Ace was pretty sure that bluffing was one thing Nick did not do on a normal basis, and so he took him at his word. He nodded, "Sure thing, boss." He slid his hands into the pockets of his pants, and regarded the other cooly. "So what now? Obviously you dont believe me, so what? Am i on probation?" He raised an eyebrow slightly.

"More than that," Nick said. He had the power in this situation. "You will not be talking to any one without someone appointed by Nicholas with you." That way they'd be sure he didn't talk anyone out of anything, and would do as he said and only do 'recruting' for them. And if Nick could have had it his way he'd be the one watching Ace on a daily basis. As it was he was in the Bronx, and a bit busy, so that was not an option.

Something flickered through Ace's eyes, but he nodded. "Fine." He slid back into his chair, picking up his pen again. "is that it, or is there something else i need to know about, Nick?" He wasn't being disrespectful by any means, just....curiosily calm.

Nick toook it as an insult however, like he was mocking him. Or that's how he chose to take it. "You behave yourself, or you will find both you and your 'friends' in more trouble than any of you could have ever imagined," he said and with that he turned quickly and headed back towards the door he had came in.

Ace's eyes narrowed a bit after he left, before turning back to his paper, touching his face with one hand. It was already starting to swell, and he knew it'd be bruised later. Nick could hit, he gave him that. Sighing, he rubbed at his face wearily.

Sneaks trudged up the stairs, yawning a bit. It had been a long day, but he was in a good mood. Won some money, had a game with two pretty ladies...can't beat that.
Seeing Ace, he walked over, clapping the other on the back. "...why so glum?"

Ace jumped a bit, startled, because he had been thinking so hard he hadn't heard the other come up. "...Oh..hey. Nuttin." He shook his head, "Just thinkin." He flashed the other a smile, "...On the other hand, it seems you've had a good day."

Sneaks raised an eyebrow. "As good as yours was bad..." He gestured to his face. "Who hit you and why?"

Ace shrugged, knowing that question might come up quite a lot. He could feel it bruising. "Nick. And because i deserved it."

Sneaks sighed. "What did you do, Ace? We are supposed to stay on their good sides..."
He sat down shaking his head. "Gotta play this like cards, Ace."

"I didn't do anything. Cheats did." He pointed out, stretching a bit, "And in case you have forgotten, im okay at cards...at best." Okay, he was a bit better then 'okay' but nowhere near Sneaks. And that was fine with him. "She quit, and i got blamed for it, because she said her friend told her to."

Sneaks sighed. "...great." He looked evenly at Ace. "You know they'll catch her and make her come back..or kill her."
He started shuffling cards. "...who told her?"

"I know that." He murmurred, "Im hoping maybe...she has enough sense to stay away until something happens to tip the tide." He closed his eyes, hands behind his head. "...I did."

Sneaks stood up, his cards going back in his pocket. "....That was stupid as hell, Ace." He ran a hand through his chestnut hair. "We're supposed to be rising in the ranks, but you aren't! Now that you...why the hell did you tell her to quit?

"I didn't." He sighed, knowing the other was going to blow up at him. "I warned her. I owe my kids at least that much. And i know im not...besides, Nick never trusted me in the first place. Dont ask me why. I didn't do anything to the damn bastard."
