I remember it like it was yesterday. It was, to me, the best year in my life. 18 years old, steady income, good friends. I had everything a teen could...ask for. I was in grade 12, Math class, the final class of my final year of high school. Finally. The anticipation of going camping with friends to my buddy’s chalet right after school was torture. As soon as the bell sounded, I bolted out of my seat, turned around once I arrived at the door, stuck both my middle fingers up and told everyone to. If by any chance the family were stopped and caught, well then that was their problem. And nothing pointed the way back to Snake and his men. Ten unsuspecting families with a couple of bags could move a lot of goods, and the big SUV’s and large family cars could take quite a lot of drugs under the car. It was a great scam and it had been Patrick’s idea. It was what he was good at. Ideas and setting up scams. Solving problems. Setting things up for Snake. But he had wanted out. Just like Jerry.. ”He nodded., “Yeah, but not in the shop, I noticed that you had-”“Not in front of my co-workers please.” I knew I had a panicked look in my face.He held up his hands, placating me. He held up a finger, “Don't go. Please?”I crossed my arms over my chest, “Fine.”He walked over to the Lexus convertible. Of course he had one of those. My used Toyota had that wonderful look of an owner who knew nothing about cars. Me.He closed the door and walked over to me. One hand behind his back. When he got to. Besides herself, there was Ginny, who was married but no children, and Tricia who was single with two small children of unknown fathers. Bella was in charge of the food preparation while Ginny worked outside the commune to produce income and Tricia did assorted jobs besides taking care of her children, one of whom was a newborn.In warm weather, Bella like to be naked and “in tune with nature”. In colder weather she would put on an appropriate top and a short skirt but eschewed undergarments..
