"You didn't tell me why you went to prison though," Cherry pointed out. "I fulfilled my end of the bargain."
"Oh, right. Second degree assault. I was following my boss's orders to beat someone up from a rival gang but it was a setup. He recorded the whole thing and used it against me. I got four years and was lucky I didn't get longer," Scott sighed.
"That sucks."
"Yep."
Cherry wouldn't have guessed that. He was always very gentle with her. His tough-guy image totally fit an assault charge though. She wondered if he got the tattoos in his old gang, in prison, or afterward.
She liked using fake tattoos for her various disguises but doubted she would ever find something she liked enough to commit to permanently. She enjoyed changing things up too much.
"It was my own dumb fault though and I learned my lesson from it," Scott said with a shrug. "Never again."
"So you wouldn't beat someone up to protect me?" Cherry teased.
