- Hannah spent her night in a jail cell

- Between the throwing up, her mother dying, and her cousin trying to sell her, she didn't sleep much

- And she made it everyone's problem

- "So this what you guys do on Friday nights? Arrest fucking children? I don't need to be here, I need to go to a fucking hospital because I am concussed! That's right bitch, keep walking or I swear I'll-"

- If she isn't cussing out Tulsa 'finest', she's throwing up into a garbage can in the corner

- She wouldn't admit it, but she was scared now

- Jack was freaking out both times she met him, and it sounded like the guy he owed was not a nice guy

- She'd gotten on the wrong side of guys like that before

- And it almost cost her her life

- The fact that Verna was dead didn't set in until the morning

- That was also the time Dallas came to pick her up

- "Get the fuck outta my way, I'm here for my sister."

- So Dallas has to stand at the front desk and fill out a bunch of paper while being extremely hungover

- Man forgot the second L in his name

- Dalas Winston

- But the cops don't care

- So one goes into the cell and pulls her up

- And Dal starts yelling

- "What the fuck were you doing last night?! You had one job! Meet! Me! At! Buck's!"

- Hannah looks like a wreck

- Her hair's a mess and half falling out of her ponytail

- Mascara is clumped under her eyes

- Blood is stained on her lip and side of her face

- "Dally...I didn't mean- Jack, he..."

- And that's when he realizes he messed up

- The Gang called him Dally as a nickname

- Hannah called him Dally when she was scared

- So pulls her to Buck's car

- "What did Jack do?"

- Hannah had no idea what to say

- So she passes him the envelope

- Dallas opens it and reads through it

- "Hannah, we knew she wasn't gonna last long."

- He's trying to be nice, but he's just really fucking blunt

- This kid could not care less that his mother is dead

- "Now tell me what Jack fuckin' did."

- So she tells him everything he said

- Dallas is ready to commit a second murder

- He's ready to get away with it, too

- But murder has to wait

- Because Hannah is literally turning green

- They get to Buck's without Hannah puking her guts out on the highway

- So that's a win

- But she's really dizzy
