'And they feel horrible,' Trev said. 'Be glad you're not wearing these things.'
'Well, I feel right naked.'
'Are you and Trev . . . do you go together?' Lisa asked.
'Never seen him before tonight.'
'I thought you were his girlfriend, or something.'
'Me? Nope.' To Trev she said, 'Is Maureen your gal?'
'Not exactly. She's the daughter of a friend.'
Sounding annoyed, Francine said, 'So she wasn't even home? You took us all the way over there for nothing?'
'Mom.'
'Shit. He's been dragging us around all night on this wild-goose chase of his, looking for this woman. He's damn near gotten us killed. And he still hasn't found her. We could've been out of here by now.'
'You been searching around like she says, Trevor?'
'Tried a couple of places.'
'We could get out of this rain and be safe if he'd just quit this damn nonsense.'
'Mom,' Lisa said again.
'I think that's mighty noble,' Sandy said. 'Your Maureen's a lucky gal, having a fella like you searching high and low for her.'
'Noble, my ass,' Francine said. 'You'll think he's noble when he stops again to go looking and we get jumped by crazies and they kill us all.'
'You got quite a burr up your hindquarters, lady.' Lisa laughed.
