"god, I can't believe you talked me into this Nathaniel" "Just call me Nathan, and what do you mean drag? I asked if you wanted to see what it's like and you agreed" "heh sure" Nathan just smiled and faced forward once again. I looked up at the sky, I can only see a small portion of it because of the tall building blocking the view and hiding some stars underneath the light pollution making it seem almost bare. The buildings also hide the moon but it's reflection is still visible at the top of a skyscraper, it looks bigger than usual but that may just be the distortion from the glass. "Hey Nathan, what exactly are we delivering this late?" he turned his head slightly "you'll see when we get there" he says and re-positions his head, causing his long, dirty blonde hair to shake. I'm almost six feet tall but he still beats me by a couple inches, he seems strong but he is not muscular and i haven't seen him at the gym at all. "Alright, just down here" he says and turns right into a dark alley, it was filled with trash bins overflowing and spilling onto the pavement, Nathan stops beside a specific bin "and now we wait". It's been a few minutes and me and Nathan discussed our favorite TV shows when a figure appears at the beginning of the alley and slowly walks toward us, as he gets closer I am able to see more details about him, he is wearing a baggy black hoodie with matching baggy black sweatpants and bright red sneakers. He finally gets up to us "a-are you the g-guys?" his voice is deep and scratchy and there are visible scars on his face from where he picked at scabs "yeah we are, you got the cash?" the man pulls a handful of bills out of his pocket and hands it to Nathan who looks at it carefully then smiles and nods, he then slips his backpack off his shoulders and takes a large bag out handing it to the man who quickly leaves. Nathan looks at me "see? easy money" "hah, seemed easy enough, but... what was in the bag?" "Heroin" he says quickly "I sell heroin, and i have a few regulars", it's taken a couple of minutes for me to find my voice "damn, that's a pretty bad drug isn't it?" "oh yeah it is, it's bad but these people will pay a ton for this stuff" he then hands me half of the cash in his hand "damn.. this isn't that bad.." he smirks at my comment and walks forward with me by his side. Thirty minutes later we arrive at his apartment, unlocks and opens the door "welcome to my humble abode" his house is a lot cleaner than i thought it would be with very little garbage laying around. We sit down on his couch and talk a bit, he doesn't have a door to his kitchen so i can easily see his large off white fridge and other appliances, his bedroom door is closed with a sticker reading "Bio hazard". I look at the clock and it's almost one A.M.! "Holy crap! it's almost one, i should leave" Nathan stop me before i could get up "wait, i have a surprise" he turns towards his end table for a bit and when he turns around he has 2 needles filled with a dark substance "is that...?" "yep, lets both do it" he says grinning i look around, i've never done heroin but I don't want to disappoint him now, i take the needle "alright let's do this".
