Liver, I Hardly Know Her
"Hey, is Mandy still asleep?" Mickey as he walks into the kitchen.
"Yeah, in Lip's room." I answer.
"What are you making, pancakes? What fucking time did you get up at?" Mickey asks Ian.
"About 5:00." He replies.
"You didn't get back from work until 3:00." Mickey says.
"Yeah, I went for a run this morning. I have a ton of energy. Oh! Check out this sunrise." Ian pulls out his phone and shows us both the picture.
"Yeah, that's real nice. Must really clear your mind watching a sunrise after a long night of gargling old man balls." Mickey sarcastically says.
"Mhm." Ian nods.
"Pancakes are on me." Mickey gives Ian the money.
"I thought you were broke." I say to him.
"No, I just got a baby mama with her fucking hand in my pocket." He says. "I mention Kev is charging rent for the rub 'n' tug? How's that for bullshit?"
Debbie walks downstairs. "Fiona never came home. She violated probation."
"She's not in her room?" I question.
"I checked last night, again this morning." She responds.
"Back to the metal motel." Mickey chimes in.
"I called Sheila. She's not there, and she's not at the hospital with Kev and V." Debbie continues.
"The hospital?" Ian questions.
"V's having her babies." Debbie tells him.
"She is? Wow." Ian smiles.
"Fiona would not miss her curfew on purpose. What if she got mugged or fell in front of the L?" Debbie says.
"She's probably fine, Debs. Maybe she got permission to go out." I try to reassure her.
"You don't think we should call the police?" She questions.
"No, that'll just make shit worse." Mickey says.
"Well, then what do we do?" Debbie asks. "Will someone at least call hospitals while I'm at school?"
"I'm on it." I tell her.
"I lost the shiv Carl made for me." Debbie sighs. "Melted toothbrush, duct tape handle."
"Why do you need a shiv?" Ian asks her.
"In case I run into my ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend." She says.
Mandy then walks into the room.
"Whoa, what happened to you?" Debbie looks at her bruised face.
"Kenyatta happened." Mickey answers for her.
"I'm over it, okay? Let's just move on." She says.
"I told Mickey she could stay here." Ian says.
