"Not unless they had a good reason." Ace commented from his seat, "Get off your high-horse, Jacky. Your bois are no different then anyone elses. They can be persuaded just like anyone else..."
He raised his eyebrow and his voice was cold, "Or maybe...dey were just following orders. They are good at dat, aint they, Jack?"

"What the hell do you mean by that?" Jack asked, his hands forming fists under the table. "You think I had something do do with this?"
This was insane. Jack just wanted to stand up and leave, but he knew it would look bad.

"Actually." Ace met his gaze with a stern look, "Dat's exactly what im sayin. We havta look at it from every angle, dont we?"
He knew Jack wouldn't leave. He couldnt do that.

"Then tell me," Jack said, a look of spite on his face, "If you think you know so much, why would I do something like that, huh?"

He shrugged, as if it didn't really matter. "Why did you turn scabbah durin the strike? You said it yourself, bout da power. Right now, you dont have it." He leaned forward a bit in his chair, "You were all the rage aftah da strike, but suddenly, Spot is right back up top, and you...you're left ta bein the Manhattan leadah again. I think you're jealous, Jack."

"Stop right dere," Prince said stopping Ace. "What's your excuse? How do we know dat you ain't called ya own newsies out ta Brooklyn and had da kid killed? Think about it Ace... the thought of dat is crazy... you're crazy," she said, though she'd said the last part there by accident. But... she continued anyway, "Lookin' at it from every single angle, you're left wit'out an alabi too," she said with a glare.

Ace's face went beet red in a split second. "Excuse me?" He said with a glare, getting up slowly from his seat, hands clenched. "I, missy, have an alabi. I was with Red, you sorry excuse foah a leadah," he hadn't meant to sat that, didnt even think it was true, but too late to take it back now, "and you just TRY and pin dis on HIM!"
He snorted coldly, "Oh right, he's not here to protect himself. Your favorite way to fight, aint it, Princess?"

"If it wasn't for me there wouldn't even be a strike!" Jack nearly yelled, glaring across the table. "This ain't got nothing to do with Queens. And everyone knows Brooklyn's no more powerful than Manhattan. I'd think that if anyone would be jelous, it'd be another borough. The Bronx, maybe?"

Prince's own fists clenched in rage, but she tried really hard to keep herself calm. "So you an' Red were together... yeah... ya took a walk in Manhattan. I'm sure killin' da poor kid seemed like a good idear at da time. Bet cha whishin' ya thought diff'rent now!" she said angrily back at Ace, the angry look returning to her face.

"How dare you." He snarled, voice dropping a few octaves. "How dare you even say dat."
If she hadn't been a girl, the fight would already have been on.

"How dare I?" Prince's eyes were full of rage. Everything she hated was put into her heart all at once, and she thought about all of it. Her past forgotten, and all anger she had she channelled. "Youse some rich kid playin' in da streets. Throwin' ya money around as it if ain't nothin'. Den ya go, an' bump off someone who got less den you do! Da real question is, how dare YOU?"

Ace's mind went numb, and he felt his mouth fall open in shock. He had worked so hard to get rid of the 'rich kid' title- including denouncing his parents and everything that went with being a Cardoni.
And here..this little girl dared to accuse him of all this?!
He hardly realized he had leapt the table until he slammed his fist across her face, all his anger and rage behind it.

Prince flew backwards and brought her hand to her face, her head throbbing. She looked at Ace in absolute shock. Her hat had managed to stay on her head however some of the hair had fallen out, so she quickly tucked it back inside, and looked at him. "What... ya gonna kill me now too?" she said as she stood up and looked at him angrily. She couldn't believe he'd just done that.

He stared at her, his hands trembling in rage. He couldn't believe he had just hit a girl, but it was too late to take it back, and honestly, she deserved it. She had crossed that fine line.
"I dont kill people, unlike you two." He snarled, "I prefer letting them live, and making their life a living hell." That sure sounded like a threat.

"Shut up!" Jack bellowed, knocking his chair out of the way as he stood in front of Prince, blocking Ace's way.
"Both of you just shut the hell up!" He yelled. "You wanna figure this out or not?"
