 Well, hi there, Joey" remark cheefully, stoppin' to slap him on the back. "How's tricks?" Look herei" sputters Joey. didn't you catch what I said2 You're bein' tailed! Stiffy's had men out after you for six weeks. Ever since you busted away from the gang. Now this alley"

Stiffy's sore as hell at you for leavin' the gang, and he says you know too much" The two boys down the street shift about a little, like maybe their feet is hurtin' them. Joey sees 'em, and the goose pimples on him rise up like the Rockies. Maybe it's curtains for you right now, Spike" he murmurs broken like, and backs up so as not to spoil Icer Gus aim - in case he takes one.

 "And you blew town" reminded Joey.

Each and every friend gets in touch with me 1 each and every day to find out am I still well and happy. And when just one of them guys fails to reach me, Stiffy, they will deliver pronto
