Besides, sometimes in life, you’ve
got to take a chance on something, or  
someone, because then if things go in  
the crapper, you’ve got someone to     
blame.                                 
     Ha, ha, just kidding about that   
last part.                             
     “Sure. Why not?” I told him, “but 
first you have to swear on those bun-  
nies’ souls.”                          
     Johnson laughed but still did it. 
     “I’m taking a hell of a chance    
here, but I think it’s worth it, and   
hopefully you don’t blow it for me,” he
said after the swearing in, and then   
lowered his voice even further.        
     “Ok. Here’s the scoop. There are  
some guys at the station that don’t    
give a shit about what you did. All    
they talk about is how you almost kil- 
* led a bunch of people, and I think one   
of them might even be the author of    
that blog piece.                       
     “I understand their logic, but I  
love animals more, and one thing I also
know is that so does the DA.           
     “Right now, he’s blinded by what  
you did before, and not what you did   
after. That blog piece probably didn’t 
help either.”                          
     He paused and waved someone off   
that I didn’t see, then turned back to 
me, “I’m going to do something so dra- 
matic, I don’t even want you to know   
what it is. You just have to trust me  
that it will definitely flip his mind.”
     “I don’t know why, but I think    
you’re one of the good guys, and be-   
sides, you did the soul swearing thing.
If things go south, though, I’m blaming
everything on you. That’s part of the  
deal, by the way.”
