Thirty minutes passed and it was now dark. Ricky hadn’t seen any sign of them and was getting more aggravated as the minutes clicked by. Suddenly th... bedroom light came on and he watched Mel come to the window, and take down the temporary towel curtain. Yardman eased beside her and measured the window then wrote on his pad. Yardman turned from the window and came face to face with Mel. Ricky watched her hand ease up onto his shoulder, then she kissed him. Yardman leaned over and set the tape. She took out a small box and pulled out a large joint. "So, you want to smoke" she asked me with a smile "yeah I do" I said back my voice shaking in anxiety of my first time "getting high". Samantha could see I was nervous and she patted my leg, don’t worry its good clean shit, the most it will do is make you laugh, eat or fuck she said with a giggle and light up the fat cylinder of potent smelling weed. From my first drag I knew i was hooked. I loved the way it tasted, the way it felt going. He filled out the appropriate form, signed it, and said, "Now go do what you guys are supposed to do. Find the bad guys."The judge looked at Mark and said, "You Sir, have found some gold among your misfortune. Make sure you reward those that have helped you."Mark's face reflected the relief he felt. He said, "I will, Your Honor, I will do my best."Frank said he would meet us downtown and took off. Sarah said to Frank then Mark, "As soon as I know you're safe for the night, I'll go home too, but. "thankyou" i responded....and then felt stupid. He started the car and drove.we were driving for around 15 minutes, when he pulled over, we got out of the car and walked about 50 yards up the street, he then lead me thru a gate and across an overgrown courtyard, broken bricks and bottles were strewn everywhere, and graffiti was all over the walls. We approched a block of flats, no lights seemed to be on in any of the windows. "You live here?" I asked nervously, "yes" he said. We walked through.
