LORNA AND HER TWO COUSINS
--
Veldon was moved, temporarily, to the noon to 8 time slot. They needed someone to do an evening run. He asked me to pick up his girlfriend, Lorna, and drive her to work while he was working the late shift.
"You're only about a mile away, right?" he asked.
"Right," I said.
A mile in city traffic during morning rush hour would take at least 15 minutes. Then another 10-15 minutes back across town to pick up the interstate.
"No problem," I said.
It hadn't been made clear to me that the two cousins were a part of the deal as well. The three were rarely ready when I pulled up to the house. I was leaving a half hour earlier than usual and was coming in late almost every day. Mr. Frank T was starting to notice.
"Our boss doesn't care if we come in late," Lorna said. "She's Veldon's aunt. Didn't you know that?"
"No," I said. "I didn't."
