The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete Page #2

---

Grab some jelly

from the fridge,

grab some bread,

make a sandwich.

Alice.

Come for a ride

with me, Mister.

What's up, Alice?

Let's go for a ride.

I got my board.

I see. You got something

better going on or what?

All right.

I can kick it

with you for a minute.

He with you?

Who?

You sure you don't wanna

check on her?

Nah, she's all right.

She's probably asleep.

She works nights, so...

I saw you when I was

getting ready for my run.

You see me?

When I was skating?

I thought maybe that was you.

I see you out there

every Saturday, Mister.

You wanna know

who that man I was with is?

B*tch, you think I'm

giving you sh*t for free?

Say I'll work for it one more time

and I'll f*** your sh*t up!

You know her?

Yeah, that's... That's...

Nah.

I don't know her.

Go ahead, Pete.

Why do you frown so much?

Doesn't it make your face hurt?

Anyways...

Anyways.

I miss you, knucklehead.

I miss hanging out

in our building.

You were always so sweet to me.

Just tell me you miss me too.

I guess.

I don't know.

I really haven't seen you

since you dropped out

and moved out of our building.

You got a maid now.

So...

Look in that

duffel bag over there.

It's yours if you want it.

Where'd you get all this?

You got to go.

Take the bag.

I might not be able to take this

stuff on the plane to Beverly Hills.

Maybe you can sell it.

Tell your mom thank you

for the donuts and milk, please.

I live by myself, Pete.

Your parents let you

live by yourself?

Come on.

Oh, have fun at Riverview.

Word got out.

Curtis sung like a jay bird.

Anybody and everybody that works

for Kris, boom, they're out of here.

Everybody know your mom

ho for that cat.

She going to jail.

Where you think

you're going, huh?

It's inevitable.

Inevitable, baby!

Hey!

What is it now?

Come on, Pete!

Go, go.

Shh!

Open up!

Who is it?

Open up!

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Hold on, I'm coming.

Hurry up!

We have a warrant

to search the premises.

I'm gonna need you to sit down.

Yeah, I got the living room. Let me check.

Hands on your lap, please.

Oh! Oh, yeah.

We got something.

Hey, Sarge.

Found this in the living room.

Syringe, spoon,

lighter's still warm.

Check the bedroom.

All right.

Sh*t.

Anybody in here?

Aye, Sarge.

Uh, I checked the other bedroom.

It's empty.

Seems to be

clear in here as well.

I bet you we just missed him.

The mother's pretty messed up.

Leave him this.

He'll be wondering

where his momma is.

Take her down.

Let's go.

And when you see the kid,

make sure you grab him.

Bring the bag.

All right. I got it.

You should change.

Can I have some

privacy, please?

It's going to be a heat advisory

from noon until 8:00 p. m. on Thursday.

So here's some

quick tips for you.

Wear light colored clothing.

It will reflect the sun rays...

Today in New York,

we're already in the 80's,

and we're going for

once again 100 degrees.

This pirate game

was your idea, Timmy.

Besides, it's my

favorite color.

Argh!

Okay. I'll give it a shot.

Not so fast, Greenbeard!

En garde!

It's time for you to go home.

I could just stay with you.

She's not home.

Hi, Peter.

Is there something

I can help you with?

How do you know Pete?

I used to babysit for him once in a while.

Right, Peter?

Well can you watch him

until his mom gets here?

I'd be happy to.

Come on, Peter. Come on.

Yeah?

He's filthy.

He needs a bath.

Let's go, Pete.

Oh, I'm gonna call the police.

She ever do stuff

to you before?

She makes me sit in the bathtub

with my clothes off.

She ever touch you?

Why didn't you

tell me anything?

You said don't snitch.

Come on.

So, I can stay with you?

Moms will be out

in a few days.

I'll just pawn some stuff

from around the house

so we can eat

till she gets back.

Promise?

Yeah.

Let's go.

I'm just getting some stuff.

No. I need some privacy.

There's a turkey

in the freezer.

What? You promised.

See, right there,

just like that.

You got to be prepared to run.

Know what I mean?

Why?

You wanna end up in Riverview?

That's why.

"Niggas for life. "

What did you say?

You my nigga, Pete?

I'm Korean.

You can still be my nigga.

Do I have to be?

Stay here.

The turkey!

Sh*t.

Are we going to

ask for help, Mister?

We can't tell anybody

we're on our own.

Don't tell anybody.

Matter of fact,

you don't talk at all.

Housing Authority catches us out here,

that's a wrap.

So we got to lay it low.

Because we might end up

in Riverview, right?

Is it true that two kids

were killed there once?

More than two, Pete.

Way more.

Wait here.

Hey, hey.

Told you not to come in here.

What are you doing here?

I told you you're banned.

Hey, don't touch that.

You put that down.

Hey! Get out of my store!

Hey, n*gger.

Hey! Hey!

You little punk!

Look, I'm gonna pay him back

as soon as I get some money.

Really?

Really.

Soon as Mom gets home,

she can take care of it.

Things will be better

when she comes home.

She can take me to my audition.

What audition?

For a TV show

I'm going to be on.

I really don't want to

get into it.

But it shoots in Beverly Hills.

Maybe I can come, too.

No. When Mommy comes back,

she can take care of your situation.

We just need to make it

another day or two.

Mister! Mister!

That's my mom's friend.

He's not her friend, trust me.

You know him?

Everybody knows him.

That's Kris.

My mom works for him,

your mom works for him.

That's how

they know each other.

He's cool. He's been

to my house before.

Maybe he can help us.

Yeah, help us get high or...

What?

We don't need his help.

We gonna put their face down.

Better write that in stone.

Let's go.

Thank you.

What's up, Henry?

What's up, what?

I'm here to work this corner.

Too bad.

"Too bad?" What do you mean

"Too bad"? I'm here to work it.

Tough cookie, Mister.

Tough cookie?

Yeah.

Tough cookie.

Now move on.

I don't have time

for your crap today.

Crap? What crap?

You know what?

Stop doing that.

Stop repeating

everything I say.

I hear what

you're trying to do.

Man, what's your problem, yo?

And push your lips

back into your face!

You think you can intimidate people

into giving you a handout?

Nobody owe you nothing!

Man, whatever, yo.

Yeah, whatever. Move on.

I'm working this spot.

You can go find yourself your own corner.

What war?

What war, Henry?

What's it to you?

You're a veteran.

What war, Henry?

You better get the hell

out of here.

That's what I thought.

You're the real scumbag, Henry.

Come on, Pete.

Real respectful, Mister.

You're a real winner.

Eat a dick, tough cookie.

What?

$17.

Mister, how long has

your mom been gone?

I don't know.

Usually they keep her

for a day or two,

never more than two weeks.

It's been longer than that.

Hey, look down

and keep walking.

Motherfuck.

Crap.

Yes.

I'm calling to check on the

status of Gloria Winfield.

She was booked,

about three weeks ago.

I'm her brother.

Okay.
