"I have a delivery date set for tonight." Woody began, looking at the three of us.

We finally got together to talk everything out. But nobody had done any talking yet except Woody. Gemma had agreed to watching Sophie for the day, which is really fucking great of her.

Last night after Dan returned I texted Woody.

It's time that things go back to normal. I don't want the feeling of panic that this business has created. The thought of meeting bulky drug addicts doesn't appeal to me now that it isn't crucial.

"Is everyone okay with that?" Woody asked looking across the booth to the three of us.

"I guess." Kyle was the first to speak. Me and Dan both looked at him, our eyes wide. We had planned on telling Woody today that we didn't want to keep it up.

"Alright cool. You and Will are delivering around a hundred grams tonight around 5:00. Is that cool?" I just shook my head, all will power to fight gone.

As long as I wouldn't be doing anything I could manage. Last time was absolutely terrible. I don't understand how people find it fun.

"Are you ready?" I looked to Kyle, both of us not ready to leave the safety of our car.

The area around us was almost completely vacant factories, and vandalized crumbling buildings. It looked like the typical drop off area.

"No." He chuckled, pulling his backpack into his lap. Kyle then pulled out the bag of white powder, examining it carefully.

"Has he texted you yet?" I asked Kyle making him check his phone.

"Oh wait yeah he has. Here I'll pull up the directions." He mumbled, looking at the bright screen.

"First building next to the railroad. He just said it has a bunch of colorful graffiti on it, and a wooden door."

I thought about it for a second.

By Kyle, Dan, and me doing this Woody would just schedule another. And then we would be stuck once more in the cycle.

"Should we do this?" Kyle asked me, like he could read my thoughts. I thought about it once more, and then shook my head.

"Woody is gonna kill us." I sighed, thinking of the short man's anger.

"Yeah he is." He laughed humorlessly.
