....he stood  on one side watching him die,  he was himself just seventeen  , it was  his first  experience of witnessing  such a scene,  he  adored  haily like his own father 
Let me get you a glass of water  haily miss Nellie left the room  on getting him water  he understood she  needed an escape
Simon  flicked some of the cigarette ash onto the floor  before looking at him  ,,you don't like it do you   this death scene  his voice was  gentle 
After two minutes  haily lifted hus hand and  gestured him to come closer,  he approached him,  he spoke  inaudible,  he bent over to carefully catch hus words,  he put his ear on his lips  simply to hear what was he trying to say 
We did wrong  whispered  haily,  something very wrong  very  very wrong 
What did you do,  he kept his own voice  so low that Simon wouldn't hear , he realized haily was trying to  confide in him,  you mean  before you fell outside 
No nonot that,  years ago,  we did  that long time ago  
Who are we , I don't understand clearly  Do you mean  you and your partners  by we 
We were booked at Saint pipers  groaning haily  spoke slowly,  our show was over  and we  went  in for drinks 
With whom 
With angel 
A woman?
Yes, we killed her and buried her under the rail tracks
