Once Fallen Page #4

---

I own the building.

It's the least I can do.

What's the catch?

Catch? There Ain't no

catch. Just think about this fight, baby.

I'll think about it.

You know what, Eddie? I would like to do

something with my life

other then fight

and deal drugs.

Why?

Mommy, mommy, mommy!

Mommy, mommy!

What?

What? F*** kid, what?

May I have

some water?

Yeah. A glass

of water.

Here.

Thank you, Daddy.

Can you go

back to sleep now?

Yes.

Mommy isn't coming

back, is she?

No.

But, hey, it is time

for you to go to sleep.

So, lie back down there

and I'm gonna tell you a story, okay?

Just try to close

your eyes.

[knocking on door]

Hi.

Hi.

I just heard you guys

moving in and I just wanted to say hello.

I'm, uh, Chance.

I'm Pearl.

Pearl !

Hi, hot shot.

How you doing?

So you know

the kid, huh?

Oh, yeah. Um,

I would watch him at Eddie's

when Kat wasn't around, which was

most of the time.

Right, right.

You want a soda?

Yeah, sure!

Hey, why don't you run

and give Pearl a soda?

Please. Thank you.

Take a seat.

Okay.

So, how long have

you been here?

Um, a year.

Cheap rent.

Yeah, yeah. It's just

temporary for me

till I figure out

what I'm gonna do next.

Funny. That's what I said.

Didn't mean it

to sound like that.

It's okay.

Thanks!

So, you must be one

of Eddie's girls, right?

No, I am not one

of Eddie's girls.

You?

One of Eddie's

girls? No.

No, I meant, are

you friends with him?

Not exactly. You?

Not exactly.

I should go.

I'll see you

guys around.

Feel free to go.

You don't have to rush off.

I-I should.

Thanks for the soda.

Yeah.

God bless you !

Okay, bye. Thanks.

Wow.

Hey, what's up?

Hey, Sonny.

M ind if I come in?

Yeah, come on in.

How are you

doin', brother?

All right. You

got some business?

Just a couple

of things.

Contract got played,

so that's one less name in the hat.

And, uh, your

boy, he's gone.

Yeah, that was old business. Not my call.

What else do you got?

Listen, man, I've been

giving this a lot of thought, all right?

Your son.

If we give him

control over San Pedro,

and with his network,

all the problem

I foresee is,

we can keep in the product store to keep up with the

demand. What do you think?

No.

You know, I would think

that you would want your son to have a post

as opposed to being

in an early grave.

No one goes

near my son.

End of story.

Listen. You know,

when I go through out there,

taking out my ass

here for you,

it's like covering

for your ass, okay?

You're making us all

look f***ing bad.

Making who

look bad?

Hm?

We got a problem

here, Sonny?

No, I ain't got no

problem. You're the boss.

I ain't got no

problem.
