Doug MacRay, James Coughlin, Albert Magloan, Desmond EldenMy bank was robbed. Four men took it over and opened the safe. They made us take off our shoes. I don't know why I'm stuck on that, but now I'm barefoot in all my dreams. They took me as a hostage. I was blindfolded and they drove me around. I kept thinking how my mothers tell their daughters, not to get in cars with strange men and now I was in a car with strange men who had guns and were probably looking for a place to drop my body. And no one spoke. Which made it worse. When I was sure I was going to die, I got really calm. Then they stopped and let me out. Over at the beach in South Boston -- where the planes come in. One of them told me to walk until I felt the water on my toes. It was the longest walk of my life. I kept thinking I'd step off a cliff. And then I felt the water.
If the guy has a record, they'll know the tattoo and they'll ring him up the next day. And they'll charge him with weapons and robbery and he'll get thirty-five years. Then they'll arrest all his known associates. I guess they'd want those guys to turn on him but if they don't -- someone's gonna come looking for the witness and the FBI will put you in witsec -- I'm just guessing, but it sounds like you have to move to Cleveland and never talk to anyone you know for a decade.
Works at Vericom. Never seen the inside of a jail cell. Now, most of these guys get no show jobs, so when they hit a truck, foreman says, 'Guy was here yesterday,' and shows us a forged time card. But they can't play them games at Vericom because it's a public company. You don't show up, it's a recorded sick day. 'Dezzy' has some interesting sick days.
They can rationalize everything. Rob banks, hey, it's insured by the government. Who insures the government? They lionize criminals and then complain about the crime. And they view me as the bad guy. By the time your mother and sister are heroin addicts, it's a little late to re-think your models for who the good guys are.
Security chart, maps, tunnels. Cash gets brought out and packed fifteen minutes before the can does the pick-up. That's when you hit it.
No boat? How could you look yourself in the mirror? Over here, people with two toilets were fancy. We had one and it hardly flushed.
I just want to get this out there because otherwise I'll be pretending to listen to you all night and thinking about something else.
Also in the cash room: Morton Harford, 27 Counting Lane, Randolph -- wife also Linda. Arnold, the Lindas want you to open this door.
