“The Halloween I met you, was our 
second time. I already told you that.  
The patrols were Pee Wee's idea        
originally. I just organized them,     
well, Mouse did most of it, but I      
really don’t see how you can say I was 
doing this without you or lying about  
it.                                    
     “You were right there with me for 
almost all of them. I just failed to   
mention that there were other people   
doing this with us, and that’s not     
lying. It’s just a simple little       
communication problem, that we just    
fixed,” I said with a hopeful smile.   
     She wasn’t buying it, “So, the    
short answer is almost nine years.”    
     “Technically, it's eight years,   
because you can't count the year I met 
you, or the year before that either.”  
*      “Whatever, Criminal. You've been    
doing this for eight years, let's agree
on that, and you’ve been keeping me in 
the dark about all this secret stuff,  
all that time, right?”                 
     She didn’t give me time to answer,
but continued like she knew what I was 
thinking, “Even though I did know what 
was going on, technically, you didn’t  
know that I knew, and that’s what makes
you guilty of, as you like to call it, 
a communication problem, or as I like  
to call it, lying.”                    
     “Yup,” I said, giving it up, even 
though, I knew she was just as guilty  
as I was, “but now you aren't in the   
dark anymore, even though you obviously
never really were, and I think this is 
all so exciting. I have so much stuff  
that I want to talk to you about.”
