WOMEN’S CENTRAL PRISONCHOWCHILLA, CALIFORNIA“This is a surprise. We don’t get much eye-candy here.” –Linda Rayburn“Prison’s a bitch.” – Archer“Yeah, well, much as I appreciate you driving all the way outhere, the invite was for Josie.” – Linda Rayburn“She’s a little tied up looking for Hannah.” – Archer“I know about those hearings. Lot of good they did.” – LindaRayburn“I didn’t know politics were your thing.” – Archer“Hannah’s still my kid. It’s not like I could just forget her.” –Linda Rayburn“I doubt she’ll ever forget you, either. So what’s with thevisitor request?I didn’t think Josie was your favorite person. “ – Archer“I have an idea where Hannah might have gone.” – LindaRayburn“You could have put that in the letter.”- Archer“That’s it? How about thank you. Or, really? Where?” – LindaRayburn“Where?” – Archer“Oregon. There was a guy who took us in a few years ago. Shemight go to him if she’s looking to lay low.” – Linda Rayburn“Why would he help her?” – Archer“I was very good to him.” – Linda Rayburn“What’s his name?” – Archer
“First, a little business. I’ve been doing some reading.” –Linda Rayburn“How to Live a Purposeful Life?” – Archer“Funny. Penal Code. I may have grounds for an appeal.” –Linda Rayburn“You think Josie should handle it?” – Archer“I could sign off on the parent thing with Hannah.” – LindaRayburn“You already signed off.” – Archer“Maybe I’m rethinking. It’s not a done deal.” – Linda Rayburn“Just so I’m straight, you’re bargaining with Hannah?” –Archer“Just an exchange of information. You talk to Josie about anappeal, and I’ll tell you all about Sam in Oregon.” – LindaRayburn“You give mothers a bad name. I’m outta here.” – Archer“Sam Idle. He called himself Damn Idle, you prick.” – LindaRayburn
