Al Capone Does My Homework (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
Eyes Saturday, February 8, 1936 Standing outside the hospital is torture. Anything could be happening in there. I realize too late that I should have had Natalie come back and tell me the room number. Then I could walk on by when the gray-haired lady wasn’t looking. If I go and ask now, I’m afraid she’ll stop me. I’m tall, but I can’t pass for sixteen. If I were to get by the reception lady, I might be able to slip inside. I’m just thinking about this, when I see my mom walking through the lobby and out the front door, her eyes bleary, her face puffy and red. “Mom!” I pounce on her. “How is he?” “Moose?” She wraps her arms around me. “He’s better, honey,” she whispers in my ear. “The doctor said he was too tough to die.” The news hits me hard. It takes me a full minute before I can even take in what she said. And then slowly the relief seeps in.
