Summary
Twenty-one year old Benson cleans up the shit at a run-down inner city zoo. He’s in the giraffe enclosure, when he sees the group of second graders that were supposed to come in today. One is a bit taller than the rest. The kid is not looking up at the giraffes in wonder—he’s looking directly at Benson.
Benson and Randy first meet at the zoo.

Summary
"Yeah, you’ve changed, but did I ever know you?"
Four years after the standoff in the diner, Randy Bradley has grown into a self-reliant and accustomed young man. Things are finally falling into place for him, until he runs into a familiar face in a local bar.
After being on the run for so long, Benson returns to the same Louisiana town where he left a string of bodies in his wake. He half expected to run into his old companion, but fate brings them together again, ensuing a clash of emotions that may bring them closure or more pain.

Summary
“You don't call, you don't write.” He crossed his arms over his chest feigning calm. Drawing Benson's attention to him. “And then I have to find out from my brother in law that you're getting released.”
A myriad of emotion passed over Bensons features, recognition, annoyance, confusion, acceptance, a few others that Randy wouldn't dare to guess at.
“Randy? The fuck are you doing here?” Randy smiled, dipping his head and looking up at Benson through his eyelashes. Something in the pit of his stomach warming at Benson’s voice and Randy’s name being the first thing he said as a free man.Twenty years after the shooting at the diner, Benson is getting out of prison. Randy goes to pick him up.
Deals with somewhat more mellow versions of Benson and Randy after so much time has passed but both still equally co-dependent.Bookmarked by FinalBoy_96
