Being a part of the drug world wasn't something Blade Thomas hoped for or ever wanted, but it was the life he grew up in, the world he belonged in. When things go wrong in this world, Blake gets shot in the chest and leg, and finds himself unable to go to a hospital, as all gunshot wounds are reported to the police. What solution does his brother Peyton come up with to save his life? Kidnap medical student Arlette Grey, whose father owns the hospital that Payton works at as a custodian. Take her, have her fix Blade and then let her go once he's doing better. How does someone do that without having her immediately report them to the police once she is let go? Take the memory away, make her forget. Wipe it clean. Sometimes, forgetting is survival.
