Keith gives details on the night in question using many racially offensive terms. He spotted Michael and Missy on the farm road in Michael’s BMW. Keith blocked them with his truck. Keith notes Michael’s car was Hitler’s favorite. He had an instant hatred for Michael. Missy emerged from the car and Keith was filled with rage, desiring to ram the car into them. This was not the first time Keith caught Missy on the road with another man. Keith’s mind turns to Lil’ Joe and his son. He is glad Mary killed him, as he might have done it himself. Keith flashes back to how he and Missy met, fell in love, and started their life together. His time in jail ruined their relationship. Missy defended herself and Michael, saying Michael was just giving her a ride home. Keith rushed to assault Michael. As Missy shouted and tried to stop him, Keith savagely beat Michael and was surprised that Michael fought back with such intensity. Keith threw dirt in Michael’s eyes, temporarily giving him the upper hand, and Keith moved to grab the board. Missy stepped in between the two and said he would have to kill them both. When she mentioned him returning to jail, he stopped, and they left in Keith’s truck.
