Id love to explain the sequence of events last Tuesday.Uh-huh. when do you start? A smiles shadow passes over her lips. A bitty chill like a worm burrows through me. and now these illegal drugs ??Awful catalog.Vernon. God knows I tried my best to learn the ways of this world. I know.

The one where the rookie cop decides whether to be a bag-man for bribes. Bothered folk are quick to judge. Im being indicted as an accessory to murder for chris-sakes ??Well dont cuss at your mother. Brown Wella Balsam hair licked her body all the way down to her buns. whatre you doing down here?Uh - looking for work. ehm - other boy ??A dizzy feeling comes over me as I hit the ring-end of my fucken tether.
