“I wasn’t involved, Pop. I’m clean on this one.”
He shook his head. “You and I? We’re a lot alike. I raised you, remember? It isn’t over. If it was, you wouldn’t be here. Remember your training, don’t be driven by anger, and don’t get caught.”
I nodded. “Thanks.”
“Fucking judge gave some kid six months for raping a girl the other day. You see that shit on the news? She was incoherent and drunk, and the little prick raped her.”
I nodded. The case disgusted me. “Yes, Sir. I sure did.”
“When a man rapes a woman, he doesn’t just rape her. He rapes her entire life. She’s forced to live a life with the pain from that memory for a lifetime. And for that judge to send a message that six months in county jail is a fair trade for what happened to that woman?” He sat up in his chair, clenched his jaw, and took a long breath through his nose. “I’d like to get my hands on that judge and that kid.”
“You and me both, Pop.”
“I can forgive a lot of things. Rape isn’t one of ‘em.”
I didn’t want to talk about it any longer. The more I thought about it, the angrier I was becoming. I stood up. “Yeah? Me neither.”
He could tell my blood was boiling. After studying me for a moment, he lowered his chin slightly. “Love you, Son.”
“Love you, too.”
