This time he was already seated and waiting for her. Visitation had been crowded, and she had to wait in the lobby for a booth to become free. Chino had to wait in the rear lobby with the other prisoners for a booth to become free also. Both had had their patience tested today, and neither was in a very good mood. “What’s up, baby?” Pam said, exhaling, finally settling down to talk to him. “You tell me,” Chino said. “Nothing, just missing you.” “Oh, you missing me?” Chino asked, raising his eyebrow. “Yeah, of course.” “I can’t tell,” Chino told her. “What do you mean?” “You stepping out, going to the movies and shit!” “Chino!” “Chino my ass!” he said, pounding the counter in the booth. “What? Did you think that I wasn’t gonna find out?” “Find out what?” “Find out that you creeping with some nigga!” “Creeping?” Pam said exasperated. “I wasn’t creeping with anybody!” “I can tell! You bold with your shit. You all out in public at the movies with the nigga!”
