An account of Consequences June 20, 1899 12:27 a.m.
"I swear I didn't know that 45 was loaded
In fact my memory ain't so clear
That's not to say he didn't get what he deserved
Least that's the way it looks from here
Boy when you line the track a lack a
Hey boy dontcha line the track"
Kid Blink looked at the four other boys across the table form him. All had a sullen look. Snoddy, Crutchy, Dutchy, and Bumlets did not look happy to be deciding the fate of Spot Conlon. It was customary in Manhattan to punish those who harmed one of their boys. But the boys had gone through so much misery in the past two days.
"Under the circumstances, I say we ask him once more and if he won't talk we give him punishment number three." Bumlets spoke up. The rest nodded in agreement.
"Okay." Kid Blink agreed. He left the room with a heavy heart. He trudged over to where Spot was being held by Jake and Itey.
"Spot tell me please. Where's Mush Meyers?" Kid sighed. Spot looked the other way. The four other boys stood behind Kid. Crutchy put a reassuring hand on his shoulder.
"Spot Conlon, leader of the Booklynites, I punish you with a number three sentence. You may say any last words that you may have." Kid looked down.
"Just know that I know what happened to Jack, Race, Dave, Pie Eater, Skittery, and especially Mush. Try and cover it up. And you will. But just know that I know the truth. I will always know the truth." Kid sighed. Specs came into the room.
"Number three Specs. Take him out back. You know the drill." Specs nodded and took Spot out back. Kid sank down into a chair.
--- How did all this happen? Where did we go wrong? ---
Kid jumped as he heard Spot yell into the night "Manhattan! Racetrack Higgins, Mush Meyers, Jack Kelley, John 'Pie Eater' O' Connell, David Jacobs, and Thomas 'Skittery' Whitham are all in the basement of h-"Two quick gunshots drowned out Spots words. Kid leaned back.
"What has happened has happened. Let's not dwell on it. Jack will be upset when he learns how sullen we've been these past few days." Kid went to correct himself but thought better of it.
--- What's done is done. ---
