Ice climbed back down the fire escape and left Race and Fighter alone
to talk and do whatever they did when they got the rare occasion of being
alone. As Ice climbed back through the window she was surprised to see
Jack standing there with his arms crossed and an impatient expression on
his face. "Hey Jacky, what are you'se standin dere for?"
He smiled sarcastically, "Why Ice dawlin I'se waitin for you'se ta come back down, we'se got introductions to be made and you'se got some explainin ta do."
Ice sighed and followed him downstairs where the other newsies had congregated. Jack yelled for attention and they all turned their gazes to him and Ice, "Alright dis here is Ice Riley and she'll be stayin here, now dat is Skittery, Kid Blink, Red, Dutchy, Specs, Dagger, Mush, Snipes, and Boots."
Everyone of them nodded and Skittery stood up to come closer and introduce himself, "You'se can call me Skitt, all da udder guys are still sellin or at Tibby's. Do you need help sellin tomorrow?"
Ice's mouth twitched into a half smirk, "I tink da bettah question would be do you'se need help sellin tomorrow?"
They guys who had been listening snickered under their breaths and Skittery looked hurt, "Look goil I'se was jist askin cuz you'se new and all."
"Well don't be nice to me, jist cuz I'se new here doesn't mean I'se new to sellin." With that she turned and walked back up to her bunk to sleep for the night. Skittery threw his arms in the air and turned to look at Jack who just had that look on his face that said he had no idea what her problem was. Then Jack frowned remembering that he had to ask Ice why she was here, so he followed her up to the bunkroom. She growled when she saw him, "Don't you'se got anyting bettah to do den snoop around udder people's problems, Kelly?"
Jack's mouth twitched when he realized that for once Ice was just kidding, "Nope, plus I'se got plenty of free time, and jist tons of questions for you'se."
Ice sat down on the bunk and unbuttoned her shirt, when she saw his eyes widen she laughed, "Don't worry Kelly I'se got an under shirt on, so you'se ain't gonna see nutin."
He smiled, "Like I wanna."
"Soire you'se do, everyone does, I'se Ice, da ice princess." She laughed as did he and then she leaned back on one elbow and looked up at him expectantly, when he didn't say anything she frowned. "What'd you come up here for Kelly?"
"I'se got some tinks ta ask you'se, like who'se Tempah?"
"He's me brudder, we ain't tawkin right now," She said scowling.
"Okay, why are you'se in Manhattan?"
"Cause I'se got into an argument wit Tempah."
Jack nodded, "Well I'se won't ask you'se bout you'se past cuz I don't tink you'se would tell me anyway."
Ice smirked, "Nah I wouldn't."
Jack smiled and shook his head, "Didn't tink so, so you'se gonna come back down and play some pokah wit us?"
"Nah I'se tink I'se jist gonna sleep, you'se got no idea how tired I am, been runnin most of da day." Jack raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything and Ice was thankful that he looked over her little slip, "Night Cowboy, I'se will tawk to you'se tomorrow mornin."
"Yeah tomorrow," He headed back down the stairs and Ice kicked off her shoes and climbed under the covers and promptly fell asleep but that gave way to her dreams and she knew that she would never sleep peacefully until the DeFranco brothers were back in jail where they belonged. She dreamnt of her her past and what happened seven years ago that caused Ice and Temper to leave their home and live one the streets.
