Chase grabbed Ace's hand in an effort to pull her back. "Ace... Wait. Tell us what exactly?" He glared at Tybalt as Spade came and stood behind him with Abby in tow. Chase pulled Ace out of Tybalt's hitting range and held her hand, standing beside her.
Abby smiled up at Spade. "Yer thoughtful. I'd love ta get outta here. But.. what's goin' on?" She looked over at the crowd of people by Irish. Spade walked off toward them and Abby followed him.

Tybalt raised his eyebrows at her. "That's why I came over. To tell them the truth." He smirked. "I am sad to announce that my dear sister Ophelia paid the man named 'Killer' to kill Rosalind and Mercutio Lexeme. Two thousand each. She also put a hit out on Poet, Irish, Ace, Brooke, and a few others...." Tybalt looked sad, he looked sincere. Out of the corner of his eye, he watched his news take effect. Street whipped her head around at Ophelia, Goldie shrieked and dropped her like she was a disease. Levi went to rush forward, only to have Sean stop him.
****
Asher hugged Tyler back. "Ty... I tried to seduce Chase. It-it didn't end well." He said sadly.
****
Irish nodded, he stood to pick Poet up when he heard Tybalt's announcement. He looked to Ophelia too. The girl was crying weakly and her eyes were large and fearful. "I-I swear... I did not pay anybody to do anything! I do not even know Killer! Rosalind, Mush, please believe me."
"I'm honored that ya'd pay two thousand for me." Street said quietly. She looked at Ophelia, confused.
"No! I swear to you! I swear to the Lord above!" Ophelia cried.
"No use denying it, sister. I have the contract right here." Tybalt handed a thick envelope to Street. "Right, forgot you can't read." He said coldly and handed it to Chase and Ace. "Read for yourself." He handed a note to Ace and winked. It read 'Forgot me. Remember Him.'

Mush looked back at Ophelia when he heard Tybalt. He was one of many that listened to him but did not approach him. He gave Ophelia a disgusted look. "How could ya? Yer own family?" He felt in his pocket for the ring he was going to give to her until the Killer thing started. It felt like a burden now more than anything.
Chase gave Tybalt a killer look as he handed Ace an envelope. She opened it and read it. 'Forget me, remember him.' He read over her shoulder. "What?" He whispered in Ace's ear. As usual, he was confused.

Ace glared at Tybalt and then over at Ophelia,"You're Lying, tell them the truth before I do, I don't care what the hell is written on this damn contract, I saw what I saw and I heard Killer's words myself, and you were there!"she yelled pulling her hand away from Chase and throwing the envelope at Tybalt. "You even told him you'd give him three thousand fer my head! Ya can't lie, yer the one payin' him, ya want yer families inheritance that's what it's all about, and I don't even care why ya want Poet and irish and mine and who ever elses heads too but I do know that yer a lying son of a bi***!"she yelled getting right in his face not caring, because she knew if he reacted and even moved to try and hit her, he would be on the floor in seconds because everyone would know the truth.
-----
Spade kept hold of Abby's hand and watched Ace still,"Woah, three thousand? Damn ya realleh are as expenisve as ya look,"he said trying to lighten the mood. He received a small look from Ace out of the corner of her eyes that told him to shut up and he closed his mouth quick.He looked at Abby and sighed, knoowing they should get out soon.
--------
Lucky followed Irish's gaze but only for moments before she nudged him gently,"Go....ya realleh need ta take care of her, I'll come and tell ya everythin' latteh,"she assurred him knowing that Poet wasn't in such great shape.

Tybalt shook his head. "You are mistaken my dear. Confused. I have no money. Grandmother cut me off because I came to America. Only Ophelia has the funds necessary to pay anyone. I-I have been living off of charity from my friends..." Tybalt's voice shook. He was ashamed of his new found poorness. Ophelia sobbed. He handed Ace his wallet. "See? No money, no bank slips, no nothing. I have no money... Haven't had a dime for two weeks-that's when I showed Grandmama the letter and told her I was coming here." He reached for Ophelia and snatched her purse away. He dumped it out. "Five grand in cash, and look, a letter from Killer."
He cleared his throat and read aloud, "'I would much obliged to help you obtain your goal of inheritance. I will kill your siblings at a price of two thousand each, anyone else, three thousand. I'll do pregnant b****s for cheap. Send you the-' Well, let's just say it isn't proper. '-Send me the cash in an unmarked envelope with a list of names. Looking forward to doing business, Killer.'" Tybalt frowned and let the letter fall to the floor. "See?" He asked everyone, but Ace in particular. "This proves everything! A letter in the killer's own hand, proclaiming that Ophelia is paying him. Enough money for Rosalind or Mercutio or me and someone else. Perhaps Eli?" He suggested, pacing the room. "Things are not always as they appear." He said, the double meaning falling on deaf ears. "Ophelia is sweet and innocent and pregnant. And she's about to be cut off and disowned for her sins. Isn't that right?" He asked sweetly.
"How did you know I was pregnant?" Ophelia asked. Tybalt smiled at her. "I only told Mush."
"The walls have ears. I know who you hang around with. Many stories about you have reached my ears in this short time. Stories about all of you." Tybalt's eyes flashed around the room. They settled on Irish and Poet, Ace and Spade, Asher and Tyler, Street and Levi, Sean and Brooke. "Be weary of my sister." He said finally, jumping from the stage. He bowed his head to Goldie and walked away smirking. "I shall see you around, young sister." He said, brushing Street's hair from her forehead. He kissed her hand and left. "Au revoir."

Ace listened but still wouldn't believe it, she had seen him, he had been forced against that wall next to her, and Killer had told her to say something to him and she had remarked in a smart a** tone. He had told Killer the price for her head, he had been there. She jumped off the stage and ran at him, she jumped on his back and yelled,"You're Lying I don't care what ya say yer lying!"she cried. Spade let go of Abby quickly and jumped off the stage rushing over and prying Ace off of Tybalt as she thrashed her arms and tears fell from her eyes. Spade forced her down with him and he sat down on the floor in the aisle and pulled her down around the waist into his lap."Ace....let it go...just let it go..."he whispered as he held her in his lap. Ace struggled and tried prying Spade's arms from her but she started to give up and she threw herself against his chest, crying and clinging to him like a child. Spade sighed running a hand through Ace's hair and making soft shooshing noises in her ear,"Yer ok....I promise ya nothin' will eveh happen ta ya..."he assurred her. He slowly stood and picked her up bride style walking over to Chase,"Can ya take care of her?I gotta take care of Abby,can ya carry her or do ya want me ta put her down?"he asked Chase. He looked over at Abby giving her a look that was apologetic,"I'll be wit ya in just a sec doll,"he promised.
Lucky nudged Irish again,"Go...get her outta hereh Irish don't just stand around, she's hurt ya want her ta get worse?"she urged him toward the exit.Poet groaned in irish's arms and shifted grabbing gently onto the front of his shirt as she opened her eyes,"Irish....?"she whispered softly looking up at him in a light daze.
Tyler sighed,"It's ok Ash....we all make mistakes it'll be ok I promise ya, I dunno what else ta tell ya Ash except that I'm hereh fer ya and if...if"he stammered for a moment,"if that's not enough fer ya...I dunno what is,"he muttered.

Chase was frozen on the stage after seeing Ace tackle Tybalt. When Spade rushed forward, Chase got over his shock to hlp him. He jumped off the stage and ran forward. "Nah, i got 'er." He told Spade taking Ace in his arms. He kissed her forehead and tried to quiet her. "It's alright Ace, it's ok. I'll take care of ya now. Thanks." He whispered the last part to Spade smiling at him.
Abby gasped, watching Ace jump on Tybalt's back. Spade ran forward. Abby watched in amazement. She could only nod when Spade told her he'd be there in a minute. He came back over to her and she watched as Chase took Ace and walked over to the seats with her. He seemed unsure of where to take her.

Street shook her head. Levi moved to hug her but for the first time in her life, she pushed him away. Instead she stalked past Ophelia without a glance and stood in front of Ace, looking very small and very determined. She slapped the girl. "How dare you say anything bad about my family. Even if he's lyin', it's not your place ta say. Ya discuss it privately with me, not out in the open. Got it? If I ever hear about ya badmouthin' one of my brothers or my sister again..." Street didn't finish her sentence, she didn't need to. For the first time ever, she had threatened someone. "We're all a little scattered 'cause of Eli. Just let it drop for tanight. We'll discuss everythin' tamorrow."
Street stood, waiting for someone to challenge her, but she missed the danger that was Ace. Asher pulled away from Tyler and flew to her side in a heartbeat. In another, Levi and Sean were there. They watched Ace carefully as Levi pulled Street back. Goldie stood watching them. "White people are crazy." Then she walked away, to identify Eli's body.
Irish pulled Poet up and told Lucky he was taking her to his apartment. Before he left he whispered to Lucky. "Oif what she's sayin' is true... Well, Oi can't afford a young baby and to move out. We'll have to live at my Grandda's apartment... With Sean and his parents and sister, my sister, my mum, and Grandda. There's only two rooms Lucky. Oi don't know what Oi'm gonna do..."

Mischief stood by the doors, a smirk on her face and her eyes bright. As Tybalt headed toward her on his way out she grabbed him by the arm and smiled,"Where ya headed boyo?"she asked him, her voice sweet and almost seductive. She looked into his eyes her own dancing, if this was the whole idea she had heard him talking to Killer about, she was very impressed with it. She bit her bottom lip and tilted her head,"Wherever yer headed....ya want any company?"she offered.
Ace eyed Street and scowled,"Protect whoever the hell ya want Street, but trust meh if ya protect the wrong people...."she cut herself off as Hunter appeared at her side. She smirked slightly,"Ya know what....yer not even worth threatenin right now anyway..."she muttered as she looked at Chase and took his hand in hers,"Ya wanna leave?"she asked him softly not wanting to deal with this crap at the moment, she knew Jackyboy would throw a hissy fit if she started something with Street, even though many in the room knew she was damn well capable of defending herself. She stood and looked at Hunter with a smile on her face,"Thanks fer the support, rushin' back ta my side and not hers,"she muttered for only him to hear. Hunter nodded,"no Problem Ace...."he murmured as he looked from Levi to Street. He rolled his eyes at her threat and turned his back pushing past everyone to get to Spade,"keep yer eyes open, and don' let anyone touch Poet...or Ace, hell jus' don' let anyone touch anyhone.."he groaned. Spade laughed slightly and nodded as he squeezed Abby's hand,"Trust meh Hunt...nobody's touchin' anyone so help meh" he assurred. He sighed as he watched Hunter walk off to the bar.
Tyler followed Asher and took him by the hand,"Ash...don't get involved,"he muttered knowing he was not willing to pick sides at this point, and he knew Asher and Ace had respect for each other as well as Street and Asher, so it would be complicated.
Lucky looked at Irish and sighed,"Irish....it's true, she ain't lyin'....."she muttered sadly. She looked into irish's eyes and bit her bottom lip slightly,"why would ya hafta stay wit yer grandda?"she asked him concerned.

Chase looked up at Street apologetically. He squeezed Ace's hand back. "Yeah, let's go." He turned his back to the rest of them and looked back once. He mouthed an apology to Street and Asher and Mush and walked away with Ace. He smirked at Spade. "We can take anyone that comes along." He said with a wink. As they walked out, past the doors, Chase thought he recognized the girl talking to Tybalt. He squinted trying to see her from such a distance. He shook his head thinking it couldn't be her. He smiled at Ace and walked the other way with her, Spade, and Abby.

Tybalt looked at her. "Don't talk to me here. I cannot be seen with you, it would blow my cover." Tybalt explained quickly. "Meet me at this address in half an hour." He slipped her piece of paper covertly.
Street continued to skeptical. "If ya wanna talk about this... Talk about with me in private. Ya know where I am. I'll listen ta whatever ya have ta say whenever ya want ta say it so long as it's in private." Street explained. Levi, however, continued to look dangerous. No one, especially Hunter, was going to get close to Street. Ever.
"You're a bad influence on her, Levi." Asher murmured. "I think smacking her was too much." He sighed and looked at Tyler. "I understand, I respect Ace, but Street's my best friend in the entire world. I can't just let her hang out there with her pissin' Ace off. Street's not to bright, Ace'll destroy her." He smiled sadly at Tyler, and looked even sadder when Chase left with Ace.
Irish looked at Lucky. "Don't tell her this, k? Oi've been savin' money ever since we got engaged. Oi even gave up goin' to the bar after work with the lads. Sean and Uncle Daniel have helped out too. Oi just had about enough to rent an apartment just big enough for the two of us. Lucky, Oi can't let no wife or kid of mine livin' in squalor or a one-roomed apartment. Oi certainly can't let them live with Grandda. He'll kick us out as soon as he does the math. Oi broke one of his great laws, no sex before marriage. See? Kids are expensive. Wives too, but Oi had just enough... And now it's like water overflowin' from a cup..." Irish shook his head.

Mischief took the paper and nodded at Tybalt, she wanted to just follow him out but knew she had to listen to him. She sighed and looked over her shoulder seeing Chase leave with his girl. She sighed softly, part of her wanted to go after him too. She turned her back on Tybalt,"Ok...where is this place any way?"she asked looking at the address, she made sure her voice was soft almost a whisper just for him to hear.
Ace walked beside Chase and squeezed his hand gently,"I'm sorreh about that Chase....I jus'...everyone knows I don't take nothin' from no one regardless of who they think they are..."she muttered as they headed toward the lodging house. Spade grinned and nudged Chase in the side,"it's true, she's clocked me a good amount a times, she's got a hell of a punch..."he said as he squeezed Abby's hand and then turned to look at her,"Ya doin' ok doll?"he asked her softly.
Lucky nodded and lookked down noticing Poet was coming to."Well I'm sure you'll figure it out Irish, but fer now ya get her ta yer place..."she muttered. Lucky looked at Irish and smiled weakly before turning and heading into the crowd and over to Street,"Hey....ya gonna be ok?"she asked in concern.
Tyler nodded abit and sighed as he ran a hand through his hair,"Ace'd kill her if she got chance..."he murmured. He took Asher's hand and bit his bottom lip,"ya wanna head out Ash?"he asked wanting to spend some time alone with him for a change.
Poet groaned and stirred in irish's arms before looking up at him through a daze."Irish...."she whispered through a pained voice. She clung to him, both hands around the back of his neck and she tilted her head resting it on his shoulder."Irish....get meh outta hereh please..."she whispered weakly.

Chase squeezed Ace's hand back. "It's alright, babe. I don't blame ya." He looked at Spade, trying to see if he was joking. He was smiling and laughing but it didn't look like he was kidding to Chase. Abby hugged Spade's side. "I'm alright now. It's always betteh when i'm with ya." She smiled up at him.
