Testing Faith

I'm not proud of myself. Nor, of what I have done and what I have become. I thought that it was something that I could control. But, all too soon, I found that it got out of hand. It had gotten out of hand and I didn't realize it until it was too late.
Suddenly you find yourself caught in this massive undertow that keeps pulling you farther and farther down towards the bottom. No matter how much kicking and digging you do to reach the top again, you ultimately come to the realization that it is too late. You are drowning. Your mind goes blank when you can't breathe anymore, yet, unconsciously, there is always a last ditch attempt to bring yourself up. For me, well, let's just say that it was my only chance. What I did was absolutely necessary.
I know that I am probably driving you crazy with wonder as to what I am talking about. And I sympathize with you. So, I will begin my story by telling you that Officer Boscorelli and I are no longer partners. He has been, full-time, upstairs in Anti-Crime for about six months now. I am happy for him, I really am. It's what he wanted. Although, I know that he secretly misses the atmosphere of the streets that we once shared together.
Now, don't get me wrong. Nothing has changed in our relationship. He is still my best friend and I, despite the recent events, am still his. He visits me at least once a day, sometimes two or three times. He says that he still would, even if it wasn't so convenient.
That's right. Convenient.
If you haven't figured it out by now, I am in jail. I have been for a week now. It's strange to be in here with the same people you take off the streets everyday. My cellmate, Janica, was someone that Mitchell and I picked up about three weeks ago for armed robbery of a convenience store. So far, she's been a pretty good sport about it, although she never misses an opportunity to tease. I never thought I would say this, but it's nice to have a friend in here.
I'm smiling at your curiosity as to who Mitchell is. Well, you'll find out soon enough. Be patient. That is the lesson that I learned from all of this. Patience. It's an underestimated virtue. Eagerness is a weakness. Perhaps if I had been patient, things would have been different.
