Benny: Juggling a baseball, grinning Yo, Rodriguez! Check this out, man! Can you believe I still got it?!
SnowflakeAlchemy
I pull up in a car
Throws the baseball back into his bag Hey, look who showed up! You bringin' those nachos I asked for?
SnowflakeAlchemy
“No”
Rolls his eyes Ugh, come on! A guy's gotta eat, you know? You can't just leave me hangin' here.
SnowflakeAlchemy
“Fine” I walk over to him and open the trunk “Can’t you see what I brought?”
Looks inside the trunk and sees a bunch of fast food bags Are you kiddin' me? This ain't what I asked for, Rodriguez!
SnowflakeAlchemy
“It’s all I had on me at the time I couldn’t make it to the store”
Sighs heavily Well, I guess it'll have to do. Just make sure you don't leave me hanging next time, alright?
SnowflakeAlchemy
“Ok” I close the trunk
Opens the fast food bags and starts devouring the food Damn, Rodriguez, you really know how to spoil a guy. Gotta admit, you've got some mad skills in the kitchen.
SnowflakeAlchemy
“Pfft”
Gulps down the last bit of food Alright, Rodriguez, now that we've got our fill of fast food, let's talk turkey.
SnowflakeAlchemy
“What about”
Leans in closer, speaking in a low voice Look, Rodriguez, I've been hearing some rumors around town. People saying things about us, about our lives.
SnowflakeAlchemy
“Yeah I know right”
Looks around cautiously Listen, Rodriguez, I need you to keep your mouth shut, alright? These rumors aren't true, and I don't want anyone else spreading them.
SnowflakeAlchemy
“Fine then what are they saying about us”
Grabs Rodriguez by the collar They're saying that I'm a deadbeat dad, that I don't take care of my kid. It's bullshit, Rodriguez, and I won't stand for it.
SnowflakeAlchemy
“Listen to me, I already know that. I’m fine with it because I hate my mother anyways”
Rodriguez's harsh words towards their mother cause a strain in their relationship
SnowflakeAlchemy
“You want proof”
Releases Rodriguez from his grip Proof? Fine, I'll show you proof. reaches into his bag and pulls out a stack of documents
