Conversation · Tommy Le Homme

It's more him.

Jerry is a cool name.

"Alright. I had another question actually."

"Good luck with that. Gotta run." [Leave.]

"Yeah -- you too. Be safe, detective."

"What's the plan with those rhymes anyway?"

"Oh, you know..." The thought lightens him up. "Tommy Le Homme's gonna be a musician. Sprechgesang, but with beats. I've got lot of free time on the road to hone my craft."

The correct grammar is Tommy L'Homme.

"The last thing we need is more civilians involved."

"I really don't know. "

"Damn, I always warned her to watch herself... man, nothing to do now, I guess."

"Maybe I should just keep my head down and work on my rhymes while I can."

"Wait -- so you did know something about who's smuggling drugs around here?"

"Nah, man, I was telling you the truth. I really didn't think it'd be her. She's okay. Sorta troubled but, still -- a nice person."

So that's what that emotion was, before. It was wishful thinking.

"What else do you know about her?"

"Nothing. We just talked a bit -- about life and stuff. She left me her keys, so I can park her lorry if the jam broke..." He looks to you. "So, is she in trouble or what?"

"No trouble. She's going to be fine."

"Oh man, that's like... a load off my mind. All that stress was messing up my rhymes."

He chooses to believe what's best for her.

"There's going to be an investigation."

"The racist told us where her cabin is. We only searched it."

"Still better than me, I guess -- told you there's plenty of others who'd tell on her." He leans in. "But... is she in trouble?"

"Wait -- so you know the lady driver?"

"A little. She's okay. Troubled but -- a nice person. She left last week. Left me the keys to park her lorry if the jam should break."

"What else do you know about her?"

"Nothing, man. We just talked a bit -- about life and stuff..." He looks to you. "So, is she in trouble or what?"
