* CacophonyCoverup: When Tom, Matt, and the others are hiding in a safe house, they briefly get tense when they hear a rat-a-tat-tat sound outside the window -- only to see that there's a coal truck emptying coal in the street. But it turns out a rival gang has set up both the coal truck and several machine gun turrets in a nearby building. They actually wait until the next day when Tom and Matt leave the building and have the coal truck dump more coal, which puts the two off guard when the guns fire at them for real.

He starts out with petty crime as a juvenile, but Prohibition offers him a chance to graduate to bootlegging and murder. Crime doesn't pay, though, and Tom, the public enemy, is destined for a bad end, "the end of every hoodlum."
