Cleaning house

I would glance over at Dally every so often and then he would look at me and smile at me. "So, Johnnycakes what are we going to do when we get there besides clean the apartment?" Dally asked me as we walked down the streets that were pretty well quiet.

"I don't know. Well, can I use the shower and maybe get a new pair of clothes to go down to the station with. I don't think the clothes I have on now are going to be to impressive." Johnny said as I went to laugh.

"Sure Buddy, anything you want. Just don't start go calling me papa or anything got it." I said as we turned the corner that led over to Maple Ave.

"Anything you say Dall. Hey Dally. Do you think that the cops will let me stay with you? With your records and all." I said as Dally stopped to look at me He looked at me as if I was like the lost puppy that everyone was calling me. I hadn't noticed how I really notice how skinny I was until Dally pulled me into a hug. If only he knew how much a home would mean to me.

"I don't know buddy, but we are going to try everything that we can and we are going to hope for the best." Dally said as we continued walking down the street. I sighed and then followed him into a large building complex.

We walked into to a small room that looked like it could use a lot of fixing up. I looked all around and then noticed a man talking with Dally. Once he was finished he walked back over to me. "Hey, Johnny I want you to meet my friend Greg. He is the one who runs this place while I am out to work." I watched as Greg came over to me and then shook my hand.

"So you are Dallas' son." Greg said with a smile. "Not that way, but close as to you will get. Dally has already threatened me that if anything ever happens to you I'm dead. Well I have to get back to work." He then said as he turned to go over to the desk where a person was waiting for him.

"Your son?" I questioned Dally who was smiling to all the end of the earth.

"Yeah. I like to think of you as that kind of responsibility. Just like Darry and his brothers. Well, look you better go hop in the shower. While I start painting the hallway." Dally said as he showed me it the part of the complex that was all ours.

I showered as fast as I could and then changed into clothes that Dally had laid out for me. I went to find Dally and noticed that there was a letter on the kitchen table and I picked it up. It read

Dear Johnny.

I have gone out to the store and I will be back in a few. Please don't leave the house for anything. I will be back shortly to bring you down for questioning. If I'm not back before 3:00 please go and call Darry. He said that he would pick you up and drive you there. I will meet you there then. Please don't get into anything by the way and the hall is wet with the paint so be careful.

Love you always,

Dally

P.S. no one hers of this Love you always. Its like our secret, but always know that I really do love you Johnny. You know that I'm only joking about this right, not the love thing, well you know what I mean. See you seen
