Manhattan closed the window behind Jack and wedged a rock in it. Shrugging her shoulders she turned her back to the window and leaned against it, blocking the view of the surprised and confused faces in the room.
"It'll take longer for them ta follow ya." pushing herself off the window she climbed up the fire escape and began to eye the different roof tops they could use to make it more difficult to follow them. 'Ya comin Cowboy?"

Jack chuckled. "Lead the way, 'hattan." he smiled. "Glad you caught that drift...sometimes its hard to be the most popular leader in the burroughs." he meant it as a jested, heading for the roof.

"Figured as much, youse kinda had the i'd rather be anywhere else look on ya face. Figured dat me as one out heah was bettah dan bein mobbed by da brood of women in dere." Manhattan shrugged eyes scanning the roof tops, dropping the wet rag away from her eye as she moved to get a better view.
"Not much bettah company" she winked at him only have serious and wincing slightly at the movement of the wink, damn note to self dont wink at cute guys anytime soon atleast not with this eye only half serious."Ise knows dat i can only take so much and i'm not even a leadah or a populah one at dat. Not ta mention i was afraid your face would get stuck like dat. What a shame dat be." she smirked mischievously at him and headed towards the space that went between the buildings grabbed a board and laid it across balancing she walked carefully across it.
"Not dat it would make much difference wit dat mug, im surprised dey want ta talk ta ya at all." dropping down to the other side she waited for him to catch up.

Jack smiled, just enjoying her rambling. It was a good break. Innondated like how he was, he needed some of his saner newsies to give him a bit of a break. "Oi..what happened to your face anyways, 'Hattan?" He slippe ddown to the other side, sitting down on the edge of the roof, not really wanting to travel far.

Manhattan grinned crookedly at jack as she sat down across from him. "Ran into ah door." she said gently touching her swelling eye and blushing. "I ahh... have the small problem of loosin myself in my head as you were bound ta notice from our meetin a little bit ahgo... and well.... The door ta dis heah lodging house decided ta take a bite outah my face."she grinned broadly then winced from the swelling and sharp pain. Shrugging she said "dis is da side affects ta my problem, still gettin use ta dem."

Jack nodded. "Right. Just be more careful." He paused. "And just so ya know..if anyone did hitcha..let me know. Ain't no need to lie or nutin', okay?" He didn;t think she was lying, but he just wanted to confirm that he was there for his kids.

"Aww shucks Kelly i didnt know youse cared" she grinned throwing her sopping wet rag at him. "But who'd want ta hit dis prettah ole face when your ugly mug is obviously da bettah choice." she said getting up on the edge and using her hands to show off her lovely face to the best of its advantage for all to see.

Jack snorted and rolled his eyes, grinning. "Well it's my job, Manhattan. I have to pretend like I care a bit--Is was the joint leader after all. Can't have word getting around that I don't like ya lot."

"Youse means ya dont like me. Dat it was all lies. Kelly ya cut me to da quick." Manhattan clutched her chest like she was stabbed and gasped for air. 'Say it aint so... Say it aint so Jack!!" dropping down like she was dying she laid her head on his lap. "Its cold Jack so cold. Tell the bums downstairs dat dere bums... and tell dem da truth dat ya dont really care beforah its to late for dem too...cough cough and tell me mothah..." Manhattan Gasped for breath and rattled it out "I sees da light jack, only wish i'd been kissed befoah i croaked..." and dramatically Manhattan died, not breathing and still for once in her life she laid on Jacks lap, her eyes closed.

Jack laughed, pushing Manhattan off his lap. "Good god, did Blink suddenly posess ya? I thought only he could pull off dramatics like that!" He looked at her on the ground. "Or should I poke ya with a stick or sumthin' to see if ya really dead?"

"Well if dats da way ya treat every woman that throws herself inta your lap im surprised ya even gots a doll." chuckling she sat up dusted herself off and pulled herself up next to him. "Pokin me wit a stick wouldda hurt to. " She rubbed her side as if he really poked her and pulled a face at him. "Wasnt like i was hurtin you none. Maybe drooled on ya a bit but i was gonna be dead in a bit and den who would i have hurt, nobody, i was gonna feed mothah nature...." she waved at the city before them and went quiet at the sight.

Jack laughed, shaking his head. "Yes yes...do you ever shut up? I feel like we should dub you chatterbox, not 'hattan." He watched the city. "Mother nature doesn't seem to be here much anyways."

"Gets to quiet in my head sometimes. What wit me makin stories up in dere. But when its silent up dere i cant stop talkin, when me mouths not movin its loud as all getup in dere. If dat makes any sense. Its comes in spurts sorry." Manhattan shrugged not caring that she couldnt seem to shut up, but it wasnt really a surprise, everytime a good looking guy was in close vacinity to her she couldnt help it. And now wasnt any different.
"But ya looked like ya needed ta laugh, youse Kelly are wound tighter den, heck i dont know what but i thought ya needed a bit of time ta relax and be at ease. Ya dont have to be a leadah round me. dont rightly need one right now seein as im mostly in me head all the time." she said not meaning any disrespect by it.
Manhattan pursed her lips silent for a full minute and thoughtfully looked at him. Which was pretty long for her right now. " You know what?" she asked/said as if the thought just dawned on her.

Jack smiled and just let her talk, let her ramble on. He didn't mind much. If it made the girl sort her head out, then that was what she had to do--everyone handled themselves in different ways. "And you are right--I need to get away. Heavy the head that wears the crow, eh?" Something David always said.
"What?" He said in response, smiling, putting his hands on his knees.

Manhattan grinned completely knowing what Jack was getting at. She felt sorry for him but at the same time someone had to do it and she respected the hell out of him for it. Leaning forward putting her own hands on his knees and looked him dead in the eye. "I like ya Jack Kelly" She said as if she just decided it that moment, then grinned even more crookedly and nodded more to herself. "I like ya. you're an ok gent. but ya didnt come up wit dat sayin by yourself." she winked at him.
