Into the Abyss Page #5
and I was eating supper,
and he rushed me with a gun.
So we fought
for about 45 minutes
with a gun to my head
in this girl's house.
It was a .22 caliber
single-shot pistol.
Yeah, he held... held it
to my head,
banged me in the head with it.
We were fighting all through
the house with the gun
till I locked myself
in this bedroom,
and he was gonna
kick in the door,
so I just opened the door
and let him in
because I didn't want him to
tear this girl's dad's house up,
and after that,
and he pinned me on the bed,
and he pulled the trigger.
- Nah, it misfired,
because the bullet
come out the gun,
and you could tell on
a 22 bullet, there's like...
it's just that round,
flat piece on the bottom.
Well, if the firing pin
ain't long enough,
it don't hit it, and...
and it don't... it won't go off,
but it hit it, but I don't know
why it didn't go off.
- You were lucky.
- Yeah.
- Very lucky.
- Yeah, I kind of
blacked out there.
But, yeah, real lucky.
And then him killing
those people, man,
I feel sorry
for their families.
Me and my friend Big Justin
was up at the bar one time,
and he come up there with these
new cars, him and Perry,
and we're like, "Man",
where'd y'all get
these new cars at?"
He's like,
"oh, we was holding hands"...
him and Perry was holding hands
and scratched off
and won them two cars.
Well, me and my buddy
knew it wasn't right,
because they're both felons,
you know what I mean?
Ain't nobody gonna sell them...
ain't neither one
got a driver's license,
so, you know, and... and the cars
were, like, fully loaded,
CD's, skateboards,
and stuff like that in there,
and so we knew something...
something was up with it,
joy rides up at the bar.
- Jason and Michael
came up to the bar
to show off two new vehicles
that they had purchased,
and at first, we...
nobody really understood.
They explained that they had
purchased a lottery ticket,
and that's how they got
the money to buy the cars,
and at that time, it started
getting a little weird.
- What didn't sound right
about this?
- The amount of
the lottery ticket was $4,000.
They said they cashed it
in a gas station.
That doesn't usually happen.
The vehicles themselves
didn't look like
they just came off a car lot.
- I rode in them.
I didn't drive them.
Yeah, they...
Jason and Michael
were kind of giving everybody
test drives,
and I rode in both vehicles.
The... the red Camaro,
when I rode in it,
they were showing off guns.
There was a 12 gauge shotgun,
and I don't remember
the other one,
but I did see 'em in the trunk
of the red Camaro that night.
From what I heard, rumors,
you know, they were into...
initially planning on stealing
a car of my roommate
at the house I was staying at,
and that scared
the hell out of me,
'cause that could've been me.
You know, if he would've
decided to come
and get the car in my driveway,
where would I be?
I've... I've managed
to block it.
I've managed to try
to not deal with it
I guess being in the situations
that I've been in,
just from being employed
at that bar,
I have seen so many awful things
that I don't deal with them.
I just kind of put them back.
- Did Jason brag about crimes?
and my buddy Big Justin.
We didn't even know
what had happened,
and they was... they come got us
from Justin's house,
the police did,
and they took us up there,
and they was like,
"Y'all read the paper?"
And I told 'em, well,
I couldn't read,
and then they didn't
believe me,
and they looked at my record
and found out I can't read,
and then, so they read
the paper to me,
and they told me
what they had done.
- Mm-hmm.
Do you read now?
- Oh, yeah.
- So late, you started to learn
how to read.
- Yeah, I learned how to read.
- Wonderful, yes?
I find this
a great achievement.
- Yeah, it is awesome.
- You are much more
connected now.
- Yeah.
- How does it feel
not to be able to read?
You have to be much smarter
than the others
to understand the world anyway.
- Yeah.
It's... it's kind of tough
out there when you can't read,
but, I mean,
'cause they ain't always have
somebody gonna read it for you.
But, I mean,
I learned how to read in jail
and read the letters,
and other than that,
I don't plan on going back,
but I'm glad I learned
how to read there.
- And you are doing good now?
- Oh, yeah.
Staying busy at the paint
and body shop.
- Reading?
- Oh, yeah.
- Writing?
- Not much writing.
A lot of sanding.
- I'm interested in your
relationship with Michael Perry.
How did you two meet?
How does this thing happen?
- In 2000,
I had a girlfriend in 2000.
She had a friend named Miranda.
and Miranda, I seen her
on the side of the road
arguing with Michael Perry,
and I said...
I pulled over, and I asked her
what was going on,
and she said,
"He's living in my trunk,
"and I can't get him...
"you know, he can't live there
no more.
"My dad's seen him.
"My dad got in a fight with him
this morning.
He can't live there."
So he was living
in the trunk of a car,
and I said, "Well, I don't know
what to tell you."
And she asked me,
"Can he live with you?"
And at that moment, I told her,
"No, he can't live with me."
And then, I looked at him,
and she's, like, sad and crying,
and she said, "Please, let him
live with you just for a month."
This was when we were living
in the camper trailer,
and I told him,
"You can live with us.
Get your stuff, put it
in my truck, and come home."
And from that day on,
I fed him, gave him money,
took care of him.
He was like a...
like a little brother,
kid brother
that was pushed on you,
and... and when they... he's older
than me by a few months,
but I had to take care of him
because he had nothing.
He had nobody.
Little did I know he had
a very supportive family.
His mom and dad
were both supportive.
He just didn't want
to follow rules.
He was just like me
and didn't want to follow rules,
and that's why he ended up
living with me,
'cause they said,
"Work and you can live with us."
He didn't want to work.
- And you were sent on a
outward Bound trip into Florida.
What happened?
What was that, yeah?
- Well, you know,
I'm a city boy at heart,
you know what I'm saying?
I'm really not into
the nature and bugs
and... and the weather
and, you know.
So, you know, when... they sent me
on a two week canoe trip.
for me, but...
- Yeah, you know, you know,
I like to canoe,
but what it...
what was...
It wasn't the canoeing
that was bad.
It was that it was
in the Everglades.
I mean, we're seeing alligators
everywhere.
Now, my question is...
and I didn't even realize that
