💊 Forced to swallow pills
FOR ANYONE BECAUSE I AM FERAL GRRRR
Sorry this has been so long! This only fills 🧃laced drink, I'll give you 💊 later. For Cass.
Cass steps down the ladder and wipes his forehead. It's hot today, but he thinks he's pleased with his work.
The owner of the house – Dan – is still around, working from home, and Cass calls to him.
A door opens and a couple of seconds later, Dan enters the freshly-plastered room. He grins.
"So you are happy with it?"
"Yeah, for sure. Exactly what I wanted."
"Great. If you could send me the rest of the money as soon as possible, that would be great."
Dan waves his hand. "Of course, of course. Would you like a cup of tea before you go?"
Cass considers it. He's not sure he wants to spend any more time here than he needs to, but it would be polite. And it's still early.
Cass follows Dan into the kitchen and stands awkwardly as he boils the kettle and dunks the teabag. He checks his phone quickly, smiling at the photo of Calixte and their children. Not long until he can see them again.
Cass takes a big gulp of scalding tea, strong enough to stand a spoon up in it. It's just how he likes it, but the faster he finishes the quicker he can see his kids. He's regretting agreeing to this now.
There's something a bit... strange about the taste of this tea, not like the other cups he's had here. It's a bit... he downs it as quickly as can be polite.
He stumbles, vision blurring. What was in that tea?
Shit. What was in that tea?
His ankle gives and he hears a smash. Black dots dance on the edge of his vision, and he feels an arm on his as he collapses.
"That's it. Careful now, don't want you hurt before we start."
Then everything fades into nothingness.
