EXCERPT

Adrian started driving toward the bar.  It had taken all he had not to laugh at the uniforms when they came into the apartment; he knew both men well. Rico was almost crapping his pants, he was so scared.  It was all part of the job – including the small amounts of cocaine he was actually seen distributing.  Appearances were everything – no one would trust him otherwise.  And the job at the bar was so he would be known in the neighborhood – no one would think twice about a local bartender dealing some on the side.  Tony hadn’t cared since he thought he was Adrian’s main supplier and to him, a sale was a sale – what he hadn’t known was Adrian got most of it out of the police lockup.

            Adrian walked into the building and Marco was behind the bar, a single customer on one of the stools.  Marco Melchiori was a big Italian guy – six-foot-six, three hundred pounds, in his mid-sixties.  He smiled broadly as Adrian made his way up to him.

            “Thought you were a goner,” Marco started, pulling Adrian into a big bear hug and clapping him on the back.

            “It was all bullshit,” Adrian said, telling the story a second time.  “They keep at it, but they got nothing on me.”

            “You want your job back?”

            “If I could – need to pay rent,” he answered.

            “People found out you were gone and my sales took a nose dive,” Marco told him.  “I don’t know what they see in you, pretty boy, but whatever it is, I’m buying.”

            “Same as before?  Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights?”

            “Sure, unless you want more time.  Could use you Tuesday and Wednesday, too.”

            Adrian nodded.  “Wednesday okay.  Need some time for other things, so not too interested in Tuesday.”

            “Deal,” Marco said, putting his beefy hand out.

            Adrian took it.  “You know of any cheap apartments?  Cops are freaking all over mine.  Was barely there a minute this morning and they were already stomping around.  Won’t get any peace and quiet at this rate and I’m tired of their butting in all the time.  Usually at all the inopportune moments.”

            “Can rent you the apartment upstairs, if you want.  Last guy moved a week ago and I haven’t rented it yet.”

            “Show it to me?”

            Marco started walking toward the back and nodded for Adrian to follow him.  They walked outside to the back of the bar to a staircase leading up to the second floor.  Marco went up first and unlocked the door.  Adrian followed him inside.

            “Look around. Come back down and let me know,” Marco instructed before heading back down the stairs.

            Adrian inventoried the apartment.  It had a living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom – the bathroom only had a shower, which Adrian preferred over a bathtub anyway.  What little he had at the other place would easily fit here with room to spare, as this was much bigger.  Plus this would work out really well – closer in town and next to the bar, where he did most of his work anyway.  Adrian also liked that it was a single apartment and he didn’t have to be wary of the neighbors.  He locked the door behind him, taking the key out of the knob, and went back downstairs into the bar.

            “How much?” Adrian asked, offering the key back to Marco.

            Marco didn’t take it.  “I normally get eight-hundred for it, including utilities.  For you, five-hundred.”

            “Done,” Adrian confirmed and Marco waved off the key.  Adrian pulled his wallet out and set five one-hundred dollar bills on the counter, pushing them toward Marco.  “There’s the first month.”

            Marco picked them up, pocketing them.  “Need help moving stuff?  My brother’s looking for some extra work.”

            “Maybe with the couch and the refrigerator.  Tell him I’ll pay a hundred to help out.”

            “Same phone number?”

            “Yeah – phone’s still charging though.  Got a little dead in a month,” he said sarcastically.  “Should be good this afternoon.”

            “I’ll tell him.  Wednesday at six, right?” Marco asked.  Adrian normally worked six to close for him.

            “I’ll be here.”

EXCERPT

 

“Making new friends, Deeta?”

I jump at the sound of Tanya’s voice.

“I suppose I was, he was asking if there was anything we needed.”

“I’d be careful if I were you, goodness only knows what he’ll want in return.”

“Tanya!” I flush red, angry and embarrassed. “He just wanted to make sure we were comfortable, that all of us are comfortable.”

“Yeah whatever... trust me, Deeta, he spells trouble.”

“Don’t be silly, I think—”

“That’s the trouble, Deeta, you’re not such an authority are you? You thought Tomasz was fine and look what he turned out to be!” I see a spiteful glint come into her eyes. “He’s ruined you, you know. None of the boys will want you now, not after…” Her voice trails off suggestively and she looks after Robin. “Come to think of it, perhaps you should be nice to that Marshall. Or had you already thought of that?”

I watch in silence as she walks away, a self satisfied smile plastered over her face. Knowing that everyone in the hallway is looking at me, but not meeting my eyes, I drop the cloth I’m holding and walk, quite sedately up the stairs.

I don’t have any destination in mind, but feel a kind of numbness come over me and everything disappears. There’s no thought, no pain, not even the sensation of passing time.

I come to myself, face to face with a large door. From its shape and size I know that it is the door to the roof, my often used place of refuge. The handle puts up resistance in my fingers and with both hands I begin to pull madly at its unresponsive locks. The tears are coursing down my face as I beat a rhythmless tattoo against the hard wood.

I cry for everything in those moments. I cry for Dec and for Keya, for Jamie’s misery and Tom’s coldness, for the huge and strange changes that have tangled us all in their intricate web. My fist is suddenly arrested in a warm and firm clasp and I’m turned and pulled into a comforting embrace. Only one person I know radiates the comfort that I can feel tangible in the air and I allow myself to relax in Tom’s arms.

For a while my shuddering sobs continue and his left arm around my waist remains tight, while his right hand smoothes my hair back from my face. But even tears must stop eventually and I become quiet.

“I didn’t mean to be silly, Tom, it just—”

“I saw, Deeta.”

I lean against him, absorbing the kindness and gentleness of him, just as I absorb his warmth. Tom understands, he understands what I can’t even put into words and his understanding is a relief. I stand there with my head resting against his shoulder and time rolls back so that I don’t feel awkward. My next question is as frank as we had used to be with each other.

“Are we good, Tom?”

“Yes, Deeta. We’re good.”

He draws away from me and hands me his handkerchief, I take it from him, wiping my eyes.

“Is my face red and puffy?”

“Honesty decrees that I say yes.”

“I thought so... thanks, Tom.”

“What for?”

“For being there when I need you most. That’s what matters isn’t it; being there for your friends when things are tight?”

“I guess so.”

He puts his arm around my shoulders and we begin to walk down to the lower levels. Outside my door he does something he’s never done before. He leans forwards and kisses my cheek, much like he would have kissed Tarri or Carris.

“Goodbye, Deeta, be good.”
