But you do look a little rough, as if you might cause trouble. He has a point. So do I. In fifteen goddamn towns this has happened to me. This is the last. I won’t be fucking shoved anymore. Why not explain that to him, clean yourself up a bit? Or do you want this trouble that’s coming? You’re hungry for some action, is that it? So you can show him your stuff? I don’t have to explain myself to him or anybody else. After what I’ve been through, I have a right without explanation. At least tell him about your medal, what it cost you.
