In Phoenix, Harold is sleeping off his wisdom teeth surgery.
Celia is probably curled up with her five babies.
There were 6 but one died. Harold thinks she sat on it too long.

or on someone else's couch
drinking scotch and coca cola from a plastic glass.

Blackie is hunting in the desert
or washing herself in the dark by the swimming pool.
