"Straight." Race said, fanning his cards before him. "Jack? Jack? What do ya have?"
"What?" Jack asked. "Sorry, I wasn't paying attention."
"Yeah, we noticed." Spot replied. "What do you have?"
"Oh, pair of Eights'." He said. Race smiled triumphantly and scooped up his winnings. Spot and Jack both looked around the room, searching for a person who wasn't there at the moment.
"Has anyone seen me sister?" Spot asked. "Caitlyn, did she leave wit youse?"
"No. She said she had some stuff to do and she'd leave in a bit. But its been more than a bit, more like an hour." Caitlyn said.
"Thanks Showgirl. I might go and get her in a bit if she doesn't show." Spot said.
"Well, well. Look who finally decided to grace us with her presence." Blink said, taking a moment out of the poker game to glance up at the doorway. Everyone looked up.
"Where were you'se?" Spot asked angrily. A dark haired boy came up next to her, put his arms around her shoulders and kissed her. His eyes flashed when he saw whom it was.
"Spot." Rae said, trying to soothe her boyfriend. They had made up from one of the days before.(A/N: That was for you Rae!) The whole room became quiet, as people glanced from Jack to Cecile to Spot.
"Tyrant." Spot said, acknowledging the Queens' leader's presence.
"Spot." Everyone was waiting for who would make the next move. They all knew of the unspoken feud between Spot and Tyrant. It had been around ever since they both became leaders of adjoining boroughs. "Your sister here is nothing like you Conlon." Tyrant said, kissing Cecile again. She smiled and wrapped her hands around his waist.
"Watch it Skinner." Spot sneered, heading towards him, pulling out his gold tipped cane. Rae grabbed him by the suspenders and pulled him next to her. Cecile grabbed Tyrant who was preparing to fight. She whispered something in his ear. He smiled cockily and leaned down to kiss her again.
"Watch what you're doing with my sister." Spot said, his blue-green eyes turning a stormy gray.
"Who's going to make me? You? I think Cecile's a big girl and she can make her own decisions. Isn't that right?" Tyrant asked Cecile, gazing into her eyes. In the meantime, Jack was sitting next to Blink wondering what was happening. Did she not just tell him she would go to the little Newsies rally/party tomorrow night at Medda's. It had been changed from Tibby's to accommodate everyone that was coming. Cecile looked into Spot's eyes, matching his stormy gray ones with her own icy blue ones. She nodded, daring Spot to say anything.
"I can't believe you Cecile. Out of all the eligible men in New York, you pick this one." Spot said, shaking his head with disbelief.
"I was just about to ask Rae here the same question. I've offered her all that you see here, but I don't think she goes for the manly man. I think it's more the sloppy, scrawny leaders type." This time, it was Mush and Specs that had to hold both Spot and Rae back. Cecile leaned up and whispered something into Tyrant's ear as the rest of the lodging house looked on in wonder. He gave her a quick kiss and headed back outside.
"What's da meaning of dis?" Spot asked angrily as soon as Tyrant had stepped over the threshold outside.
"Spot calm down." Jack said, coming up behind him. Cecile looked guiltily in the hurt eyes of Jack.
"Well, you warned me from going out with any guys from Brooklyn or Manhattan, so I chose second best. And I don't settle for second best, I go for the high people, the leaders. Naturally, I picked Tyrant." Cecile explained.
"Why him? Out of everyone in New York, all the Newsies. You picked him. How could you? Someone must have told you how much I hate him." Spot said.
"So you wouldn't have minded if I picked anyone else? Anyone except for him?" Cecile walked over to Blink. "I could have picked Blink? Or Mush? Or Specs? Anyone but Tyrant? Race? Davey? Or Jack? She asked slyly, placing her hand on his shoulder. Jack looked at it disdainfully and tried to shrug it off, but she kept it firmly there.
"Yes. Just anyone but him!" Spot reiterated.
"So you wouldn't get mad if I went out with someone you warned me about before?" She asked.
"Yes!" Spot shouted.
"I'll be right back." Cecile said and darted outside.
"Listen Tyrant, thanks for all your help. I really appreciated it! I think it actually worked." Cecile said to the awaiting boy outside.
"No problem. Glad to be of service Belle. I'll see you soon." He leaned down and kissed her cheek and then left. She rushed back inside.
"I could choose anyone I wanted?" Cecile asked again.
"As long as they treat you right and they aren't named Tyrant!" Spot said.
"Alright." She sat down on the poker table and took Jack by the hands.
"Remember the other night when I said I had to have a plan to make Spot okay with us? Well that was the plan and I hope you aren't too mad at me." She said. "I completely understand if you don't want me to go to the rally with you tomorrow night." Jack pulled her to her feet.
"I still want to go to the rally with you tomorrow night. Is that okay with you Spot?" The two lovebirds turned towards him.
"Well, I know that you'll treat her with respect and you aren't named Tyrant, so I guess I have to say yes." Jack grinned and leaned towards Cecile and kissed her softly on the lips.
