J.D. Trafford - Michael Collins 02 - No Time to Die
“There were five extra bailiffs on the perimeter of the room, and another three bulky federal agents in plain clothes.
Dylan walked to the witness stand. He raised his right hand, and then he was asked, “Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?”
Dylan’s eyes darted around the room. He was shaky and unsure. Telling the truth wasn’t exactly what he had been known for in the past, but now it was one of his only ways of avoiding “Ol’ Sparky.” Ol’ Sparky was... the nickname given to the three-legged oak chair built by Florida inmates in 1923.
