Spot, in this moment, very much does not look like himself. His back is against the alley wall and he's watching his father with a wary tension born of familiarity, of fear - but he looks round at the boy's exclamation, and so does his father.
"Excuse me, young man?" Hearst looks down his nose at the newcomer "This is between me and my son, run along."
Well, there goes any of Spot's hope of anonymity, he's pretty sure the kid is a newsie and this? This is the kind of gossip that spreads like wildfire. He closes his eyes and drops his head back against the wall behind him, facing down the possibility that the entire house of cards he's built is about to come tumbling down.
