Relentless pursuit Quote by Jennifer Echols
““Vat have you been up to, Governor?' Skip asked with an Arnold Swarzenegger accent. The relentless pursuit of crime,' John said. He pronounced crime with a long southern drawl and a wink. Then he burst into laugher with the rest of them. Seeing him jogging at the park had cracked a window so I could peek into his soul. Seeing him with his friends threw the window wide open. He was so nineteen.””
