And if someone ratted us out, we killed him. We were not nice guys. I was there when Jimmy went on the lam in and I was his contact after he'd left Boston for good. With Jimmy gone, I ran things. Shortly before my own arrest in , I found out that Jimmy had been an FBI informant even before I entered the scene. My life was never the same.
When the feds finally got me, I found myself faced with something Jimmy would have killed me for -- cooperating with the authorities. Do I have any regrets? Nah, not really -- only that I should have spent more time with my wife and sons. But I've got a second chance now, and I gotta tell what happened -- what really happened.
