WE SHOULD BE THERE.

I'M WAITING FOR HORACE TODAY.

THIS MIGHT BE THE DAY.

HORACE ISN'T COMING HOME.

THEN WHAT AM I WAITING FOR?

HORACE IS DEAD.

YOU REMEMBER THAT. YOU OWE HIM.

A LIFE FOR A LIFE.

AND YOU LEAVE THAT GANG FOR HORACE'S SAKE.

TODAY. YOU TELL ZAY AND V23

AND THE REST OF THEM GOOD FOR NOTHINGS GOOD-BYE.

IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE.

YOUR FATHER NEVER WANTED A HOODLUM FOR A SON.
