No. 14 My name appears in the paper

The “police on duty” put the newspaper into the cell for me. It was the Sankei Shimbun (newspaper). We were allowed to read newspapers.
Turning over the pages from the front page, I found black lines covering over the original letters with black magic marker.
“What is this?” I asked one of my roommates, an eleven-time convict.
“Maybe the article is about one of us. Peer through the paper.”
According to him, unless immediately after marking, we can see the hidden letters when I look through them in the light.
“What? What’s this?” How surprised I was! Big headlines jumped to the eye. “Leaders of JREU Arrested” “Union Forces its Defiant Member to Quit”
At that moment I got so scared that I could hardly read the paper. I didn’t want to read it. I remembered that the police said, “Reporters are gathering.” I didn’t know what to do. “I have come out in the papers!” I trembled with fear. Before my own arrest I had seen TV gossip show for amusement as affairs of other people. The moment I knew I was in the similar situations, I became scared to imagine that I could be chased about by the TV or news reporters.
