Spot and Tachinya had been sitting on the docks for a while now, talking
and enjoying each other's company. "I got sometin' fer ya." Spot said as
he dug in his pocket. From it he produced a simple silver band. "Dis is
fer you." he said holding the ring out to her.
Tachinya took the ring from Spot, "Oh Spot! It's-----" but she never finished, for she was interrupted a savage shriek as Momoe pounced upon Spot and stabbed him in the upper arm with a blunt, rusty and twisted old dagger.
"Here's yer knife!" he squawked insanely sounding just like a parrot. Spot immediately jumped up as Momoe started to lunge toward Tachinya, that being his true mission. Seeing no direct path toward Tachinya, Momoe bounded upon the railings above and landed himself in Tachinya's lap. The impact of this caused the silver ring Tachinya had been holding to slip from her grasp and plunk hopelessly into the water.
"Oh, no!" she cried but her sorrow over the loss of her new ring was intimidated away by the dagger stained red with Spot's blood now aiming for her neck. Tachinya did not know what to do, but Spot did. He clubbed that sucker so hard he went flying into the water. "Oh, Momoe!" she cried helplessly, for despite her hatred for the varmint, deep down she did love him. Only after hearing his groans did Tachinya remember Spot and his wound. "We need to get you help right away!" Tachinya cried.
"We can go back tah my lodgin' house, it's not far from here." So the two rushed to The Brooklyn Newsboys Lodging House as quickly as possible.
When they arrived Snail, Spot's second-in-command-type guy, was sitting aimlessly in the lobby with his girl, Ritz. "What happened!" he asked quite concerned.
"Momoe went mad!" Tachinya tried to explain but was too overwhelmed with all the blood that had stained her nice outfit.
"Who's Mo Mo?" Snail asked not knowing what to do.
"Momoe is--" he winced as Tachinya dabbed his wound with a wet cloth while Clyde, the house owner, gathered his limited first aid supplies. "Tachinya's monkey." Spot finished.
Once Spot had been patched up he and Tachinya left to head back to Manhattan. "I'm sorry about the ring, Spot." Tachinya explained.
"Oh dat's alroit. I'm shoah I can git one a me lackeys tah go lookin' fer it tahmarrah." Spot replied.
When they reached McCain's Lodging House Spot attempted tah give Tachinya a goodnight kiss but, for one reason or another, they bumped heads instead. They both moaned, "A perfect end to a perfect night!" Tachinya said sarcastically. With a simple good-bye the two parted and Tachinya climbed the stairs to the bedding area.
Blind Dymond was asleep when she arrived home so Tachinya did not bother blaming her, at the moment, for killing her monkey. "Oh my gosh! What happened tah you?" asked Saucy referring to Tachinya's bloodstained clothes.
"Oh my! Are you all right?" asked Cosmo. Several more of these comments came from those girls still awake.
"Momoe attacked us and hurt Spot." Tachinya said as she began to dispose of her ruined clothes.
"Well, where's Momoe now?" asked a curly redheaded girl named Hope.
"Spot clubbed him into the water." she explained, "I'm supposing he's dead." Tachinya was very saddened over this.
"Why did he attack Spot?" Racey asked.
"He was trying to get to me, I'm sure. I know he's always wanted to kill me." It was obvious that Tachinya was incredibly traumatized by the whole situation.
"So ya let 'im stab Spot? Boy, yer a real good goil fer him." Sassy was one of Tachinya's few enemies and she always had to put her two cents in. Tachinya just ignored Sassy, finished undressing and retired herself for the night.
