Connor doesn't get along well with authority, but can you blame him? His parents have basically signed him away to be executed.
So maybe authority isn't something he trusts. When he teams up with Risa, he learns that he can accept others' leadership if that leadership happens to come from someone female and the same age as him.
They're a good team, even though we're told "What [Connor] and Risa have isn't a relationship; it's just two people clinging to the same ledge hoping not to fall" 2. That sounds like a pretty solid definition of a relationship to us, but whether you agree or not, it's definitely a good reason to stick together. Risa helps Connor survive until they get herded along like sheep to the Admiral's Graveyard, where they can toil away in safety until they're eighteen.
Connor becomes a repairman, which is ironic since he seems to cause things to go wrong more often than not. And yet he can fix simple machines. Who knew? This all goes horribly awry, though, as Connor is led by the Admiral to believe that his arch-nemesis, Roland, is plotting something. Roland is always plotting something, but Connor gets so obsessed with Roland, a boy whom is much more similar to Connor than he is different check out his page in this section , that all heck breaks loose when he's not looking.
Connor risks his life to save the Admiral, who is injured, proving the most accurate description of him to be true, when Hayden says, "You've got integrity […] even when you're being an ass" 5.
Connor's bad boy reputation has never done him any good, has it? After being horribly injured in an explosion, he's given the ID of Elvis Robert Mullard, a nineteen-year-old dead guard, which is a loophole saving him from being unwound. His disloyal attitude which saw him betray and possibly kill associates may have earned him the moniker while another theory recalls how his fierce temper saw him chop the thumb off a butcher who overcharged his mother!
His route to criminal infamy began on a cold March morning in when five police men arrived at the home of his sister on south Washtenaw Avenue to arrest him on the murder charges he had previously slipped away from.
Popular belief dictates that Terrible Tommy burst out the front door brandishing two guns and then sprayed the policemen with bullets. The less fantastic and more likely scene saw a brief gunfight break out between Tommy inside the house and the policemen who were on the porch. The judge was not satisfied with their conflicting stories and poured scorn on their carelessness. In July , Terrible Tommy was making a drunken nuisance of himself on a train in St.
The police arrested him and when word filtered back to Chicago that their wanted man was sitting in the county jail in St Paul Minnesota, the Chicago Police Department dispatched a group of heavily armed detectives to bring him back.
At the time of his arrest in Minnesota, Terrible Tommy had just four items in his possession: rosary beads, a scapular, a St Patrick prayer card and a pistol! He was brought back to Chicago where in September he was sentenced to hang. The date for the hanging was penciled in for December 15th but, four days before his execution, the condemned Limerick man escaped.
The two prisoners ran for the prison yard and along with four other prisoners they scaled a 20ft wall to freedom. Terrible Tommy hijacked a car but in the wintery weather it slid on ice and crashed into a store front. Tommy managed to bundle himself out of the wreck and ran off down a side street. The Limerick-born Chicago hoodlum who was only days away from the gallows disappeared into thin air.
Even though the police launched a massive manhunt across America, they never found Terrible Tommy. Sightings of him were reported in various towns and cities across the states. He was sighted in places such as Texas and Los Angeles and even across the border in Canada. It was even claimed that he made his way back to the land of his birth where he offered his services to the IRA. Other rumours arose that he robbed banks on route to Canada before taking his loot on a ship bound for Limerick where he bought a public house under a fake name and lived out his days on Shannonside.
