[00:11.759]Her mom found her brother
[00:13.348]Then she found the container wrapped up in a newspaper
[00:16.612]Stuffed in a duffel bag with hockey pads and seven grand in rubber bands
[00:22.743]We didn't speak at the service but later a message from a number that wasn't familiar said
[00:27.695]"Hey it's Charlie's sister
[00:29.783]Would you do me a favor?
[00:33.687]There's unfinished business
[00:36.127]It's roughly the size of a baseball"
[00:38.663]I said I wasn't totally sure, but yeah I could probably call someone
[00:44.697]I knew this kid from my dorm when I went to school in Wisconsin
[00:48.373]My two semesters were a total disaster and he was part of the problem
[00:52.582]Hadn't talked in forever
[00:55.476]But Wayne from Winnetka picked up on the first ring
[00:58.494]I explained the situation
[01:00.316]He said he'd be interested but we'd have to come to him
[01:06.190]We said lunch time on Wednesday
[01:08.757]A Mexican restaurant a mile north of Midway
[01:11.515]He worked for his father's shipping company out west of the city
[01:17.075]Right now I’m not working
[01:19.488]She said we could split it
[01:21.290]Just glad to be finished and not even tempted
[01:27.243]But it's so goddamn sad in her house right now
[01:30.295]He’s still here in everything
[01:32.549]She just needs a break from it
[01:35.243]Said she wants to come with
[01:41.021]We left really early
[01:42.813]Went from St. Paul to Cicero in my Chevrolet that didn’t have any radio
[01:47.391]Had a boombox in the back seat that was running on batteries
[01:52.994]Played 1999 into Led Zeppelin III
[01:56.588]When the tape deck got all wobbly she still sang the harmonies
[02:03.840]The transaction was easy
[02:05.664]My buddy looked similar just a little bit heavier
[02:08.603]And counting all the money in front of him seemed silly
[02:11.875]This isn’t the movies
[02:13.884]It was over so quickly
[02:16.070]Wayne got in his car
[02:18.025]Drove into the sunset, turned left onto Cermak
[02:21.468]And she turned to me and said:
[02:24.052]I’ve never been to Chicago
[02:28.999]I got nothing going on tomorrow
[02:34.386]Maybe we could stay here tonight
[02:38.390]Lose ourselves in the glass and light
[02:44.506]Never been to Chicago
[02:49.504]I’ve got nothing going on tomorrow
[02:54.682]Maybe we could stay here tonight
[02:58.719]Lose ourselves in the glass and light
[03:04.568]We got a room at the Hyatt
[03:06.760]Michigan Avenue I can still picture you
[03:09.425]We each got a toothbrush from Walgreens
[03:14.231]We drank in the taverns, we ate somewhere Italian
[03:17.706]Then she’s on the sidewalk trying to ask for a cigarette from oncoming traffic
[03:24.454]I felt God in the buildings
[03:26.447]The light from the skyscrapers showing up in the river
[03:30.670]And four years didn’t seem like much anymore
[03:33.135]We both want the same things
[03:35.290]We kissed on the corner
[03:37.278]We kissed in the corridors
[03:39.412]We fumbled with clothing
[03:42.136]We all want the same things
[03:46.350]And then it was morning
[04:10.278]We drove back all hungover
[04:12.838]And all the way to Eau Claire she played with her hair
[04:16.268]Came up on St. Paul and she was sobbing
