Sick&Tired(BLADE)

[Ryder]

He had just gotten through spending half the day with Love, boy did that girl know how to urk Ryder in the all the wrong and all the right places. She was a newsie alright, but a newsie that happened to be his accomplice simply due to her past in the mafia family line. He had taken her to a drink to end his night out and when she had become sloshed enough he took her to the front steps of the Manhattan lodging house before he headed home before any of the kids could see him and get suspicious. He drug his feet up the stairs of the apartment building and when he reached his door, he wondered if Blade would be home or out doing business. He opened the door and headed straight for the fridge as usual as he took off his fedora and tossed it onto the couch.

"Blade ya heah?" he hollerred as he grabbed a beer from the fridge and popped it open. He headed to the couch, plopped down and put propped his feet on the coffee table as he took a much needed swig of his beer. He didn't understand how a pretty girl like Love could be so complicated sometimes... but shit it was New York and the girls here were a toss up ya never knew what you would get with one, they liked to switch up on you and Love liked to do that alot. He closed his eyes and tilted his head back against the couch abit as he drank some more of his beer, if Blade didn't answer his holler then the boy was probably out attempting to flirt or handling some thief business, hopefully if the boy was out, it would be the latter of the two because Ryder hated dealing with the dumb females Blade tended to attract.

"Well deah tonight could be your lucky night, you's could come home wit meh and cuddle." Blade said finishing his tenth shot of the night. He looked over at the girl that now had a look of discuss on her face. Blade shrugged as he shook his head. "I's offahed toots." Blade said as he looked to the bar tender at Tibby's He begin go talk too much as many other situations he would. He looked to the bar tender who took his glass as he dropped another quarter on the table. "A Beeh, and I don't under stand these goils dese days I's mean I's buy them drink all night and get used. Who cares if I's wanted to do more then cuddle dey don't have to know dat do dey?" Blade said as he watched the girl giggle and bring over his beer. "You's just need some bettah pick up lines Blade your sweet just a little..foreword." Blade smiled as he took a sip looking at the girl he knew what she meant but he dare not let some girl understand or predict him in anyway. "I's know what I's doin' dese goils just can't handle meh, I's mean can you blame em?" Blade smiled cocky as he chugged his final sip and put another quarter on the bar. "Thanks Miss." He said sweetly as he tipped her and stumbled out the bar.

Blade walked outside zipping his coat when he noticed a group of boys standing by the girl he was attempting to get with. Blade shook his head and mumbled "Son of a bitch." The boy walked over to the group seeing he had no fear and that was the way he did have to get to point place. He could hear it talk of some kid saying that was his girl as he felt a shoulder on his hand. Blade was too drunk to walk let alone fight or pull out his knife. He was spun around and caught a vicious south paw to the face and then lights out.

It must have been a good ten minutes he sat there looking up with nothing in his mind. Blade sat up as he felt light headed watching the blood gush from his nose and mouth. The boy stood up and stumbled home. He was not so sure if he wanted to see Ryder as this moment in time as he made his way up to his apartment looking in the fridge there was no more boozes. "You's Shitin meh." Blade said as he walked to Ryder apartment knocking then entering still blood on his face and shirt he walked over to the couch. "Ry I's need a beeh now." Blade said his eyes a little widened and angry.

[Ryder]

Ryder looked up when the door swung open and the boy was cursing abit and demanding a beer. He got up from his comfy spot on the couch and handed Blade his barely touched beer as he looked the boy over,"What da hell happened to ya? Ya didn't fuck wit none of dose Brooklyn goils did ya? I warned ya bout dem," he said as he sighed and went over to the kitchen grabbing a towel from a drawer and tossing it to Blade,"Put that oveh yer nose and apply pressure... sheesh," he sighed as he grabbed Blade under the arms and lifted him into the nearest chair. "Tell meh what happened..." he groaned, it was one thing for him to put his hands on Blade, or even Hysteria maybe Love every so often when the damn kid said somethin stupid, but that was it... unless of course it was a Brooklyn kid cause he warned Blade bout them. He sat back down in his spot and leaned forward resting his elbows on his knees,"I aint vereh happy bout dis," he growled.

[Blade]

The beer was given to him as he took a big chug of it watching Ryder walk to the kitchen he came back with towel. Blade took it and held it over his nose it hurt a little as he applied pressure and looked up. Balde waited a moment before he spoke, he would keep it 100 with Ryder. "I's payed for dis goils drinks all night I's did and then when I's ask her to come home she looking at me like I had two heads. I's was drunk!" Blade admitted as he dabbed his lip and took another sip from the beer. "Den aftah she let me I's had another beeh and den when I's walked outside I did what you always taught me never hold fear. I's walked right up to them and BAM." I's woke up and dis." Blade explained as he took the final sip from the beer dabbing his lip again. Thinking of what he boys looked like."Surprizingly dey was Jack Kelly's boys I sweah dey been out of line witout Jack I's show dem dey place when I aint drunk!" Blade said with a little anger thinking about his perfect face. Blade looked down for a minture when would he show them he was always drunk.

[Ryder]

He scowled as he listened and thought long and hard racking his brain, the Hattans were usually harmless, but he knew Jack Kelley hadn't been around for a little while and he had that blond girl Ace watching things. He looked at Blade,"What did the girl look like?" he demanded, he knew if it had been Ace though she woulda popped Blade herself without bringing in others.... and it couldn't have been Love unless she was playing dirty now. He racked his brain for a long moment and wondered if it was the hoity toity girl he'd seen Racetrack with lately, she'd be likely to give a smug look, let a boy buy her things and then blow him off because she had Race at her side... it was very possible. He growled abit in his thoughts as he snatched the towel from Blade and threw it across the room,"Go ta da sink and wash the blood off yer face would ya?" he groaned as he looked at the boy.

He shook his head, they had no idea what was going to happen to them, no idea at all and boy would they regret it. He looked over watching him go to the sink as he grabbed the bottle of whiskey from the table and took a long swig,"Dey have no idea what dey got comin to em, but you, you stay away from groups of guys wit dem goils you toy wit ya heah meh? I don't need ya messin wit what I'm gonna do..." he warned as he thought long and hard, he had to organize, plan and scheme... and he had to get his crew on board with him.

[Blade]

Blade saw Ryder get angry and the boy jumped a little as he stood up walking over to the sink. He had to remember what this girl looked like as he turned the water on warm washing off his face he watched as the blood washed down into the white sink. Blade let out a sigh as he turned the water off picking up the towel and drying his face he walked over to the mirror getting angry as his nose was a little swollen and his lip was fat his face was a little bruised under his eye as he walked over to the fridge getting out two beers, popping the tops and walked over to Ryder handing him on as he took a sip himself. Now the thought blade skimmed his memory as he smiled.

"She had brown curly locks, and was weahing a dress dat looked quite preppy. Her voice was sweet and her tone, an English accent." Blade confessed as he couldn't remember her name at this time he took a seat and agreed with Ryder he wouldn't touch them, he'd let Ry and Dodge handle the rest of the job. Blade sat down and raised his eyebrow as he took a chug. "What you's have in mind Ry?" Blade questioned as he stood up reaching into his pocket pulling out a diamond necklace, a gold rope chain, two gold bands and some dollars. He smirked. "At least dey didn't rob meh, Dat's da catch for da day." Blade said putting his feet up on the table leaning back.

[Ryder]

Ryder smirked at his description, Harlequinn... and boy did he have plans for her now. He tilted his head back as he grabbed the beer from Blade and propped his feet up on the coffee table,"You'll see... I gotta get everyone together though, send some letters out, get some more of my crew over here, if the newsies want a fight, we'll give them hell dontchu worry..."

[/i] he said, an evil glaze in his eyes and smirk planted on his lips. He'd make a list, a list of those he knew of importance to leaders, a list of those important to anyone associated with the leaders... a list of untouchable newsies until further notice and a list of bait, he knew what he was doing and he knew that the newsies would have a hard time fighting back, he'd have to send out for Love, send out for his little asian con artist girl and possibly a few others... he'd have to send Shadow out to get more information on his targets and Dodger out to cause some trouble, but he already had the plans in his head and they were coming quick. He glanced at Blade,"You should get some sleep, ice dat eye and be readeh fer a meeting of the finest tomorrow night," he said as he stood up, finished his beer and grabbed his jacket from the coat rack,"I'll be back later, I got business to take care of,"[/i] he said as he looked at Blade and nodded before heading out the door.[/center]
