Charley had a cruel father. Once, Charley’s father had grabbed him behind the neck like a cat and lifted him off the ground, then slammed him down. Travis had seen it and challenged his dad to a fight. Another time, Travis had called the police, but nothing came of that except more hurt. Charley was fearless because he had no hope and Travis was fearless because he’d never been hurt. They figured out a way to kill Charley’s father.
