Excerpt
“First of all, the shit that happened in Freeman was happening before I ever visited that town. The people in Freeman already had skeletons in their closets. Freeman is no different than here; in beautiful downtown Chicago. My, you are so clueless. You have no idea what’s going on, do you? Your woman has tried for a long time to keep her sanity and at the same time protect how you feel about your friend, the great Casey Mueller. Your best bud. Two of a kind. Can’t be separated! Twins! Pals! If you call that a friend, then you must have one hell of an enemy! I used to respect you a lot, Mr. Collier. All through my last year in school, I dreamed all of the time of meeting you again and looking up to the mentor I thought you were. Especially now that you cared enough about me to help me, but I see all that has changed. You are a blind man trying not to see something that is right in your face. Mieka has been hurting for a long time and it's not because of me, it’s because of your friend, Casey Mueller!”
