The next morning, Sean and Darren got into Sean’s car. Sean took The Club
off the steering wheel. Darren noticed that Sean didn’t unlock The Club first.
He asked Sean if The Club had been unlocked all night. Sean said yes. Darren
fumed. “Do you know how long it takes a thief to smash the window and drive off
with this car?! Less than two minutes! Do you think cars grow on trees? Do you
have the money to buy another car if this one is stolen?” Sean said that he had
forgotten to lock The Club. Darren reminded Sean that he had spent a lot of time
finding Sean a clean, reliable, used car. He also reminded Sean that he, not
Sean, had paid for the car.
He barked at Sean off and on during the next two hours. They went south on
Santa Anita Avenue to the 10 and headed west to downtown LA. They went south to
the USC Coliseum and turned around at the two statues of the Olympic athletes.
Then they went north on Figueroa Street to the 110 and headed back to Arcadia.
Darren continued to yell at Sean about his driving errors. When Sean tried to
parallel park in front of Gwen’s apartment, Darren scolded him for taking 20
seconds to do something that should have taken five seconds.
As they walked upstairs to the apartment, Darren apologized to Sean for all
the yelling he had done. Sean didn’t respond. Instead, he entered the apartment,
spoke angrily to his mother in their native language, went into his bedroom, and
slammed the door. Gwen looked at Darren but said nothing. She simply shook her
head. |
