(A.N. I STILL FEEL SO BAD ABOUT MAKING Y'ALL WAIT FOR FOREVER!!!! Its been pure madness.
But on the bright side, ANDREW KEENEN-BOLGER LIKED AN INSTAGRAM POST I TAGGED HIM IN!!!!😆😆😆!!!! *takes deep breath* I'm still pinching myself to see if I'm dreaming. So far, I'm not. Anyways, this is kinda a quick short chapter that I have to thank Katherine___Plumber for helping me figure out what to do. It really moved my story along and actually aided in connecting where I was to a major plot point. So, thanks again Doll! Now, without further a due, Chapter 17!)

Spot walked to Katherine's room. He knocked on the door and heard her tell him to enter.

After closing the door behind him, he stepped over to a shelf with pillows and blankets. Taking one of each, he made himself a bed on the floor next to Katherine's bed.

"Spot, what are you doing?" Katherine asked as Spot took his place in his area on the floor.

"Goin' to sleep. What's it look like?"

Katherine let out a laugh. "I can see that. What I meant was what are you doing sleeping on the floor? The boys have extra beds upstairs. I'm sure they'd give you one if you just ask."

Spot sat up and look Katherine directly I'm the eyes.

"Kath, you were just kidnapped, held hostage, rescued by strangers with powers, and cut off from your family. There's no way I'm leaving you alone, especially at night. Beside, we both know that I've slept in worse places. Now if this interview is done, I'd like to get some shut eye."

Spot laid his head on his pillow and pull his blanket up to his chin.

Katherine too got into her bed and tugged at her covers. Tiger Lily hopped up on Katherine's bed and curled up beside her.

Within a few minutes, all three were sleeping soundly.

Meanwhile...

"Come on. The back window is this way." Oscar whispered sharply.

"But we're supposed to go up the fire escape!" Morris whispered back.

The brothers started bickering and didn't notice their boss walking up behind them.

"Will you two idiots quit arguing! I said "the back door near the fire escape."" Snyder hissed. The brothers silenced and followed their boss.

Snyder found the back door and picked its lock with ease. The three entered and quietly crept inside.

The building seemed lonely and sad without people rushing around.

"Now you two nitwits, let's grab what we came for and get out." Snyder ordered.

"I couldn't agree more." Another voice piped up from somewhere close to them.

With the flick of a switch, the whole room was filled with blinding light.

The three turned towards the owner of the voice.

Oscar and Morris quaked where they stood. Snyder glared at them, then turned his attention back to the newcomer.

"Although, I was talking about that last bit." They finished.

"Medda. Bit late for a rehearsal, don't you think?" Snyder jabed, glaring daggers at her.

"Snyder. Bit late to break into my theater with your moronic goons, don't you think?" Medda mocked, grinning wildly.

Snyder grumbled angrily.

"If I may ask, what are you three buffoons doing here?" Questioned Medda.

"Oh, we were just in the neighborhood and thought we'd stop by, have a chat, maybe see if one of those pathetic Newsies was here." Snyder sneered.

Medda took a few steps forward. "Really? Here I was, thinking you were here to hear little old me sing. Oh well, a girl can hope." A fake look of shock flashed over Medda's face before her intrepid expression returned.

"Now I'll ask you again, leave. Or it won't be pretty. I know you nincompoops are here to find a secret or hidden entrance into the boys' home. Well you can forget it. The only thing between you and them is me. And honey," She got in Snyder's face. "you don't want to tick me off." Medda warned in a calm and threatening voice.

That was when Snyder started getting scared. "Fine, we'll go. But mark my words, you won't be able to protect those rats forever!"

Medda felt a twinge of anger at that threat. She held up her hand and snapped her fingers together.

There was a flash of white light. Before they knew what happened, Snyder and the Delancys were standing in the middle of Central Park.

Snyder let out a furious shout. "Those boys have messed with my plans for the last time! I will get my revenge on Kelly, even if I have to tear New York apart to do it. He hasn't seen anything yet..."
