Most of the day Charlie and Jessie listens to music on his laptop. Jessie dances a little for the entertainment for Charlie and his baby sister to some of the music Charlie played for him. He can’t remember the last time he has had so much fun. The snow had slowed down outside.
Charlie looks over towards Jessie “why don’t you get bundled up and we’ll go and get some dinner?”

“Okay!” Jessie puts his mother’s coat on and bundle up Maggie so she would be warm. Charlie checks the steps to make sure they were safe to walk down. They could tell the parking lot had been plowed.

“Come on, we can take the truck over to the diner.” Charlie makes his way to his truck and open the truck for Jessie to get in.

Once Jessie was in the truck. Charlie gets in and slowly back the truck out its parking spot and slowly drive out of the parking lot. He makes his way down the street to the diner Jessie had called his mother from.

“You’ll like this place Charlie. The waitress here was nice to me.”

“You think so Jessie?” Charlie pulls into an empty parking spot.

“Yes sir.” Charlie shuts the engine down and climbs out.

Jessie climbs out of the truck with Maggie in his arms. The three of them walks into the diner and shown a seat. Menus are given to them to look over.

“Order whatever you want Jessie.”

Jessie looks over the menu and reads the description of the different dishes. The last time he had come with Dave and had a cheeseburger.
This time he wanted something different. He spots what he wanted for dinner and to drink. When the waitress comes to get their order.
Charlie orders a steak, baked potato and green beans. Jessie orders the meatloaf with mash potatoes with brown gravy and carrots to go with it. They both have ice tea to drink.

Jessie checks his sister and notice she was sound asleep. As Jessie is looking around, he notices his father’s motorcycle with him and some woman riding on it. He watches as they ride right past the diner. They looked like they were heading towards one of the bars.

Charlie spots Jessie looking out the window and follows his gazed to a man riding a motorcycle with a woman on the back of the motorcycle holding close to his back. They were heading towards a bar where several other motorcycles were.

“I take it that’s your father Jessie?” Charlie couldn’t believe people would be stupid enough to drive out on the streets with snow on the ground on a motorcycle.

“Yes sir, that’s my father and probably his new girlfriend.” Jessie sounded sad. He had done what he could to please his father, but it wasn’t good enough for him.

Charlie could see that Jessie was sadden about something.

“You know something Jessie, your father has to be a real dumb person for not loving a child like you. You are kind, caring and a wonderful person. I don’t see why your father can’t see that in you.”

Jessie looks at Charlie “thank you Charlie.”

“No problem kiddo.”

Their waitress shows up with their meal. She places everyone’s meal in front of them and then go off to help a customer of hers. Jessie savors the first bite of his dinner. He hasn’t had homemade meatloaf for a while now. The last time he had it was when his mother took him out for dinner. His father had gone on a trip with his motorcycle buddies. His mother had hidden some money and the two of them ate out a few times and cooked at home. That week had been the best with his father gone. When his father came back from his trip, he was in a bad mood.

Jessie takes his time with his meal enjoying every bite. By the time he was done, he felt full. He had enjoyed every bite.

“Would you like some desert Jessie?”

Jessie thinks about it. It’s been awhile since he has had any except the pecan pie a couple of days ago.

“Yes sir.”

“Do you know what you would like?” Charlie already knew what he wanted.

“I would like a slice of apple pie with vanilla ice cream if that’s okay?”

“I think we can do something Jessie.” Charlie waits till their waitress comes back and place their order for desert.

She comes back and places their order on the table along with some coffee for Charlie. Jessie couldn’t believe how quiet Maggie has been and checks her to make sure things were okay. He didn’t want to wake her, because once she is woken up, it was hard to get her back to sleep.

Once they were done with dinner and paid the bill. Charlie takes Jessie for a ride to look around town. He hasn’t been to this town in a while. They do stop at a park and look at Jessie.

“Hey, I know you and your mom use to make snow angels. Why don’t you and me make one real quick why Maggie asleep.”

A smile appears on Jessie’s face and tears run down his cheeks. He gets out of the truck and run over to an area and lay down and starts making a snow angel. Charlie walks over with him and makes one right next to Jessie.

“Jessie do that again for me please.” Charlies takes his cellphone out and snaps a video for Mary and her husband of Jessie making a snow angel.

“Got it, thanks. This is for your aunt and uncle.” He helps angel up off the ground and the two of them walk back towards the truck.

Off in the distance a figure watches as Jessie and a man he didn’t walks back to a Ford pick-up truck. He was driving by when he spotted the two making snow angels. He had stopped at a distance and used a pair of binoculars to see who they were and notice his son right away. He knew his wife had information on the MC, but he doesn’t know where she hid the information. The only person who might know would be his son. He knows his dead wife didn’t have it on her when one of the MC members killed her that day. He needs to get to his son, but who was this guy with him? He copies down the guys licenses plate and makes a phone call.
