     Beth started sobbing, but tried to
finish anyway, “She wasn’t being mean. 
She was just trying to tell us that she
was innocent, but didn’t know how to do
it, and I didn’t care,” she said and   
started sobbing uncontrollably.        
     I’d never heard the last part of  
that story before, and hugged her, “I  
didn't know that, hon. I'm sorry.”     
     “It's not your fault,” she was    
finally able to say, and then smiled.  
     “It's why Barry won't do another  
one, but on the bright side, I guess,  
it does help me to understand you a    
little better, if nothing else, you    
know?”                                 
     “Yeah, except you didn’t have a   
choice. I did, and I deserve nothing   
but evil happening to me, and you      
definitely don't deserve that Beth.”   
     “Why are you so fucking hard on   
yourself, Crim,” Beth said after giving
me a kiss, and then searched my face   
for answers.                           
     “Because no matter how many nice  
things I do, I'll never be a nice per- 
son. I'm evil, and no matter what I do,
I can never fix or change that.”       
     Johnson, after listening to all of
that, threw in his own personal theory,
“I think you guys are like yin and     
yang.”                                 
     “Isn't that the symbol for good   
and evil?” I said, remembering that    
much about it, and added, “She's the   
good part, and I'm the evil part,      
right?”                                
     “I don't think it's strictly good 
and evil. It's more like opposites.    
Many Eastern cultures believe it's     
needed for harmony to exist, and I also
believe that in order to fight evil,   
good has to first understand it, and   
sometimes, it has to be a little evil  
too.                                   
     “There's a harmony in there some- 
where, and both you guys make the per- 
fect yin and yang, and that's where the
real magic comes from, I think, or at  
least, that's my theory.               
     “I felt it big time while I was in
that barn of yours,” Randy continued,  
“and I felt it coming from you, that   
first time I met you, but it was really
weak, and not anywhere near as strong  
as it got after you met Beth.
