    Summary

    Once the kid is born, Willis takes one look at it and decides he hates it. 

    Then, of course, the little bastard is his responsibility. So he and Catherine mind it (Catherine never does let him just throw the brat out on the streets), and Willis works odd jobs and, half the time, forgets he even has a son.

    But Catherine doesn’t. She watches over little Jason the best that she can. He’s all she has, really, in this messed up world, and even if she has to stay trapped under Willis’s nicotine-stained thumb, she’ll manage for the kid. 

    Jason grows up on struggle foods and ceiling leaks. His clothes, when not too baggy for his scrawny form, are tattered, rent with holes. Public school is good to him, or maybe it’s just there for him; though really any place without Willis’s belts and beer bottles is there for Jason. He toughens up, learns to stop smiling and start scowling so as not to appear weak, and by the time he hits the seventh grade, people know not to fuck with him.

    Unsure whether he fits in more with the white kids or the Hispanic kids, Jason doesn’t make too many friends. And, really, that’s just fine with him.

    Summary

    A knock. Someone is at the compartment door.

    Tante Sofia. She takes Dick back to her wagon with her, shuts the curtains so he cannot see the red-and-blue flash of the police lights, cranks up her old phonograph with some Django Reinhardt records so he cannot hear the sirens.

    She even offers him the Egyptian hookah pipe. He refuses, then hesitates, and takes it from her. The vapor tickles the back of his throat. He coughs tremendously. 

    While his eyes water and his lungs draw in frantic gulps of air, Tante takes the pipe back and asks him, 

    “Why are you not crying yet, motănel?
