As I sit in the back of this ridiculous car, I realize how stupid I've been. I can't see the forest for the trees. I laugh at the humor

in my statement and at the irony of my situation. As Hutchinson says goodbye to Jeanie, I have a few realizations. I never loved Jeanie.

She was a possession and I was angry that she'd been taken. How could a lowly cop take her from me. What could he offer her outside

of the sins of the flesh. He was weak as a kitten as he stood there, but I realized he'd never been stronger. With all the money and material

possessions I have, I was truly poor and I had underestimated his true worth. They say hindsight is 20/20 I know now what I wish I'd known then.

What I know now is that, I forgot one crucial thing, Starsky and their bond. Jeanie hadn't truly loved Hutchinson and he hadn't really loved her.

She saw a chance to be rescued and he saw someone needing rescuing. Even though I'd never felt true love, I knew it when I saw it. I saw and

felt it When Starsky asked Hutchinson if he wanted to drive his car and Hutchinson snorted a laugh in response. At that moment, I realized I was

already in a prison of my own. Nothing would hold Hutchinson hostage as long as he had Starsky and their true love.
