Goblin exchanged a glance with Sammie. "It's taken care of," he assured Hawk. Glancing over at the newsies again, he added casually, "Any other girls living here?" It wasn't just a random change of subject; there were quite a few different angles to that question.

"Not many," Hawk replied, leaning against the wall and giving Sammie an admiring look. "A handful. most like to be in Hattan where they get their own bunkroom."

"Makes sense," he agreed, catching the way he looked at Sammie but deciding not to react. Sammie could take care of herself, and Cav would take care of Footsteps. And he would just lay low and have a normal life. Right? He looked around till he found a bunk that was completely empty. "Top or bottom?" he asked Sammie with a smirk.

Sammie simply glared back at Hawk, refusing to do anything else. Once she heard Sebastian's question, she wordlessly climbed onto the top bunk and smiled at the two boys. "There anything else you need here, our fearless Brooklyn leader?" she said both with amusement and sarcasm.

Hawk raised his eyebrow at the girl. She was a feisty one, and he had a feeling he shouldnt underestimate her. "I don't think so. Let me know if you need anything. Or if anyone bothers you."

Sammie nodded, secretly wondering what it'd be like to work for him. But she pushed the thought away as fast as it came. She came here to start over, not to start working for a gang (well, it was close to one as she could get!).
"Will do," she replied, anxious to lie down on her bed already.

Goblin nodded his thanks and stowed his bag on his bunk. As he checked its contents, his eyes fell on Riddle's book. He still hadn't opened the damn thing. He decided to ignore it, however, along with the shady vibes he was getting from Hawk, and wondered idly how Cav and Footsteps were doing.

Sammie laid down on the edge of her bed, silently observing Sebastian. "You alright?" she finally asked after a couple of moments.

He checked to make sure Hawk had drifted away, then looked up at her bunk. "Why should I answer that, huh? You never tell me anything." He said it playfully, but he was half-serious. In truth, besides his aching shoulder and his aching heart, he was already verging on bored--and that was always bad news. He got up restlessly. "I'm gonna go find Cav and 'Steps."

"Alright, fine, what do you want to know?" said Sammie, swinging her legs over the bunk and looking at him.

He looked at her in surprise, then glanced around the room. People were watching them. That was never good. He beckoned to her and made his way out into the hall.

Sammie jumped off of her bunkbed and followed Goblin. "I keep to myself 'cause I used to work in a gang," she said quietly once they were far from everyone else. "It's hard for me to open sometimes, alright?"

"Oh, I get it, believe me," he said wryly as he headed for the stairs, not even sure where AJ had taken their two companions. "You just shouldn't expect me to open up if you're gonna keep being all mysterious." Now that he was more-or-less over the initial shock of everything they'd been through, he eyed her like she was some fascinating puzzle. Mysterious people drove him crazy. In a good way. They had to be solved. "What do you think of the leader?" he said at last.

"He has way too much power for someone who's head of a newsie borough," she said bluntly but loud enough only for Sebastian to hear.

He nodded, mulling it over. "Well, Spot Conlon always did too. Seems like there's just something about Brooklyn that--" He cut himself off abruptly. "Not that it matters. It's not like it effects us." Breaking his promise to Clara this soon would be a disgrace. Dear God, Maggie was a mess, Lena wasn't even cold in her grave, and he was on the verge of getting another girl mixed up in his conspiracy theories and elaborate schemes? Forget it, Goblin. Just let it go.
"I think it's this way," he muttered, heading upstairs.
