He plucked a strand of grass and twirled it between his fingers. His head was spinning, but he needed to get this awful pressure of his chest. "I..dont think Jack had anything to do with Spike. I think...no, i know, that no newsie would do that. But...The Bronx has been so sucked into this...i cant get us out."

Drifter looked slightly alarmed, "Yoah saying that you got this burrough invovled in a wah you don't even believe in anymoeh? That's heavy. Why can't you just talk to Spot about it?"

"You dont get it...what went on between the leader's that day..." He shook his head, "we all believe in it, strongly. But there...something tells me we're wrong...and i have always trusted my feelings before."
He looked over at her, alarmed. "Talk to Spot? Are you kidding me? This is betrayal, Roisin. He'd have me killed, friend or no."

Drifter looked down at the grass, not really sure what to say. She had never been in this situation before, she didn't think that Ace had either.
"I dunno what to tell you Danny. You can't spect yoah burrought to fight a wah you don't want to fight. It's not faih to them. It's yoah burrough, not Spot's."

"Do you really want me to leave my burrough without a leader?" He asked softly. "He would kill me, and throw my body into the rivah. Im not strong enough to take out Spot, and the Bronx is definately not strong enough to take on Brooklyn." That was the first time he had ever said something like that about his kids.

"How can you side with somone like that," Drifter asked quietly, "If you know he would do that, why not side with 'Hatten and Queens to begin with?"

"In the beginning...it made sense, Spot and I were working together. But....i dunno, it just seems different now. And...Prince and I are not getting along." He muttered that last part darkly. "I am not a rich boy playing on the streets."
There was one way to push his buttons, and that was it.

Drifter leaned over and gave her friend a hug, "No, no yoah not, and anyone who really knows you, knows that. You nevah fit in with that type, if anyone knows this it's me."

He shook his head, "I can change my name, my look, but i'll never really be able to leave it behind. I'm always going to be Daniel Cardoni- rich kid."

Drifter snorted, "Anyone who says that doesn't know who theah talking about and you know it. Did Prince say that?"

He shrugged, and that could mean everything and nothing. "Does it matter?"

"Yes it mattahs! He's just saying that sorta thing because he knows it'll upset you. And since youse at wah with him, it makes sense that he'd want to rile you up," she exclaimed.

"Prince doesn't have to say it, its what i know." He pulled up another blade of grass. "I cant change who i am, Rois. No matter what i do or dont do."

"You take that back, if you really was that way you wouldn't be heah now, and youse certainly wouldn't have been my friend back then." Drifter was frustrated and unsure how to make Ace see what he was saying was wrong. She was just getting all emotional and that wasn't going to do any good.

He looked over at her, "Im sorry." He murmurred, "Sometimes i forget who im talking to. You're right, i doubt i'd be heah if i was still that rich kid."
