CHAPTER TEN

Charles was on the floor of their den, with his back against the couch, playing with his baby girl on his lap. He wore a pair of faded blue jeans, a sweatshirt, and was bare feet. Comfortable in his own home. Although his two youngest sons, Robert and Donald, were in the den with him, each one sitting on either side of him on the floor, and were getting on his true nerve with their childish bickering.

“But it’s not fair, Dad,” Donald was saying. “You catch Bobby selling drugs, selling drugs, Dad, and you don’t do anything to him.”

“He kicked my ass,” Robert said. “What are you talking about? He made me go to the cops and tell everything! I could have been looking at ten years if they didn’t give me immunity! And those guys could still do me harm if they find out I’m the one who snitched on them.”

“Ah, they’re small potatoes,” Donald said dismissively. “They can’t do anything to anybody. The only reason Chief Joffee cut any deal with you was because he’s scared of Dad like the rest of these cowards around here.”

“But you said Dad let me get away with it. I said that’s a ball-faced lie.”

“But Dad’s letting you work at his car dealership. He won’t let me work at his Inn anymore, but he lets you work at his dealership.”

“I’m washing cars at his dealership, the same thing you did once upon a time before you lost that too, so stop acting as if I’m running it or something. He’s giving me a second chance.”

“I deserve a second chance,” Donald said.

“He’s already given you a second chance fifty times over. You’ve blown every one.”

“I haven’t blown anything,” Donald responded, and then looked at his father. Don’t listen to Bobby, Dad.”

“Isn’t this Friday night?” Charles asked his sons.

Robert looked at him. “Yeah, so?”

“Then why are you two hanging around me? Why aren’t you out with some girls somewhere having a good time?”

“Nobody wants to go out with Bobby,” Donald said. “He’s a drug dealer.”

“And you’re a wife beater,” Robert fired back. “At least I know how to treat a woman. I can have any woman I want. And I already have plenty.”

“So why are you here, Mr. Hot Stuff?” Donald asked. “Since you’re so in demand. Why are you hanging out with your daddy on a big Friday night?”

“Same reason you are,” Robert said honestly. “I’m trying to get back into his good graces.”

Charles looked at his son. Despite Robert’s problems, he really was the sweetest kid he had. That was why he was so disappointed when he found out about the drugs. “Stay away from drugs in every way, shape, and form, and you’ll stay in my good graces,” Charles responded.

“Don’t worry,” Robert said. “It was a brain fart in my life. I don’t know what I was thinking. But me and my bruised body know it won’t happen again.” He still ached from the beat down his father had put on him.
