Chapter 71:
12 years later
"Don't just end us telling the story like that. I want to know what happen to everyone else, especially her son," A girl about fifteen with long dark brown hair said as she was latched onto a boy's arm. "Come on Jim."
"You girls are all so sappy. Who cares what happen to everyone else. All I know is that Fire chick was hot." The boy showed everyone the pictures.
"Oh Henry shut up. Jim her son has the same name as you. That's so cool." The girl said.
"Yea Cindy I know. I think that's one of the reason the story interest me so much." Jim took a deep breath. "Okay I tell you what I know what about what happen to everyone else. No one stuck around to watch Jimmy grow up they all left notes saying it was way to painful to be around Jimmy for he reminded them of Fire so much. Racetrack and Baby Doll Higgins gave up the newsie life and newsie names and moved to Kentucky so Racetrack could move on in on the Kentucky Derby. It was always a dream of his. They got I think its three kids. Two girls and One boy. They still write to Jimmy and Mush and let them know some stuff in their lives. But every year the letters become less and less. Jack and Brass they finally went to Santa Fe. Jack's a real life cowboy and Brass is trying to deal with not living in the city. He loves it out thee. His ranch is big and he's making some money. They have two boys. They write to Jimmy and mush about once a year. Blink and Loons they've become like world travelers or something like that. Last I herd they were in Italy with their daughter. There's I think its about two or three letters a year telling them where they've been. Spot and Books have their daughter and now two sons I think. They are still somewhere in New York but I don't know where. There's barely any communication between them and Mush or Jimmy. You learn what Spot is like he doesn't want to bother. Kloppman died about four years ago of some kind of virus so he's up there in heaven with his daughter. Mush turned into a lifeless sort of man. Barely ever home and not much talking. His angle was gone. He knew he had a son to take care so he did, very well too. But a father that doesn't laugh and will just sit in his study for hours, never coming out to eat or anything. Jimmy hears him cry every night. Mrs. Conlon killed herself right after the hanging. She blamed herself for the whole thing. Matt Conlon walked into her bedroom and she had hung herself with one of Mr. Conlon's ties. The Conlon boys disappeared. No one knows if they are dead or alive. There is no trace of them at all. They weren't even at their mother's funeral. Jimmy I hear blames himself for the group breaking up. If he didn't exist there would be no one to remind them of Fire. If only Jimmy could remember her face without having to look at a picture but Jimmy doe remember her laugh and the way she use to call his name. But every day her voice get lower and lower." Jim stopped walking and the group stopped with him. "Here's her grave."
"Fire Ice Conlon Meyers," Cindy read out loud. They all turned and looked at Jim. "Jim it's not your fault. It's not."
