Bill Cady, The Early Years … by Bill Cady 318<br />

tacks. Then she did something stupid. However, she did it with all the loyalty of a<br />

rattlesnake, so it evened things out.<br />

Mabel and Darrell caught Rita smoking some marijuana and they both flew<br />

immediately off the handle. Stalwart to the end, Rita held out for damned near a full<br />

minute before confessing I gave it to her.<br />

That put Unc in a rage, and it was all directed at me. This is the same guy who<br />

smacked me around when I was fourteen for sassing Mom, so bad I ran away to Chicago<br />

for a week. Now he‟d caught me “being a dope peddler” and my “sweet little customer”<br />

was his pregnant daughter-in-law. He also had her sworn testimony I talked her into it<br />

and it was her first time ever.<br />

Man, stick a fork in my ass, „cause I‟m all done!<br />

It only came down to a very loud conversation since, even with my bad leg, I was<br />

able to outrun him. That conversation was unique in yet another way. It was the first<br />

time in my life I ever heard a mixture of “Hallelujah!”, Goddamn you!”, “Amen!” and<br />

“Motherfucker!” all in one string of comments.<br />

If you haven‟t drawn it as a conclusion, Unc was as pissed as I‟d ever seen him.<br />

That meant I needed something, a modification of what any realtor will tell you are the<br />

three most important items. Relocation, relocation, relocation! I needed to relocate my<br />

ass somewhere Unc wouldn‟t find it, and I did so posthaste.<br />

<strong>My</strong> “job” at that time was working on the line at Oldsmobile. Around the end of<br />

the second month, I strained my back lifting something. Pretty soon, I could barely even<br />

walk, so they sent me home. After a couple weeks the doctor told me I could come back<br />

to work, but on restricted duty.<br />
