una
no
vex.

be
angry
with
me.
I

did
that.

without
them
knowing.
I
removed
the

card,
I
want

use
the

don’t
know
I
have
been
arrested
for
armed
robbery.
I
have

2
months.
They
later
came
to
search
me
in
the
cell
where
I
was
and
discovered
the

Please
tell
them
to
forgive
me.
I
won’t
do
it
again.”
