just by reading their paIm.

What does mine say?

I have no idea.

Haven't gotten that far in the book yet.

Gimme my hand back.

Tomboy wannabe palm reader who looks like a cover model.

That's troubIe I don't want.

Okay, stuck with you fucking clowns.

Come on man, Iighten up, it's your mom's 50th birthday.

Whew!

Man, it's a damn shame no one really comes up here anymore.

Place just sits up here empty.

We had some good times, didn't we, brother?

Good times.

Yeah.

Elroy, back in the day,

this place was the spot, man.

l'm telling you, gambling, drugs,

back door business, no cops.

Had my first hooker up here.

See these boys?

Hey, boys!

Oh!

How's my prince?

Happy birthday, Mom.

Oooh.

How you doin', Uncle Linus?

Good to see ya'.

Oh.

l didn't really know you were going to be here

lt's my mom's birthday, Michelle.

Yeah.

You remember Dave, right? He's my old man now.

We've met before, right?

Yeah, like three times.

Well Michelle, six months.

You sure move on quick, don't ya?

Hey, Cody, Cody.

Get your mom a drink.

Happy birthday.

Get your mom a drink, boy.

Come on.

Hey, what's up? Haven't seen you around here before.

My name's Elroy, l wrench for Cody and Q.

Hi. l'm Megan.

Damn shame no one comes around here anymore.

Back in the day this used to be the spot.

Really?

Mm.

That's odd. l can't recall seeing you here before.

Huh?

You know, since my dad's an original member and all.

Don't try so hard, rookie.

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Your Uncle Linus isn't feeling real well

so l gotta get him home.

Love you, baby.

And be good.

Fuck you man!

Hey! Hey!

Not in my house, hey!

You don't remember me, do you Cody?

Megan. Michelle's little sister.

Megan.

How long has it been?

Um, l think l was 17 the last time l saw you.

Just before l left for school.

How'd that work out for you?

l graduated last semester.

Right.

Anyway, l heard it was your mom's birthday

so l tagged along with my sister.

Sorry it didn't work out between you guys.

Seven years is a Iong time.

And weII, now she's running around with that douche bag.

Well.

l just wanted to say hi.

Um, l should probably go find Michelle

before she leaves me stranded once again.

Megan.

Couple years back when l got locked up,

l knew it was you that sent me those letters.

Thanks for the beer.

lt was good to see you, Cody.

better take off man, it's getting Iate.

Hey.

Let's get outta here.

Yeah?

Yo, man, everybody's Ieaving.

You want me to drive Mama?

Don't be stupid.

Yoo hoo!

Hey, have you guys seen my sister?

Oh, my God, honey, it is an angry coIIege person.

Are you kidding me? Did she leave?

Maybe she went on a beer run.

Maybe she did, except that there's nothing around here for miIes.

Do you guys mind if l catch a ride with you?

Sure thing honey, but you better get comfortabIe

'cause we ain't leaving till the morning.

Are you serious?

Do l look serious?

l'm sorry, baby, but everyone's already left.

Sorry, baby.

WeII, who's that?

You better go find out if you want a ride..

Hello?

Anyone out there?

Crazy mother fucker, your old man.
