A/N: Well done Lee, here's the extra chapter I promised. People please, I'm trying to update as often as I can, so please REVIEW! (Again, spelling mistakes are on purpose as it's the east-end way of talking, lol).

"What the bloody hell was that all about!? You scared the living day-lights out of her!" Ronnie was ranting on at Jack an hour later. It had taken an immense effort not to wring his neck in, although he still seemed to think his performance was quite good.

"Ronnie the girl's not stupid! You said she wanted to be treated fairly, so that's what I tried to do. Do you think you telling her she's the perfect candidate before handing the job on a silver platter five minutes later is really gonna help?" Jack huffed as he sat down on the sofa. They both remained silent for a while. Ronnie couldn't believe how easily Jack was taking this. He had almost ruined their chances by bringing up memories from Danielle's previous interview.

"I just wanted you to go easy on her a little, that's all." Ronnie's voice softened, but she didn't know why.

"I know, and I understand why you want Danielle to work here, but let's face it Ronnie, at the end of the day, we are businesses partners, and I really don't think I can offer the job to Danielle." He sighed as he prepared himself for the aftermath of his comment.

"Well, how did you get on" Mo was busy sorting out the new 'stock' which had been 'delivered' earlier.

"umm... Well Jack said he would be in touch. I answered most of his questions well, but I wasn't expecting Ronnie to be there…" Danielle played back the events of the last two hours in her head

"hmm…"Mo had clearly stopped listening some time ago as she looked through a bunch of boxes which seemed to be empty. "Can you believe that plonker's only gone an' nicked the chargers? How I'm I meant to flog these without the chargers?" Mo stared at Danielle expectantly whilst holding up the boxes. Clearly Danielle's interview was no longer the topic of conversation, so she

decided to go find Stacey on the stall, who was more likely to show an interest.

"The perfect opportunity to really get to know my daughter and you can't accept

it. Why's that Jack? You can't see your own children so can't bear to let me see mine?" Ronnie regretted the words as soon as they left her mouth. Her cold army which had been dormant for the best part of a week, had risen, but it was only to defend Danielle, the only person who really mattered.

Jack's temper was rising, he was trying his best to understand Ronnie's point of view, "Ronnie, that's out of order." He stepped forward towards Ronnie but she moved a few paces back. She knew she had been wrong. After all, she more than anyone knew what it was like not to be able to see your own flesh-and-blood, although, she had no intention of apologising.

"She learns really quickly, Dawn and I will train her, it's not going to be a problem, why can't you see that?" Ronnie didn't like her pleading tone towards Jack. He had no right to refuse her this opportunity.

"You and Dawn? Only this morning we were considering letting Dawn go." Jack paced the office with his hand on his forehead.

"She's our head bar girl, our best bar girl" Ronnie couldn't believe how stubborn Jack was bring.

"Don't you think I know that Ronnie? Does that not show how much trouble we're actually in? The kinda salary you wanna pay Danielle, we'll be selling this place in a week."

"Oh for god sake I was just talking figures, why do you always take things so seriously? Actually talking figures, was it not you who claimed Danielle gave one of the fastest responses?" Ronnie looked up at him expectantly. She was going to fight this battle and win.

"Well why were you worried when I asked her to add up some figures? I have the bruise to prove it!" At the mention of Ronnie's painful blast, he stood from his office chair and placed another block of ice above his ankle.

"I… It's just I thought it'd bring up memories for her, that's all." Her voice had lowered in volume as she bowed her head in shame as she relived those painful months. "You said it yourself Jack, she was the fastest."

"Yeah Ron, but she got it wrong" Jack spoke softly to Ronnie. It hurt to see how much she wanted this. For once, she was letting her heart rule her head- something he never expected from Ronnie Mitchell. He had to show her the situation in a different light.

"What? What do you mean she got it wrong? The figure? No, I calculated it myself…" Jack pulled out the sheet he had written on earlier and showed it to Ronnie.

"You must've written it down wrong…"

"Ronnie…" He glanced to the floor,

"Okay, so she got the figure wrong! So what? She was nervous; she made a slip by a couple of pence. Can't blame her the way you looked so intimidating, looking at her like a wild tiger!" Ronnie was angry at Jack. So she got her numbers mixed up, could he not see how perfect she was for the job? Danielle was perfect…

"Me? I consider myself to be the nice one. You're the one with the nasty tendency to trick them with a fake figure even when they're right!" Jack stopped pacing the room and stared at a distressed Ronnie. For a moment, he felt sorry for her. She didn't look to well, and it was obvious she hadn't slept in days.

Ronnie remembered how worried Danielle had looked when Ronnie had interviewed her. Her stomach dropped and for a moment she thought she was going to throw up.

"You know what Jack? I don't need you! We don't need you! It's no wonder we're going bust, you know it wouldn't hurt you to actually put some hours into the club,"

Ronnie barged out the office.

"Oh Ronnie could we talk…" Dawn's voice faded out as she realised Ronnie was in no mood to talk.

"Not now Dawn! Go talk to Jack, but be careful, he's in the firing mood tonight!" Ronnie snapped her response to dawn whilst storming up the stairs, who looked back terrified. That certainly had not put her concerns at rest!

A/N: Well well, Jack's not having any of it. Well ACCORDING TO DANI'S INTERVIEW, would you hire her if you were in Jack's shoes (And your business was in trouble)???
