Summary
Tom just wanted a quick dinner, thought the easiest way to get one was to eat at the diner.
Didn't expect a phone call during his meal.
Definitely didn't want to have to deal with Shaddock, but Shaddock in Ardmore would cause a whole lot of trouble, considering his penchant for taking any girl that caught his eye.

Summary
It took too many years, wronging too many people, for Tom to figure out he was bad at relationships.
Coming back to the Richmond, rescuing Ellen, was only one reminder.
The other reminder was left in the burning alley, outside Torchies.

Summary
Winters in the Richmond can be bitterly cold. Some may take relief in warm winter jackets and hats, a hot meal, and a warm bed at night.
But some people are all too familiar with rejection.

First he needs to find him.
Then he needs to convince him.
In return, Raven just wants to be left alone.
Some deals just aren't meant to go smoothly.

Summary
When Tom has his doubts about safely getting Ellen out of Torchies, with all the Bombers he can see and hear in the hallway, he agrees to Raven's terms.
Ellen can leave, if Tom stays.
Note Rated M for what I think is one provocative scene, which really goes nowhere. Otherwise, closer to a Teen rating.

Summary
A nighttime visitor comes to Tom's apartment, leaves without a calling or knock.
He hears the roof entrance door open first.
Sees the blood drops next.
He doesn't need to be sleepless to investigate the matter.

Summary
After the street fight, The Bombers take back Raven, but for what purpose?
To make him everyone's favourite loser. To make an example of him and his failures, by putting him front and centre in the newly started Fight Club and betting pool.
Curiosity gets the better of Tom. Unwillingly.

Only this time, Ed's threat becomes a reality.

Summary
Tom didn't actually leave town, in the end.
He thought about it. He thought about it hard. It was tempting, no doubt about it.
But he'd tried leaving things behind before. Chicago, Ellen. Himself. Hadn't worked, not once. The only thing that did work seemed to be coming back: taking a good hard look at what you'd left, deciding what it meant to you now and what it didn't, instead of running away from it some more.

Summary
“Well,” Raven called over to the man as he approached. “Looks like I finally ran into someone that likes to play as rough as I do.”
The man on the bike turned around. Raven had never seen him before. Strange that it wasn’t a local, only locals knew how to get into the Battery. Maybe he was some hired hero or hitman paid off to get Ellen back.
He was pretty though.

Summary
Tom sat in the car with McCoy, and let himself enjoy it for a minute. The wind in his hair, and the dark streets whipping by, and McCoy next to him about as relaxed as he'd ever seen her, looking comfortable and maybe even kind of happy.
He didn't want to ruin it.
But they were getting close now. And when the time came for it, he cleared his throat and said, "Turn left."
