Bunty stumbled and flopped down on the couch. “What’s for dinner? Never mind. Let’s go out.” He switched on the television.
Rani gave a resigned look. “Been drinking again?”
“Let’s go!” He grinned, fanning himself with a wad of cash.
“Where did you get that from?”
“Call the boys.”
“They aren’t home yet.”

“Where?”

“What!?” He sat up.
“Why? What happened?”
The TV blared in the background.
