A little tag to the last chapter.

Not One

Afterwards they talked about the case and a job well done. I wanted to shake them. To shout, "Didn't you see? Didn't you look into his eyes and see the utter hopelessness? Didn't you see his eyes pleading with you for help--for understanding?"

One even had the nerve to remark that he hoped Lash had went to Hell. Little did he know that David had already been there. If one of them had seen... If one of them had noticed... If one of them had grieved for the loss of a life... I would have told them. I would have told them how David was finally free now. Maybe I would have even told them about me. But not one one of them had noticed. Not one.
