Corrinne Bailey.

Eight years old. Cliched really. When you think of the nuclear family I find most people thinking of Corrinne as the female half of the two. point. five children that you are expected to have. Blonde hair curled into ringlets. she's a doll, the kind you can get in the dollar stores downtown. She has had a pet rat which I told

Careful. You're starting to sound like me.

[youdieahero]

Heaven forbid

That just shows you care unlike the cops who investigated that bastard. But I'm sure you know all about Narco.

[jamesgordon]

You don't want your people to distrust you.

Oh, yes. I do know all about Narcotics.

Kids - kids are the hardest to deal with, even if you don't have any of your own.

Amen to that Detective. Amen to that.

....Although I think what will always get to me is how she...expected it to happen. expected us to fail.

*shakes head*

[det_stephens]

All you can do is try to live above those kinds of expectations.

[rattle_thecages]

This doesn't get any easier to read.

It's better to care too much than not care, though.

[youdieahero]

*eyes close*

That's what you told me the first time.

[rattle_thecages]

My way of thinking rarely changes, sir.

[youdieahero]

That's what I love about you.

Parents when I was growing up were hard on their children; Roman children are expected to do what they are told, study hard, to not be a nuisance, learn a trade and to grow up quickly and make their families proud. Of course...that might have just been mine. *sighs* However, the fact that any father could do anything like what I think you're implying here makes my blood run cold. It's one thing to discipline your son or daughter - proper morals and behavior are one thing, but - my father and mother loved me. They were hard on me, but I grew up to become exactly what my father had envisioned.

Well, mostly. I will never be the man he was, but I strive for honesty, loyalty, and ...

At any rate - Mr. Dent, do not let the 'bastards grind you down,' as my fascinatingly straightforward and annoying lieutenant Lancelot *shakes head* would try to remind me every day. You are one of the rare ones. Keep shaking your fist at evil - keep up the good fight - men like you are sorely needed in any time.

God watch over you.
