"So the Girls actually Brought in one of those answering machine Thingys. Can you imagine that Coop? It must have cost an arm and a leg" Jenny said.
"Yeah, those things are expensive" Coop said poking at Jenny's burnt toast with his fork.
"And I told Charlie that you'd help her with that Traffic ticket. I said you'd meet her at lunch" Jenny said.
"I'll have a look at it Jen, but I can't promise her anything" Coop said. Coop kind of expected it. When someone was dating a Cop. It was bound to come up.
That a Girl would want Favours and Law advice and things like that. Cop just didn't want to make it a regular thing. Of course Charlie's problems were a welcome distraction...
If he focused on Charlie, he didn't have to focus on Jenny, and how long they were going to last.
"So you'll go to see her?" Jenny asked. "Yeah sure" Coop said. She kissed him on the cheek and rubbed his back. It only made him think of the Elephant in the room.
Before work, he went over to Charlie's place. Charlie was a small over the top Brunette, that lived on the poor side of town. Charlie and Jenny had known each other for Years.
It wasn't long before Coop was driving Jenny to Charlie's place every weekend.
"Hey Coop, come in. Do you want Tea Coffee? A Milkshake? Something Stronger? She asked. Coop shook his head.
"It's Early. So, You got something for me Charlie?" Coop asked. After making herself a drink, Charlie took the Traffic Ticket out of her bra.
"Come on Charlie, do you want Jenny knowing that I touched this?" Coop said grabbing the ticket anyway.
"Come on Coop, seeing you is the closest to dating that I get. So do I have to pay? Or can I tell the Pigs to go and screw themselves?" She asked.
"You were Speeding Charlie. Sorry but you're gonna have to pay" Coop said, Reading the Ticket.
"That sucks" Charlie said. After talking about how bad the Ivory Giants were doing this season, Coop had to make a move. He hugged Charlie goodbye. She closed the door. Coop turned and bumped into a guy with UPS overalls.
"Sorry" He said.
"Hey Coop" Jimmy said. Coop shrugged at him. The last time they'd met, it was Frosty. It was always Frosty between them. But if Jimmy had found an honest job, then what was the point in holding a Stupid Grudge?
"So this is what you're doing now Bruno?" Coop asked. "There's no need to be embarrassed" Coop said.
"I'm just gonna be honest with you Coop" Jimmy said. "I'm working for Gavrik" Jimmy said.
"Fuck, Sash Gavrik. He's a bigger asshole than Mcree" Coop said. He done his work on Gavrik. Now Jimmy was working for him, it was about time Jimmy knew the facts
.
Gavrik was a Control freak. He was a creep too. He used "Bodyguards" to get rid of competition. The Guys that told him to fuck off, were either buried in debt in Six Months. Or, they were never seen again.
"Jimmy...we need to talk" Coop said. Believe it not, Jimmy was willing to listen. His bruises had healed from the beating. He looked better than ever. But Coop couldn't focus on that. They went to a local cafe and drank coke from heavy bottles.
"About Gavrik..." Coop began.
"About Jenny" Bruno said. How far do you wanna to go with her?" You obviously can't have Sex!" Jimmy explained.
"Jimmy, keep your voice down, okay? You can't tell me what I can and can't do. Anyway. Pop said I'd always make a good Dad" Coop said. But even he wasn't sure if that was true.
"You'd make a Good kiddie Play-mate Coop. But you wouldn't be a Good Dad" Bruno told him simply.
"What? Why? So you're saying I'm too selfish?" Coop asked angrily.
"No. It's not that. You're just too used to being the "Single Guy" You like The magic of being Single. You know? You like going out there and doing your own thing with the ladies. You don't want to be tied down Coop" Jimmy said.
"And you know What Coop? I don't blame you. The last thing you wanna do, is be tied down with a Couple of kids. You don't want to ask yourself why you've married a Girl that you don't love. You're a just a Wild Horse Coop. Don't let your Pop put a saddle on you" Jimmy said pausing to take another sip.
"Jimmy, I'm not gonna live your life" Coop said. "I came to tell you that Gavrik is Bad News and you need to break away" Coop told him.
"I'll break away when you do" Jimmy told him.
"Fuck...Jimmy...just stop being so Stubborn" Coop warned him.
"You know that your Pop. You know that Good Old Brogan, isn't going to stop until Jenny's knocked up. Just run Coop. Run while you can still see the "Exit Sign" Jimmy said.
Bewildered, Coop walked out of the Cafe with his Coke. He walked back to the car. He went back to the Station and found his Mom there.
"Mom? Umm...are you okay?" Coop asked. She very rarely visited the Station.
"Yes. I got a little groggy on the street and one of your friends kindly took me here" Laura took out the Pill container, and her crumpled prescription.
"Could you refill these for me?" Laura asked.
"Sure. Umm...Carla, can you look after her for one second?" Coop asked. The Receptionist nodded.
Coop was walking to out of the Station doors he got a Call from his Pop, Brogan. "Hey Pop, I'm just going to get Mom's pills. Do you want anything?" Coop asked.
"There's no need to get them son. There's a full container at home" Brogan told him.
"There's isn't Pop. Mom's got the Pill container with her" Coop told him.
"Well she's got her Pills...I'm looking at them right now" Brogan said.
"You've told her you've got them right?" Coop asked.
"I told her this morning. Son you've gotta remember that your Mother's memory isn't as Good as it once was" Brogan told his son.
"Sure Pop. I'm gonna get Mom home" Coop said. Coop didn't know why. But he ended his Dad's call and walked to the Chemists'. There was no reason for his Pop to lie. But Coop decided to get his Mother's pills...
Just in case...
