Chapter 5

Wrangler had had enough of phone calls from the jail to his home. How they’d gotten their cell phone numbers as well was a mystery, but he was going to figure that out while he was there. Someone was going to have their heads roll, especially if it was one of the cops on duty.

He couldn’t stand to see Amber crying herself to sleep at night or even during the day when she was called to answer. Yesterday he’d yanked out all the phones and the wiring, along with calling the phone company to have them come out and remove all the wiring that would annoy the shit out of him.

Being taken back to the cells where William was first, he sat down in the chair he’d brought with him and told him who he was. Why he was there didn’t seem to be a question in his mind, but he wanted him to understand who he was. William launched into a tirade that pissed him off more than he’d ever been upset with anyone, with the exception of his mother.

“That’s another thing too. I want to know why you’re keeping my kids from coming in here and bringing us snacks and better blankets? We see others coming in and bringing things like candy bars and shit. Why are you keeping them from doing the same for the two of us? We’re their parents, you know.” Wrangler told the older man that he wasn’t keeping them from anything. “Then why ain’t they coming in here and seeing us. I have me a list of things that I want them to bring to me. One of them being a cell phone. I can’t make any deals without one of them, and I’m sick of having to walk all the way to the phone hanging on the wall there. You tell them to get their asses in gear, or it won’t go good for them.”

“No.” William sputtered around a little bit about how he didn’t like that word and that he wasn’t to use it on him again when Wrangler told him no again. “I’m not going to tell them to do anything for you. For that matter, I might tell them that they can come and see you and bring you treats, but it’s doubtful that either one of them would go out of their way to do that for you two. You’ve been terrible parents, and I can’t believe that you think that they’d want to do anything kind for you. I know that I wouldn’t.”

“You tell them that I said that they’d better, by god. I’m not messing around with them. I want out of here, and there ain’t no reason that they can’t be making my stay here better than it is now. A nice thick blanket would be nice, too. You tell them that.” He told the man no again, enjoying watching his face turn several shades of purple while he worked with his mouth to form words.
