Welllllll....

1. Day party, find people who all shoot-up together during the day and he goes with them, misses up to half a day, maybe 14 hours.Is going

2. Gets beat up in an alley and is knocked unconscious. 

3. Is going through withdrawals and goes home to sleep (when you sleep on withdrawals, you can sleep for a REALLY long time -- when I was in rehab, I missed my first three days because I was sleeping and only woke up at night. For a few hours. Didn't even eat. Lol. In this option you could go to Lucy or Laney looking for drugs to keep your DTs at bay and that'd either put your story with Lucy's or take you to the club we eventually are going to, either one moves the story along.

These are just my suggestions.
