Because Pm ready any time,
Just write to Wayland Baum of

giant step. And one you can't take back"
There was silence between them.
Il hate cops" Benny said at last,
forcing the words out And now | got
one."
Sure" Tom said. He stopped again,
looking at the dim face. YOU'RE lucky,
you know. Tomorrow you'd have had
a young man on this beat, a rookie
patrolman with lots of speed and muscle.
You wouldn't have done SO we'll tomor-
row night. You wouldn't have had the
chance to kill an old man.
Benny didn't answer and Tom
knew that he was building his courage,
his resolution. He could read it in the
shaking, numbering hand holding the
gun. This was hoodlum's dream. He
had heard too many of them spit it out
wrathfully in police station: TN kill you,
copper. RI kill you. But it took little
while to build this courage.
Your last chance" Tom said. "Your
last chance to 60 down in newspaper
history as cop-killer. Your last chance
to burn in the chair. You wouldn't have
wanted to miss all that
Shut up," Benny said, and Tom
stopped. Then he went on.
And think what a story it will make.

The old cops last night. Burned down
in an empty warehouse by juvenile
delinquent. The last patrol"
Benny stood still, watching him. ''You
won't talk me out of it, he said,
Copper"
1T doesn't matter whether | do or
not" Tom said, feeling surprised that
it was so. ut doesn't make any differ
ence to me whether you kill me or not
I've had mine. Thirty years on the force.
It's all right with me if don't have to
be night Waterman or a bank guard,
petering out the end of my life. 1t doesn't
matter to me whether you kill me or not
Because | hadn't thought of anything
more to do beyond being cop. A mans
got to have something to live for outside
himself. So it doesn't make any differ
ence to me-" And it was true and
knowing thing he was saying.
Benny kept on watching him.
That was all my life," Tom said.
And you can't take it away from me
when I've already lived it. All you can
take away is the rest of your own
Benny didn't move, didn't speak, and
Tom felt that he was listening for the
first time. That's what he's interested
in, Tom thought. Not mine. His own.
