Parole Quote by Carrie Vaughn
““Cormick! Anything even remotely resembling trespassing and breaking and entering is going to look bad to a parole officer!' Cormick stopped, then turned and headed back to the car, 'I hate that.' I thought a moment, 'I'm not on parole.' I started for the box... 'Don't touch anything you find,' Cormick said as we passed each other.””
