the garage door opens and dick backs the porsche into the street. monica is with him. todd, from the upstairs window, watches them go. an old vo1vo is parked on the street in front of the house. standing on the porch, sneakers and all, is ed french. todd pulls into the driveway and gets out. french has a cautious air about him as he walks toward todd. while todd almost seems to be enjoying this odd dance around the car, french does not. todd becomes more animated, more threatening with every word. somehow it is as though french is now retreating from todd as they circle the car. todd starts moving again. french does the same. todd regains his balance. french stares wide-eyed as todd steps up to him, the muzzle aimed at french's head. todd grins widely. for the first time he looks . happy.
