Sneaks groaned. "Horrible. Keeps getting gross." He smirked and pointed at the nose. "How is that? Canya still breathe?" He ruffled his hair a bit.

He grinned, ducking away. "I can breathe just fine, thank you." He was glad this part of the war was over, and they could joke like this, but the rest wasn't over yet. "Prince and I have found out, possibly, who was really responsible for Spike as well."

Sneaks stopped shuffling his cards for a moment, then started up again. "...who? I bet it wasn't a newsie.."

"Was from Hattan though." He pointed out, pausing to wonder why he was even talking about this when they didn't know for sure. Though he could bet anything they were right.

Sneaks nodded. "I'll bite. Who?" He pulled his shirt back on, coming his hair a bit with his fingers. "Oh--and I didn't say earlier. But glad you are out of the war. Got some smarts on you. I never could say that before. Ya earned my respect."

Ace looked at him, a serious look on his face. "You earned my respect the first time we met, and my trust, believe it or not. Even after you flattened me that first time." He smiled, "And to answer your question, the Delanceys. Who else would be stupid enough? But Prince, Blink and I figured they didn't do it alone. They've been backed by someone...two someones probably."

Firecracker cocked an eyebrow at the conversation, deciding to remain quiet. Yes, it was amazing to even her that she was managing to do it. However, she had a feeling that the conversation was turning more serious, and didn't want to break into it and ruin it. Instead, she sat back silently, listening with interest. Though she had never known Spike, she knew the war had started over his death. Perhaps, with luck, whatever the Bronx boy was telling them now was the solution. Her face hardened for a second, she shook the thoughts away. The newsie, though she may not act like it, had learned the hard way that such a situation was hardly ended like that.
"Da Delanceys?" she muttered, more to herself then to the others. "Dey wouldn't murder witout reason...or a hatred...dey must've been bought into it. Which means dose somebodies 'ave a lot 'a money..or enough ta waste, anyway."

Sneaks nodded. "Same on trust Ace. I have your back..now that we are one the same side. No hard feelings." He thought. "I always said it wasn't a newsie...but what can we do? Cops are always an option, as ill that sounds."

He shook his head, "No. Although it may yet come to that, and if it does, i know two cops who have the trust and respect of Red from Brooklyn. If we need to, they are only a call away."
He shook his head. "I hope we dont have to resort to that, we might be able to settle this ourselves." An idle hope, but one nonetheless. And, he needed to ask a favor. "You have my back...so you say. So if i need you, i can count on you?" He moved his footing slightly.

Sneaks nodded. "Ask any of my friends. If I say I have your back, if I say you are my friend, I will be wherever you need me, regardless danger to myself. My loyalty, unlike everything else about myself, is unquestionable."

Ace nodded, "That's good to hear, because i might need you to stand by me yet. I have found myself...in a small tight spot even a leader cant get out of." Against his brother.

Sneaks stopped shuffling his cards and placed them in his pocket. "I'm listening. Tell."

"Not here." He turned his head, "We need somewhere at least a little more private." He turned to the others there and smiled, apologizing.

Sneaks nodded and tossed a card to Firecracker. "Adeu." He touched a couple locks of hair on his head and gestured at Ace. "Follow me."

Ace gave a wave toward the others and smiled, following after Sneaks. He had no idea where he was going, but he was going anyway. He didn't like people to know...But Sneaks was a good person to know. And he could help.
