Sleepwalking Page #3

Hey, Danni.

You wanna have lunch

with a couple of handsome guys?

Sure. Point 'em out for me.

Ha!

I know you love a man in a uniform.

She ain't bad.

You got trouble out there.

He's on the other side right now.

Joleen?

What?

These are yours.

Did you see Mom?

No.

Hey, Tara?

Hey, come on.

She says she's got a plan.

She says she'll be back

for your birthday.

That's... That's, uh,

just a month from now, right?

It won't be so bad, you know?

Come on.

L- l... I'll do whatever you want to do.

You... You tell me what to do,

and I'll do it, okay?

We'll have fun.

You know, l-l...

I'm gonna need a ride to school...

from now on.

I can get a ride back here,

but you're gonna

have to drive me to school.

What about the bus?

The bus doesn't come out here.

Anyway, the bus sucks.

I- I guess you could ride my bike

if you want.

I'm not riding your stupid bike.

I can barely touch the pedals.

You can drive my mom's car.

I don't... I don't drive, though.

And I don't think she would be

too happy about that, either.

Then I guess I'll just sit here

in your shitty apartment

until my mom comes back!

Where are the gears?

There are no gears, Uncle James.

It's an automatic.

It's way easier driving without gears.

You just drive.

R is reverse.

Let's go.

This is it. Here. Here!

Oh. Sorry.

Okay, Tara.

Have a nice... day.

Higher. Higher.

Set them there by the jungle gym.

I've never seen you drive before.

Oh, yeah.

You know Tara. She...

She had to get to school, so...

What about her mother?

Why didn't she take her?

Oh, she's gonna be gone for a while.

Well, where has she gone?

I don't know.

Don't worry.

I'm... I'm taking care of Tara.

James, look, I think it's great

that you're trying,

but you gotta watch it.

You're gonna get yourself

in all sorts of sh*t here.

I don't know what else to do.

You want something else?

I can make something else.

There's nothing here anyway.

What do you want to do tonight?

Can we go look for Mom tomorrow?

After my work.

No. In the morning.

Well, we can't do that.

I've... I've gotta go to work,

and you've got school, too.

Well, you just asked me

what I wanted to do.

Yeah, but l-l...

So you didn't mean it?

I want to look for Mom tomorrow.

This is James.

James.

Yeah. Speedy. Right.

Is Mr. Carvel there?

Okay. Well, could you tell him,

uh, that I can't come into work today

because of my back?

Just... What's that? Yeah.

I- I know. Okay.

Can we go?

Uncle James?

Yeah.

Barbara!

What?

And what are you two

doing here in the middle of the day?

- We're looking for Joleen.

- Joleen?

Well, she's not here.

Isn't she with Warren?

Warren's in jail, Mrs. Bergen,

if you didn't know already.
