Bill Cady, The Early Years … by Bill Cady 237 as I‟d ever seen him. In truth, he really loved Jeannie, and they had a child he also loved very much. His entire world was coming apart. He was as sorry as he could be. It was all due to one stupid mistake, an error he swore he‟d never make again, but he knew his marriage was beyond saving. I asked JC, in front of everyone, if he was serious. If he meant it. If he‟d be at all grateful if someone could fix it. JC asked me if I‟d completely lost my fucking mind, and why would I ask such a stupid question when there was no possible way to fix the mess he was in? Okay, let‟s look at the situation. JC was the coolest guy anywhere, and all the guys wanted to be his friend. After all, not only was the Chouinard name a truly well respected name with kids all over town, JC was the ultimate Chouinard. I was a friend of his brother on the third tier. There was JC, then the twins, Dan and Dave, then Bob, then Marty, who was really still a little kid at the time, maybe ten or eleven years old. You bet your ass I wanted him indebted to me! I told him, still standing in front of everyone, I knew could fix it for him. They all laughed at me, but I elicited a promise JC wouldn‟t leave those premises until I got back. Then I asked him where I could find Jeannie. She‟s at home, packing to move out, I was told. Fine. Everybody sit tight, I‟ll be back in an hour. I drove to where JC and Jeannie lived, in an apartment with the most often used entrance in the back. I knocked on the screen door and Jeannie appeared a few moments later. She had absolutely no idea who I was, which I expected, being so much younger Leviticus, Limited 33-0505963
Bill Cady, The Early Years … by Bill Cady 238 than she and JC. “Jeannie, my name‟s Bill Cady. Can I come in and talk with you for a moment?” “What about?” Leery, wondering who the hell I was, and what I wanted. “I‟m a friend of Bob‟s,” I began, “and kind of a friend of JC‟s. Not close, mind you, but I know the guy.” Her eyes hardened. “That son-of-a-bitch!” She started to close the wooden door. “Wait, Jeannie! Hear me out, please. I owe you, and Jim, I guess, an, um, an apology. I‟m trying to set things right, if I can.” “Why on earth would you owe me an apology? I don‟t even know you?” I shuffled my feet, looking down at the porch, penitent as hell. “Yeah, I know that, and it makes me feel even worse. Can I come in, just for a minute?” Probably more from confusion and curiosity than anything else, Jeannie let me inside. She sat at the white kitchen table on a red plastic covered chair and made a motion with her head for me to take a seat. I remained standing. “I don‟t think I should sit, Jeannie. You‟re probably gonna hate my guts when I tell you what I have to say, but I just can‟t bear to keep it inside any longer.” Then I looked at her, my face as mournful as I could make it. “Plus, I can‟t let someone else pay for my mistake.” Now she really wanted to know what the hell was on my oddball mind, but she merely watched my face, waiting for whatever was coming next. “I was at the Dells last night, Jeannie. I was with a girl.” “Yeah?” Her implication was, And I give a rat‟s ass about that because ? “JC was there, having a beer or two with some guys on his team.” Leviticus, Limited 33-0505963
