Being back for only a few days now and there was already a meeting. He sighed as he ran a hand through his hair and walked through the door,"Who's the kid?" was the first question that slipped out of Jack's mouth as his eyes went from Street to the boy in the corner. Jack wasn't one to trust easily, especially these days, he was lucky though,he was slowly regaining his respect back from Ace and even Poet, he could honestly care less about some of the others whether they respected him or not was their business, but they weren't going to see him leave without a fight and nobody was willing to step up and kick him off of his leader position anyway. He had made one mistake, they all understood and they all accepted it to be so, that was it it was done and over with.
He pulled up his usual chair and sat in it to where the chair was backwards and he leaned his arms over the back of the chair as he eyed Street,"Ya seem flustered doll...ya doin' alright?"he questioned her as he looked her up and down. He knew of Street, he didn't know her very much personally other than seeing her once or twice before he had taken off and come back. He ran his hand through his hair once more and looked down fidgetting slightly, this room reminded him of the refuge abit, the light that hung from the ceiling and rocked back and fourth dimly lighting the room, it was an eery place to be. He tilted his head looking back up at the blond girl wondering how she saw him, wondering what her opinion of him was now after his mistake.
Jack eyed Peep Sickeningly as well and when Hawk walked in, he saw the same look on Hawk's face which verified that he wasn't the only one who found this to be a bad idea. Jack stood and shoved his chair to the side and walked over to Peep and snatched the money from the boy's hand before tossing it back to Street. He then looked over his shoulder at Street and sighed,"Sweetheart, I know yer new, but this is not the way ta get yer answers,"he told her. He looked back at Peep and sized the boy up, they could easily get rid of him there and now if they wanted to. He recalled the information the boy had spouted out without reason at the wedding, and he figured by the looks on the faces of Ryder and Mischief when he had said it, that they hadn't expected the boy to say such things, he was a double crosser and Jack knew it. "The only reason yer here boyo is because of the money right? Or so you ell us, but the second ya get yer money you'll run off to their leader and get paid more by him fer telling him everything ya know about us am I wrong?"he spat as he walked toward the boy, backing Peep up into a corner. "I do not put my newsies' heads on the line for scum like you to mess with, I ain't a fool, and if yer smart you'll answer our questions without the payment because frankly, we could get rid of you right here and now,"he said clenching his hands into fists at his sides,"And jus' so ya know, all my newsies and these leadehs right here already know everything there is ta know about meh so no matter what ya say, nothin's gonna turn them around against meh,"he added.
