Gwen was home after finishing her shift at the motel. As she walked home, she noticed her brothers, Lip and Ian, along with Mandy walking and walked up in between Lip and Mandy, wrapping her arms around their shoulders, starling them at first, but then they smiled when they saw it was her.
"Hey guys! You walking home from school?" She asked with a mile, knowing they had a half-day at school today, due to budget cuts. They nodded, "Cool, hey would mind if I tagged along with you?"
"Not at all!" Mandy chuckling, while Gwen's brothers nodded, making her smile as they started walking together. After a while, Mandy decided to start a conversation,
"Hey, wanna catch of movie later?" She asked Ian, "Brandy can sneak us in."
Ian shook his head, "Can't. Gotta be at work by 3:00."
"I wouldn't mind coming." Gwen chimed in, making Mandy smile at her.
"Sweet!" She high-fived Gwen, as the continued walking.
"Nice jacket Kash bought you, by the way." Lip commented on Ian's new jacket. The mention of Kash made Gwen scrunch her face in disgust.
"Thanks." Ian responded.
"Yeah. Tell Kash I'll take it in the ass if it gets me free stuff." Mandy joked, this even made Gwen laugh at her comment.
"Hey!" They turned towards a man standing outside of a meat truck, "Hey, yeah, I'm talking to you." He said as he approached them.
"Yeah?" Gwen asked.
"You got a phone?" The man asked.
"What? Your truck break down?" Lip asked the obvious.
"No, genius, I like standing in the middle of a shitty neighborhood with my dick in my hands." The man snapped, in a sarcastic tone.
"Hey, don't get salt, mister!" Gwen warned.
"Look, I'm already two hours late on this load. I try to take one shortcut, this is what I get. My goddamn kid drained my phone playing 'Doodle Jump'. My goddamn wife took my charger. Listen, I'll give you five bucks if you let me use your phone. Just-just one call." The man begged.
"Well, I wish we could help, but we don't have any phones." Gwen lied, "Our dad won't led us the phone to buy them. But if you really need a phone, there's a bar about 10 blocks that way." She pointed behind her.
"It's called O'Flaherty's. Just tell them your family's form County Cork." Gwen informed him.
"Ten blocks." The guys asked in disbelief.
"Maybe five. Straight shot." Ian added.
"You'll get there faster if you run." Gwen piled on.
The man signed deeply, before pulling out 5 bucks out of his pocket, "This is your if you keep an eye on the truck."
"5 bucks?" Lip asked in fake astonishment.
"Oh, cool. Thanks mister." Ian said, as Gwen nodded at the man, who starteed walking in the direction Gwen told him to go. He stopped for a second and turned back towards them, pointing.
"Hey, hey, make sure no one gets near it."
"You got it." Gwen gave him thumbs up as he continued to walk. Once he was out of ear shot, Gwen and Lip pulled out their phones. Lip called Kevin, while Gwen called her boyfriend,
"Hey, babe. Hey, listen can you come over to 43rd and Galsted? And bring the crowbar. Okay, thank you. Love you." Gwen told her boyfriend, before hanging up.
