4 And they could not understand why the punks were not afraid of them,
5 Which made them become angry,
6 So that the leader of the Angels drew a hammer from his belt, and held it before the face of St. Nuke, saying,
7 "I am the leader of the Angels, and I am called the aDuke, which would frighten you, if you thought about it at all,
8 "For bI have slain many who are larger and stronger than you,
9 "And I have decided to accept all three of your choices,
10 "Which means that I will kill you first, in single combat,
11 "And then we will march up South Street and dispose of the Shuteye Train,
12 c"Whatever that is,
13 "And then we shall return to finish the rest of you,
14 "Because we are dAngels,
15 "And you are enothing."
CHAPTER 61 So saying, the Angel set upon St. Nuke with his fhammer,
2 And the combat raged across South Street,
3 With neither gaining the upper hand,
4 Until the Angel grew purple with fury,
5 And sought to end the combat with a single savage blow of his hammer,
6 Which missed,
7 So enraging the Angel that he reached into his pocket for a gfirearm,
8 Whereupon St. Nuke planted an icepick in his ear,
9 hAll the way to the handle,

10 Which slew the one called the iDuke,
11 Before he hit the ground.
CHAPTER 71 Then, without even the slightest delay, another jAngel declared that he was now the leader,
2 And desired to see the Shuteye Train,
3 kWhatever that was,
4 Because he didn't like secrets,
5 And had plenty of time to kill the rest of the punks later.
6 At these words, St. Nuke pointed up South Street with his bloody icepick,
7 And all the Angels turned to look where St. Nuke pointed,
8 Then gasped in surprise,
9 Because all they saw was four punks standing in the middle of South Street,
10 Wearing long black coats,
11 Red bandanas,
12 And dark glasses.
13 Seeing them, the new leader of the Angels cried out in a loud sarcastic voice, saying, "Who are you?"
14 And lone of the four stepped forward three paces and replied,
15 "Who are we?
16 m"The Shuteye Train."
CHAPTER 81 Some of the Angels tried to laugh, but nAlice Hate at once commenced a chant, shouting,
2 "The Shuteye Train, the Shuteye Train, you'll otry and die in the Shuteye Train,"
3 Which was taken up by all the punks who stood with St. Nuke,
