Day 2, Tuesday
The
next morning, Sonny puts his empty coffee mug on the table and walks
to the closet to grab his jacket. Just as he was about to leave he
is surprised by his daughter's cell phone ringing from her tiny
room on the boat. She must have forgotten her bag with the phone in
it. He tries to find the phone before it stops ringing, but since he
has no idea where the hell the thing could be, he holds the bag
upside down, getting the full content spread out over the bed.
Finally he finds the phone just in time to answer it.
"Danni's
phone". Being the heavy smoker that he is, he lights up a
cigarette.
"Oh, hi, it's Shirley. Danni around?". Shirley
is one of Danni's closest friends.
"No, Shirley, I'm sorry.
How are you? Haven't seen you for a while?" Sonny replies.
"I'm fine. No, that's right, I haven't been seeing much of Danni lately. But um, I have to go. I'll try it later on, bye!"
Sonny hangs up and starts putting the items back into the bag. After the books and large items, there are some small things left. Among which the small pouch of cocaine. He is struck by surprise when spots the powder, he sits down on the bed and holds it in his hand. He takes a few puffs and has a very confused look on his face, slowly changing into the angry look.
At
the police station, his partner Rico Tubbs was just complimenting
their colleague Trudy on her outfit as he usually does when he needs
a favor.
"You look stunning today. How 'bout that dinner you
promised me?"
She
was not born yesterday "Keep dreaming, hot shot…" smiling
charmingly as she walks away.
The phone rings twice.
"Tubbs."
It is silent for a second on the
other side before Sonny says "I just found snow in Danni's bag…
"
"What? Are you sure man?" Rico can't believe his ears.
"Yeah.
Definitely. How the hell could that have happened? I thought she'd
know better!" He slams his fist on the table to lose some anger.
"Damn it! Why her? I really never thought she'd be doing
this."
Rico tries to calm him down "Take it easy man, are you sure it's hers?"
"Has
to be. I found it in her bag when her cell phone rang." Sonny says
as he puts a cigarette to his mouth.
"And are you sure she used
it?" Rico says, he can't imagine Danni using it all.
"No.
But that figures, doesn't it?!" Sonny lights his cigarette.
"Talked
to her yet?" Rico asks.
"No, not yet."
"At
least give the girl a chance to speak for herself ok? Don't lose it
just yet, keep it cool till she explained it. I'm sure this is all
a misunderstanding." Rico often needs to cool Sonny down.
"Well
I'm sure it's not!" Sonny takes another puff and continues.
"That's got to be one hell of an excuse to make me buy it… I'm
gonna bring her in."
"Ok, but be cool man." Rico tries once more.
