\" One pair black shoes , One Pair Black Jeans , One Band T-Shirt , One Pack Of Cigarettes , One Pair Of Sunglasses . Do you verify that these are you total and complete belongings Mr. Grant A. Baker . \"

\" Yes \"

Grant picked up a small box that was everything he had . It took twenty years and an untold number of fake smiles for his release . Every smile as hollow as the words that followed . \" Of coarse , I\'m rehabilitated , After all the site of my dying wife just sent me off . It was like road rage . \" But , now Grant was really smiling , and for the first time in a long time had nothing to prove . His feet shuffled along the cold concrete floor , he was trying to remember the name of that Restaurant , then one that made it happen . The one that started all of this . The name finally came to him , and his slow , sauntering shuffle swiftly became a brisk walk to a taxi that was waiting for him . Grant lugged the box in the back seat with him , and spoke aloud .

\" Steven\'s Steakhouse , fifth avenue ... Free man needs a good meal . \"

He slowly changed in the back seat from his complimentary prison uniform , into his old street cloths . And as he watched out of the back seat window , late in the evening , with the sunsetting , and that orange hue of tiny bright swirls mix with tar fill the sky , Grant was afraid . For the first time in a long time , he was scared . It reminded him all to much of that night . That Night ... He ordered the cab driver to stop . He was reluctant to considering he was going to lose a good far if he stopped ten miles short . The Cabby\'s disappointed quickly faded when Grant handed him three hundred dollars . Three old faded hundred dollar bills . That were crisp with time , and the same position .

\" Use this to make someone\'s life better . \"

Grant just opened the door and started walking . He didn\'t need money . He didn\'t need power . All he needed was to find out if It was true , what he had been dreaming about for twenty years , if David and Rachel ...
A shiver ran down his spine , and caused his left leg to spasm , He caught some awkward stares from people . Grant really didn\'t care one bit . He had something he had to see , something he had to do . The purpose that had been keep him alive for two decades . The search for absolution .
