Tessa didn’t give any more thought to Carmina’s visit to Murphy’s or the gang fight she had talked about. The gangs’ clashes and rivalries didn’t concern her. Her homework kept her busy enough, and Jack always told her, Ruby, and Henry to stay out of all the gang business. The whole ruckus was far removed from her life until she visited the post office days later to mail another letter back to London.

“Jack’s hurt,” Ruby told her. “Carlos’ friends beat him up really bad.”

“Why? What happened? Is he all right?”

“He went to ask Benny for help. He told Benny the big fight was coming up and asked him to stop the Colts. I’m not really sure what happened after that, but instead of telling the Colts to stay away, Benny sent the police. The fight broke out anyway and Carlos got stabbed. Then the police showed up. They let most of the Colt members go but arrested Carlos and his gang. Beat them and messed them up pretty badly too during the arrest.”

“But how did Jack get hurt? Was he there?”

Ruby shook her head. “Jack wasn’t there, but Carlos’ people heard it was Jack who told Benny about the fight. They thought Jack did it to send the police to back up the Colts. When they got out on bail, they found Jack and beat him senseless.”

“That can’t be! All Jack wanted was to stop the fight. How could they think Jack would send the police against them?”

“It’s just the way things are.” Ruby took the letter Tessa gave her, then sighed and tossed it into the bin behind her.

Tessa thought of the day at Murphy’s when Carmina came. She had no idea then what a difficult situation Jack had in hand. “I’ll go see him.” She rushed out of the post office as fast as she could to the train station.
