from him. Did you?" I asked looking him in the eye

"No. Why would Ise do that?" He said tears forming in his eyes

"Hey it's ok." I said pulling him into a hug

"What makes ya think Trucky took it?" Jes asked

"I saw him walkin around right before wes all went ta bed." Jack said

"So you didn't see anything happen? It could of been one of your newsies." Jes said making a point

"So than what was he doin walking around 'hatten?" Jack asked

"Wes was goin ta visit one of me old friends. We got separated." Jes replied

"I gotta go. Thanks fa nothin." Jack said leaving

"The nerves of Jack Kelly." Jes sighed

"You ok?" I asked Trucky

"Yeah I suppose." He yawned

I picked him up. He rested his head on my shoulder.

"Let's go home." Jes said

We walked back to home. Trucky fell asleep shortly. His small snores made me smile. He had, had a long day. He was accused of stealing and witnessed a fight all on a day he was supposed to have off.

We made it back home. He's told all the  older Newsies that hadn't already gone bed to go to bed. I quietly walked into the room Trucky shared with a few other smaller newsies. I laid him in his bed and covered him in his blanket. I moved a small peice of hair out of his face than quietly walked out.

I walked up on the roof to find Jes looking off into New York.

"It's peaceful at night." I said walking up to him

"Yeah." He sighed

"You good?" I asked

"Yeah. It's just,...Trucky so young and sweet I just don't know how he's made it this far in his life. Same goes with Peaches." He sighed

"Yeah. Well their here. You and Greg should be happy about that. Their both here because of you two." I said sitting down

"So what were you and Greg really fighting about this morning?" I asked

"We, we're fighting over some girl. He was calling some chick that he sold a pape to was a slut. And that she should die. Overall just sayin awful things about her." He said sitting next to me

"Thanks." I said hugging him

"Why?" He asked hugging back

"This." I sighed showing him my arm

"I may have some cool stories but I do have some that I wasn't able to get out of." I sighed looking at my arm

"Do you mind telling me?" He asked looking at me

"Well the boy that did this is a horrible boy that I was not able to escape from for three years. That's why no one knows me personally except for like two people." I said

"I bet you'd be at the top of all newsies if you weren't gone for three years." He smiled

"Yeah, I bet I would." I giggled

"You know who it was?" He asked

"Yeah. It's someone I hope I never cross paths with again." I sighed

"We should get goin to bed." He said getting up

I silently followed. I walked to my room and plopped down on my bed. I sat there for a few minutes and just thought. I was scared out of my thoughts because of a knock on my window.

I walked over and opened it to be greeted with none other than Spot Conlon.

"What the hell is youse doin here?" I asked

"I wanted ta see ya beautiful face." He said

"Come in." I sighed

Spot jumped in and closed the window.

"So why me?" I asked

"Because. I want ta get to know you." He said walking over to me

"So than let get to know each other." I said patting on the bed next to me

Spot's POV

She patted for me to join her so I did. We sat there and talked. She told me about how she had been kidnapped for three years but she never said a name.

I told her my backstory which not many people know. I opened up to her without even meaning too. It was just something about her. It was different than most goils.

I liked her. No. That's not correct. I loved her. I wanted to protect her. No matter what it costed.

"It's late. Do you want to stay over?" She asked

"No Ise gotta get back." I sighed going over to the window
