"Sorry for Jack?" he thought for a moment, "can't say as i do. Had we not stopped him he would've killed that woman then an there. And if we let him live past that? who knows? He made it clear as to what he liked, and i don't think you want the details there. John always said give a man power an you'll see as to who he really is, an as soon as we was all in control he showed what he wanted."

A long pause followed, then a sigh, "nows far as the deputy is concerned...that one i think i do regret. been seein that little girls face a lot lately. damn near every kid in this towns startin to look like her. The fear, anger and sadness wrote all over em." He turned hie eyes toward the grate again as he spoke, "You ever watch the life leave a man's eyes? I used to think it were nothin. now i picture it an...well this gun on my hip aint never felt so heavy."
