He woke up to his door being pounded on.

"Open up its the police." 

Fuck James thought, he was just here, what was he going to tell them, Did Big Joe rat me out. Im doing nothing. 
He looked around the apartment. What if there's like a gun here. His car....

Now the lighter was in Dick's hands. It clicked open with a satisfying sound, and the flame was large but steady. Dick after the joint was lit, slammed the lighter shut extinguishing the flame. 

"Thats such a sick lighter. I still can't believe you found that. Like it was just...

The cigarette from his hand flickered like a leaf from a tree in fall. The time it took out from the hand to the ground seemed to take forever. More cars passed by, punctuating and interrupting their thoughts. There was a pause between the two of them. Watching the cigarette...

"Two omlettes please just the western, with hashbrowns and a cup of coffee."

Out in the sunshine, on the hot asphalt, James woohed and slapped Big Joe on the back.

"That was easy, in and out." They had already switched to normal close their ear plugs off, and guns hidden. James had a hat, Big Joe just sun glasses.

Big Joe responded in...

He knew his father, Dick. A long time ago Butch and him were on a ship together. Touring all the bases. From Italy to Japan, they were part of the sonar team. Most of the time though was spent messing around. Cards, and drinking, and laughing. Talking about people back...
