Now, this next section of John Shea's life involves many things that have to do with being in the Irish Mafia and his outside life. Continuing from before, John meets a young girl, by the name of Penelope, at a birthday party. for the next ten to twenty pages, it is about how John met her, before and after the party. They got along very nicely, they kissed, and "made love." The last thirty five to forty five pages are about his relationship with Whitey, and how he has conflict to either progress it or keep it low. After a test of life or death, John became the new drug dealer on Whitey's turf. Everyone that worked for him, recognized him as one of the top bosses because drugs were the next important thing to Whitey, other than himself. This section is more about how John is Whitey's drug dealer, and how he takes his new role in Whitey's business. Half the time of his new job, John goes overboard on a random guy because he was selling drugs on his turf, didn't pay him, or just irritated John for an unknown reason.
I took a deep breath. I looked straight at her. "I can't make that promise, Mrs. Howard. All I can tell you is, i promise nothing will happen to Penelope, ever."
Once reading this in the chapter, I thought that John really knew how to take care of a woman. From this, he is easily able to tell Penelope's, his current girlfriend, mother that he will protect, no matter what the cost. I also thought to myself that this is one of those phrases that knights in shining armor say to a king, whose daughter is trapped in a locked tower. At this point,I found it to be another fairy tale for John Shea.
