"I was the only one helping Gypsy," she said, chuckling darkly. "And in the end, she couldn't even help herself." She wondered what had become of her old partner in crime since they had carted her off to some brothel. Rumor had it Jimmy Connelly got her out--he'd always been sweet on her--but Riddle would believe it when she saw it.
"So," she said, pulling Sammie casually toward the bar, as if either of them had money for a drink, "you know why everything's gone all to hell? Know who's running this whole show?"

((That'd be intense!!))
"Some kid named Goblin," said Sammie dryly as she sat on a nearby stool and smiled slyly at the one of the drunks nearby. Hey, if it was going to get her a free drink, she might as well. "Some freakin' newsies are running the show... can you believe that?"

"Yeah," she said with a smirk, "if Goblin's at the helm. He's pretty good at this kind of thing. Mostly." She picked out a lonely, drunk girl in the crowd, marched over to her, and swiped her latest drink. The girl looked up to protest, took one look at Riddle, and changed her mind. Smirking wider than ever, Riddle returned to the stool beside Sammie and offered her a sip. "Straight whiskey...girl must really be desperate."
((Script--YES, we must. I really want her to see Gypsy at least one more time before, um...certain other things happen.))

"You know him?" said Sammie in surprise, completely ignoring Riddle's swipe of the girl's drink.

"Intimately," she said, grinning wickedly and taking a swig of whiskey.

"You're joking," snorted Sammie, rolling her eyes at the girl and swiping a nearby drunk's beer. He seemed too plastered to care or even notice.

"Nope!" Her face fell a little. "Doubt he'd care to admit it now, though."

"So, you actually know him? What, was he in the Refuge for something?" said Sammie in awe. Although, she couldn't understand why she was suddenly so interested in Goblin. She secretly wished she knew his real name.

Riddle stared at her incredulously. "Damn, I guess it was all after your time. Ain't no one in the Refuge now who don't know Goblin. Or me," she added grimly. One thing you had to say for her, she'd surpassed even Goblin--hell, even Jack Kelly--as a Refuge legend now. "Me and him was always causing trouble for the warden and the guards. Breaking out of the bunkrooms at night, stealing food and anything else we could get our hands on, fucking up everything in the classrooms just to make 'em mad..." A nostalgic smile came over her face. "Drove 'em crazy trying to figure out who was doing it all."

"Yeah, well, Goblin's in over his head this time. More than just stealing food and breaking out of bunkrooms," muttered Sammie, taking a swig from her beer as she remembered how he 'boldly' let her go after his attempted torture.

She raised an eyebrow at that and played with her whiskey glass, suddenly not meeting Sammie's eyes. "Yeah, well...he's been in over his head for a while, really..."

"What is he trying to pull? He really wanted to take Eastman down, huh?" she said curiously, looking over at the girl.

"He just wanted to shut the Refuge down," she said with a shrug. "They really fucked him up in there. But now the Eastman thing's personal 'cause..." She couldn't believe Sammie was so out of the loop. "Well, it was his girl that got sold to Heather Mae's. He had his sister get her out, I hear, but not before your boss got to her."
