Chapter Two

Chapter Two is the second section of Underdog2018. It ran from 11/13/18 to 5/14/19 and had 32 pages.

Synopsis
Chapter Two starts with Shoeshine and Tennessee looking out of the apartment window and into the street, waiting for King Leonardo's ticker tape parade. Polly is on Broadway reporting it.

To the side of the building, Pretzel, Rocky, Biggie and Itchy are waiting.

Tennessee points out that there seem to be no cameras, so Shoeshine goes to text Polly. Before he can, a shot is fired and Tennessee panics, begging him not to leave. Shoeshine outs himself as Underdog and the event is cancelled.

Later that night, Taptap and Biggie are listening to a radio cover their event. Biggie asks about killing the King & Odie, but Taptap responds by telling him to fulfill his part first. He thinks Biggie has forgotten and puts a gun to his head to jog his memory. Once he remembers, he brings Itchy in to start practicing their act.

In the meantime, Polly is running home without cell service to tell Shoeshine she's okay. She nearly gets hit by a car, but it stops before it harms her, revealing the driver to be Scotty. He takes her home and locks eyes with Tennessee, who starts to panic again and yells at him.

Tennessee starts talking about his backstory: how his parents left him, uncle got killed, got separated from his cousin Percy, and landed in Megapolis. He says how he only had three friends and, in The Megapolis Stick-Up, Chumley got killed. Tennessee then reveals Scotty is the one who shot him, much to the horror of Shoeshine and Polly.

Scotty apologizes and notes that it was an accident and after he killed Chumley, he left the gang. But Tennessee doesn't forgive him. Shoeshine yells at him and causes Tennessee to panic. Polly takes him to Shoeshine's bed.
