Race shrugged, leaning his face in his hand casually. "'aven't seen her in ages. Maybe she became a racter-whatsit too." Realizing that that was probably the last thing Jack wanted to hear or talk about he cleared his throat awkwardly, adjusting in his seat. "Anyways uh, nice weather today huh?"

As their food turned up, Jack shrugged. "I dunno...never really met her. Only two 'hattan kids that I know of that have joined." He said almost bitterly. The whole Sweets incident still upset him.

Rose put her hand on his shoulder, "'s not your fault, nothin' you can do about it. People are goin' ta do what they want." She smiled at him, hoping to have cheered him up a bit.

Race raised an eyebrow at Jack, now curious. "Two huh?" He grabbed a fry, looking thoughtful as he ate it. He didn't want to ask.. but he really wanted to know. Most newsies were being very wary about talking of the band of thieves. "So that's uh . . who's that now?"

Hawkeye raised her eyebrows. By the way people had been talking about it, she would've expected more than two to have joined up. She took a sip of the water that had been placed in front of her, "How many've joined from the other boroughs?" She figured since Race had asked, she might as well too.

Jack looked over at Rose. "Thanks.." He turned his attentions to the other, his mood getting dark. "Sneaks..but he has valid reasons I suppose...and...Sweets." He didn't know Sweets had left. "...yeah. Chewed me out too..."
He looked at Hawk. "And I don't know about others from the burroughs.."

Crutchy listened quietly for once and was curious about what was going on. But he had his own plan in mind and he knew Gimmick would help him. They just had to wait for the right time. ANd Jack couldn't know. He would never understand.

Jack raised an eyebrow. "...She is?" His face betrayed nothing, but inside he was more upset than before. So Sweets got out, and then went to Queens. Guess he really had screwed up with her. "Well...glad she's out or something."
He smiled half heartedly at Race. "Thanks...sure your not tempted by their gambling halls?" He laughed a bit.

"You kiddin'?" he asked grinning, "Those guys are pry professionals," his mouth curled into a cocky smirk. "At least when I play you I know it's a shore thing. . "

"Hey, speaking of sure things," Hawkeye piped up, "Guess who helped Race here pick out lucky number seven?" She smirked. She hadn't taken away all of his glory of winning, just some, "Picked out the winner before that too," she added proudly, "Unfortunately for him, he didn't believe me." She nodded toward Race, still smirking. Now she was just boasting.

Rose turned to Hawkeye and smirked, "When are guys gonna learn that we're always right?"
She put her elbow on the table, resting her head in her hand and looking over at Race, "See Race, ya listen to Hawk and maybe next time you'll win big," she laughed. Her smile slowly began to fade... she just hasn't been herself lately.

"Always right?"Crutchy finally spoke up, grinning from ear to ear. He actually liked talking to Rose. She seemed like a good friend. "When does that ever happen?"

Race rolled his eyes at the girls, but his smirk remained. "Hey, I didn't need any help, I won this heah all on my own," he said, patting his chest pocket. "Jist cause Hawk happened ta pick the same horse I was gonna pick... it means nothin'!" he said, wiping the air in front of him as if to clear the idea away.

Hawkeye smirked back at Rose, glad to have another girl around to help back her argument out.
She scowled as Race responded, "Hey, my assistance was asked for, buddy. You were planning on picking number one, I'm pretty sure." She leaned back in her chair and narrowed her eyes, sending him a playful glare. Her lips slowly curled into a smirk as she said, "You're just jealous." She wasn't sure if Race remembered that particular part of their conversation back at the tracks, but figured the phrase worked either way.
