Chapter 4: Fin
Takes place a few days after the episode.
Well, I got the news today. Pam Adler plea-bargained down to twenty years.
I guess I should feel sorry for the poor boy. Or I should be glad that some form of justice was meted out to each of his attackers.
But really, I'm just glad to have Pam Adler behind bars. That bitchy attorney had the nerve to accuse me of police brutality against some drugged-up gang-banger who should have been shot to death soon as he harmed that officer.
Heh. Revenge is sweet.
I don't know, having grown up in a tough environment, if I would have taken something like what happened to Pete that seriously. That is, if it had happened before I was a cop. Some things people just have to learn to live with, you know? So they violated you? Join the club. No sympathy here. But now, it's my job, and I even sort of feel sorry for the guy.
Soft. Maybe I've gotten soft. Maybe everyone has, living in this modern world.
Oh, well. Pam Adler can go to hell. I can't say that I'm sorry to her lily-white rear-end in prison. She and all of the perps she got off can rot, for all I care.
I hear she wants to try to start up some sort of legal association in prison. Once a lawyer, always a lawyer, I suppose.
I wish I had more to say, but I don't.
