Spade was a man who had his house but he would move in and out of town a lot. Wyatt decided to move in with him regardless of the fact Spade traveled a lot. Spade knew of the skill Wyatt had. Fighting for money was something stuck in Spade’s head. Wyatt began to fight in the streets and he began to make money not only for himself but for Spade as well. After a certain fight Wyatt won Spade began to have problems. Spade began to drink, argue with people and fight outside the boxing cage where Wyatt would fight. These actions caused problems not only for Spade but for Wyatt too. Wyatt then began to get annoyed and he ended up leaving Uncle Spade to go back with his family. He thought that moment would  never come but eventually it did and he liked the fact he was back with his family. Although Wyatt was happy there, he could not help the fact he felt weird being with them and sometimes he felt less happy than at other times. This is how this book concludes with Wyatt being with his family and getting things together.
