I had this guy’s file pulled this morning, along with the rest of your neighbors. His name is Desperado.”

“Did you say Desperado?” I couldn’t stop the snort of laughter that bubbled to the surface.
“Yeah,” the Director confirmed. “He changed his name when he turned eighteen. It was Melvin.”
I was still laughing. “’Cause Desperado is so much better than Melvin.
