Sid woke up the next morning at about 11:00 with a major hangover. He had
partied with Andy and a bunch of girls until 2:00 AM. He was a so drunk
that Vince had to drive him home.
"Where do I keep the damn tylenol around here?" Sid asked himself as he got out of bed.
He walked out into the living room and then to the kitchen. It took him a few minutes but he found the tylenol and filled a glass with water. He popped two tablets into his mouth and the gulped down the water. As Sid was setting the glass down onto counter, Sid jumped when the phone starting ringing. The glass made a loud crash as it shattered across the floor. Not surprisingly, Sid's swearing was louder than the crash.
"Hello?" Sid's groggy voice said into the receiver.
"Hey, Sid. This is Andy."
"Hey."
"Sorry to call so early," Andy said sarcastically, "but I need you for another job."
"Its okay. I was already up. And I thought I got the day off today," Sid said irritably.
"Aw, shit! I guess you didn't hear yet. One of our guys had a big party last night. I'm talkin' a huge-ass party, you know what i mean? And a bunch of those bastards from the Cartel busted in and started mowing people down. Like twenty of our guys are dead and five are wounded. Not to mention all the other people that are dead now. I guess organized crime puts everybody in danger, huh?"
"Yeah, well at least Tony won't be alone down there now," Sid said as an attempt as humor.
After a brief pause, Andy said, "I guess you're pretty lucky too. If we would have brought you into the gang a few days a go, you might have been at that party and you might down in the morgue now too."
"I guess I am lucky then," Sid said solemnly.
"Anyway, how soon can you get down to O'Malley's?" Andy asked.
"Give me an hour."
"Fine. And you don't have to go through that mess up front. I'll meet you in the garage."
"Allright; sounds good. Bye." Sid said and hung up the phone.
