Vincent pulled his hair in frustration and then lit a Newport to calm his nerves. Tina still sat cross legged on the floor looking at him like he's her favorite rock star with a glazed look in her eyes. Then he kicked an empty shoe box just to let out a little more steam.
"What's up?" She finally asked.
"My parents are going to be here in an hour." Said Vinny exhaling a deep cloud of smoke.
"Do we have time to finish what we were doing?" Asked Tina.
Vincent stared down at the floor to hide his reaction. Did she mean the drugs or the love making? He snorted out a chuckle and then pulled a set of keys out of his pocket." Let's go move Peter's truck. I don't want them to see it when they get here."
When Tina stood up she felt dizzy. The room was spinning around but Vinny was looking better and better. She walked over and put her arms around him but he pushed her off of him." We don't have time for that. Come on. Let's go." He said putting out the Newport. Tina placed her index finger in his back pocket as she followed him out the door.
It was really bright outside and not a cloud in the sky. The yard looked like some type of battle site with all the dead squirrels and birds strewn all over the knee high grass. Peter's red Ford F-150 gleamed in the sun. It looked like it had just recently been waxed." See all these carcasses in the grass? Mother might not like that. You and I are going to clean it up after we hide the truck behind the barn."
Tina let go of his back pocket. For some strange reason Vinny didn't seem attractive anymore. Vincent wanted to park the truck inside the barn but there wasn't nearly enough room. As they got inside Peter's truck Vinny patted the leather seats." I'll bet I can get a grand for this at the chop shop I go to." Tina pretended like she really cared and smiled while she fluttered her eyes like a butterfly. After they parked Peter's truck behind the barn Vinny went inside and grabbed some black hefty trash bags and a shovel. He then wiped away a bead of sweat trickling down his face.
"You can either hold this bag open for me or shovel up the carcasses. Which will it be?" He asked holding out both the shovel and some trash bags. Tina reluctantly grabbed the black trash bags and looked around the yard." Good choice." He said clinging to the shovel and deciding where to start.
For 15 minutes Vincent shoveled up as many carcasses as he could while Tina held the trash bag and pinched her nose with the other hand. Before she was having so much fun playing video games and doing drugs. Now here she was in the hot sun wearing a turtle neck and looking at dead squirrels and birds. Evidently she was still feeling the effects of the crystal meth because the ground looked like it was moving like the ocean.
Once the trash bags were full they placed them in the back of Peter's truck. Tina felt relieved when they stepped foot back into the icy cold trailer. She hadn't showered or even gotten a chance to put any deodorant on and she knew from all the sweating from outside she probably stunk.
"If your parents are coming over shouldn't I shower first?" She asked grinding her teeth and not even realizing it. Vincent walked over to her and looked her over from head to toe. She seemed to be unaware that she was grinding her teeth and her head was shaking like an Alzheimer's patient on too much medication. Her pretty blue eyes were blood shot and her pupils were dilating. Vincent began to question himself. Was this really going to work? Would Theresa figure out that this broad was stoned out of her mind?
"No you can't shower because if the device around your neck gets wet you'll continue to get shocked." He said lighting another cigarette.
"Can you take it off so I can shower?" She said sniffing her armpits.
"We don't have time and they're going to be here soon. You can wear some of my deodorant and cologne."
Vincent went into his messy bedroom and rummaged through the bric-a-brac on his dresser until he found some speedstick and a bottle of cheap cologne. Tina followed him and stood at the doorway of his bedroom. What a slob Vinny is she thought to herself.
