merlin van tornhout

just can’t keep himself out of trouble.

with all the talk about

leopold and loeb

he goes driving off to

rescue his 15-year-old girlfriend

from an orphanage in burlington

and gets hauled into jail for kidnapping.

boy’s got spirit, i’ll give him that.

his girl told him she wanted out,

and he drove up there to spring her.

they were caught in vergennes,

mary placed in custody

of a policewoman,

merlin arrested and held in the lockup.

he should be back in a few days.

reynard alexander went and pitched for him.

it helps having reynard alexander for a friend.

i should know.
