    Summary

    "She's not crazy, she's just sick." That's always been Frank's argument whenever his mother's behavior is brought into question. Whether she's yelling or hitting, or ignoring him altogether, Frank knows it's not his fault--she's just sick. She's not crazy.

    Gerard doesn't see it that way. Working as the loss prevention manager for the local Spend N Save dollar store, Gerard has seen his share of crazies and hoodlums. So when he catches Frank stealing a pair of headphones, he doesn't hesitate to confront him. But what was meant to be a routine procedure turned quickly into a dangerous game when Mrs. Iero enters the mix.

    Faced with losing his job if he allows Frank to steal, but knowing Frank will suffer severely if Mrs. Iero sees him being confronted by the staff for his thefts, Gerard becomes caught between doing what's legal and what's right--and things only get harder when Frank gets closer and closer, begging Gerard not to tell the cops about his mother because she's not crazy, she's just sick.

    Summary

    “We could,” Gerard begins, then frowns, looking slightly embarrassed. “Look, I just think – alright, I just got paid. We could use it to buy a house for cheap, flip it, and sell it. Or, like, I mean, I know you’re not gonna want – I just mean, we could find a deal and split it, but since I just got paid, it’s a good time. If it’s a good time for you. I think it is, though, I mean, you talk shit about your job all the time. Not the point, though, just – do you want to try?”

    Frank doesn’t know how to respond for a moment. The surprise of Gerard delivering an at least halfway formed plan in the same conversation as it’s introduced is enough that it renders him nearly speechless, and he says, “Wait – fucking. What?”
