Had George finally found... «The Pale-Faced Lie»
cat_on_the_shelf22 января 2022Had George finally found him? “Sorry, Dad, I won’t let you down again.”
“You better not.” He studied the rearview mirror again. “You need to understand what San Quentin does to a man. First of all, it doesn’t make them sorry about a damn thing, except that they got caught. They just get smarter next time. But mostly, the Q makes them mean. The guy after me was stupid and told the cops and judge he wasn’t sorry. Idiot. You have to say you’re sorry even though you don’t mean it. He blames me for getting him into trouble and the years he spent in prison—and for having a violent felony on his record. He’s probably too stupid to lie about that and get away with it. Now the son of a bitch wants revenge.”
