color="#E5E5E5">you heard that right</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> not he always loved</font> through<font color="#CCCCCC"> beers</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> not even that he always</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">wanted</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> be a superhero</font> he had a costume<font color="#E5E5E5"> a mask when we were in</font> middle<font color="#E5E5E5"> school</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and had been crusading</font> around the neighbor to stop a crime<font color="#E5E5E5"> all</font> the way till I was<font color="#E5E5E5"> a sophomore in high</font> school<font color="#E5E5E5"> I'm sure you've heard</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> about</font> people<font color="#E5E5E5"> like this in the news</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and like</font> the<font color="#E5E5E5"> people in</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> that</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> movie kick-ass Gavin</font> and I lived in<font color="#CCCCCC"> the same</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> cloud projects</font> and even<font color="#E5E5E5"> though I</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> doubt he helped in any</font> way<font color="#E5E5E5"> there was a lot of crime</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and drug</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">dealing to</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> go around the most difficult</font> thing for Gavin<font color="#CCCCCC"> I think was that we</font> lived in<font color="#E5E5E5"> Minnesota the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> state that</font> doesn't<font color="#E5E5E5"> allow wearing masks in public</font> while most<font color="#CCCCCC"> big cops that come around</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> our</font> neighborhood laughter<font color="#CCCCCC"> Gavin and his</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">masked antics there was one cop they</font> would have none of it<font color="#CCCCCC"> officer Mitchell</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">now he had a real hard-on for</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> jamming</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> or</font> the depths as he<font color="#E5E5E5"> called his</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> alter-ego</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">and would always demand he take the mask</font> off<font color="#CCCCCC"> and not go around disguised in</font> public more on him<font color="#E5E5E5"> later</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> in truth</font> Gavin's outfit was pretty sweet<font color="#E5E5E5"> it was</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">all black</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the fabric was</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> flowing but not</font> too baggy<font color="#E5E5E5"> and the mask was</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> made</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> of his</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">tough black plastic</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> it looked</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> kind of</font> like a skull<font color="#E5E5E5"> and the eye lenses were a</font> piercing silver tint<font color="#E5E5E5"> he'd actually been</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">working on it for</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> over a year every</font> night after<font color="#E5E5E5"> school instead of hanging</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">out or doing his homework he'd go into</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">the basement</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and sew</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> up his costume</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I</font> kept telling me to<font color="#E5E5E5"> just buy a Halloween</font> getup from Kmart<font color="#CCCCCC"> which would</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> be a lot</font> less traceable but he insisted<font color="#CCCCCC"> on making</font> his own as<font color="#E5E5E5"> you can probably gather he</font> was big into<font color="#E5E5E5"> Batman just like the</font> character would only work at night<font color="#E5E5E5"> this</font> helped him avoid<font color="#E5E5E5"> officer</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> Mitchell a few</font> times when<font color="#E5E5E5"> being chased down so he</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">wouldn't be unmasked yeah if it was</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> fit</font> camouflage for the dark alleyways a lot of people including<font color="#E5E5E5"> teachers and most of</font> the grown-ups<font color="#CCCCCC"> in</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the projects</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> that</font> figure that<font color="#E5E5E5"> Gavin</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> was mentally unstable</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">or retarded I never thought</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> that was</font> accurate<font color="#CCCCCC"> though well if I'm being</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">totally fair Gavin was an average</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> Lea</font> smart kid who was just<font color="#CCCCCC"> preoccupied with</font> things<font color="#E5E5E5"> that</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> took away from</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> him ever</font> getting good grades<font color="#E5E5E5"> or learning</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> anything</font> that would get<font color="#E5E5E5"> him a job and</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> he wasn't</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">crazy he</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> just</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> well been through a lot</font> his parents<font color="#E5E5E5"> divorced when he was five</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">before you dismiss this experience as</font> just<font color="#CCCCCC"> another typical 21st century</font> reality you<font color="#E5E5E5"> should know that his father</font> was in deep gambling debt and his mother was hooked on crack from the Minneapolis <font color="#CCCCCC">Scripps</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> College you imagine how this all</font> played out<font color="#CCCCCC"> for young Gavin when the</font> three<font color="#E5E5E5"> of them were living under the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> same</font> roof<font color="#E5E5E5"> they didn't so much divorces they</font> separated<font color="#E5E5E5"> and really neither of them was</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">fit to raise gaming so he went to live</font> with<font color="#E5E5E5"> his grandfather</font> when his grandpa croaked he went into foster<font color="#E5E5E5"> homes</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> getting</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> passed along seven</font> times in four years<font color="#E5E5E5"> he eventually landed</font> back in<font color="#CCCCCC"> st. cloud</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> with his older third</font> cousin Howie<font color="#CCCCCC"> twice removed how</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> he did</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">shift work at a supermarket warehouse</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">didn't have much time or patience for</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">Gavin so you can imagine what their</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">relationship</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> was like</font> I actually<font color="#CCCCCC"> remember going</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> along with the</font> cabin<font color="#E5E5E5"> or</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> their depths a few times</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> when</font> he scoured the streets<font color="#CCCCCC"> at night</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> for</font> trouble<font color="#CCCCCC"> I don't know why but but for</font> some reason he<font color="#CCCCCC"> was never</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> bothered</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> with</font> me<font color="#E5E5E5"> knowing his secret identity in truth</font> when he<font color="#CCCCCC"> live in the ghetto</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> there's</font> little your neighbors<font color="#E5E5E5"> don't know about</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">you</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> anyway</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I remember one night I tagged</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">along with</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the depths after we'd hurt</font> news<font color="#CCCCCC"> of a serial rapist in the area I</font> wasn't in costume but he was as well as <font color="#CCCCCC">Derwood his sidekick no trying to be a</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">superhero</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> in real life is pretty</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">pathetic</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> but</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> being</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the sidekick</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> to a</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">faux superhero that's got to be the</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">shits</font> we mostly drank coffee and<font color="#E5E5E5"> soda freezing</font> our balls off on a street corner<font color="#CCCCCC"> and</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">spying on the opposite sides looking for</font> anything suspicious now<font color="#CCCCCC"> Durr wouldn't I after an hour and a</font> half that<font color="#CCCCCC"> had enough</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> there was nothing</font> there except a few drunks<font color="#E5E5E5"> ranting</font> crazies<font color="#E5E5E5"> maybe a hooker in a long trench</font> coat the depths however refused to call it a night insisting we'd find the rapist not long after<font color="#CCCCCC"> we saw this tall man</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> wearing baggy</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">layered clothing he kept circling the</font> block<font color="#E5E5E5"> over</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and over again that guy keeps</font> circling back<font color="#CCCCCC"> Gavan hissed</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> through his</font> mask <font color="#E5E5E5">Derwood and</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> i looked at</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> each other and</font> even<font color="#E5E5E5"> though we weren't</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> friends</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> we could</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">read the concern panic in the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> other's</font> eyes<font color="#E5E5E5"> I think we both knew</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> this shit</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> was</font> about<font color="#E5E5E5"> to hit the fan</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> when</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> we heard</font> Gavin's paper cup hit the sidewalk Gavan like a shadow crossing your room when a car goes by at night<font color="#CCCCCC"> lurch</font> forward and ran to<font color="#CCCCCC"> the other side</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> he got</font> right<font color="#CCCCCC"> up and grabbed the guy by the</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">lapels of his coat</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> yelling at him</font> demanding to know<font color="#E5E5E5"> his</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> whereabouts on</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">such-and-such</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> a date</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> a struggle ensued I</font> watched from<font color="#E5E5E5"> the other side paralyzed</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">what stood</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> next to me</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> like a statue a</font> fist flew from the man<font color="#E5E5E5"> and he shouted</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">fucks with you freak</font> get the fuck off<font color="#CCCCCC"> gavin then retaliated</font> while at one of those karate punches he taught himself from<font color="#CCCCCC"> online videos</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and it</font> did<font color="#CCCCCC"> Rock the guy back a few steps</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">next thing I saw him wrote a swell of</font> feverish<font color="#E5E5E5"> heat bubbling to my otherwise</font> shivering<font color="#E5E5E5"> body from out of the guy's</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">deep pocket he brought a gleaming Li</font> silver<font color="#CCCCCC"> snub nose revolver</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> he pointed it</font> tilted it to the side of Gavin's head get the<font color="#E5E5E5"> fuck off me</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> bro</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> Gavin didn't</font> move<font color="#E5E5E5"> and I thought then</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> that it was over</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">but he suddenly reached up and grabbed</font> the<font color="#CCCCCC"> guy by</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the wrist in the wrist of the</font> hand holding the<font color="#CCCCCC"> gun I sung</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> back into</font> the<font color="#E5E5E5"> shadows</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and heaved watching the</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> gray</font> barrel<font color="#CCCCCC"> Teeter and</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> sway in several</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">directions as the two of them grappled</font> for it without<font color="#CCCCCC"> a word durwood ran</font> forward to the scene I<font color="#E5E5E5"> watched in abject</font> horror<font color="#E5E5E5"> as he got closer</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to the point</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> of</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">the flaying firearm I sunk deeper into</font> the darkness<font color="#CCCCCC"> I then left</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and wax cold</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">upon the thunder of</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the guns shots</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font> bullet ricocheted<font color="#CCCCCC"> across the concrete</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">and the weapon fell from the man's hand</font> is both<font color="#CCCCCC"> gavin and durwood pushed him to</font> the<font color="#E5E5E5"> ground</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I don't know if it</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> was a</font> second<font color="#CCCCCC"> person or the gun firing but the</font> man scrambled to his feet and scampered away <font color="#E5E5E5">I watched the two of them panting Gavin</font> much more than durwood then before<font color="#E5E5E5"> they</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">walked</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> back across the road</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">durwood stooped down and pick something</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">up from the sidewalk when they brought</font> it over<font color="#CCCCCC"> we saw that it was a small</font> plastic packet of meth the guy had been a drug<font color="#CCCCCC"> dealer which would</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> explain why</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">he'd been circling the block over and</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">over the elusive serial rapist was never</font> found durwood seemed the most embarrassed about<font color="#E5E5E5"> the debacle</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">Gavan figured he'd still stopped</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">injustice</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> me</font> I stopped<font color="#E5E5E5"> tagging along but I do know</font> that<font color="#E5E5E5"> most of his Crusades ended up in</font> street fights <font color="#CCCCCC">Sammy lost some</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> he won sometimes he get</font> unmasked but when I was<font color="#E5E5E5"> okay they didn't</font> know who he<font color="#CCCCCC"> was anyway I stopped</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> paying</font> much attention<font color="#E5E5E5"> around</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> this</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> time I was</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">starting</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to think ahead a little bit I</font> was going<font color="#E5E5E5"> into high school</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and wasn't</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">too glad</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to be put into the</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> lowest set</font> of class in one of the worst schools in the city<font color="#E5E5E5"> Gavin wasn't going to high</font> school<font color="#E5E5E5"> he was instead focusing on his</font> crime-fighting<font color="#E5E5E5"> career truth is he was</font> terribly behaved<font color="#E5E5E5"> and was probably</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">suffering from undiagnosed</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> ADHD in</font> retrospect our school<font color="#E5E5E5"> just couldn't</font> support him the worst came about when <font color="#E5E5E5">Gavin collected up his paper route money</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">and</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> Christmas cash and some pilfered</font> dollars from how his wallet I suspect and bought a police radio<font color="#E5E5E5"> like the</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">karate moves he taught himself he soon</font> figured out what each<font color="#CCCCCC"> of the coded</font> numbers<font color="#E5E5E5"> stood for three days after this</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">purchase our projects got introduced to</font> officer<font color="#CCCCCC"> Mitchell</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> he went</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> door-to-door</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">with a sketch of the mass that Gavin</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">Wars the</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> deaths</font> luckily<font color="#E5E5E5"> for Gavin</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> no</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> one in the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> projects</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">talks to cops especially when it's</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> about</font> someone<font color="#E5E5E5"> who lives there this usually</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">applies to drug dealers</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and gangsters</font> but<font color="#CCCCCC"> they didn't</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> make an exception</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> for a</font> mildly disturbed<font color="#CCCCCC"> who would be</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> superhero</font> officer Mitchell<font color="#E5E5E5"> came to my door last</font> my mother who was<font color="#E5E5E5"> home told him she'd</font> never seen anyone wearing that mask <font color="#E5E5E5">before but called me over to take a look</font> Mitchell had told her that he<font color="#E5E5E5"> believed</font> the<font color="#CCCCCC"> suspect was a child I took a look</font> and<font color="#E5E5E5"> immediately recognized the skeletal</font> quality of the mask<font color="#E5E5E5"> regardless I shook</font> my<font color="#E5E5E5"> head</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> no</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the officer then kneeled down</font> and<font color="#E5E5E5"> looked me into the eyes he smelt</font> like<font color="#CCCCCC"> burnt</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> coffee</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> sweats</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> his</font> face was puffy<font color="#E5E5E5"> and his eyes were cold</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">shifty</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> you sure about that son no idea</font> who this character<font color="#CCCCCC"> could be again I</font> shook my<font color="#E5E5E5"> head</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> no he then stood up</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and</font> adjusted his uniform<font color="#CCCCCC"> and thank my mother</font> he left<font color="#CCCCCC"> but I knew that</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> he</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> knew I</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> was</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">lying</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I felt a chill and</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> go out my spine</font> and it lingered there<font color="#E5E5E5"> long after he'd</font> left<font color="#E5E5E5"> after that and with much prodding</font> from<font color="#E5E5E5"> me and durwood's</font> Gavin finally decided to stop<font color="#E5E5E5"> going out</font> at night<font color="#E5E5E5"> all right he told us I'll wait</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">for something bigger with a radio</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> this</font> wasn't exactly reassuring<font color="#E5E5E5"> well was</font> enough to<font color="#E5E5E5"> settle my nerves for</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the time</font> being one night the three of us<font color="#E5E5E5"> were hanging</font> out in Howie's cramped basement<font color="#E5E5E5"> playing</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">xbox and sipping on</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> some of the</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> canned</font> beer from the fridge<font color="#CCCCCC"> the police radio</font> occasionally buzzing in<font color="#CCCCCC"> the background</font> after<font color="#E5E5E5"> we got to the penultimate level of</font> the game<font color="#E5E5E5"> the radio buzzed rather loudly</font> with<font color="#E5E5E5"> car 64 be advised</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">261</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and possible 2 1 7 in progress</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> on</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">Yonge</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and

color="#E5E5E5"> my head</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> was turned</font> what's up<font color="#CCCCCC"> Goering Shh he hissed</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> then</font> promptly put his ear back to the radio <font color="#E5E5E5">there's a rape happening</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> ten blocks from</font> us at that<font color="#CCCCCC"> moment I</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> felt cold wash over</font> me<font color="#CCCCCC"> I turned off the game and listened</font> with<font color="#E5E5E5"> him several minutes crawl by of</font> nothing<font color="#E5E5E5"> just the low frizzled of

in</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> his face</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">i could</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> feel the eyes of our block</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">peering heavier on both of them

color="#CCCCCC"> okay I</font> thought at the<font color="#CCCCCC"> time the whole thing was</font> over looking<font color="#E5E5E5"> back I now know how wrong I</font> was the next day<font color="#E5E5E5"> I invited Gavin over</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and</font> the two of us hung out in my<font color="#CCCCCC"> room</font> we were there to<font color="#CCCCCC"> play cards but mostly</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> I</font> needed to know<font color="#E5E5E5"> what had happened the</font> first thing I asked about<font color="#E5E5E5"> was the shiner</font> <font

color="#E5E5E5"> no this</font> was from one<font color="#CCCCCC"> of the rapists but this I</font> must have<font color="#E5E5E5"> looked at Gavin with complete</font> confusion<font color="#E5E5E5"> he then relayed to me how</font> there have been more<font color="#CCCCCC"> than</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> one rapist</font> murderer<font color="#E5E5E5"> that they had in fact been five</font> maybe<font color="#CCCCCC"> 10 were involved in the killing of</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">the girl gang rape is the term he used I</font> swear to you<font color="#CCCCCC"> Corrie</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> there's literally</font> hundreds<font color="#E5E5E5"> of them</font> what do you mean his eyes shifted to my door perhaps checking that it was closed <font color="#E5E5E5">then he leaned in close</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and said the</font> blacks my heart started pounding in my chest<font color="#E5E5E5"> was I really hearing this he then</font> taught me how<font color="#CCCCCC"> John Dyke at whose house</font> he had stayed on<font color="#E5E5E5"> his two-week hunt</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> had</font> told him<font color="#E5E5E5"> about the

killed<font color="#E5E5E5"> hadn't even been white</font> I'm not going to bother fighting<font color="#E5E5E5"> street</font> crime<font color="#E5E5E5"> anymore</font> he lectured on the real

when I checked</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> my email</font> accounts<font color="#CCCCCC"> I saw that there</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> was a message</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">from</font><font

was</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> as simple hey</font> how's it going he<font color="#CCCCCC"> even asked</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> me</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> about</font> what<font color="#CCCCCC"> homework was like in freshman year</font> nothing<font color="#CCCCCC"> to do with what had transpired</font> between Gavin and me at all please with the friendly hello<font

there was a reply</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and we ended up</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">chatting into the late evening</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> till</font> midnight we<font color="#E5E5E5"> continued</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> doing this over</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> next</font> couple<font color="#E5E5E5"> of nights and actually started</font>

color="#CCCCCC"> I</font> had a new friend without completely <font color="#E5E5E5">separating myself from my past circle</font> over the<font color="#CCCCCC"> next</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> month</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I found</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> out he and I</font> had a lot in common<font color="#E5E5E5"> one Friday night</font> when we were munching<font color="#E5E5E5"> on nachos and</font> cheese at the<font color="#E5E5E5"> local</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> arcade</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> he confided</font> in me what it was<font color="#E5E5E5"> like being</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> Gavin's</font> psychic<font color="#CCCCCC"> it was freaking horrible man he</font> commiserated shaking his head which was <font color="#CCCCCC">hanging very low everything he wanted to</font> do<font color="#E5E5E5"> since he was five and I was</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> three</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and</font> I'd had to go<font color="#E5E5E5"> along with it he wanted to</font> play<font color="#E5E5E5"> Lone Ranger</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">I was Tonto</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and any bullshit</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> adventure</font> he wanted to do I got stuck tagging along<font color="#CCCCCC"> he interrupted</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> himself with a</font> joyless cough did he<font color="#E5E5E5"> ever tell</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> you about</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">the time when he</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> was nine</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and he wanted</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">to live out in the wilderness so he made</font> me<font color="#CCCCCC"> go with him to camp out in</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the woods</font> at Barret<font color="#E5E5E5"> Park shit by the time they</font> found<font color="#E5E5E5"> us I had poison</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> ivy all over</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> my</font> arms and had eaten<font color="#E5E5E5"> a god damn grew up</font> yeah well why did<font color="#E5E5E5"> you go along with him</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I</font> asked how<font color="#CCCCCC"> do you</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> two end up even as</font> friends<font color="#E5E5E5"> because he said with long</font> emphasis his mom went to<font color="#E5E5E5"> school with my</font> mom<font color="#E5E5E5"> I guess she felt

for the initial</font> relationship<font color="#E5E5E5"> but I mean I began again</font> why did<font color="#CCCCCC"> you just do whatever he said</font> here I have to do what<font color="#E5E5E5"> he wants</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> but</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> just</font> because<font color="#CCCCCC"> he's your friend or your mom</font> wants you<font color="#CCCCCC"> to I mean you're your own</font> person<font color="#E5E5E5"> he then</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> hid his eyes behind his</font> hands<font color="#CCCCCC"> I soon realized</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> he was holding his</font> hand<font color="#E5E5E5"> looking as if</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> he was about to be</font> sick<font color="#CCCCCC"> I then heard him say in a weak weak</font> voice there's more

indicating the call<font color="#E5E5E5"> had ended</font> having all this time to wait my mind <font color="#E5E5E5">whirling from this sudden revelation</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I</font> searched<font color="#E5E5E5"> the internet on my phone not</font> long<font color="#E5E5E5"> after I found a news article titled</font> st. cloud cop slain by masked man which was complete with a video apparently officer<font color="#CCCCCC"> Mitchell and</font> responded<font color="#E5E5E5"> to a robbery that took place</font> at a convenience store<font color="#CCCCCC"> I watched the</font> video it was from a security camera videotaping the outside of a storefront I could see<font color="#CCCCCC"> even in the grainy quality</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">and the microscopic screen of my phone</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">one of the windows have been broken just</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">then as officer Mitchell was walking out</font> for the front door<font color="#CCCCCC"> I saw it</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the shadow</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">moving fast right toward him he turned</font> his head<font color="#E5E5E5"> just</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> before the figure

color="#E5E5E5"> been stabbed with a knife and</font> then<font color="#E5E5E5"> washed in absolute horror as the</font> cop<font color="#E5E5E5"> reached for his gun holster and the</font> darkly veiled figure granted it to<font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font> two of them<font color="#E5E5E5"> struggling until there was a</font> sudden<font color="#E5E5E5"> flash and the officer lay</font> motionless on<font color="#CCCCCC"> the ground a spray</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> of dark</font> fluid<font color="#E5E5E5"> staining the concrete behind his</font> head figure then shot this lifeless person twice more<font color="#CCCCCC"> before dropping</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font> revolver and<font color="#E5E5E5"> turning to leave as it</font> turned a pause the video the face<font color="#CCCCCC"> was</font> covered<font color="#E5E5E5"> in a black skeletal</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> mass with</font> piercing silver tinted eyes the same one from Gavin's costume Gavin still hadn't arrived<font color="#E5E5E5"> unsure how</font> many<font color="#E5E5E5"> knew the costume was his I quickly</font> dialed 9-1-1<font color="#E5E5E5"> when Gavin got to my

color="#CCCCCC">water</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and sat him down on my bed he then</font> told<font color="#E5E5E5"> me the story in</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> his own</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> words</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">listen</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> last night</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I was at</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> home</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> okay</font> I've been<font color="#CCCCCC"> out on patrol for a long long</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">while</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> hunt caught a cold so for the last</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">few</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> days I've been</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> in bed</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> Milotic</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> Gavin</font> closely I could tell he wasn't sick you said you weren't going on patrol anymore<font color="#CCCCCC"> I deliberated each word</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> yeah</font> yeah<font color="#E5E5E5"> he snapped hastily but they're two</font> fugitives<font color="#E5E5E5"> reported the news was</font> suspected of<font color="#E5E5E5"> being</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> in sync loud</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">I'd heard nothing of this</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I saw</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font> video I told him the guy was wearing <font color="#CCCCCC">your costume</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> that's the thing</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">Gavin begged reaching up at me</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">grabbing my shirt I haven't worn that</font> costume in months now I swear to<font color="#E5E5E5"> God</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I</font> threw it<font color="#E5E5E5"> out in the trash</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I told you</font> John and I were focusing on organizing strikes against immigrants who had taken our jobs<font color="#CCCCCC"> sure I</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> wasn't gonna go out</font> busting heads no more<font color="#E5E5E5"> and here's the</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">other crazy thing there's no way I could</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">have</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> known that a robbery had taken</font> place<font color="#E5E5E5"> then I listened analyzing</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> each</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">word he had mentioned details about the</font> case<font color="#CCCCCC"> that I knew</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> from the news reports</font> but<font color="#E5E5E5"> of course he would he'd probably see</font> in the same news story which is why he <font color="#E5E5E5">was panicked still that's the thing he</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">rambled on his eyes wide pulling harder</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">on my shirt three days ago</font> my police radio went missing I don't know where it is<font color="#CCCCCC"> I put my hands on his</font> arms and<font color="#E5E5E5"> tried</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to ease them off of them</font> just then<font color="#E5E5E5"> there came a hard echoing not</font> from the<font color="#CCCCCC"> front door police open</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> up Gavin</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">swiveled his head in the direction of</font> the<font color="#E5E5E5"> sound he turned to look at me and</font> seemed<font color="#E5E5E5"> to search my face before</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">springing up</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> to look out of the window</font> police he muttered<font color="#E5E5E5"> and his voice carried</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">just enough for me to hear</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> it</font> but how he then turned<font color="#E5E5E5"> I stood up I was</font> ready<font color="#CCCCCC"> to dash out</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the room but for</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> some</font> reason<font color="#E5E5E5"> I couldn't you</font> he yelled<font color="#E5E5E5"> pointing his finger accusingly</font> at<font color="#E5E5E5"> me</font> he caught<font color="#CCCCCC"> the cops</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> I just stood there</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">stupid and silent</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> holding my arms up to</font> try and gesture for<font color="#E5E5E5"> him to</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> become</font> without another second<font color="#E5E5E5"> of hesitation he</font> sprang on me<font color="#E5E5E5"> and began hitting me in the</font> side with his knees and fists my life flashed before my eyes<font color="#CCCCCC"> as did</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font> thought<font color="#CCCCCC"> that I was alone</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> with a killer</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">help</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I screamed</font> hoping the<font color="#E5E5E5"> police outside would hear me</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">hell i wailed</font> I was soon cut off by a blow to the<font color="#E5E5E5"> jaw</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">I raised my hands defensively over my</font> head and curled up trying<font color="#E5E5E5"> to block his</font> blows that was<font color="#E5E5E5"> striking down hard all</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">over my body I didn't</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> hear the front</font> door get broken<font color="#CCCCCC"> down</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> or even</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> my bedroom</font> door slam open but I did hear Gavin scream as<font color="#CCCCCC"> he was pulled off by two</font> police<font color="#CCCCCC"> officers they then proceeded to</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">pin him to</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> floor and cuff his hands</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">my skin was throbbing</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> from the speed of</font> my pulse<font color="#E5E5E5"> and</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I didn't feel any pain</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">though in</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> truth I was pretty badly</font> beaten up they<font color="#E5E5E5"> hauled Gavin off kicking</font> and screaming explaining he was under arrest<font color="#E5E5E5"> for the murder of a police</font> officer sergeant<font color="#E5E5E5"> Jerome Fergus Mitchell</font> it didn't take<font color="#E5E5E5"> him</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> long to find</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> Gavin</font> guilty they found the costume<font color="#E5E5E5"> in</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the</font> trash in front<font color="#CCCCCC"> of his house</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> although</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> he</font> swore to God he'd gotten rid of<font color="#E5E5E5"> it well</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">before the murder took place beyond that</font> they had motive<font color="#E5E5E5"> everyone in the projects</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">has seen</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> Gavin berated</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> by Mitchell Manu</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">what being a costume</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> Crusader had meant</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">to him still it was like pulling teeth</font> to get people to testify<font color="#E5E5E5"> only</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> thing was</font> they<font color="#E5E5E5"> never found his police radio</font> Gavin's court-appointed lawyer<font color="#E5E5E5"> tried to</font> use this<font color="#E5E5E5"> fact</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to raise doubts since the</font> prosecution kept arguing<font color="#CCCCCC"> that Gavin had</font> been known<font color="#E5E5E5"> to have a police radio which</font> would explain<font color="#E5E5E5"> how</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> he knew the robbery</font> took place<font color="#E5E5E5"> and how he knew</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> officer</font> Mitchell<font color="#E5E5E5"> would be there since he knew</font> his car number<font color="#E5E5E5"> they ended up</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> trying him</font> as an adult<font color="#CCCCCC"> and gave him 25 to life I</font> couldn't<font color="#CCCCCC"> believe this had happened to</font> him<font color="#E5E5E5"> even with what he had done Christ he</font> wasn't even 16 by the time I was nearly done<font color="#E5E5E5"> high school the entire</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> neighborhood</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">had forgotten about Gavin it was pretty</font> much taboo to talk<font color="#E5E5E5"> about him and even</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">durwood and I avoided the subject but</font> honestly with time we didn't care<font color="#E5E5E5"> we'd</font> both turn things around when durwood finished middle<font color="#CCCCCC"> school</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> he</font> went<font color="#CCCCCC"> to</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the same high</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> school I did which</font> made school so much better<font color="#E5E5E5"> since</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I had</font> my<font color="#E5E5E5"> best friend to hang out with by the</font> time<font color="#CCCCCC"> I was</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> in my senior year</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> we both</font> joined<font color="#E5E5E5"> a few school clubs no teams on a</font> friend<font color="#CCCCCC"> but started a games</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> Club</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> of her</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">own</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and after</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> moving</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> up to some college</font> prep classes my grades were finally improving I'd attended a<font color="#CCCCCC"> koreas workshop and have made</font> up my<font color="#CCCCCC"> mind to</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> go into an apprenticeship</font> program<font color="#CCCCCC"> for electricians</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> they would ask</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">me</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> about it later and decided that he</font> would do the same<font color="#CCCCCC"> thing after he</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">graduated the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> summer</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> after my senior</font> year<font color="#CCCCCC"> Jared</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and his mother were moving</font> out to Minneapolis I was sad<font color="#CCCCCC"> to see him</font> go<font color="#CCCCCC"> but</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> I could understand that maybe it</font> was the best<font color="#E5E5E5"> for him to</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> leave all the</font> bitter memories behind the day he<font color="#E5E5E5"> was</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> going to move I helped</font> him hack around<font color="#CCCCCC"> lunchtime we were in his</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">room</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> all of</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> his</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> things in tiny cardboard</font> cubes<font color="#E5E5E5"> around us we took a break as we</font> were both beat then his<font color="#CCCCCC"> mum called him</font> and asked<font color="#CCCCCC"> for me to wait for</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> him after</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> a</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">few minutes I got bored and tried to</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">lift a few more boxes now all of the</font> boxes have<font color="#CCCCCC"> been lined up until now</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">mostly filled with clothes</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and this</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> box</font> I lifted was unexpectedly heavy and when I<font color="#E5E5E5"> eased it off the stack it fell from</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> my</font> grip and<font color="#E5E5E5"> crash to the floor the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> Co top</font> opened up on<font color="#E5E5E5"> impact and all the items</font> spilled out on the<font color="#E5E5E5"> carpets</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I rushed</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> to</font> get everything back<font color="#E5E5E5"> in</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the box</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">and that's when I saw what a given is so</font> much weight<font color="#E5E5E5"> a black metallic radio it</font> was<font color="#CCCCCC"> a police radio</font> Gavin's<font color="#CCCCCC"> police radio the same one he</font> swore gone missing three days<font color="#CCCCCC"> before the</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">murder took place</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I said that staring at</font> it<font color="#CCCCCC"> I then heard
