"Kay was my lover for a while you know. It was like, hey, we share joints, we might as well share some more." I half-listened to some guys I barely know talking about Kahlen Storme. Everyone who's even taken anything illegal that I've met seems to have a story to tell about Kay, as a friend or a lover - seems she slept around more than we knew, and took just about everything. I have not passed any of this on to Raven, she'd go ape shit.
I prepare my poison. Heroin. As I pay my dealer for the smack, he says .... "You're Lukey Comatose, right?" "Y-yes." I don't really care about hiding my identity, if people recognise me then fuck it. Oh, and I've got a massive sore in my mouth, that explains the stutter. It'll go away soon, I'm sure, probably just my second wisdom tooth coming through, I had a bit of a lump with the first one. "Do you think Jakey would approve?" I don't want to answer that. I just shake my head. I know he wouldn't, but I need something to look after me. Having a brother with leukaemia, his wife with a heart murmur, and not to mention that my oldest brother just died, along with his wife, and my best friend .... and my girlfriend. I have such mixed feelings about Sophy right now. I really loved her, she was my future, she was carrying my child. But at the same time, she killed 33 people, including Jason and Catriona and Rayne, and if it wasn't for Machete, Raven wouldn't have survived. "Sophy was bad news," said my flatmate Dave. "You're so easily misguided, Lucas." Easy for him to say, he'd only met her once or twice. I think she loved me, but she was really crazy. Not the eccentric and a little bit mental kind of crazy like her twin was, REALLY crazy. "It was t-t-totally w-weird th-that the p-people S-S-Sophy w-wanted d-dead s-s-survived ...." I say, completely randomly to the others, who are still swapping Kahlen Storme stories. (This isn't atypical. I often talk about the genocide for no reason.) It's true, Sophy really wanted to bump off Jimmy, Mache and Raven, and they all lived.
Enough of these thoughts - I push down my syringe .... and after a short wait, the rush gets me, and I'm happily high, away from it all .... |
