"'Cause it was either I become like one of those girls in the Refuge or I survive," said Sammie finally answering after a couple of moments. She was used to people shouting at her, hitting her but not talking to her about her choices. She hated it. She hated how he somehow got under her skin. "I have a place to stay. I can eat. I can do more than most kids out there can. That's why."

He glared at her, running his thumb slowly up and down the flat side of the blade. "Plenty of the kids in the Refuge could've made choices like that. Most of us stuck it out rather than selling out so many other people just to get ahead. And yet all you kids who made the wrong choice think you're so fucking justified." He thought of Gypsy and Riddle, and started to really believe that he could kill her after all.

"That's the difference between me and you," said Sammie, glaring at him. "You have people looking out for you. You have people to look out for. If I die, no one cares. Not even Eastman. He can find another lackey if he wants to just like nothing. I never said I was justified. What would you do, huh? Be a whore or try to find a way out?"

"I found a way out that didn't get anyone hurt," he snapped, and didn't realize all the implications of what he'd said until after he'd said it. Christ, now he had to kill her. He quickly switched to a businesslike tone, hoping she'd just overlook that outburst. "You know where Eastman is right now? Where he'd go if there was trouble?"

"You found a way out?" she repeated, narrowing her eyes at him and completely ignoring his question. Just what was this kid planning?

He sighed and had no idea why he felt compelled to answer her, but he did it. "My way out, kid, was to stop making trouble, serve out my goddamn sentence, and get released. Not make deals with the monsters that were running that place. Which, by the way, won't be around much longer."

"What, you think you can bring him down? He has friends. He has friends in high places and can find you and your pals. He'll raid this place within days and you'll all be in the ground," she replied, threatening him as best she could.

"And where will you be?" he asked, getting to his feet, gripping the knife.

Sammie frowned. She didn't know. She'd been loyal to him for years because she had nowhere else to go. They were both using each other. He was using her and she was using him to survive.

The fact that she didn't have an answer made this easier, in a way. She had nowhere to go. She was nothing without the gang. Nobody cared about her. He took a step toward her, then once again displayed his talent for making things infinitely harder for himself. "You got a name?"

((Awwww I like the both of them already  ) She didn't want to give in. But at this point, even she knew that Eastman was falling to pieces. And what happened earlier might've just triggered it. The thought of Eastman was still scary but without power and his gang, he didn't have anything. "Sammie," she finally replied, looking up at him. |

((They're both so incredibly messed up! I can't decide whether that bodes well or ill for their relationship. ^_^))
He leaned against her chair, holding the knife at his side, just fiddling with it, and looked at her kind of awkwardly. "Anyone ever tell you that's a boy's name?"

"Short for Samantha, dumb ass," she muttered, rolling her eyes at him. "Well, what's yours, then?"

"Goblin," he said with as much dignity as he could muster, because there was no way in hell "Sebastian" wouldn't lose the stupid-name game.

Sammie looked at him in confusion before chuckling softly, shaking her head at him. "You newsies and your nicknames... why can't you just use your real names?"
