Previously on dirty rats.

I met John in Baltimore. A year later we were married. We had a five bedroom. We had everything for a family.

Then we put in for adoption for the next child. He took the CPA exam. He passed all four parts.

Next thing I know he said, want to sell the house. He said I have an opportunity to go to Florida.

He said it's something called Highlyon.

John had done his two years and he wanted to sell. And this guy was from Reading. Name was Wheeler.

Johnny Margarano approached and shot Wheeler once in the head.

Day came. He was home phone rang and I heard him use the word that he didn't use around me that starts with an F.

He said they have something the whole deal. He said what the hell? I said well aren't you sorry that the man is dead?

He said well yeah, that too. John did not want that. He had set that whole deal up.

I know I was there. I heard it. I saw it. My own eyes and ears. It's not hearsay.

He meant whoever this whitey person that was responsible for that murder, it ruined everything for John. It's just the whole damn deal was off.

Whitey then gunned down the gangster and a friend of his in South Boston.

That left one loose end. John Callahan. The question was would Callahan stand up? The cops were already looking for him.
