"What would you have me do?"
his voice became firmer as he spoke further. "Become a celebrity and bathe in riches? Perhaps become a true convict and kill for money? Or maybe you would have me challenge the Ascendancy himself?"
The heat in his voice faded like the sunset and he smiled once again. "If you have a suggestion, speak plainly."
I have had my fill of deception.
The thought was tempered by his resolve. San Quentin had taught him well.
