Loves Her Gun Page #2

---

And you live in this

neighborhood?

Yeah. This is where I live.

- This is your house?

- Yeah.

All right. So what's going on

here? What happened?

I was just walking home.

There any witnesses?

No.

There's nobody with you?

I... no.

So you say you were attacked by

two animals in Bushwick?

Yeah. They were wearing masks,

yeah.

How much were you drinking?

I had, like, a beer at the show.

Uh huh. What kind of beer?

A... Coors Light, I guess?

- From a keg? From a bottle?

- It was a can.

- A can.

- Yeah.

A can of Coors.

And then you were attacked

by a kangaroo.

One was like

a kangaroo type thing,

and I don't know, the other one was

like a lighter... lighter animal.

A lighter colored animal? Are you talking

about a lighter colored black animal?

Or a lighter colored Latino

animal?

You're just lucky

I didn't want to f***.

Allie?

Yeah?

- You okay there?

- Yeah, I'm okay.

I know. It's like,

getting redder, huh?

Sweetie, that is gonna be...

the biggest shiner you have

ever had.

I know.

Let me get you some ice, okay?

Okay.

You've had a night.

You should...

You should probably call your

mom.

If you haven't.

I don't have her number.

Oh God! Sweetie...

I've got to call my grandma.

It's okay.

It's okay, it's okay.

What the f***? You know?

It's like not only do they

steal all your sh*t,

but they like, beat

the sh*t out of you.

They already had my purse.

They didn't need to like,

punch me in the face,

and like, kick me in the ribs.

I just wish that something

really bad could happen to them.

I hate this city.

I hate everything

about it right now.

- Hey.

- Hey!

Come on in. How are you?

You okay?

Yeah.

All aboard, gang?

Hey, welcome.

Jesus. I mean, what happened?

I know. It's really gross,

right?

We just saw you.

I know.

I can't even believe it.

Well, what happened?

Oh, I basically got beat up

and robbed last night,

like, two blocks from my house.

See?

That happened.

You guys are really cool for

taking me, by the way.

- Yeah, no. Talk about a good time.

- Oh, of course.

I'll figure it out

when I get there.

You're fine, which is the

important thing.

Do you... I feel like we need

beer or something.

Drinks would be nice. We should definitely

get drunk at some point in this adventure.

Oh, that will happen.

Don't worry about that.

Smell my finger.

NO!

It smells like spicy pickle.

Maybe if you'd fix the speedometer,

we could go faster.

Maybe if I had the money,

I would.

I'll give you my cash

from the next show.

- Big RV!

- Big RV! - Big RV!

Pick a letter.

R.

S.

Oh man...

- You are really bad at this.

- What? Why? I guessed every one...

One, two, three...

KARATE!

Have you been to Mississippi

before?

No, definitely not.

I don't even think driving

through it, ever.

All right, kiddos.

- Uh, do you have change for a twenty?

- Yeah.

This band's... rockin'.

I'm glad you like them.

I feel it in my groin.

It's a little bit of

a Van Damme there.

Oh, my knee.

- What's up?

- Not much, man.

The hot dogs are f***ing

amazing.

We had to have hot dogs.

- What you need?

- We're about to head out, so...

this is where

I need to get paid.

Oh right. Yeah.

- You got it?

- Yeah.

I got it right here. 47 bones.

American.

So how'd we, uh...

we do?

47 bucks.

47 bucks?

Like 16 bucks a person?

I mean, it could be worse.

You mad?

I'm not mad. I'm just...

We've only got to get to

New Orleans, right?

I mean, we won't make money,

but we'll make enough for gas.

Yeah, that was

the original plan,

but that show actually

just got canceled,

so we're... we...

we don't have that.

- New Orleans got canceled?

- New Orleans got canceled.

Yeah.

F***! F***.

F***. F***, F***. F***!

Yep, sure did.

Here we are.

- Oh, it's so cute.

- Thank you.

This is me.

This is your bed, right here.

- This lovely couch.

- Perfect.

TV, books.

If you want to read.

- Drums. Don't touch them.

- I won't.

I'm just kidding.

Sort of.

Bathroom is around the corner,

to the left.

- Are you thirsty?

- No.

I'll do it. I can...

get my own water.

- I'm so glad you're here.

- I know!

You're so sweet for taking me

in like this

and taking such good care of me.

- Sleep well, okay?

- Okay.

You too.

It's every time, man.

...parking lots, we never

get paid.

F***ing costume.

It's uncomfortable to wear.

Pulling it off, putting it on.

Every single night.

I mean, I love playing in the

band with you guys.

I just...

I... I can't do it this way

anymore.

I can see that.

Whatever your decision,

I respect it.

You should call Zoe, you know?

Because she's going to be

really upset at you.

- The band's very important to her.

- Yeah.

- I'm really sorry.

- Hi.

It gets really hot here,

so I need to get started early.

Oh, right.

Are you living here now?

Is Zoe still there?

No, no, no. Zoe's here.

I'm just staying with her

for a week or two.

Okay, well...

Sorry.

Um...

Since you are up,

can I ask you a favor?

Yeah, sure.

What do you need?

I've just got to get some bags

out of the truck.

It's just really light

peat moss.

Yeah, let me just put shoes on.

Okay, I'll meet you out back.

I'll drive the truck around.

My name is Sarah, by the way.

Oh hey.

I'm Allie.

What are you doing here?

What am I doing?

In Texas, you mean?

Yeah.

Um...

Just...

Hanging out.

I just decided to come here

with some friends.

They gave me a ride.

So how long are you gonna

be here?

I don't know.

Week or two? Three?

It depends.

Do you want a little work?

Because I'm starting another...

kind of big job tomorrow

and I don't have any help.

- Like landscaping work?

- Yeah.

I've never done it.

I don't know how to...

- I wouldn't know where to begin.

- It's not that hard.

If you can lift those bags,

I mean...

It's gonna be some digging.

I'll be there,

so I could just tell you

what to do as we go along.

Um... I just feel like

I'd mess something up if I...

It's landscaping.

It's not that complicated.

It starts early in the morning

though.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

I mean, no. F*** it.

I should do it. I'll do it.

I'll do it, but just be patient

because I don't know how to...

I've been living in Brooklyn

for like, six years, so...

I, I don't...

I don't have plants, even.

All right, well...

Um...

- I'll...

- Good morning, glory!

- Hi.

- I found you.

I thought you ran away.

- Hey Zoe.

- Sarah, how's it going?

- It's good.

- Good.

- So you've met?

- I just got a job.

- You got a job?

- Yes.

- I'm gonna be a landscaper.

- Already?

You're gonna be...

No, that's great. That's great.

That's really nice of you.

Just for like a week or so,

right?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

I mean, like,

she's doing me a favor.

I have so much work to do and

I just need somebody, so...

No, I dig it. It's great.

Awesome.

- So, um...

- What?

So, it's not far from here.

I'll just...

- I'll text Zoe.

- Okay.

- The address, so...

- Okay.

- Yeah.

- Okay. - Awesome.
