Without asking me. Sure pops I knew you'd say yes. Now that's the end of the first two chapters after this when a drive gets in Taxi goes to a house near an apartment building that's been cordoned off by the police he meets a policeman who doesn't like him but it gets past him as a younger woman policeman who who brings him in she's kind of enchanted with him a lot of people are enchanted with him because they're by things he's like you know the center of all crime in New York. He gets there in the room the apartments filled with police and there's a a woman a dead woman on the floor with half her face shot off and there's a black man with a knife in his chest through his heart. There's no gun however and the police they don't like Linnet and they they're there. From that moment on he's considered somehow involved in this crime just because he walked through the door that's that's the beginning of this book.

But but the but the truth is is that the world is is changing radically and how we deal with that world is is is very very interesting and I believe you know for me you know for the last 40 years America has been doing the wrong things often not always but often doing the wrong things. And now all of a sudden the past couple of years we've decided to turn around and try to start doing the right thing. You know and I think like you know most people like me they think boy it's almost impossible after messing up for 40 years after fucking for 40 years how do you do the right thing you know. It's like yeah well I've been killing people for the last 40 years now I want to now want to go straight to it. There is no

going straight after you've been killing people for 40 years. Linnet has this discussion with Bush you know he says you know maybe we should you know have some justice you know to turn ourselves in is that it does no justice.
