Innocent Until Proven Otherwise — Chapter 6 — Consideration
Hands in pockets, out of respect for Freddy. For the big guy, no consideration at all.
Freddy has a black eye and a lot of anger at two guys. Jack swears they never laid a finger on him.
I put my hands in my pockets, like I always do, out of courtesy and respect. I decided in my heart that the boy had suffered enough for one night. He didn't need any more suffering, least of all the physical kind.
He came from the left. I slipped to the right.
Then came the big guy who had pointed at me. And the big guy I owed no consideration whatsoever. I didn't even know him.
