this
big moving speech about duty and responsibility, how I’m the last person he
thought would ever quit or run away, and that he needed me.”
Colton
bristles at that.
“This
Mike, were you and he ever together?”
“Once,
only once, and it was a huge mistake. He’s married with kids. Oh God! We had
put this guy away and we had a little too much to drink and we made a mistake.
I made a mistake! God, can I be forgiven for one mistake? One fucking mistake!”
“Wow,
sounds like there’s still something there.”
“Not
on my part.”
“But
on his.”
I
nod.
“What’s
the second thing?” he says.
“Huh?”
“You
said there’s a second thing keeping you from arresting me.”
I
smile. “Well, there’s this guy.”
I
snuggle into him.
“Really?”
he says. “What guy?”
“A
guy I kind of like. Who is no criminal. ”
He
kisses me, then holds me for a while.
“But
there’s a missing piece,” I say. “He’s up to something. He steals all this
money in a good Robin-Hood kind of way, but I don’t know what he’s doing with
it. If only I knew, I think I might be able to have a ‘breakthrough’ like they
say and actually trust him.”
“You
want to know what he’s doing with the money he steals.”
“Yes.”
“Then
I guess it’s time he shows you.”
