Stay: The sequel to Lost

Part 39

Jake decided to call it an early night. He'd been driving all over the county today and he was exhausted. Walking into the kitchen, he was surprised to see Jamie. "Hey." he said. "I thought you..." He stopped, not sure how to finish the sentence.

"Were fired? Nope." Jamie smiled and returned to stocking the refrigerator. 

Jake just shrugged. I mean, he didn't really like Jamie, but it wasn't his business. "Where is Penny?" he asked.

Jamie just laughed.

"What?" Jake asked. "Where is Liam?"

Jamie just laughed again. Jake was done with her. He walked out of the kitchen and into the living space. Liam was sitting on the couch, head back. He walked over and shook him. "Hey, bossman." he said. Liam fell to the side. "Yo, Payno. Wake up. Jamie! What is wrong with him?"

Jamie walked into the room. "How should I know? I don't keep track of what drugs he takes." She dropped herself down into a chair and grabbed the remote, flicking on the TV.

Jake grabbed the remote. "One, you aren't allowed in here. And two, yes, you should because he's sober. You absolutely should watch everything he puts in his mouth." He shook him again. "Dude, I don't even think he's breathing. Call the police." Jake laid him flat out and breathed into his mouth. "Now, Jamie!"

Jamie panicked. She'd only given him a roofie. No big deal. She just wanted him to relax but still be able to enjoy himself. She'd run out of ecstasy. Panicked, she called for an ambulance.
