What could the punishment have been? They still seemed on good terms w/ the way he called her "my dear" at the negotiations before the war. Eh?

And another thing. if they did tell the truth, and it was all good that it happened and the punishment wasn't severe (or existent) for loosing the tanker, well, eff them for needlessly killin off charlie. did he deserve that? that was some cold hard pooh scratch was slangin at him to cover their tracks. ]
Latch and Scratch could have simply said they encountered someone in their territory and they were lucky to escape. They don't even need to mention they already had the tanker...it actually could help the ruse that Charlie screwed up. "we told you those guys were around, how could you fall asleep etc etc"
