<<new day>>
Jack slipped into the Brooklyn lodging house, sitting down on a delapitated couch for a minute before standing up and pacing a bit.
no.
he sat back down.
and then stood back up.
Clearly, Jack was a bit torn. He almost went back out, but finally sat down firmly. He was going to go through with this.
Spot just needed to come in soon. Otherwise he would lose all nerve.

SlingShot strode into the lodging house, then stopped, surprised at seeing Jack there. "Hey Jack.... um, watcha doin in Brooklyn?" she was genuinly concerned, because she honestly had no idea what another newsie might do to Jack if they found him here. Odds are it wouldn't be good...

Jack forced a weak smile to Slingshot. "Waiting for Spot. We need to talk." He ran a hand through his dark chestnut hair. "He is upset at the rest of us...and I'm going to try and patch it up. We need him back." He didn't add that he was a bit upset at Prince and Ace as well. Not as much, for he had known some of the details, but him and Spot had more in common now. He had never been one to be the mediatior in situations, but he was going to try.
And just hope he didn't get soaked.

Perch who had been sitting in a far corner of the room resting didn't notice that people had come in the room. she heard people talking but didn't bother to look and see who it was.

SlingShot smiled back, because she had never seen the Manhatten leader quite like this. She was admittadly releived. For a ridiculous moment, she thought this may have had something to do with her finding Davey in Brooklyn. Except that was dumb, because she had let him go. "Jack.... I havn't really seen Spot but... What happened??"

Alley walked downstairs in better spirits. Actually it was only cause she had woken up and said it was going to be a good day and what not. She stopped dead in her tracks. "Hiya umm Jack, Slingshot." She was surprised to find Jack in Brooklyn. She hoped that there wouldn't be a fight.

Jack groaned inwardly. He wanted to talk to Spot alone, not with a gaggle of Brooks kids hanging about. Slingshot, he could handle, but that Alley girl had tried to meddle once, and he hadn't appreciated it. He couldn't do anything this time, for he was on her turff, but he wasn't about to talk to Spot with her around.
Remembering Slingshot's question, he shrugged. "It's a long story. Suffice to say, Spot was kept in the dark about a couple things."
And so was I...

SlingShot loooked over as Spot entered the room. She saw his hands go into fists, and knew that this was not going to be a simple conversation.

Jack looked at Spot and straighted up to his full height, showing no weakness. "Spot. We need to talk." His face betrayed no emotion. "...I came to apologize."
Let me tell you, Pride doesn't taste very good as it's swollowed.

Spot looked around and saw all of the Brooklyn newsies standing around gawking at Jack's apoligy. Spot felt a twinge of sympathy for Jack.. "Lets move this conversation into my room." Spot said, without feeling.
(..follow to spots room..)

Alley looked at Slingshot and gave a 'i hope everything works out look.' She knew Jack didn't like her much and well she guessed that's what she got for asking him things. She watched the two boys.

SlingShot, feeling horrible, wished she could come in, but figured she shouldn't... She would talk to Jack or Spot about it later..

Perch looked up as spot came in. She took a deep breath and then let it out a minute or two later when she saw a fight wasn't going to happen. She was surprised at jacks apoligy. She watched them get up and walk away. She got up and walked over to the group of people who were standing close enough to hear what had happened. "What jest happened?" she asked curiously.

Alley was lost in thought and jumped as Perch spoke. "Jack just apologized for somethin'." That was really all she could gather from it and she supposed she ought to leave it with that and not ask questions after everything was done. It didn't seem she was getting a very good reputation with the Manhattan leader for asking questions and it was just better not to ask Spot. She's figure out things sooner or later. She smiled at Perch and headed out of the lodgin house and down the streets heading towards Queens.
