"God, that would be something." Raven said sort of wistfully. Sometimes her thought process actually scared her and the things she was capable of...but she knew her hardness was because of her brother. She would never ever be the soft sweet girl ever again, and it was Hunter's fault.

When they reached the lodging house, Spot signed into the ledger again and handed Raven the pencil. He was looking forward to going to bed.

Raven signed her name and then headed up the stairs. She knew Spot would be right behind her.

Once they reached the door to his room, Spot reached for the key behind his neck and opened the door. They were almost there, so close, there was the bed-
"Spot."
Spot groaned and glanced at the voice behind him. It was Hawk, one of the younger newsies. "Yeah?" He turned to look at the younger newsie. "What's going on?"
"I need your help in the bunkroom, Joey won't pay up, he lost to me at marbles and won't pay up!" Hawk was close to tears. Spot sighed and glanced at Raven.
"Wait for me in here, I'll be right back." He left with Hawk towards the bunkroom, but instead of going in, Hawk led him to a fire escape.
"This guy is asking for you." Hawk gestured to the window, and left. Spot cursed under his breath and headed towards the window, opening it up and stepping outside.
"Who the hell are you!" Spot demanded, furious that he'd show up here in front of everybody, especially Raven. Spot didn't even recognize him. The guy said nothing and only gave Spot a piece of paper, leaving immediately after.

Being the ever obedient girlfriend that Raven was she of course followed Spot and Hawk back into the hallway and watched the entire exchange.
She crossed her arms and waited for Spot to return, tapping her foot on the wood floor. "Who the fuck was that and what did he give you?"

"Jesus Christ Raven!" Spot glared at her, shutting the door to their room firmly behind him. "Just leader business, alright? I have a guy watching the Bronx Lodging House to see if Sammy shows up." He took out the piece of paper and handed it to her. "He saw him sneaking in through the third story window at noon today."
He watched her scan the letter, which said exactly what Spot claimed. Rollling his eyes, Spot took off his shirt and pants and tossed them over a chair. He needed to stay calm, unless she would never believe it.

"So he did team up with my Brother..." Raven said, she crumpled the paper in her hand and glared at the floor. "Son of a bitch." She turned to face him.
"I know you got that meeting with Jack and Race tomorrow, you better tell them how serious this is. Sammy knows that you'se are close, he'll tell Hunter."

"Yeah, but I'm not going to worry about this. Hunter's wanted a turf war against us for years, and he's never been able to convince enough Bronx newsies to go against us. Sammy is not going to change their minds," Spot pointed out, climbing into bed.

Raven got into bed next to him. "Yea but they didn't move on us cause they didn't have enough man power." She looped her arm in back of her head and stared at the cracked ceiling. "Spot if my brothers really teamed up with Sammy were in trouble...he's capable of anything."

"So am I," Spot muttered, turning on his side and thinking about the actual paper the guy handed him, although he was trying not to. It had been a close one- horribly close- but luckily he wasn't new at this.
Spot had officially lied to Raven.
It was an extremely uncomfortable thing for him, but it had to be done. Bruno's guy just showed up at the Lodging House, after Spot had specifically told Bruno never to do that.

Raven scooted closer to him and wrapped an arm around his waist, closing her eyes. She'd be lucky to actually get to sleep tonight. She kissed the crook of Spot's neck and made herself comfortable.
((that SOB if she finds out about the lying she'll have a freak out))

Spot kissed her forehead, his eyes shut. "No one will ever touch you again," he mumbled to her, trying to get her to relax. He could tell how tense she was, and he was on the verge of passing out at any moment.

"I know," She whispered. Raven could tell he was at that exhausted tired where his body was just taking over. He'd been falling asleep like that a lot lately, while she was suffered from the worst bouts of insomnia she'd ever had.
It was probably because of the nightmares, the thought of Hunter getting closer and closer had brought them back. She couldn't remember a night where she didn't wake with a scream in her throat.

"Good," he breathed, barely mumbling the words "iloveyou" before losing consciousness and falling asleep.
