The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete Page #4

---

They let her out of jail

over a month ago.

If she was coming back,

she probably would have by now.

Mister, how did you...

What are you going to do?

I told you.

I'm going to Beverly Hills.

I'll be back in an hour or two.

I'll be back.

Muah! Muah!

Muah! Muah!

What are you laughing at?

Is she coming?

She'll be back.

Is she coming today?

I don't know.

Probably not.

You think it's because you kissed her?

Why do you ask

so many questions?

I mean, you talk more than anybody else

in the world.

You talk more than me.

Nobody talks more than you.

You do.

"Yo this" and "Yo that".

I don't say "Yo" a lot.

I don't feel very well.

Do we have any food left?

Hey, lock the door behind me.

I'll be back in a minute.

But we can't go outside.

Henry!

Hello, Mister.

Have you seen my mom?

She works

this corner sometimes.

Hey, Mister,

I'm doing okay today.

You can have the spot

for rush hour if you want it.

No, thanks.

I need to find her.

Hey, Mister, Mister, Mister...

Hold up.

Third Battalion, fifth Marine.

Gulf War.

Operation Desert Shield.

Good luck to you, Mister.

Hey!

Hey, man!

What's up, little man?

You seen my mom?

She works for you.

She work for me?

She don't work for me, but go ahead.

Come on, man.

You think

I'm wired or something?

I'm not about snitching.

What's her name?

Gloria.

Gloria?

What, with all the tattoos?

I was wondering

where she been myself.

What are you, her son?

You haven't seen her?

Nah.

But when you find her,

tell her to come see me, all right?

Yo, you don't even care

enough to look for her?

She worked for you

for like four years.

What the f***

you just say to me?

That's some bullshit, Kris.

Little Mighty Mouse,

motherf***er.

That was you with Dip Stick?

And all he gave you

was a dollar?

Gimme that!

Move!

Pete!

Pete, let me in!

Sarah passed...

Unit Two, theft reported.

Bedford playground.

Please respond.

Shots fired.

Officer needs assistance.

Unit Two.

Please respond.

Ten-four. Copy.

I'm three minutes away.

It's okay now, Pete.

Sarah passed away.

What's it say?

102, I think.

Is that bad?

How do you feel now?

Better, Mister.

What day is it?

Forget it, Pete.

Forget it?

You need a doctor.

Let's go.

Violet Carson?

Oh, yeah, here.

What's your name?

Mister Winfield.

Ah! What's your first name?

Mister is my first name.

Uh, who's your agent?

Do you have a parent

here with you?

No.

I have this.

We can't see you

unless you have an agent

or at least parental consent.

But I'm really good.

What's that?

I said I'm good.

There's nothing we can do.

I guess you think,

you know, you're like an authority figure.

With that stupid f***ing

uniform, huh, buddy?

King clip-on tie here.

Big f***ing man, huh?

You know,

these are the limits of your life, man.

Ruler of your little

f***in' gate here.

Here. There's your $4,

you pathetic piece of sh*t.

I'm sorry.

I'm going to lie down,

but I'm okay.

I'll be back in an hour.

Wait. I'll come, too.

No, you gotta stay here.

What are you going to do?

Ask for help.

It's fine,

I'll just take the subway.

I have my phone with me,

you don't have to worry.

Oh, great!

Hi.

Um, who are you looking for?

A friend.

Apartment 5.

Alice?

You know where she is?

She moved out.

Run, Pete.

Where do you think

you're going?

Run.

He's going

in the other direction.

I'm not going to tell you one more time.

Look stop, boy.

Goddamn!

Oh, man!

Come here.

Come on, get him to the car.

Yo, Officer!

There go one more right here.

We'll get him later, man.

Thanks for the tip.

Keep it up.

All right, man.

What up, Kris?

You tell me.

Yo, you know they been

living by themselves all summer.

Oh, word?

Yeah, man.

They the reason Housing Authority's

around here so much.

Not you, huh?

No!

Oh!

Yo, they were supposed to be at Riverview

a long time ago.

When I put

the po-po on to Curtis.

F***.

Okay.

What I mean is...

Yes?

The police, they was accusing me

of breaking into apartments.

Right.

And...

What you saying?

They said they would drop it

if I gave them something.

I just told them Curtis

was selling, that's it.

So you gave them Curtis.

That's it, man.

Nothing about you.

Just Curtis...

Right.

Because you wouldn't

snitch on me, right?

Ah, hell, no! I wouldn't snitch on you.

Hell, no, man.

'Cause you're my man.

Hell, yeah!

When niggas be talking

about you bad,

I be the one

that's defending you.

Word up.

What's your name, man?

Dartavius Stallsworth.

Okay, Mr. Stallsworth.

See those two ugly,

sweaty dudes over there?

I want you to become

friends with them.

Okay?

We all gonna

take a ride together.

Let's take a ride.

Get him.

You got clout, right?

What?

You got a job for me?

A job for you?

What you talking about, man?

You strung out?

Yeah, he looks strung out.

I don't mess

with that stuff, man.

I just need a job.

You ever find your mom?

She's dead.

Look, everybody

gotta die, little man.

Just give me a job.

I'll do whatever you want.

You don't have to pay me.

What, are you

gonna work for free?

I just want my friend

out of Riverview.

You can make

that happen, right?

Everybody says you're the sh*t.

You get things done.

I'll work for you, Kris.

Just get my friend out.

Look...

Take this, all right?

You don't work for free.

I just want my friend back.

I'll teach you a lesson!

Kris!

Kris!

You need a lesson.

Come on. Let's go, man.

This ain't our fight. Let's roll.

Think you can steal from me?

Think you can wreck my store?

You! Drop the kid.

Put down the goddamn kid!

Son of a b*tch!

That little rat stole from me!

He wrecked my store.

Get the f*** out of here.

Cuff him.

Apartment 3E?

We took your momma away a couple

of months ago. She around?

Get up.

All summer, huh?

Keep your head up, son.

What are you?

13? 14 years old?

Keep fighting.

There ain't no ceiling

for a kid like you.

I can't do it alone.

What's that?

I can't do it alone.

None of us can.

Wait right there.

Uh, this is Mister Winfield.

Come on.

There's things to do.

Games.

Come on.

Yo, what's your problem?

Come on, honey.

Come on.

Mister.

Not while we're here.

Understand?

So what's up?

Nothing.

I'm not sick anymore

and the food here is pretty good.

Who did that to your eye?

I don't know their names.

Show them to me.

Mister is being

released to you

with the understanding

that you will continue your rehab.

How was he?

Not too bad.

A couple of incidents,

but he was protecting a friend.

He barely had time

to settle in.

He's been here all summer

and didn't settle in?

No.

No?

He's only been

with us two weeks.

Where was he before that?

I don't know.

All I know is Housing Authority

picked him up from home.

When I was arrested

they told me that he would be brought here.

I thought he was safe.

I thought he was... I thought he was here.

Our records show

that you were released over two months ago.
