The man jumps off the bunk bed, wearing his old clothes from a long time ago, as his feet hit the ground, a sigh leaves his lips as he can finally leave this place for now. He knows that he might come back, rehabilitation is something he's stuck with, mostly since he doesn't intend to stop drinking or doing drugs anytime soon.
He walks to the hallway, passing some of his rehab buddies that won't leave for a bit more longer. He points to another man in a bunk, as he nears them.
"Hey, you, stay strong." He tells the man as he walks past on the top bed of the bunk and pets his arm. "I believe in you. Okay?" He tells the man as he twirls around and continue on his way out.
He passes another man on a lower bunkbed and points at him too. "You, not so much." He says before they both chuckle at that, he will miss some of these guys. They weren't bad people at all, just people that just like him, have a problem with drinken or drugs, or both.
He steps out into to hallway. "Bye, Klaus." Another man tells him as he walks the short distance up to the front desk to receive the little of possessions back that he wasn't allowed to take in with him. He will miss this place, for a short while. He'll be back, he just knows it.
The man behind the front desk gives him back a little ziplock bag with his little possessions and looks him dead in the eyes. "We'll see you soon, Klaus." As he tosses him a coin. Before he starts the walk away from the front desk and the attendant behind it. "Stay sober." The attendant calls out to him.
"Mm." Klaus replies as he kisses the coin and walks out of the hallway into another before he gets finally to the front doors and they're opened for him by the security to keep others leaving that aren't supposed to leave yet, it's nice that they don't need to ask him for anything to let him leave, he's been here too many times already.
He leaves through the doors, the security guard shakes his head as Klaus salutes him. "Stay clean." The man tells him with a stern voice before pulling the door closed in his face.
He wanders around The City for a while, looking for his highs and the numbness of the drinks. And so, it doesn't take him more than four hours to locate where he needs to find what.
Walking down a back alley, towards a car and a man waiting by it. His attention gets caught as he hears police siren wailing in the distance. Walking up to him as he does the same.
He hands the man the cash he wants for it before getting handed the drugs he wants and giving the man a little kiss on the cheek. Almost giggling like a schoolgirl as he takes a few very excited steps back and smooches the tiny ziplock bag with drug to his lips and turns around to continue on his way.
He pops one, and not feeling the kick, yet he knows it will take a few moments before it will kick in but he's impatient and wants to numb himself immediately, so he pops another and another before he feels rather faint and falls.
