her coffee is black, and pipping hot. just how she likes it. she lets it warm her hand before taking a sip. watching him. she likes their little moments. ❛ hm. ❜ she nods, taking another sip before setting the mug down. hands dip into her lap but she leans closer to him, ribs touching the table’s edge ( it’s too high and she is too short , making her feel like a kid. a feeling she is all to familiar with. ) ❛ i get that. i think i fall in the other category too. but i ---- i guess i’m just good at pretending. ❜ sitting alone with someone is something she is used to. but it isn’t often so personal of a setting. ❛ i think you do a good job, at being a person, i mean. ❜

kngdios:
funny how some end up in life. a child who dreams of becoming a politician suddenly grows old to have a job as a senator at the white house. a child who dreams of become a teacher becomes a garbage cleaner. nothing is as it would seem and yet gadiel had dreams of become like escobar. what a dream. to be surrounded by money and have the world know your name. have the government fear you, and the things you were capable of. that young child would grow tall and apathetic. his eyes? absent of feeling. an abyss of darkness you could easily drown in. it’d swallow you whole but refuse to spit you out. letting you become as hallow as he.
“ are you requesting fentanyl ? damn, how you changed since i last saw you. we have it pure. straight from the hospital ready to inject or if your ‘ friend ’ feels too queasy … we’ve got patches … and lollipops. or if you’d prefer something a little more potent we have it mixed with either cocaine or heroin. ” he’ll pause and see her hand reaching. how sad it was to see trembling hands. she wasn’t afraid and he was aware, but the twitching ? could she be the user ? “ claire i’d like a level of respect from you as i do any other client, but if this is for your own use i’d like you to be upfront. people buying for friends aren’t exactly permitted. if you are in fact telling the truth i’ll be needing a name. ”
it must be her. the death of zurich must’ve hit a bit too hard. she spins round and round a cycle of emotions. sadness is a curse. it makes living hard, but trying to survive can be worse. you get up and outta bed but that’s the least of your worries. get through it day by day. conceal your frown with a smile. gadiel sighs and sinks into his chair. he watches her from behind his desk ominously. drugs that take pain away always have their victims coming back. it takes it away for a moment. brief but euphoria was all it gave you. high above the clouds flying to the stars, but the landing was sharp. head tilts to the side as he glances back at her hand. he smirks, teeth beginning to become visible as he returns his gaze back towards her eyes.
“ claire, give me the name and i’ll happily give you a discount. ”
she nods, fentanyl works. despite the side effects, the addictive properties. she’d been relying on the SSRIs prescribed by the family doctor but it just wasn’t enough. the booze, the weed --- didn’t help either. and she ached all over. her head never cleared. she’d even considered something like adderall but the anxiety was too much. the paranoia ---- and she’s shaking because she’s scared. she’s scared this is how it is going to be for the rest of her life. a constant cycle of hurt. the tears have all but run out and she feels numb. maybe --- this will help her feel again. maybe she can go back to being normal. and smile. ( although she had never really been normal. emotions spin on a dial of denial and regret ) .
❛ oh god , no ---- just ... basic stuff is fine. ❜ she wrings her fingers tight together in front of her. portraying how nervous she was. ice cold, and sweating bullets. when he asks for a name, she tries to cover the expression of shock. shaking her head at the notion. ❛ i --- i can’t. it’s a patient of mine , they asked me to keep it private. ❜ patient confidentiality can still apply if that patient is yourself.
she composes herself with a breath. staying calm was important. professional, despite the problems each of them faced. pausing, to try and come up with a lie. evident that he could catch it the second it poured from her mouth. she felt restrained, suffocated. just give me the fucking pills. ❛ i don’t want a discount. i just want --- what i came here for. ❜ he’s gotten under her skin once before but usually she’s controlled enough not to show it. the irritation buries deep. and she wants to lash out. ❛ you know who it’s for. ❜ don’t make me say it. ❛ and i trust you over anybody else with this but ---- i’ll go somewhere else if i have to. ❜ a brave and absolute lie. but maybe if she got desperate enough. the sleepless nights weigh heavy on her. the kind of nights that zurich used to ease with his presence.
she unhinges her fingers to go through her pocket, keeping an eye on the few around her. she produces a roll of cash and waves it for him to see. ❛ you know who it’s for. ❜

little detective. or maybe she’s here for other matters. drug related ? everyone had their pick of poison. take from the needle or the glass but you still feel that rush. he simply provided a certain kind of euphoria for a price. detached and apathetic to the reason, slow drag of his words always left them hanging on. begging , pleading for another itch at their habit. he rests in his chair free of worry. that is until his guards are walking along side a woman, claire. what she wanted was a mystery but her presence was never unwanted.
“ hello beautiful, ”
he remains in his seat, relaxed , legs spread and posture containing dominance. gadiel almost appeared pleased by her visit , although her motive does have him curious. zurich was gone, so she could’ve only come for him. interesting … and with a smug smirk his lips will part to ask the obvious question.
“ and what brings you here, to me. ”
@girlsouth
she feels strange, being accompanied by two men. big men, with big guns. down dark hallways. to someone she’s been personal with --- more personal, perhaps, than even the men he surrounds himself with. she isn’t afraid. more amused at the elaborate facade people with power give themselves. like it couldn’t take just one person with enough information to send it all crumbling down. she isn’t that person. but curiosity kills the cat, and satisfaction always brings her back. she’s got nine lives after all.
she stands before a KING, but a king of land she doesn’t belong in. just by poor circumstance has she been granted the pleasure of getting to know gadiel. after grieving, again. and again. she thinks she’s doing better but there’s something behind the eyes that isn’t quite right. maybe it never was to begin with. a constant and never wavering darkness. she is tired. ❛ i’m trying to help someone out. ❜ a circumstantial patient, a friend. ❛ i’m wondering if you have anything that could help them. it’s for pain, but they can’t get it from hospitals. and they need a lot of it. i have money. ❜ she doesn’t reach into her pockets but her hands twitch out to him. she’s in need. as much as she hates playing the damsel, she has the excuse of being the unconventional doctor to someone with needs more important than her own.
@asperad said :
‘ you always tell us if we see something, say something. ’
fingers drum impatient songs. like she’s waiting for a crash. a fall. a sting on the bone of her cheek. brief and everlasting pain. ❛ did you see something ? ❜ the headlights of a passing car. eyes that avoid you as you pass them by. maybe a footprint in the sand. or blood on the ceiling. something small, something with more meaning behind it than what she’s been told. something more than empty promises, and shallow apologies.
