Lowriders Page #2

on the coil like I said?

Yeah, we're working on it.

It will lay three more inches!

I know.

Hey, Danny.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Okay.

Get ready for dinner.

Hi, flaquita.

Hey, Danny.

Isabel. You have to eat

the chicken too,

not just the rice.

And don't forget, tomorrow

we are going to Mrs. aguilar's

for your quinceanera dress.

Ma? Mrs. aguilar?

Look, I already told you

i found my dress at forever 21.

You're not going to wear

a store dress.

Forever 21? You ain't no 21.

That's the point.

If it's up to her I'm going

to look like it's my first

communion.

You have a date already,

flaquita loca?

Hey. No dates, alright.

You're too young.

Have you heard from Francisco?

You mean ghost?

He got out this week.

Wondering if you heard from him.

So, is he going to stay here?

He's more than welcome to

if he wants.

We're not talking about that.

Why not?

Why can't we talk about ghost?

Danny! Wait!

Leave him alone.

Who's there?

Will you look at that?

I'm back for two seconds.

You're already

trying to kill me?

Come here.

Show your big brother some love.

Oh, man.

Look at this pretty boy.

How you been, carinito?

I'm sorry I didn't call you...

I didn't call you back.

No. Don't even trip.

I'm back now.

What's this? Huh? What is this?

What are you doing in here?

Oh, yeah? You got into

graffiti and sh*t.

A little bit.

A little tagger.

Hey? You need a place to stay?

No. I got a place.

You take her out yet?

No.

My abuelito did that mural.

That's the only reason

she's worth anything.

Pops ever tell you that?

No.

Yeah.

A lot of things

he didn't tell you.

Come on.

Get in. We're going

to celebrate my freedom.

Come on, little bro.

It's all good.

I don't know, ghost.

You don't know?

So, where them hoes at?

I know a place we could hit up.

You think we can, uh, swoop up

my homie first real quick?

For sure.

Anything you want, bro.

That's him.

Cut the hair,

you might land that Ollie...

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Oh, sh*t.

What's up? I, I don't know

if you remember me.

I'm chuy herrera.

Yeah, I remember you chuyito.

So, what's up?

You going to come or what?

For real? I mean, is it,

is it cool with you?

If he says you're cool,

you're cool, little homie.

But you ain't bringing

that board in this ride.

What, uh... sh*t, this?

I'm done with it!

Don't touch anything.

You down to go to the smell?

There are ladies there?

You don't even know.

You do, huh?

Oh, yeah.

All of it. Inside and out,

like the back of my hand.

They be coming on me like honey.

That's ridiculous.

Dog, what is this?

It looks like a bounce house

full of retarded skaters.

I know! It's awesome!

I'll be back.

You don't like dancing?

What?

Everybody's dancing.

You're just here

sittin' all alone.

Well, I didn't

come here to dance.

Well, then,

why did you come here?

You came here to look

at derivative photos

on the wall

nobody ever looks at?

Yeah, well, I took them, so...

Yeah.

I like them. I mean,

i guess they're not so bad.

They're black. They're white.

Are we done?

So what, you're not gonna

talk to me now?

Well, you know what?

That's a problem.

Because if you sell one

of those, you're going to

owe me some money.

Excuse me?

That's my piece.

Where? What, that?

Yeah.

If that's your piece,

then what does it say?

What do you mean? It says draw.

It's my tag name.

Mm. Isn't that a little obvious?

Well, what's your tag name?

Hipster?

You don't believe that's me?

I think you're gonna

have to prove it.

Well, this isn't awkward.

I showed you mine,

now you show me yours.

Slow down, tiger.

Oh, i-I'm a tiger?

Well...You're a p*ssy.

I'm a p*ssy?

You just called me a p*ssy?

Mm-hm.

Alright.

See?

Yeah? Well, I can tag too.

By the way, my name is Lorelei.

You better, uh, write this down,

'cause I'm not

keeping it up here

for the whole world to see.

Five. Four...

Oh, come on. For real?

Three...

Slow down.

Two. One.

Hey, Danny! You taking

one of your monster dumps?

I don't know

who the hell that is.

For real, hurry up!

Your brother's leaving!

I'll text you.

Oh! Pretty good.

Let me see your ink.

You designed that?

Yeah.

It's tight.

It's fading though.

Yeah.

I could fill that in

for you, if you want.

You going to take it back now?

Simon ese. I got you.

I won't let you get in trouble

with the old man.

How's he treating you anyway?

He's still drinking?

No.

He's on that

aa twelve-step bullshit.

You know he got remarried?

Her name's Gloria.

You going to see him?

Sh*t.

He didn't come

to see me one time

in all the years I was busted.

What makes you think

he'd want to see me now?

I remember when I was a kid,

I used to watch my pops

and ghost work on cars.

My pops always said one day,

we'd all build a car together

and win at elysian park

with it.

He was never the same

after mom passed.

He always said,

"lowriders are about family."

Maybe he should take a look

at his family now.

Right on the hood.

It's, uh, it's kind of big.

You know, you can't miss...

Can't miss that.

So, there's no sign

of forced entry?

No.

No broken windows,

no broken locks.

No. Nothing like that.

It was a clean job.

Okay. Alright. That's...

What happened?

Someone, uh,

took green poison.

Daniel? Come here. Quick.

Green poison is missing.

This is detective Williams.

How you doin', Danny?

Your father tells me

you work here as well.

I was wondering if you noticed

anything out of the ordinary.

No?

No.

You sure?

Son, do you know anything?

No.

What's up, big homie?

Sh*t, bro. How you been?

You're real funny,

you know that?

What, pops?

No love for your oldest?

I couldn't bring her back

without a nice detailing.

Courtesy of central

city car club.

My new club.

She rode smooth, pops.

Better than I even remembered.

A little loose

on the turns though.

Might want to get that

checked out before elysian.

You would've been proud.

Me and Danny

cruising the boulevard

in your pride and joy.

Ain't that what you say

you always wanted?

Mr. Alvarez, you want us

to take him in?

I'm happy to write it up.

My manners. I'm sorry.

I ain't introduced myself,

officer.

No, I know who you are,

Francisco.

Yeah, I also know your p.O.

Mr. Alvarez, your call.

It's okay.

That's my ride.

I hope the shop's

been doin' really well.

'Cause that prize money

might just end up in my pocket.

It was fun catching up, boys.

I'll see you at elysian, pops.

What were you thinking?

Nothing happened.

It's just a car.

Just a car?

Do you think that's just a car?

Do you know how much

heart and soul

went into that car, Daniel?

That is your heritage!

It's priceless!

This is a work of art!

Something you know

nothing about!

You know what?

I guarantee you

I'm going to make it

with my art.

You're just like your brother.

You both are... hopeless.

He's your son, pops!

And you couldn't even

look him in the eye.

You're gonna just pretend

like he doesn't exist?

Like you have
