Ace walked across the grass, his hands in his pockets and hat pulled low. He supposed it wouldn't matter if he was walking in Hattan now that he had pulled the Bronx out, but it still was a little weird, and he had a hard time believing he had actually done it.

Drifter hadn't stopped running since she left the lodging house. She was paniced beyond belief and had to find Danny, NOW. She ducked into the park, hoping she would lose Prince along the way. Halfway through she couldn't believe what she saw.
"Danny!" Drifter shouted as she through herself at the boy, huggin him tight, "I don't know how, but he's heah."

"WHA-" He staggered, hugging her back. He started to say 'who' but stopped himself. His eyes widened, realizing there was only one person who would make her do this. "L...Leone...?" He whispered, voice trembling.

Ace was shocked Prince could tell. She had been able to follow Drifter all the way too Manhattan, though had almost lost her more than once. Her hair in her hat again she said, "He's known for quite some time where Ace was... just trying to be sneaky about it."

"About what?" she asked Drifter. "Why was ya in Brooklyn anyway?" Prince said. She'd take an answer from Ace, or Drifter. As if this question was any of her business, but if it had to do with the war she'd want to know anyway. After all, she had information about that very subject, thanks to Blink.

Ace, in a sort of daze, turned his head toward her, somehow not surprised she was there. He licked his dry lips. "I pulled da Bronx outta da war." He murmurred. "I've been feeling uneasy, and didn't want my kids hurt."

Prince looked at him. "And you survived?" she made reference to the fact that Spot would have killed him. She smiled however. This was great! It would only help... well... she hoped. "Look, I'se need ta talk with youse sometime soon, alright? Found out somethin' that might be important wit' da war."

"Surprisingly...Im amazing i walked out."
He raised an eyebrow. "Ya did? It is good news?" He needed good news. Badly. He wasn't sure if he could handle anymore bad news, not after Leone.

"Oh yeah, really good news. Well... if ya don't count the fact that Blink now has a near busted shoulder, but... I dunno... might be worth it..." she said with a shrug. After all, with this info, if used correctly, it could end the war all on it's own practically. She smiled and folded her arms, very satisfyed with herself.

"He does?" He said in a soft faraway voice. "What happened? No, wait, let me guess...something to do with a Delancey, right? He cant stay out of trouble for a moment, can he?" Ace sat down on the grass, staring off across the park.

"Yeah, but it's that very Delancey that told us what we needed to know," she said. "Morris let somethin' slip that might end dis... or at least I sure hope so." She was tired of this war, and so were the newsies. She wanted it over... as soon as possible!

"What did he say?" He asked, looking up at her. He was so tired, tired of everything. "I want this war over with as soon as possible. Tell me."
