It looked very desolate and old. Paul pulled up to one of the pumps and we both got out and walked in together.Inside, there wasn’t much on the shel...es. We must have been in some kind of hood because behind the register there was another black man. He was scruffy and looked to be in his forties. Paul engaged him with his hand out to shake his hand.Paul: “Excuse me sir, my name is Paul Greenfield.”The man reluctantly shook his hand and looked at us with confusion. Paul’s hand looked much smaller. "I got you a present. I suppose it could be considered a present for all of us. I know Jerry will really like it."With a confused look, Keri follows Sara into the bathroom. Jerry starts to turn on the TV but I stop him. I whisper, "Let's listen."It isn't long before we hear Keri, "I can't wear that. My God, that's my son out there." I look over at Jerry who has a huge smile on his face. A few seconds later we hear Keri once again, "Please, not now. Please. Not here. Oh please. Oh, oh, oh gawd.. “I’m Jim.” My name isn’t Jim. No one calls me Jim. I don’t know why I said that. My middle name is James, so I figured that was close enough? What was wrong with me? Why was I acting like this?“Ronnie. This is my brother Alex.” She gestured to the boy, who was now sitting on the steps, waiting for the line to move, his double tube propped against the railing.We made some small talk for a few minutes. I finally eased up around her and made her laugh a few times. Every time she did I grinned like. “Handle her as much as you like son,” Jed patted him on the back, “a good fucking would do her good,” he laughed.David arrived home very late, his mother told him that Laura had already gone to bed as she was feeling very tired. David told her and Dan about Jed’s job offer, Dan said he could continue paying him until he had to start with the Jed.“If this transport firm gets off the ground there could be a lot of money in it,” Dan said, “l’ll have a chat with Jed, l have a little lump sum tucked.
