On the very first day in prison, three of the most dangerous inmates surrounded a 78-year-old little old lady and demanded that she give them everything she had, and after her refusal, they began to brutally beat the elderly woman.

I looked at Evelyn.

“Why did you help me?”

She smiled.

“Because your father asked me to.”

Then she took my hand.

“And because some promises are worth keeping, no matter how long they take.”

We walked away from the prison together.

Neither of us looked back.
