Little Deaths Page #4

How's it going?

Same as last

week, eh?

Oheers, mate.

Will that be okay?

Yeah, yeah,

that's sweet.

It's not too strong.

Enjoy.

Here you go.

All right.

Enjoy.

[Doorbell rings]

What the f***

happened to you?

[Faucet pouring]

- Were you off your head?

- No.

So what happened?

Why were

you taking risks?

I got mugged.

My bag got stolen.

My head hurts, Frank.

Oan we not do this now?

Babe's, it's really

not working, is it?

Every week something

like this happens.

Now, I know

you've tried.

But it's really

not happening.

I just want a pill for my

head and to go to bed, okay?

I've got to go out.

Frank.

Hello, Frank.

Dr. Reese.

Fresh?

Very.

It's important.

We need

twice as much.

Tricky.

It's a crucial time.

You'll be well paid.

Okay. I'll see

what I can do.

I can always use resourceful

men in my line of work, Frank.

Doctor Reese?

I need to speak to you.

It's, uh...

it's about my girlfriend.

(Jen)

I'm a recovering drug user.

Well, I mean I'm trying.

It's hard. I manage

to stay clean

for a week or two and

then I have a bad day.

Frank's been great.

But sometimes...

sometimes I just get

this ache inside

and it's the only

thing that helps.

Is that all?

Well, I was...

I was on the

game for a bit.

How long?

A whlle, I can't

remember exactly.

A few years.

Frank would know.

Frank was your pimp.

He looked after

me at first

but, you know, once

we got together

he didn't want me

doing it anymore.

So you stopped.

Well, I cut back.

I started to work

through an agency

and that way Frank

wasn't involved.

And now?

I'm trying to

find a job.

But it's hard.

I'm going to give

you some tablets.

They're new

but very promlslng.

They're strong so don't be

tempted to exceed the dally dose.

And we'll need

to take a blood test.

Now you may get

some slde effects.

You might encounter

some slight hallucinations,

noises, lights,

possibly some headaches,

nothing to be

alarmed about.

But It's entlrely

your cholce, of course.

Jen, if we work together it

can really make a difference.

You've been

through so much.

(male volce) How much do

you know about Doctor Reese?

He must trust you.

I'm his nephew.

[Unintelligible]

Get your first

aid training?

Yeah.

Good. You'll

need lt.

You'll be night shift.

Our boy needs watching

around the clock now.

J ust make sure he doesn't die on you

or U ncle Reese

will not be happy.

Stinks in there.

[Inhales deeply]

[Releases air]

Not good.

Not good at all.

[Light trickling]
