Ron looked at Julie, and handed her a pill. "Take this. It'll help you relax."
"I'm not taking that!" she said. "I don't know what the fuck that is!"
Ron laughed a little. "With what you'll be taking in your body soon, this is nothing. It's just a sleeping pill. You need to crash for a bit. You're exhausted, and believe me, you're gonna need your energy soon." He gave her a bottle of water, she popped the pill, and then drank the entire bottle.
Debbie looked at him. "Why are you giving her that?! I want to get started making her a junkie as soon possible!"
Ron glared at Debbie "Don't tell me how to do my job. I know what I'm doing. This is not the first bitch I've turned into a junkie. If we keep going at the rate we've been moving, she's not gonna be conscious for half of what's in store for her. Or she'll be dead. And I know you want her to be aware of everything. Don't you?"
Debbie relaxed a little. "Yes I do. Sorry, but I'm a bit impatient at times. How long will she be out?"
Ron answered "About 2 hours. I want you to leave for a little while." Deb was about to argue, but Ron held his hand up to stop her. "I don't have the junk here yet. My dealer is coming over around 4:30." He looked at his watch. "Just over 2 hours from now. He's also a pimp, and I'm sure he'd love to get his hands on you. You need to be scarce. You thought I was bad news? Jake is ten times worse. In addition to bringing the junk, he's gonna sample his new whore as well. Come back around 6:30. Capeesh?"
Debbie nodded. She grabbed her purse, then walked over to Julie's purse, and grabbed her keys and phone.
"What are you doing with my stuff?!" Julie asked Debbie. Her speech was starting to slur a little.
"You said the other day that you have a dog. I'm going to take care of it." Debbie replied.
"Don't hurt my dog! She's all I've got!" Julie said, and started crying again.
"I'm not going to hurt it you idiot. You're not going to be able to take care of it anymore, so I will, until I figure out what to do with it." Debbie replied. "Can't have her living with a junkie, now can we?"
Julie started crying even more, and Debbie smiled. She looked at Ron, and said "I'll be back at 6:30. Don't start without me." Ron smiled, and said no problem. She looked back at Julie, and noticed her head was starting to slump forward a bit. Ron laid her down on the table, and put her wrists back into the restraints. She was out 30 seconds later.
Deb got in her car, lit up a cigarette, started driving, and called me, When I answered, she said "Hey Babe. How are you holding up? Heard from that bitch?" she asked with an evil smile.
I replied "No, but I did see her get into her car and leave. I tried to go after her, but she peeled out of the parking lot pretty quick!"
"Guess she changed her mind?" Debbie asked me. I didn't know what to say, so I said nothing. "Well, either way, I'm staying with Mom and Dad until at least tomorrow."
"I hate this!" I said. "Not knowing what she's gonna do next! The waiting is what's the hardest!"
Deb felt guilty putting me through this. She knew I had nothing to worry about, but she couldn't exactly tell me that, without giving herself away.
"Everything is going to be ok! I promise you!" she said, and took a deep drag. She exhaled "I know things are going to be alright! I love you!"
That made me feel a bit better. "I love you too, my little Smoke Slut." I told her, and she laughed.
"I'll talk to you later Babe." she said, and hung up. She allowed herself a small smile before getting back in focus.
15 minutes later she pulled into Julie's apartment complex, and got out. She put on latex gloves, unlocked the door, and walked in. She had a nice little apartment. Too bad she wouldn't see it again Debbie thought to herself. She walked into the bedroom, and in the kennel was a beautiful Border Collie. It perked up when she saw Debbie.
"Oh, who's a pretty girl?!" Debbie said, and the dog put its ears back and started wagging her tail. "Oh my, you're beautiful!" she said, and let her out. "You're going to come and stay with my mom for a few days. I hope." She looked around, and found her food and food bowl. She saw the leash hanging up, and attached it to the dog's collar. She carried the food and bowl out to the car, and then went back in for the dog. When she left, she kept the door ajar. "If anyone wants something, let them help themselves." she said to the dog. She figured it was better than talking out loud to herself, and chuckled.
She called her Mom on the way to her parents house. She knew Dad was at work until at least 5:30. What she needed to ask her Mom, she was sure her Dad would hem and haw about. But he was wrapped around Betty's finger, and she knew Mom would have her way. She smiled a little at that thought. 'We like our men strong, but we women like to be just a little bit stronger' she said to herself.
Betty answered on the first ring "Hi Sweetie. Everything going ok?" she asked tentatively.
"Everything is going great." Debbie replied. "I have a favor to ask though." she said.
"Whatever I can do to help." Betty replied.
Debbie said "Well, she has a dog. I need you to watch it. Just for tonight. Maybe tomorrow night as well, depending on how long this takes. Is that ok?"
"Absolutely! I love dogs! You know that!" Betty said in an excited voice. "It's your father who's not a huge fan."
"I know. That's why I called you!" Debbie said with a laugh. "I'll be there in 10 minutes!"
"See you soon!" Betty replied, and hung up.
When Debbie pulled up, her mom was waiting out front, sitting on the porch smoking. She grabbed the leash, and brought the dog out of her car. Betty smiled. The dog pulled Debbie to her mom. When she got close, she jumped up, and started licking her face.
"I think she likes you Mom!" Debbie said. She pulled out her cigarettes, and lit one up.
