Crazy Is The Normal

The Visit

"I promise I'll get you you're money Jasper, just give me a little more time" pleaded Jake. "Oh Jake, you know I love you right buddy? That's why I'll let you have more time but I swear if you don't have my 5K next time we meet, I'll slash you're throat" I replied. Jake took off and  ran back into the casino, probably to try his luck at blackjack and win me my 5K.

Cody and Daniel like to call me a loan shark but I don't like to classify myself with those types. I prefer to just be called a guy who helps people out of situations and gets paid in return. So I guess pretty much like a loan shark but still, I don't like to be called that.

I headed into the casino and talked to a few whales I knew who played at the high stakes tables. Most where just a bunch of rich guys that had more money  then they knew what to do with. Even so, they always looked out for me when I was just starting out. After awhile of bull-shitting, I headed out to go collect.

Lately shit has been pretty bizarre, I heard that there were a few killings here and there outside the city, now moving closer and closer. Probably some stupid methheads fighting over some Ice. I heard that there was a few dirty, disgusting labs out towards those areas.

After a couple hours, I finished up collecting what was owed today and started to head home when my phone rang. It was Daniel asking if I wanted to go back to the strip club, to watch more of angel but I declined and told him maybe another time. I got home, went into my room, grabbed my lock box, punched in the code and did the finger print scan and put the money inside.

I sat in my chair and turned on the TV. I wasnt really paying attention to it because I was on my phone checking a few things and making plans. Once 3:00pm came around, I made some food and headed out. I lit a cigarette and looked up at the sky. I stood their for about 15 minutes, till I decided to start walking.

I checked my phone but had no new notifications. I hope it goes through and it's confirmed. I continued to walk, till I eventually got to the liquor store and bought myself a drink. I headed to a park and sat their waiting. I really need a break from all this, it's so repetitive and obnoxious. I just need something crazy to happen for once.

I got up and headed out again, I felt my phone vibrate, so I checked it and saw that it was confirmed. Oh fuck yeah. I started heading in the direction of the building. I don't really come this way, it's always so busy and so upper class. I noticed that I had a new notification, so I opened it and it was a picture of Cody and Daniel at the strip club.

Man they can find the most easiest joy in the world. I lit a cigarette, while I was waiting for the cross walk to tell me to go. Once I was a few blocks away, I started to feel my heart beat faster. Now this is a feeling I haven't felt in awhile. I was nervous and I could feel my adrenaline starting to rush all over my body.

As I reached the building, I put out my cigarette, pulled out my brass knuckles and switchblade and hid them behind some bushes in front of the place. I walked up the steps, took a deep breath and walked in. I looked around and it was so white. I looked to my left and saw the front desk, I walked up to sign myself in.

I noticed a poster on the office window saying we're in this together, at the same time I hear screaming in the distance followed by radios saying code blue left wing. Yeah sure. "Who are you hear to see sweetie?" Said the lady behind the glass. "I'm hear to see Victor Creed." The lady looked at me in surprise, followed by a forceful smile.

"Ah yes, Mr. Creed, let me just buzz you in and take the first hallway to your right." I heard a loud buzzing sound and the iron bars started to open. I walked through and headed down the hallway the lady told me. I ended up at a door with a window and I could tell the door could only be opened with a card key.

I pushed the button and someone came on the speaker. "Who are you here to see?" Said the voice. "Mr. Creed" the door opened and a tall bulky dude was standing in the doorway. "Just gotta check if you have any weapons" the guy said to me. Good thing I didn't bring in mine. After he was done checking me he let me in.

He shut the door behind and waited till he heard a loud click sound. "Follow me" I followed him till we got to a small hallway that had doors on each side of the hall, right next to each other. There had to be maybe 6 total. "You're the first to visit Victor since he was put here, I mean other then the police, doctors and psychiatrists."

We stopped at the last door, he banged on it and opened the window hatch so he could see in "Hey! Victor! You got a visitor!" He took a step back and started to walk back down the hall "let me know when you're finished" he said. I took a deep breath and walked up to the window.

There he was, sitting there in silence. No music, no talking to himself. Nothing. He did have a straight jacket on though. Hi Mr. Creed my name is Jasper, I just wanted to talk to you for a minute and get some insight. I believe we could get along Victor or should I say Skitzo. He got up, walked towards the door and looked me in the eyes. It felt like forever but in reality it was a few seconds but before I knew it. He gave out a small almost sinister grin.
