Jack smirked. "...you're a newsie. Don't tell him." He looked down at the smaller one.
"'ome on now..you should know that by now." He laughed softly and ruffled her hair. "..and Spot can keep fighting and blowing his tiny horn..but he is gonna get tired of it."

Jack smiled. "I think most the kids are, Slingshot. " He leaned against a building, pulling out a cigarette and lighting it, taking a few short puffs. "Would you like one?"

Alley Cat wondered onto eighth avenue thinking nothing of how much trouble she could get in when any Mahattan newsie she meet up with. She didn't really care actually. Her loyalties did lie with Brooklyn but that was mostly because of where she had been born and been raised. Otherwise she was on no side. She was a nomand wandering from place to place yet always sticking close to Brooklyn. Today however she needed a breather so she decided to take a walk through Mahattan.
She heard people talking and walked up recognize another Brooklyn newsie surround by some Manhattan newsies. She calmed a bit when she realized that Jack was standing there. She walked closer. "Hiya guys what's going on heah? Is everythin' alright?" She only recognized Jack because she also sold her papes and got them in Manhattan sometimes.

SlingShot nodded to Jack. "Yes please." She turned to the newcomer. She recognized her as a Brooklyn. She wasn't sure what to say. How many Brooklyns were going to be found in Manhatten in one night?

Alley looked over at Slingshot then at Jack. She just smiled it wasn't unlike her to come to these parts. Though she figured Slingshot was wondering about somethin'. "Youse alright" She asked Slingshot.

Racetrack raised an unfriendly eyebrow at the new girl. "An who might you be?" he asked with clear annoyance in his voice.

((somehow I couldnt see these posts. Sorry for being so late))
Jack handed Slingshot a light cigarette and looked at Race. "The kid has been followin' me about." He shrugged. "...I know I'm not bein' as hard as I used to be on trespassers...but I can't just let every Brooks kid come saunterin' through my brrough.."

Race nodded, keeping his look of disdain on the girl. "whatsa mattah? Havin' trouble keepin' track of borders or what? Lemme give ya a tip," he said, smiling sarcastically and leaning in with an arm around her shoulder, pointing with his cigar to the silhouette of the Brooklyn bridge. "Yea see dat bridge? Stop crossin' it."

"Ise don't mean no harm thank you. And i ain't gonna stay on one side or another of a bridge. The names Alley Cat if you really must know. First off I hate fightin'. Secondly if youse don't want me around i'll leave and thirdly i just wanted to make sure everything was okay." Indicating Slingshot. "Honestly whys it gotta be like everyones the enemy." She flicked Race's arm off her shoulder. "And don't touch me!" He was lucky she was expecting something cause if she hadn't been she'd had her blade out and then things could have gotten ugly. She shook her head.

(( Sorry from me as well -- I couldn't see the posts either... ))
SlingShot gratefully took the cigarrette and watched the events. She kept her mouth shut, as she knew she had been lucky that Jack let her off.

((honestly I'm pretty sure this has disappeared or something on the board...ADMIN??))
Jack raised an eyebrow. "...I take care of my own, thank you very much...I don't need no Brooks newsie checking to make sure everything is 'okay'." He used his fingers in quotation signs when he said okay. He wasn't much impressed by this girl.
"...Slingshot, do ya know dis girl?" Slingshot seemed like a good kid. He looked at Racetrack, knowing if he gave the world he would 'escort' the girl back to her side of the bridge.

Alley sighed. "alright." She turned on her heels not wanting one to get hurt or two to piss either Race or Jack off. She figured Slingshot would get back home somehow safe and sound. She walked off heading back towards the bridge.

SlingShot shook her head. She had seen the girl around the lodging house, but didn't know her as a friend. "Jist seen 'er around da lodgin' 'ouse once in a while, but I don' really know 'er."
