Many years later, Jack and Madylyn return home from church for what appears to be a quiet afternoon in the life of a longmarried couple. Late that night, Jack is woken by a phone call telling him that his brother, Bobby, has just died. The next day, he speaks at Bobbys funeral, admitting that he once struck his brother, Mr. Perfect, in the head with a hammer, but that his brother covered for him and he never was punished for it.Jack works as a parole officer, interviewing inmates to assess their suitability for early release. Jack is approaching retirement and the parade of inmates through his office blurs into a buzz, until he meets Gerald Stone Creeson, who is serving a tentofifteen year sentence as an accessory to the murder of his grandparents. During interviews with Jack, Stone tries to engage him in coarse banter, and describes his wife Lucetta Creeson as an oversexed alien, setting Jack up for a seduction they have planned together. Jack is at first skeptical and tries to keep professional boundaries in their conversations, focusing on Stones crime and whether he accepts responsibility for what hes done. Stone challenges Jacks right to judge him, asking if he ever did anything bad, which Jack answers evasively. Convicted of being an accomplice after the murder of his grandparents, Stone says his cousin killed them after he left the room. Jack asks Stone why he didnt try to save them, but Stone only answers cryptically that he returned driven by the impulse to set fire to the house afterwards. Stone begins to poke around the prison librarys religious literature. Jack in the meantime attends church regularly, listens to religious debates on talk radio, and visits his minister. ........
