Chapter 4: Spot Conlon
Spot Conlon watched Race walk off with the strange girl from Frisco. If she was Jack's sister than Race would lead her to him and everything would be ok. But there was a question burning in his head, why now? He didn't understand what she was there for; she seemed to have been doing fine without Jack for the longest time, why now. He shrugged his shoulders and turned around. He couldn't see them anymore anyway, so why worry about it.
About noon, Spot heard a familiar voice. "Hey Spot! Hows ya doin?? I came down to Brooklyn to escapes the fam, does ya mind if I's stays a few days?" Spot turned slowly but surely. It was just the way of things, Race brings the girl to find Jack, and Jack comes to Spot for the weekend. He smiled as he spit and shook with Jack Kelly, his long time friend and partner over way.
"Sure thing Jackie-boi, whateva ya needs!" Spot smiled trying to hold back his concern. What was he escaping? What did he mean by family? Spot shrugged again and put his arm around Jack's neck and lead him towards the lodging house. As they walked Spot questioned Jack in a non-suspicious way. "So Kelly what kindsa problems, have you been having ova theres in Manhattan?? Is it Davie? Mary? Less? Is everyone okays does ya needs help??" Race sounded suspicious, being satisfied with his questions he shut his mouth waiting for a reply.
Jack replied by spilling his guts. "Spot, I just don't feel at home anymore. Davie's back in school, Less is agrivaged that he cants sell papes with me anymore, Mary thinks I's cheatin on her with some goil up here in Brooklyn. I just don't gets it!!" He looked frustrated and depressed, by this time they were at the lodging house; Jack sat down on the curb and put his head in his hands. Spot was relieved that he hadn't seen Lanie. But then this horrible thought came to his head. What if she goes by Davie's place and Mary sees her. Then she will think that Lanie was the girl Jack was cheatin on her with....oh boy.
He decided to step out a little further. "Jackie-boi, does anybodys, knows ya here??" Holding his breath, he listened to Jack's reply.
"Yea, I told Mush, Blink, and Crutchy that I wouldn't be ats the house wits dem dis weekend cause I was going to Brooklyn to visits you. I told Mary I was going to visit Denton for da weekend." He looked up at Spot as if for some reconciliation. "Does ya think its bad I lied to her like dat??" Spot smiled slightly.
"Nah Jackie-boi ya ain't got nothing to worrys bout." Yea nothing at all, nothing except your little sister.
