I had forgotten to let him and Mom know I was going to the movies with my friends. I was going to need to remember to check in with my parents when my...plans changed. I simply wasn't used to that anymore after a year of freedom at college.I woke from the sound sleep the next morning by the sound of loud knocking. "Kyle!" Dad said. "Time to get up. You've got to hurry. We leave for church in half an hour." Dad was using his no-nonsense tone. Attendance at church was not up for debate."OK," I. 'The next morning, Julio awoke still thinking about whether he might passas a girl so he could kill Marisol and retire from his gang life. Hedecided that he needed to talk to Maria about this idea, so he called herand asked her to come over. When she arrived, he got her a beer and theysat on the porch in the morning sun."Maria, I was thinking about what you said yesterday," he started."What do you mean," she replied."What you said about how I could get into Marisol's prison if I was awoman.". I didn’t understand what that meant and he explained how we would charge and that we would split the money. He would pay for the room out of his half. I suspect he had something worked out with the manager of the motel. ‘So are we going into business or what?’ he asked. The money sounded great. If I made enough I could move out of my parents’ house away from my sicko of a stepfather. I looked up at him with renewed confidence nodding, ‘yeah, I’ll do it,’ I agreed. ‘OK then,’ he smiled. ‘We can. I liked her.”“Oh!” He was quiet for a moment. “You should get some sleep, you have school in the morning – and so do I.”“I love you, Dan.”“I love you too, Bec. Now go to sleep.”There was silence for a while. Then a thought occurred to me.“Dan?” The only answer I got was his breathing.Damn. I wanted to ask him about those condom things that went inside a girl’s vagina.I wanted to ask why he wasn’t wearing any underwear.I wanted to ask... I think I must have gone to sleep before I got to the end.
