Summary
It’s been almost twenty years since Benson Roche was sentenced to carry out four life sentences at G.H. Lemoine Correctional. Twenty-one since he had murdered his and Randy’s coworkers on a cool and bland January morning, since he had beaten Elliot Sheppard to death in the middle of Bill Snyder Elementary’s parking lot, had taken Miss Beard hostage only at Randy’s insistence he not kill her, had shot Marsha at the end of her shift at the Kutzburg Diner. Twenty-one years since he had forced Randy to drive around town with him for hours, laughing at him, maybe believing it was with him—driving around and never once trying to leave town, intent only on curing Randy of all that made him the most pathetic 21-year-old he had ever seen. Twenty-one years since he gave Randy the small white divot scars on either side of his shoulder that still twinge now and again in a flutter of permanently-confused nerves.
Twenty-one years since he became Randy’s captor. Twenty-one years since he became Randy’s only friend in the world, if only for a day. Since he had created the clean and even division of years in Randy’s life — Before Benson and anno Domini nostri Benson Roche.
In seven months, he'll be eligible for parole.

Maybe Benson doesn’t know exactly where he’s going or how long it’ll be before this whole thing reaches its inevitable, bloody conclusion, but he knows he’s taking Randy with him. (Canon divergent from Miss Beard's house)

Summary
“Randy, you look like an old haunted doll on the knick-knack shelf at a Goodwill.” Benson said. He reached over and combed his fingers through of Randy’s curls, gently pushing them out of Randy’s face for him. His fingertips curled in a bit, petting over the back of Randy’s skull. It made Randy shiver. “It is definitely getting that long.”
“I could get some scissors soon,” Randy said. Benson’s hand fell away. “Trim it later.”
Benson’s head turned, brows furrowed. “You don’t gotta do that.”
“You just said—,”
“I said that you look like a creepy little doll, not that it didn’t suit you.”
