As Lucky reentered the Lodging House she saw Justin sitting on a bed in the corner. She frowned, couldn't he even try she wondered. "So who's winning?" she walked up to the table.
"Who do ya think?" Race asked giving Hades an evil glare.
Hades smiled wickedly, "Lookie here boys, four kings! What does that get me?"
"Why don't you play Lucky?" Dave asked scooting his chair over so she could sit next to him.
"Nah, you boys worked hard for that money. I wouldn't want to come in here and take it all away." She laughed.
"Why do they call you Lucky?" Justin asked from directly behind her, scaring her out of her wits. She hated it when he did that.
"It's just a nick name. Spot gave it to me" Lucky smiled remembering the first day she had met the arrogant leader of Brooklyn.
"Oh." Justin gave Spot his best glare. He didn't like his precious fiancé roughhousing with these ruffians.
After a few more hands Jack handed the cards to Mush, "Why don't you deal me and Spot out this time Mush. Come on Spot before Hades takes all our money." Spot got up and walked with Jack over to where Lucky and Justin were sitting. The two boys sat across from the couple. "I think Hades wanted to talk with you Lucky." Jack said grinning at her.
"Yeah all right." Lucky said nervously. "Be nice" she muttered under her breath. It was a message meant for all three of the boys.
"So..." Jack tried to figure out how to bring up the subject delicately.
Spot was not worried about social niceties however, "Are you gonna treat Lucky right?"
The question caught Justin off guard. "Of course. She'll have the best money can buy and more."
"So you're loaded?" Spot asked blatantly.
"Well, my family is very wealthy. Yes." Justin didn't know what to make of this conversation.
"Are you gonna hurt her?" Spot glared at him.
"Well I uh, I don't understand. What do you mean?"
"Look pal," Spot said getting right in Justin's face. "That girl over there is one of the best people in this world. If you ever lay a finger on her, if you ever make her cry, I will come after you. Do you understand me?"
"Uh Spot." Jack said from behind him.
Spot sat back on the bed and gave Justin his "leader of Brooklyn" look.
As the three boys commenced their small talk Lucky walked over to the poker game. "Hades can we talk?"
"Yeah sure." Hades followed Lucky onto the fire escape. They stood jus outside the window.
"Hades how are things in Brooklyn really? I mean I've heard the rumors. Are any of them true?"
Hades let out a big sigh. "I don't know this time Lucky. If anything does happen I think we'll be ready though."
Lucky put her head in her hands. "It's really hard to see him again."
"I know Luck" Hades tried to comfort her friend.
"I just, I don't know how he really feels I mean sometimes I think it's the same feelings he had for me when he left and I get scared and then he acts like he doesn't care about me except like a brother ya know. Then I get disappointed. I don't know how I feel about him but whenever I'm near him...It's just not something I've felt before. Hades it almost hurts to be near him sometimes."
Hades knew her two friends were in love, but she couldn't tell Lucky that. Lucky had to find out on her own. "Well what about this Justin guy?"
"Justin...well he's in love with me and he can support me and he has a good family and well..."
Dave stuck his head out the window. "Lucky Peterson, your fiancé is ready to go home."
"Thanks David." She said smiling through the tears that had begun to well up in her eyes.
The two girls reentered the room. "Honey, I'm not quite ready to go yet. Can't we stay just" Justin cut her off in mid plea.
"No dearest we really must be on our way. The Pulitzer's are holding dessert for us you know."
"But I didn't want to go to" Justin cut her off again.
"We are making an appearance I told you that remember." He spoke to her as if she were a child. Lucky quickly stopped protesting. She didn't want her friends to see her being treated this way.
"Well goodbye everyone. I'll come by to visit soon. I promise." Lucky sedately walked out the room.
"What was that all about?" Mush asked aloud.
"I don't know but I didn't like it." Hades said taking a seat next to her boyfriend.
As Lucky sat in the carriage Justin let out another one of his famous, why do you have to make my life so difficult sighs. "I don't want you going over there anymore. I don't want you to speak with those hooligans ever again. And you will not be called Lucky." He stated matter-of-factly as she stepped out of the carriage.
"What?" Lucky asked in shock.
"We will discuss this later. Now you will be a courteous guest to the Pulitzers." And Lucky was courteous because Lucky always was.
