Chapter 37 - Delirious

Saturday night..

::Carlos's POV::

I have truly outdone myself. I was skeptical at first, didn't really think I could pull it off, but I did... with a little help from my sister, Marcella. The greatest gift of all time. I know they will be thankful. Or terrified... or both. Either way, I can't wait to see their reactions.

::Andromeda's POV::

Sooooo Carlos has been basically letting the whole bunker become a college frat house. He's been letting us party day in, day out. He's even let those in the cages out for fun. No doping kids up on personality altering meds, no fight club, no abuse and torture. Just one big ongoing party, in honor of me and Jah's birthday. And I quote, "Big occasions call for big celebrations..."

We were in the kitchen, eating what might've been our 4th box of pizza, blasting FXCK and drunk off the moment when Carlos came in and called for our attention.

"I'd like to make a toast to Jahseh and Andromeda, two game changers, that I also have one last last gift for before the week is over." Everybody lifted their cups to their faces as he finished and we drank whatever was left. Carlos asked Jah and I to follow him to his office so he could give us whatever this last gift was. I was giggly and stumbled once or twice down the hallway. Jah was laughing at me flopping my way to Carlos's office. I don't drink, personally I can't stand the taste of alcohol but I do like pills and I didn't deny myself that pleasure when that guy Marco slipped me some xans. That was dumb. They could've been laced and I could've woken up in the back of a van, on the way to get my organs trafficked but I didn't care. Of course Jah looked like he wanted to punch the dude in his jaw but he refrained. I mixed some vodka up with some apple juice to mask the taste and popped a few just for the one time.

"I'm never drinking again, ever never!" I half mumbled, half giggled.

"What about your pill habit?" Jah said, stretching his arms above his head, making his shirt reveal a little bit of his V line. Jesus Christ.

"Oh that stays. Everything else goes."

"I hope your head is on straight enough to accept your gift. I hate for it to go to waste..." Carlos said as we approached the doors of his office.

"Nawwwww, I'm good, I just need my balance." I slurred.

"Good. It's the gift of a lifetime." He said, last part mostly to himself. He smiled subtlety to himself and unlocked the door.

::Jahseh's POV::

He flicked the light on and my blood froze for a few seconds. I should have known. All the partying, all the leniency would come at a price. Fuck, man.

I couldn't help but notice Andromeda straighten completely up at the sight before us. Before, the energy she was exerting was inconsistent with carelessness and intoxication. Now, the energy was consistent. With rage.

Two teens sat in front of us bound to chairs, a girl and the left and a boy on the right beside her. I didn't recognize the girl, the first thing she said when she opened her mouth let me know exactly who she was. They both spoke simultaneously.

"Andromeda?"

"Jah?"
