    ... worry about Cassie." "Okay, Jennifer, thanks - and we won't be too long." Jake looks at her. "Where are we going? I was kinda looking forward to getting you home." "I'm looking forward to that also, but we have things to take care of first. Number one is, Jennifer said you looked like a bum this morning, so we are going to get you some clothes. But first we are going to get rid of this wreck you call a truck. What kind of truck do you like best?" Jake looks at her with one eyebrow up in his hairline. "What do you mean, get rid of my truck? I like my truck." Jeanie mock-glares at him, "This is not open for discussion, mister; now, what kind of truck do you like? Jake, seeing the menace in her eyes, "Well, if I was rich I'd have one of those nice Dodge Rams with the extended cab, but I'm not rich so I'll work on mine." "Jakey, dammit, pay attention to me; no discussion means shut up and drive. Turn left up here at the light and pull in to Butler's Dodge." Jake smirks, "I know that anytime you call me Jakey, I'm supposed to do as I'm told." A salesman comes out. Smiling until he looks the old truck over, he pulls the door open for Jeanie. "What can I help you with today ma'am?" Jeanie smiles up at him. "I want a new Dodge Ram extended cab pickup, and we want to drive it home tonight." She turns to look at Jake, his mouth hanging open. "What color do you want, babe?" "Jeanie, I can't afford that." "Jakey you get one more chance; what friggin' color do you want?" He looks from ...
    ... Jeanie to the smiling salesman shrugging. "Um, well, red I guess." She looks at the salesman, who is drooling by now. "You have a red one that is equipped? Oh, and I want a factory child seat in the back." The salesman scurries away into the building, and soon comes back driving a new, red Dodge Ram extended cab pickup. "There will be a child seat here in the morning. Coming in FedEx, and we'll send a man out to install it." Jeanie turns to Jake. "You like it, hun?" Jake is rooted to one spot, hardly daring to breathe, "God, yes, babe - I love it!" Jeanie grins at the salesman, "Okay, we'll take it, and you can give us $3500 for our truck. Oh, and I want the $1500 discount price you keep talking about on TV." The salesman loses some color from his face, "Uhh, ma'am, I'm almost positive they won't give you $3500 for that old truck." Jeanie looks at him with blinking eyes. "Oh really? I want to see Mr. Butler, where is his office?" She and Jake follow the rapidly retreating salesman into the building, walking into Mr. Butler's office as the salesman is explaining what is taking place. Mr. Butler stands and shakes hands with Jeanie and Jake, walks to the outside door and looks out at the old truck, snorts, and comes back in, motioning them to sit. "$3500 huh? Okay done, $1500 discount, done, child seat in the morning installed, done; now, how are you going to handle this ma'am? Bank, credit union or what?" "How about cash, Mr. Butler?" Mr. Butler looks like he is choking on a bug. ...
