Darlene and Roy are desperate. They hired a driver, paying in advance. He got busted and left them, only two drivers, stranded with two trucks and one SUV full of all their worldly goods. California to Florida, thirty two hundred miles. All the other church volunteers left hours ago. Charles offers to drive the second truck. Brother in need. Church work. They make a vacation of it, splitting the drive up over three weeks.
It’s awkward sharing a hotel room of two queen size beds with a married couple. Problem solved. Roy will be thinking with his head. His little head will be caged for the trip. The key hangs around Darlene’s neck. She’ll let him out when they get there. For three weeks, Roy will have one queen size bed all for himself. Darlene and Charles will have to share. Roy won’t be getting any, but Darlene will. Every night she’ll expect a lot of ‘church work’ from Charles.
She gives Charles a sweet smile. “We talked it over. We grew up with you. Every time we got in trouble as kids, you got in trouble with us. We’re going to miss you horribly. We want a souvenir of our trip together. Not some stupid trinket or figurine. We want something practical we can enjoy for years, that will always remind us of you.”
Charles looks confused. “What kind of souvenir do you crazy love birds have in mind?”
Darlene clears her throat. “Pay attention. You’ll only get one clue.” She pulls out a round pill dispenser, cracks it open and spills all the pills into the toilet, flushing them down with finality.
Roy claps him on the back. “We’ll adopt her baby from you. You’ll owe no child support. We love you. You’re family. We want our first to be yours.”
