head. Steve snuck his hand to his side and Trash scuffled a
foot or two and secretly handed him the object. Then Trash
asks, “Hey ladies. What do you think of the TV show ‘Suits’?
Connie spoke first, “It is just too full of itself. I am not that
fond of it.”
Steve, Tommy and Trash cackle like witches drinking Tabasco
and file out of the house as the women stare vacantly in their
direction. Then Wanda stands up straight, opens her eyes wide
and says:
"She's coming soon!" Then she sits down and smiles. All the
other women repeat that she is coming and nod their heads.
Then they all look at Trash blankly.
“It’s been fun.” Says Steve. Shaking his head at the absurdity
of it all.
“Goodnight.” Trash waves, blowing kisses. The women all
giggle and put their hands to their faces. As they head for the
car, Tommy’s cellphone rings. He ignores it and waves
goodbye as he heads out the door. The cellphone call had been
from Tommy’s new superior Richard Fogg. Tommy began to
panic loudly, whimpering unintelligibly. Steve punches him in
the arm twice and he calms down.
