Chapter Four
A night on
the town
I treated my brothers to dinner, with the hundred Al gave me for a hotel room I broke into. The food was ok, but really mom could cook better. If Deigo and Randall hadn't put in the tip we wouldn't have been able to get out of there. I had to promise Deigo he could have half the bed back at the hotel room just to get him to tip, he doesn't to this day believe in tipping. If I remember right, the check we ran up to one hundred kersmicks, all we got was three steaks and six cold ones. The price didn't bother me, it wasn't coming out of my wallet; I just put the tab on Al's tab. Of course, I did put in a few green backs in the tip; I'm not that cheap.
After that we grabbed the cheapest suits we could find. One store had some nice ones that fit us for seventy-five each, the ties were a little too expensive so we stole three of them to go with the threads. We jumped back in the furroary and drove of for a night on the town. I stopped and grabbed about a thousand Kersmicks I had stashed away from a previous job.
We picked up Deigo's girlfriend, Lizzy and went pedal to the medal. Lizzy was a nice girl, she and Deigo really loved each other. That was something you don't find very often. Randall's girl was out of town, so to speak, Randall had her put in a safe house for her own good. Randall was a nice guy when it came to the ladies, but when it came down to business Randall did what it took. We must have hit every club in town that night; it was an old Boggs tradition, party the night before a job and forget all your troubles. At about midnight we dropped Lizzy back at her place and went to the motel. We snuck in to the room to find it just as I had left it.
"Nice room, Val. How much you paying a night?" Randall plopped down in front of the TV; Deigo went to soak in the mega tub.
"Oh, wow! Look at this tub!" "This place is great!"
"Well, Rand' this place is free." I laughed, thinking what Al would say. We had the lights turned off; the only light was that from the TV. The room was lit only with its warm mellow glow. The flickering shadows danced across the cheap wallpaper and as I had feared the bed was only big enough for two Boggs, so I'd be sleeping on the sofa.
About an hour later we were all in bed, or sofa in my case. "I don't want any funny business from you two lovebirds, you hear me," I joked.
A tired and annoyed, "Yes, mother," was all I heard.
