There's something like that back where I'm from.

[She's probably not talking about cancer and chemo, but it sounds similar enough that Blake gets the idea.

A lot of the rest of it sounds very familiar, too. It starts to make an ugly kind of sense. An old anger tightens Blake's jaw.]


There's guys like that, too. Ones who go around to people who're sick, scared, and desperate, and sell them crystals, prayers, and snake oil. 'Believe in Jesus and you'll be fine - right after your check clears.'

There's always scumbags who'll screw over people in a low place so they can get what they want from them.

[And a goddamn little girl, too.]
