Roman Torchwick left the casino. Wounds what Rey gave him healed, but wounds he took in casino hurt him. He got a call from Neo while he was walking around town. She asked him came to the square. When he met her, she examined his wounds and said, "Oh, dear. Rey bladed you too much."
"No, it's guys from casino. We robbed a big boss laundering his money through a casino."
"I thought that I'll launder my own money when I grow up."
"I thought your father tries to bring you up as a decent person."
"Jimmy is not an authority for me. I try to leave him. I thought that criminal is easiest way to support myself. I was wrong."
"You know? You and I are not so smart as your uncle Rey or chief Rick. Rick so high level of criminal mastermind. People in town robbery themselves, and bring their money to him with a big pleasure. We call it as a gift when in fact it's..."
"Tax?"
"Corruption."
"Why you aren't smart? What about your formula for hit a jackpot?"
"My mistake. We robbed honourable guest of casino. Nobody will kill me for that but the door in casino are close for me from now."
Neo started to laugh and pressed her forehead against his stomach.
"Neo, it's not funny." Roman said. "Why do you laugh when I feel a bad? I lost my chance to take score. It's the worse day of my life."
"I know. I can't believe I'm laughing but I won't stop because then I might start crying."
Roman held her close and said with a much perplexed, "Okay, laugh as you please." Neo laughed as she please. Roman tired of that and said. "Let's go sit where you calm down. Come on."
They set on the bench. Neo sighed and stopped laughing. Then she said, "I became a disappointment for my family. For everyone."
"So sorry to hear that."
Little kid near ten years old approached them, holding the newspaper in one hand and lollipop in another. He showed the newspaper and pointed at the picture on the front page, "Is it you?"

Neo glanced and frowned. Her eyes froze for a minute before she answered, "No."
"You are. You're the spitting image on the picture. The same sly face."
Neo lowered her head and cried, "Roman, do something!"
"Kid, walk away. We're little busy now."
"And what are you gonna do, hit me? Daddy said that criminals dislike when somebody hurt kids. You will be scum even by criminal standards. What you will do?"
Neo took lollipop from the kid. Kid froze for a moment, then start crying and run away. She watched him leaving, tasting lollipop, then said, "I'll never see you again. My father will not let that happen."
