Skittery flared his nostrils after being snapped at by Jack and let out a 'hmph' noise. He sulked for a moment then quietly grumbled "If their joinin' they mus' be gettin' a good kickback..."
Skitts attention turned back to Arabelle and he cocked his head a bit. She approached and now was fleeing which he found a bit strange. He looked back at Hawkeye and shrugged "Guess she ain't lost..or at least ain't saying if she is"

Hawkeye returned Skittery's shrug, "Guess so." She sighed and took another drag on her cigarette, her attention returning to the boys' argument.
"Who's Red?" She asked. She had heard the name before, someone who had something to do with Brooklyn, but didn't know who he was.

Jack glared at Skits but said nothing. If the kid wanted to get himself into deep crap, he wasn't going to stop him. He was tired of trying to stop people. He was about to say something when Hawk spoke. "Red ...is a good friend of Spots, used to be pretty high up in the Brooks laddah if I remembers correctly."

Skittery ignored the glare - it was the usual reaction he got from a lot of poeple when he chose to be difficult. If people didn't like what he had to say or do, then too bad. He nodded as he exhaled, agreeing with Jack's explination of Red and once he finished another deep breath he added "Works at the dock or on a boat or somethin' like that now. Nothin' that makes 'im important enough to bothah kidnappin'."

Hawkeye glanced between the boys again, but thinking better of the situation, ignored the tension between them, figuring they'd do the same--not necessarily true, but in her mind, that was how things worked.
She nodded, "Right. So... why'd they take him then if he ain't important?" She wasn't trying to contradict Skittery, but it was completely possible that it sounded like she was.

Jack raised an eyebrow. "He means somethin' to Spot. And that's enough to keep Spot from directly meddlin' in their business." He rolled his eyes. "Not that it is keepin' Spot from meddlin' indirectly."

Jack had a point, Skittery couldn't deny that so he nodded in agreement. "If they took 'im 'cause hes important to Spot - who they take to keep you quiet Jack?" He was completely serious, Jack was capable of causing just as much uproar as Spot was maybe it wouldn't necessarily be as violent but he could still get in their way. He looked at Hawkeye to see if she had the answer.

Hawkeye nodded and muttered a quiet, "Ah," as Jack explained the Red situation. She took another drag on her cigarette. That would make sense now, wouldn't it.
At the mention of Jack having a er, hostage-type person, she arched an eyebrow. These Raconteur characters seemed to be going a little out of their way to keep people quiet. The way Hawkeye saw it, it was sloppy work. Reasonable, but sloppy. Why make a big deal out of something you don't want a lot of authority figures getting involved in?
She looked to Skittery and shrugged. The first name that came to mind was David, the second being Prince.

Jack shrugged. "...I dunno. The Raconteur here in 'hattan seems a bit." He shook his hand a bit. "...off. Not all upstairs." He paused. "So I doub't they'll take one of 'mine' perse." He chuckled. "And they haven't messed with our kids much...I'm helping for the better of New York Newsies, mostly."

"Being a bit crazy or slow don't mean 'e won't try.." He stopped to allow a stream of smoke flow out of his nostrils, "...take da Delancey's fer example." God knows they cause enough trouble for everyone in the past with the war and all. Skittery was glad to hear know of his friends seemed to be harmed by the Raconteurs though.
"Don't let yerself get a little loose in da head over it Cowboy" Skit tapped his temple for emphasis, "ya can't save da woild yerself." He gave Jack a lopsided smile to show that he was on his side and help out. Sure he was gruff sometime but it didn't mean he did not care.

Hawkeye grinned, blowing out a bit of smoke, "He's right Jack," she eyed Skittery, "And smiling, I wasn't all that sure it was possible," she nudged him in the ribs playfully, "Am I ever gonna get a real answer to my question?" she asked, jumping way back in the conversation, "Why're ya called Skittery?" She pulled her right leg up to rest on the statue, her left still dangling over the side.

Jack smiled, the first genuine one in a while. "Well, thanks then." He laughed at Hawk's question to Skits. "Inquirin' minds want ta know, Skits..."

Skittery's momentary smile disappear immediatly after Hawkeye's question. He snorted at Jack and puffed on his cigarette, not wanting to answer. Finally he turned sharply, eyeing them both "Well I ain't afraid of anythin' if thats what you think!" He was touchy about his name, and everything else for that matter. "I'm a bit unpredictable at times...fickle..whatever ya want to call it...I didn't choose the stupid name either.." He muttered moodily.

(New day)
Thankfully it wasn't that bad a day. Pleasently cold, you could say. Blink brushed a hand through his hair as he led Moira toward the Distribution Center. He hadn't met anyone he knew, which was unusual, but whatever. Smiling back at his companion, he sighed. "I think I might miss gettin up this early."

Moira smiled and yawned. "Ug...I definitely wont." She laughed and stretched. "So...what do I do with these papers besides lie and show my ankle or something?"
