Garrett said, "Dude, here's the killer-Dana told 'em he was you!" "Oh, nice." "What a butthead, huh?" "And they probably believed him," Roy said. "Not even for a minute." "Was he alone?" Roy asked. "Anybody else get arrested?" Anybody like Beatrice Leep's stepbrother? he wanted to say. "Nope. Just him," Garrett said, "and guess what-he's got a record!" "A record?" "A rap sheet, dude. Dana's been busted before, is what the cops told my mom." Again, Roy wasn't exactly shocked by the news. "Busted for what?" "Shoplifting, breakin' into Coke machines-stuff like that," Garrett said. "One time he even knocked down a lady and swiped her purse. Mom made me promise not to tell. It's supposed to be a secret, since Dana's still a minor.
