Henry : It was easy for all of us to disappear. My
house was in my mother-in-law's name. My cars were registered to my wife.
My social security cards and driver's licenses were phonies. I never
voted. I never paid taxes. My birth certificate and my arrest sheet,
that's all you'd ever have to know I was alive. See, the hardest thing for
me was leaving the life. I still love the life. And we were treated like
movie stars with muscle. We had it all, just for the asking. Our wives,
mothers, kids, everybody rode along. I had paper bags filled with jewelry
stashed in the kitchen. I had a sugar bowl full of coke next to the bed.
Anything I wanted was a phone call away. Free cars. The keys to a dozen
hide out flats all over the city. I bet twenty, thirty grand over a
weekend and then I'd either blow the winnings in a week or go to the
sharks to pay back the bookies. Didn't matter. It didn't mean
anything. When I was broke I would go out and rob some more. We ran
everything. We paid off cops. We paid off lawyers. We paid off judges.
Everybody had their hands out. Everything was for the taking. And now it's
all over. That's the hardest part. Today
everything is different. There's no action. I have to wait around like
everyone else. Can't even get decent food. Right after I got here I
ordered some spaghetti with marinara sauce and I got egg noodles and
ketchup. I'm an average nobody. I get to live the rest of my life like a
schnook.
