Soda Bottle Kid

That night at the drive-in was wonderful, Lenny eased and laughed, Rodneys mom
opened and talked of her high school days. Rodney and Clipper gobbled cheese burger and fry baskets in the back, Clipper ate off everyones ice cream cone. Rodney thought he might puke from a final rootbeer float.
  On the way home Rodney asked, where they might move to, "I don't know his mom smiled ", We'll find a place , and Lenny can help us move.? Half asking and hoping.
  Rodney drifted to a life with a new bike and a smaller yard to mow.
   All that was held up by the Blue Ford pickup of Edwin Forman in the drive as they pulled up..
Irene , Rodney and Lenny crept in the drive,Irene apologizing for the event that could happen.
  Lenny said," So your ex is a dick? He laughed a little." I'm used to that."This changes nothing
about our moving agreement does it"?
Mom turned and said,"You don't have to do this.
  Lenny said," I got this". Jumped from the car and met Ed coming from the house,
nothing was heard between Lenny and Ed, but Ed smiled and waved and carried his box to
his truck and left... Rodney and Irene stood dumb.... What had Lenny said???
  " Well we had enough fun today better get going", Lenny parted, started the International and drove away.
Rodney and mom stood speechless in the drive.
" Rodney, that is one good friend you got.", mom said
 " I know", Rodney replied, "we better go to bed"
  " Yeah, It's been a long day", his mom replied.
  They went inside to the phone ringing, " Hello, Rodney, this is Ton, the sheriff arrested Travis and Josh
for robbing Dooley's shed. We could be in for it. We could go to jail man....
 Tune in next time........

The phone rang " Rodney" It's Thomas, his Mom said. Rodney ran to the phone.
" Ton What's up." " Rodney, Travis and Josh are takin Dooleys bottles to the store",
They want the money for their bikes and to settle up. "
 "Those Idiots" " All of Dooleys bottles are Squirt and the Sheriff knows it too.
Can you stop them?"
  " They left the camp an hour ago , by know they have have pulled the boat outta
Little Beaver Creek and headed for Hinky Dinky."
   " Ton you got to stop them!"
  Rodney hung up the phone as Lenny pulled in the drive.
  "Hey Mom the moving guy is here"
The walk thru the side yard to the drive was slow and Lenny left the cab of the
 truck like a snail." Mom this is Lenny, He's an expert!" Rodney said nothing else.
    "Hi, I'm Irene ,.... "Lenny , uh Leonard, I guess, I am pleased to meet you,"
" So which is it Lenny or Leonard?" 
     " My friends call me Lenny."
  "Mom we should go to AW Rootbeer in the Mercury," Rodney poked.
  "Ok, Let's go," his mom replied.
     "My Treat,Lenny said.
   Rodney rolled down all the windows, and put Clipper in the back.
   I hope Josh and Travis don't get caught, Rodney thought as they drove off.
