Now the crooks and pimps are calling with death threats. His editor calls him into his office. "Charley, they want to kill you too. Do you hear me?" "We can't let them scare us into silence," Charley said. "It's people like them who raped and killed my mother. They shot my father. I won't stop writing about them. My father never did and I won't either. I want these thugs behind bars or dead. Bruce, we got them on the run, looking over their shoulder. They're scared..."
