Bill Cady, The Early Years … by Bill Cady 293<br />

there were people at home when I committed those crimes. I think the words “first<br />

degree” would‟ve been on my list of charges in court.<br />

If I‟d ever killed anyone, which I thankfully didn‟t do, it would‟ve been second<br />

degree murder. In Michigan, if you get lucky, you can get out of prison for that one after<br />

seven years.<br />

I was told, but never verified it, my stepbrother Allen widened a black guy‟s smile<br />

from ear to ear, and lowered it a couple inches. Apparently with the relocated smile, the<br />

guy laughed himself to death. Or, bled to death. Like I say, I was never able to verify it.<br />

I was told he did a few years in prison, but you can ask Allen, if you want. He‟s also in<br />

the book, I believe.<br />

There were only a few fracases during my burglaries. One night a woman in her<br />

late twenties came out of the bathroom as I was leaving her apartment. If I‟d had a split<br />

second more, I‟d‟ve ducked out of her sight. If-dog-rabbit.<br />

She looked to her right and made out my shape in the darkness. As soon as she<br />

determined someone was there, she started to scream, but the sound never got out of her<br />

throat. <strong>At</strong> least, not while I was still in the building. I stepped behind her and shoved<br />

against her shoulders with all my strength, which was considerable at that age. She<br />

probably got one helluva rug burn from sliding on the carpet, but I was already out the<br />

door when I heard her land, so I never stopped to verify a damned thing. I just ran like<br />

hell to my car, parked two blocks away, and drove home slowly because it was after<br />

three.<br />

Burglaries are best done between three and four in the morning, when the people<br />

are still sound asleep and its darkest outside. Any earlier, they might still be having sex,<br />
