A black duffel rode in the back seat like a passenger.

He was bouncing on his heels until he saw who had come around the corner, and then he stopped.

“You’re supposed to stay a hundred feet from my mother.” He held up a folded paper.

“She has a piece of paper that says so.”

“She has a lot of paper.”

“You think a piece of paper is going to save you now?”

“No.” I stayed by his bumper.
