I don't mean to blame you JB: I don't mind. It's like you said. (page) JB: Stay calm, Roy JB: You can kill them, but it won't bring Michelle's self-respect back Roy: Michelle... she screamed...

(page) JB: It'll cost you Roy: My hands shook. I was thinking that I'd never held a gun in my life Roy: If Michelle had had a gun with her for protection and been able to shoot, she might have got away Roy: Even if I'd been there myself, with more than one opponent it'd still have happened. Roy: And if I'd been there with a gun, it'd probably have ended even worse (page) Roy: Something Jack taught me- if there's a gun aimed at you it's already too late.
