i went back in at patsys for my shift and i saw sierra and taylor. we were all working when we saw carl walk in with a duffle bag and we followed him in the back.
"cocaine or cash?" sierra asked.
"what?" carl asked.
"the duffle bag you're carrying, what's in it?" i asked him.
"oh. military school uniforms, field supplies... has emma been around here looking for me?" carl asked.
"no. called a couple dozen times, though." sierra said.
"you can't tell her i was here." carl said.
"you still haven't told her, carl?" taylor asked.
"i'm waiting for the right time." carl replied.
"which is when? when you're already gone?" taylor asked.
"i'll tell her tonight. i have to go back to military school tomorrow." carl said.
"sounds like true love." sierra said making me chuckle.
"it is. and i love her too. but i also love my brothers in 2nd squad, bravo platoon just as much. i mean, why can't she understand that? you can love two things at once if you're not fucking them both, right? yeah, make sure no one smokes back here. i'm looking at you two." carl said looking over at taylor and i.
"or what?" taylor asked.
"you get a spark too close to that, could take out the whole block." carl said as the three of us stood there with our mouths hung open.
"okay, we will not smoke back here." i said before we all went back to work.
when i was off on my break, i took out my phone and found ian's contact before calling him.
but of course, his voicemail showed up. i just hung up knowing that leaving him a voicemail wasn't going to make a difference, especially not if he's off his meds.
i found lips contact and i started to call him, he picked up after the third ring.
"hey, babe. everything okay?" lip asked me since i never call him while we're both at work.
"you seen ian around?" i asked him.
"uhh, no, why?" lip replied.
"the cops are looking for him, trevor came to tell me." i explained.
