Ava Doe

He had immersed himself in police culture. He bribed them to hang around them, to learn how they talk. He would feign a deeper northern accent. He would use the words that they would use. She says he once paid an officer for a uniform. And if the police ever caught up to him and his escapees, he would pretend that he was one of them.

I didn't see why it was a secret. I already knew how to keep secrets by then, so I was surprised. I think I thought, maybe she didn't think I could lie well enough.

I wanted to believe that... There was possibly maybe a place in the world where people did say everything that they think and that they weren't running to threats of reality. Maybe there are people who just tell you everything.

We had put on tennis shoes. I had never worn closed-toe shoes before in my life. We had socks on, and I had a jacket on like I do now, but it was 80, probably 80 to 90 degrees with 90% humidity, and I just remember being hot. They arrived in Seattle in 1992, three days before Halloween. I remember thinking that America didn't have any smells anymore. It just smelled like nothing.

I didn't smell food. I didn't smell the streets. I didn't smell sweat. And I hadn't ever seen so many yellow leaves.

He stole my friend's engagement ring after just what it seemed to be shaking her hand and saying a few sentences with her, and then he gave it back. And I thought this was the most bizarre thing, to give it back. If you could steal something, why would you give it back? I've never met an honest thief, I guess.

Before we saw each other again, because I lived in LA at the time and Apollo lived in Las Vegas, we had phone calls that lasted an average of four hours. It was anywhere between two to nine hours. We had very long conversations about everything, but a lot of it was about psychology and I thought it was a really peculiar thing to be interested in deception if you didn't have to grow up with it.
