CHAPTER 13

Miraculously I found myself looking to the sky. The sun, barely awake, peeked through a small cluster of clouds. Thanks to my parents using their house as collateral, I could now inhale my first breath of freedom after 28 months of incarceration. Though Butcher and his crooked cronies gave their best effort to screw me, I’d found a tiny loop hole in the system and somehow managed to slip through it.

As I walked across a two-lane back street, I recalled the time when alone in my prison cell, I fell to my knees and pleaded for help. The number of writs of habeas corpus granted, were like 1 out of 5 hundred filed. Did I believe in divine intervention? I wasn’t sure, but It felt like a greater force had heard my plea, not only heard it, but answered it.

I entered a small twenty-four-hour bail bonds office directly across from the Twin Towers Men’s Central Jail and asked to use the phone. Dee picked up on the first ring, “I’m on my way baby.”

In what seemed like only minutes, through a window clustered with a blinking neon sign, I watched as a beige Ford Contour pulled up to the curb, it was her. With nothing but the clothes on my back, I got in the tiny car and gave my new wife a kiss.

As we headed down the 60 freeway toward the city of La Habra, an occasional smile at each other took the place of words. After being locked up for 28 months I was more intrigued with the passing scenery then engaging in conversation. At that moment, just trying to digest all that had happened in the last month was mentally overwhelming. Yeah, she was beautiful alright, but the fact of the matter was, this jailhouse marriage had suddenly become an in your face move in relationship with a woman I barely knew. Due to my conditions of bail, I needed a permanent residence. My hands were tied, I had to make this relationship work.

We turned off Idaho Street into a mediocre condo complex quickly parking in a covered carport, then hiked up a flight of stairs to the second-floor condo. With all on my mind, I must have forgotten her mentioning two teenage boys, but I was quickly reminded when we opened the door. Greeted by blazing head-bashing music and the odor of marijuana, Dee pounded on the back-bedroom door yelling “turn down the music.” One by one, a group of red eyed teenage kids (boys and girls) came out and introduced themselves.

It wasn’t great, but it wasn’t bad, a living and dining room combination with a patio overlooking the carports, a tiny kitchen with the master and the spare bedroom to the rear. Id lived in better, but I’d just come from worse, anything was an upgrade from the county jail. After checking out the new pad, we went over to my parent’s place in the city of Brea, which was only about ten miles down the road.
