"They say we are asleep until we fall in love
We are children of dust and ashes
But when we fall in love we wake up
And we are a god and angels weep
But if I die here tonight
I die in my sleep"

Benicia felt ridiculous. She wasn't able to get in contact with Matt but she still looked up this Jasper Evans guy. She still searched for him and now she was parked and seated in her car in front of a lead. She was completely caffeinated now as well. With her lack of sleep, she'd need it. She got out of her car after slipping her gun into her bag.
She walked through everything. The only thing lighting her way was red lights. Even as she stepped into the shady building, the only lights were red. She probably looked strung out and unhinged, which probably helped her in this situation.
"Are you lost?"
Benicia squinted under the red lights as it gleamed over her glasses, "Not if you're holding."
"You a cop?"
With a huff, Benicia rolled her eyes, "Doesn't fucking matter what I am. I'm just looking for a couple of teeners."
The guy felt her up but she kicked his shin. He stepped away from her, "That'll be eighty dollars."
Benicia pulled an envelope out and started to count the cash inside. She knew they would ask for cash. She wasn't surprised. "And crash." She handed him the money before he knelt down before handing her the drugs.
Benicia clasped her hand shut with the drugs on her palm. She felt like hurling at the touch of it. She had heard enough about drugs while in her meetings, if she hadn't, she wouldn't have known how to order this without asking. And she didn't want to have to ask Karen something like this. She walked further into the house as she looked at the different faces inside. She rubbed her nose at the strong smells inside.
She knelt beside one of the people inside, "Hey... uh... point me toward Jasper Evans and these are yours."
"What's it to you?" Benicia stood up slowly and turned to face him. "Everybody out. Get out!"
Benicia stared at the man as all the others scurried out quickly, "Jasper Evans?" She ducked as she felt a heat source behind her. Her reflexes aren't that fast because he grabbed her hair. She gasped loudly and rammed her elbow into his sternum. She quickly backed away and dodged as another tried to grab her.
Matt made his appearance and took out the guys before they could get to her. He lifted Jasper Evans, "Sit down." He threw him onto the ground and punched him one last time.
"You okay?" Benicia asked him as she breathed out. All she got was a head twitch from him but that was good okay. "Okay... So you knew his last known address? You knew he'd probably be here, so what... what were you waiting for? For me? You know I'd come?"
"I hoped."
"My fucking God." Benicia knelt down and stayed in a squatting position in front of him, "Matt... Okay, look, I'm gonna help you. But... after that, I need you to help us. The FBI are all over us-"
"You want me to turn myself in." Matt concluded for her.
Benicia bit down on her lower lip from the nerves, "Did you talk to any of the others?"
