Gambling, smoking, what's not to love?

Nicholas was sitting in the back of the gambling room, talking to his henchmen, Rodger and Dodger. There were many patrons there that time of night, gambling, drinking, smoking cigars, taking in the fine women they had there....basically a dive of sin.
Exactly what Nicholas intended.

Ace, his hands in his poclets, made his way into the room, looking around curiously. He wasn't sure who he was looking for, but he did remember something about a Nicholas. Pulling his cap off his head, he folded it up and stuck it in his back pocket, running a hand through his ebony hair.

Coop came down from the roof, leaving his bag. He walked into the billiard room and smirked. Now this is more like it.
He looked around the room noticing Ace standing about. "Finally decided to come along?" Coop asked from behind him.

Sneaks slipped in right behind Ace, flanking him. The smells and the sounds of the room filled his senses. This was a second home to him. As Coop spoke to Ace, Sneaks slipped in closer to his brother, eyeing the new comer.

Ace smirked a little, giving him a small shrug. "I thought about the offer, and decided who was i to turn it down?" He held his hands out a little, "So i'm here." He looked around, grinning a bit.

Nicholas waved Rodger and Dodger away, and the two goons left for their jobs.
Walking over to the group of three young men, he looked them over.
"Can I help you, two?" He looked over at Coop, and then Ace and Sneaks.
His voice was smooth, both a mixture of calm and tension. His dark eyes gave away nothing.

Ace turned from Coop to survey the newcomer. Without asking he knew where this man stood in the chain, you could tell it at first glance. Ace gave him a small nod, "I was wondering if it were possible for me to get a job here, sir." The new york accent faded away for a moment, leaving him in just the boston.

Nicholas smirked. "...and why do you feel you could be suited for my...crew?" He looked Ace over. "...what were you doing before this? And why do you want to join?" He pulled out a cigarette, lighting it. He took a long drag, watching the other with calculating eyes as the smoke billowed out of his mouth.

Ace thought about his answer for a moment. "Im different. Im not going into this for just the money, or anything like that. Im asking to be in it because its what i want to do. I know what goes on in places like this, im not ignorant, nor am i foolish. I dont hesitate, i take chances, and im loyal to the death. I was high born, to a rich family up in Boston, but i know what it means to get your hands dirty." He gave him an even look, "Im not a pampered rich kid. Just a newsie who wants to move up in the world."

Nicholas smiled. "Oh...apparently you are all those things, and also don't know how to shut up." His eyes flashed. "...If you want to join us...you gotta invest in us." He looked him over. "...and you aren't just a newsie. You are head of Bronx." He smirked. "Left that out, didn't ya?"

Ace grinned wryly, "Indeed i did. But what was a leader if not a pawn first?" He raised an eyebrow and shrugged. "Being a leader doesnt make me what i am. Nor does it change why im here." It did, however, give him influence over those under him.

Nicholas smirked. "Well...if you came in...what could you offer us? Your kids on a plate? Or just you as a worker?" He gestured around. "I can always use more workers..."

"Me as a worker for sure." He looked thoughtful, "My kids on a plate?...Ill see what i can do." He smirked a bit, "A few of them, im pretty sure might have something to contribute."

Murder came down the stairs in her normal, self contained manner, Asher bounding down at her side. Seeing Ace, Coop, Sneaks and Nicholas all together, her eyes flashed.
She slipped in next to Nicholas, an arm sliding around Nicholas' waist, smirking up at him. She looked smugly at Coop for a second, and then over at Ace.
