Absolutely not.

[We're in a bad one, brother.

Richie was also looking for a place to park ass in the fresh air after all that. For once he isn't smoking, looking wearied but what else is new.]

Mind if I join you? I'm not feeling up to scrounging for dinner just yet.

[fending]

Sure, why not.

[ gestures to the spot next to him. ]

Get your grass stains now before you have to worry 'em bein' used against you in trial.

[gutterbound]

Ha! What luck. I was just thinking these jeans were missing some pizzazz.

[He will settle down next to him. We gaze into the void together.]

Rough week for you, huh?

[your dang brother]

[fending]

[ sighs... so deeply. ]

Yeah, it sure was. Comes back bleedin' twice in one soddin' week.

[gutterbound]

I hope it's not a habit of his.

[Though he can only be faulted for one of those trips. Richie's mouth quirks.]

I do hate to say it, but we're probably all going on a joyride, sooner or later. Seems like it's gonna be making rounds, same as the weekend court sessions. He's going to have to repay the favour for you eventually.

[ he frowns; it's not like he hasn't been thinking about that. he doesn't really care what happens to him, but... ]

That's one of the last things I want him dealin' with.

[gutterbound]

I get it.

[Big brother syndrome. Bill was like that, back before Georgie passed.

He purses his lips.]

Hell, maybe he won't. We could lick this thing before everyone gets a turn. Wishful thinking, but you never know.

[fending]

[ on the other hand, he could also just die before he gets a turn, he thinks. ]

Yeah, not puttin' any money on that, but. Sure, maybe.
