Jack

Jack looked great, although he had scars. He didn’t have junky ways. He just had a 3 cc syringe. Every morning he woke up to something like morning sickness and had to get his speedball right away, but he wasn’t addicted. If he didn’t shoot up, on the first day his body would say all right you motherfucker I’m gonna GET you, but on the second day he would be OVER it, man; he would be healthy as pie.

Dinah

Leroy and Laredo caught Dinah the next night.—That’s how it goes, said Leroy. Just remember the game. Tonight you got caught.

So what? Dinah said.

Tomorrow night you’ll probably get away with it, Leroy said.

I’m not worried about it, Dinah said.

They drove her down to the station now, where streetlights shone down upon the sidewalk, and all the police cars were very black and white and logical.

You know what I want? Dinah said. I want to go to school at the community college with girls who think the worst thing in life is when their mothers won’t buy them a new blouse.—Because she was drunk, she cried easily.—There are worse things in life, she said, but I don’t want to think about ’em anymore.

Laredo and Leroy didn’t say anything. They had heard that before.
