Sinner.

Blair lay asleep on Matt's chest as he began praying "bless me, father, for I have sinner, it's been, uh... it's been too long since my last confession, my dad, he used to come to this church... back when I was a kid, he was a fighter, old school..boxer.. lost more than he won, he has 24-31 record before he, uh..... But he could take a punch, Jesus, he could take a punch" "language"! Exclaimed father, trying not to wake the sleeping child. "Sorry, father"mumbled Matt. "Yeah, guys he went up against used to say it was like hitting a oak..and nights when he was outmatched my dads strategy was to let 'em him him till they broke their hands" chuckled matt.

"He never got knocked out, my dad..knocked down, sure, but he, uh, always got back up, he was always on his feet when he lost, every now and then, though, uh.... Every now and then, he'd get hid and....something inside him would snap, my grandmother she was the real catholic, fear of god ran deep, you'd have liked her....she used to say, be careful of the Murdock boys, they got the in em" smiled matt, carefully readjusting the child in his lap,

"..and you'd see it sometimes......In the ring... his eyes would go dead.... And he's start walking forward..real slow.. hands at his sides, like he wasn't afraid of anything...and the other guy, he'd see that look, and he'd try to get away from him...nah, my dad he'd catch him and... trap him in the corner...let the devil out, yeah, now I didn't understand it, you know, what he was feeling deep inside, I didn't understand, it.. not back them" said Matt, his eyes watering with tears. "But you understand it now"? Said father Landon. Matt out back his glasses on and said "I'm not,seeking penance for what I've done, father..I'm asking for forgiveness...for what I'm about to do". "That's not how this works...what exactly are you going to do"? Questioned father.

Blair lay on top of the garbage can watching her father help these girls, she wore a grey hoodie that was way to big for her. He saw Matt punch some guys over and over again, grunting as she saw a man fire a gun. Mat dodging. She gulped and sighed watching Matt rush the girls over to 48th street, blair watched Matt punch the guy over and over again, again and again.
