It became their motto, and Jonesy couldn't for the life of him remember which of them started saying it first. Payback's a bitch , that was his. Fuck me Freddy and half a dozen even more colorful obscenities originated with Beaver. Henry was the one who taught them to say What goes around comes around , it was the kind of Zen shit Henry liked, even when they were kids. SSDD, though; what about SSDD? Whose brainstorm had that been? Didn't matter. What mattered was that they believed the first half of it when they were a quartet and all of it when they were five and then the second half of it when they were a quartet again. When it was just the four of them again, the days got darker. There were more fuck-me- Freddy days. They knew it, but not why. They knew something was wrong with them — different, at least — but not what. They knew they were caught, but not exactly how. And all this long before the lights in the sky. Before McCarthy and Becky Shue. SSDD: Sometimes it's just what you say. And sometimes you believe in nothing but the darkness. And then how do you go along?
