Lexi watched him walk off and sighed. "Wait up! I'm coming!" She said and ran after him.

Karl turned back to see Lexirunning after him.
"The heating changed your mind, did it?"
he said with a smile, and laughed.
"Okay then, this way!"

Cecil sighed. "Do I have to sit amongst them today?" He asked casually.

Cecil sighed and sat next to some guys going at each other in an Arm wrestling tournament.

Lexi sighed. 'I wonder where the Jack's hide out is anyway...I wouldn't mind seeing Cecil again...' She smiled to herself and kept walking.

While everyone seemed to be occupied, Jet walked away into the back--a darker area of the underground hideout. She quietly slipped into her own personal meeting room and stood under a dim light on the other side of the door. She closed it and turned around, then spoke seriously.
"Dax, what do you want to see me for?" she asked someone else in the room. The scrawny, young, dark-haired male who approached her earlier spoke up from the othe side of the room.
"It's about your treatment. The suppliers were found dead yesterday."
Jet took a deep breath. "Who did it?"
Dax shook his head. "We don't know. We've got a few out gathering info, but no much is turning up."
"And the medication?"
"Stolen."
"By?"
"Again, we're not sure, a rival maybe."
"No one else knows about this..."
Dax nodded and sighed. "I'm sorry, Jet."
Jet shook her head. "I'll be fine."
Dax watched her for a few seconds, then looked down. He walked out of the door that Jet came through and closed it quietly.
Jet stayed still for a moment, then turned on the wall and slammed both fists onto it, crying out in anguish and shutting her eyes tightly. She took a deep breath again and let her arms drop to her sides again. She exited the room as well, just as calm and collected as she had been when she entered.

The other Jacks had chalanged Cecil to one on one Arm wrestling matches. "ARUUHHHGGHH!" A Jack cried in angish as Cecil slammed his fist down on the table.
"Thats 4 wins, Nil losses." Said Cecil.

Karl turned to Lexi.
"Up until now, never. Me and Cecil made a promise as kids not to get involved in these kinds of things, but if he thinks he will survive that way, then I'm not going to stop him. Its his life."
Karl continued walking, then stopped. He turned around, a devious smile on his face.
"You seem awfully interested in Cecil, you know!"
Karl playfully winked, and continued walking.

Jet spotted Cecil at the table and sighed. Her mind was on other things rather than new recruits and keeping track of arm-wrestling champs. She walked over to a table and climbed atop it, then shouted for silence. She cleared her throat once she achieved most of the Jacks' attention and spoke. "I need the stronger of you to come with me to a town about a day's walk from here. Not all of you need to come. I only need twenty-something for this. Anyone who wants to join me, meet at that corner in ten minutes." she said, pointing to the back of the room on the opposite side of Cecil and his table. She climbed down and the Jacks resumed their activities.
Clearly, this gang wasn't like others. They gave their leader respect and listened to her, almost like they cared really. Truth be told, even Jet had some love for the gang and found it impossible to step down from her place on the Jacks' throne as the Queen of Spades, even in times of trouble.

Cecil beat the last guy there, and laughed with them. THen he heard her announcement and got up and over to the table. "Would I be considered one of the stronger ones boss?" He said. He decided it'd be polite to call her boss instead of mom...

Jet looked over at Cecil and nodded. "After your display with Kira's gang, there's no doubt. Thinking about coming along?"

Cecil stayed silent for a bit. "As long as there's no violence towards any citizens involved. I made a promise to that Karl guy, as kids... That we'd never get involved in Gangs. I just want to make sure, that if I break my promise, i'll stay by my way of the protection of citizens." He stopped, blinked then laughed.
"I sounded so cheesy there."
