"So true." She agreed, looking down into the water with raised eyebrows.
"D'you know of anyone named 'Nick Young'?" Cheater questioned suddenly, her eyes still fixed on the water.

"Is he like... bad... at all?" Cheater turned her head to look at Alley. If he was, in fact, bad, then... she might not want to be working for him...

Ace, on his way to the leader meeting, looked over at Cheater, in time to hear her question. Biting at his lip, he paused. She was his kid, his responsibility. "Cheats....Can i speak to you for a second?"

Cheater raised her eyebrows at Ace. "Sure," she replied, walking over to him, still looking confused. "What's wrong?"

"I need you to listen to me..." He was looking uncharacteristically serious, unlike him. "This raconteur business is not what you think. Im not going to tell you to join or not to join, because in the end, im not your father, im your friend, and im your leader. But im going to ask you to wait. Nick broke apart a friend of mine, Cheater, and i dont want to see the same happen to you." He took a deep breath, "if you decide to not go through with it, please, do NOT mention my name to Nick." He looked at her seriously, "If you do....I can promise you i wont be alive the next day."

She stared at him, eyes huge and her mouth open. Nick and his friends would do something like that?!
Now, she regretted everything.
"I won't tell him your name, I promise," Cheater stated. "Um... d'you know if... it's possible to... quit... once you've gotten in?"

"I dont know, Cheats...I haven't tried." He looked at her sadly for a moment, before shaking his head, "They took Arianette from Queens, they took Red from Brooklyn....And i dont know who else." He held up a finger, "I want you to watch the Bronx for me...Can you do that?"

"Watch the Bronx?" She questioned, wondering why he wasn't able to watch it, but not asking.
"Of course I will, but... what should I be watching for?"

"Anything out of the ordinary....maybe keep some kids from following the raconteurs. Anything." He took a look around and flashed her a small smile. "...Thank you, Cheats....i dont know when i'll see you again." He gave her a quick hug and dissapeared down the road.

Cheater tried to smile, but couldn't. How was she supposed to take care of the Bronx? Taking care of things wasn't something she was very good at.
"But Ace..." She began, wanting to ask him a million questions. But he was already walking away.
Turning to Alley Cat, she gave her an apologetic smile. "Gotta run."
And off she hurried to the Bronx.

Alley watched this take place. She was second thinking now but not that much. If she had truely been her shouldn't wouldn't have joined them, but she was a pickpocket and when theirs someone bigger then you you have no choice. She'd revoked her job as a newsie when she was kicked out of Brooklyn. Pickpocketing the Racounteurs that was all she had save of course for Jackle, Dusty, Fancy, and Ramble. She walked into the Bronx that having been where she wanted to go in the first place.

<<new day>>
Peem sat on the edge of the bridge, just looking out on the water. It was peaceful here. Here, he could imagine that everything was right with the world. It's what he needed right now.

Smokes was on her way back from Brooklyn when she saw Peem sitting on the bridge. He seemed to be very peacefull and she didn't wanna bother him. She walked up to him slowly, not sitting incase he wanted to be alone. "How you doin?"

Peem smirked a bit, Smokes breaking him from his rusing. "...I'm just fine, Smokes...you?" He laughed softly. "Not runnin' away from me family just that quick, are ya?" He knew it was something that one had to get used to.
