"What?" Dallas barked over the phone.

Adelaide sat on the counter and twirled the phones coward between her fingers,"Hey Dallas, you don't sound all that happy to hear from me,"

"Oh hey babydoll," His voice immediately softened. "Sorry, they said the call was from my lawyer,"

"And that's how you speak to your lawyer?"

"Yeah the mans a dope. Doesn't know his foot from his ass man."

"Who is it?"

"Romano,"

"Oh yeah, my dads always goin' off 'bout I'm."

"Why?"

"My dads a lawyer,"

"Think he'd represent me?"

"Yeah I don't think he likes his clients to be a hundred and ten percent guilty,"

"Awe common doll face you don't really believe that."

"Dallas, I don't even know what you're away for and yet I wholeheartedly know you are guilty."

"I'm hurt baby, real hurt,"

Adelaide laughed, "Whatever. So how long you'll be gone?"

"Two months," He answered grimly.

Adelaide felt her heart sink. She didn't know why the idea of not seeing Dallas for two months upset her so much but it did.

"Oh okay,"

"Shit I'm almost outta time. Bye baby don't miss me too much." And the line went dead.
