All gears were in motion now, and no matter how many times Arthur’s phone rang for him attention, he wasn’t going to give it away from Eva. The only things there were at the moment were him, her, and his animalistic urges to pounce. She said so few words, but it was enough to drive him crazy. Her little gasps just motivating Arthur even more. She pulled him into a kiss, his first time kissing someone else. Her lips felt so soft on his, and it was just enough to push him over. In one swift movement, Arthur picked up Eva again and placed her back on the bed, pulling off the rest of her clothes. Leaving them in their own world.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not far away from this blissful endeavor, someone else’s life felt more like it was crumbling apart than finally coming together. Jacob walked, walked, and walked, attempting to call Arthur several times. But he wouldn’t answer. Come on! What was he busy doing? Jacob knew he was just staking-out a house, what could be pulling his attention away? He NEEDED to talk to Arthur about what just happened, the mistake he just made. He was the only one he could trust to right now. No way could he tell his family he just exposed their biggest secret. One that they were able to keep quiet for so long. He couldn’t tell Alexander, because he was a loud mouth and would just tell Terrance. And Terrance… if Terrance knew what he did. Everything around him seemed to melt away into darkness. The grass looked more gray than green, and the sun was less an inviting symbol of life, and more an impending hellfire. Jacob felt empty, as if his entire body had been swallowed whole by a black hole. Hours seemed to pass of his walking in painful silence before reaching his home. It felt significantly less inviting than it had his entire life. The house appeared immaculate and spotless, honestly too clean for a house that supposedly had 5 sons. Where were the dirty clothes strewn around? The left-out papers and schoolwork? The messy shoeprints?
There were none, and Jacob unlocked the door to the basement, leading from the kitchen. Down bellow the surface of the home was a series of hallways and rooms. Each room worked as a separate storage for the different drugs moving through the city. Weed, Cocaine, Heroin, Opiates, you name it, the Patrone family had it. In the central room stood a desk with a young man, smoking a joint. He was counting some money and filling out a kind of journal entry, keeping track of the money counted. The young man turned his attention to Jacob as he came down the stairs, noticing the void that appeared in his brother’s eyes. ”Woah, lillebror, what is wrong?” He turned his attention away from his notebook, looking at Jacob. Jacob’s eyes didn’t move, and his face barely moved when he spoke up.
”Just taking some stuff for myself…” Jacob’s older brother, Isaac, raised an eyebrow before grabbing his notebook to take a note. ”Alright, you took quite a bit of hash the other day… but I’ll see if I can spread it around elsewhere. I can probably sneak you a few more G’s without peaking interest in dad. You know- we gotta sell this stuff, not hand it out to our friends.“ Jacob shook his head quickly, once again peaking interest in Isaac. Jacob grew a little anxious before speaking. ”I’m getting something else.” This seemed to send a red flag in the air above Isaac’s head. ”What, like cocaine? Do high schoolers do that shit now? When I was young that didn’t start popping around until I was in college.”
Jacob shook his head again, ”No, not cocaine. I need something different, like opioids.” Isaac leaned back more in his chair, rubbing his chin while observing his younger brother. It wasn’t uncommon in their family to occasionally sample their products that passed through their vicinity. They had to make sure they were moving out the best product for their consumers. Isaac seemed to jot down something in his notebook, not looking back up at his brother. It was very obvious that Jacob was trying to numb out the pain that was eating him alive. ”We just got a shipment in form China. Pretty good stuff. I can sneak you enough to get you high… but don’t get carried away, Jacob.” With that, Isaac turned back to his calculations, leaving Jacob to his devices, as he wandered down one of the hallways towards the Opiates. Once he disappeared around a corner, Isaac pulled out his phone, and shot Terrance a message. I’m about to leave my house. Busy Stuff. You need to come here and check on Jacob. Room O-07. With that, Isaac collected the money on the table, his notebook, and ascended the stairs back to the outside world.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
”Check on Jacob? What could be up with him?” Terrance spoke up, laying in his bed, and reading over the text from Isaac. Helene was still lying beside him in bed, as she didn’t really have anywhere to go without her car. Terrance called Jacob- no answer. Terrance sighed loudly and began to climb out of bed, throwing on clothes from the night before. ”Last night was fun, Hel, but I gotta get moving. I’ll drop you off at your place and you can keep trying to reach your friends.” Terrance walked out, expecting to find his house completely trashed. But much like Jacob’s home, it looked perfectly spotless. ”Alexander! We gotta go!” Terrance called to his sleeping friend on the couch, shaking his arm roughly.
”Anything for you, Gigi!” Terrance grit his teeth and smacked Alexander’s face, jolting him awake. ”I’m up! I’m up!” Alexander stretched himself and collected his things, and headed out with Terrance, Helene in tow as well. After dropping off Helene, Terrance winked at her. ”Let’s get together again soon, you hear?” He waved quickly, and tore down the, towards Jacob’s home. It would only take about 45 minutes for them to arrive, enter the home, and find room O-07 in the Patrone’s basement. The room was full of shipping boxes, which they could only assume was full of some kind of drug their family was trafficking. They weren’t unfamiliar with the Patrone’s work and their basement, having been there a few times to pick up weed with Jacob.
On the opposite side of the room was a futon, where Jacob was curled up. It looked as if he were sleeping, but in reality, he was completely doped up. Terrance sighed shaking his head, while Alexander quickly moved to Jacob’s side, checking his breathing and pulse. ”Oof.. Jacob is going to be gone on a long trip, it seems.” Alex stated, examining his friend’s condition and the opium pipe that laid on the floor beside him. ”Oh what the hell, when did this happen? He hasn’t acted out like this since… since…” Terrance was starting to put a few numbers together and got on his knees beside Jacob, trying to shake him awake. ”Terrance, he isn’t going to wake up that easily. He is practically in comatose!”
Terrance was shaking his head rapidly. ”Goddamnit, Jacob! What did you say to her?? Alex, call Arthur and tell him he needs to get his ass here. Now! We have to do damage control.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
God, Arthur could really go for a cigarette right about now. Arthur stared up at the ceiling of Eva’s room. His heart had steadied and so had his racing hormones. One of his hands was playing with Eva’s hair, who was now sleeping beside him. She looked so beautiful and peaceful beside him. He wanted to stay there forever, and relive their little actions over and over in his head. Ever movement, every feeling. Arthur heard the sound of his phone vibrating in his pants pockets on the floor. Turning as to not disturb Eva, he grabbed it up and checked the screen, as it was flooded with missed calls and messages. The first one he saw was from his father. He quickly swiped it away, not wanting to deal with that right now. The rest were several missed calls from Jacob, and a missed call just now from Alex. Preparing to keep his voice low, he called Alex back.
”- it’s Arthur. Hello?? Arthur!” There was a shuffling and scuffing sound on the other end of the line as the phone was grabbed away. ”Get to Jacob’s now! O-07.” There was more scuffing sounds as the phone was ripped back to Alex. ”Arthur he is ODing! Get here now!!” Alexander’s voice sounded panicked and Arthur’s heart felt like it had leapt into his throat. What the hell? What did they mean he was ODing? What the hell happened?
Moving quickly, but still trying to avoid waking Eva, he grabbed his pants and pulled them back on, leaving any trash he had from earlier on the floor. He probably broke a speed record for grabbing his shirt, shoulder holsters, and jacket from the bathroom, making it out the front door, and straight to the unmarked vehicle before flying down the street. He couldn’t think of Eva now, his only thoughts were on his best friend. ODing? But Arthur had just seen him earlier today, they were staking out the Esperanza house together! Arthur remembered that Jacob left very suddenly and abruptly, so did that have to do with anything? Arthur felt his heart sinking in his chest, remembering Evelyn and Eva. But he couldn’t focus on the mission right now, he sped through roads and lights, all he could think about was checking on his friend. ”Idiot. Don’t you fucking die!”
The phone was hung up abruptly and Terrance crossed his arms, glaring at Alex. ”Why would you say that?? He isn’t ODing. If anything he is just having a hell of a good trip… and is in for a rude awakening soon enough.” Terrance turned his head, glaring at the resting Jacob.
