Clandestine

fifty four

I can't stop thinking about what Diane said. How it tortures her knowing that her father's murderer is still out there, continuing her life while her father lies still.

I could put in end to that torture.

I just have to tell her the truth.

But I can't.

I need to.

But I can't.

I can't.

I can't.

I can't.

I know my mother would be proud of me for my loyalty, and it makes me sick to my stomach.
