Picked Up
Johnny tossed the butt of his cigarette out the window, as he rode in the back seat of one of his many Cadillacs, Mikey "The Mechanic" at the wheel, Paulie riding shotgun. Next to him was his daughter Catherine, her knapsack on her lap.
"Dad, what's going to happen to Mom?" Catherine asked, her eyes still showing signs of having cried when the news was broken that her mother had been arrested. For suspicion of murder, no less.
"Hopefully, not much at all. I've made some calls, she will be out of jail before dinner. After that, it's up to the lawyers..." Johnny reached into his pocket and pulled out his pack of smokes, dismayed to find it empty.
Catherine couldn't help but crack a smile.
"What.." Johnny asked, tossing the empty pack to the floor. "Something funny?"
"Yeah. You need a smoke, Dad?" asked Catherine.
"You got one? Care to lend bum your old man a smoke?"
Catherine opened up her knapsack, and took out a pack, offering it to her father. "Well, I stole them from you, so why not. Figure you could use one..."
"Thanks for being so fucking considerate. On your allowance, can't you buy your own?" Hell, her allowance was well above the the annual salary of most college graduates.
"I hate paying above cost."
"Don't we all.." Johnny was wondering how much Jenny's recent slip up would cost in legal fees. More importantly he wondered...did she do it?
