America 1982

Hugh Spade carefully hid a baseball bat at the door, stared outside through the peephole for more than ten seconds, then took a deep breath and slowly opened the door.

While it's unlikely that a high school student will be a gang member, it's always good to be just in case.

Dennis Herbs outside the door was wearing headphones and a small Walkman on his waist. He seemed to be swaying slightly to the loud music. When he saw the door open, Dennis took off his headphones and showed him a bright smile. Smiling, he put his arm on the door frame and showed a few bills held between his fingers: "Mr. Hugh Spade, I'll get the goods."

"You'd better get out of here now, there's nothing you need here." Hugh Spade said with a gloomy face.

The smile on Dennis's face suddenly froze, and he stared at Hugh Spade angrily: "Sir, I drove from Warwick to East Greenwich because I wanted my party to be more exciting tonight. Now you are saying there is no stock? He said on the phone that he had the goods, so I came over!"

"That guy obviously tricked you, go and settle the account with him!" After Hugh Spade finished speaking, he closed the door heavily and then breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could turn around, the doorbell rang again. Hugh Spade cursed lowly and opened the door. The dollar bill in the hand of Dennis Herbs outside the door had turned into fifty dollars. He said with an ugly face: "You win, I don't want to mess up my party, fifty yuan, sir! This is fifty yuan! I have worked hard and worked part-time for a long time to save a huge sum of money! I am willing to pay for my Party pays you! Give me the goods I ordered!”

"What's your name? Boy?" Hugh Spade looked at the bills and the high school boy in front of him and asked.

Dennis said: "Dennis Herbs, every high school in the state knows my name! The man of Lincoln High School! The future President of the United States! Sir, he is standing in front of you, asking you to sell him the goods!" Him, don’t mess up his party with a lot of hot girls!”

"Wow~" Hugh Spade was stunned for a moment, feeling that the name sounded familiar. After thinking for a few seconds, he pointed at Dennis and said, "You are the one who played paid adult programs in school classes, causing all schools in the state to Did you check the guy in your own TV classroom?”

"Yes, but my classmates prefer to call me, the liberal godfather of Lincoln High School. To celebrate my coronation, I carefully prepared a grand party." Dennis seemed quite surprised that Hugh Spade had heard his name. Surprised, he grinned.

Hugh Spade nodded, the vigilance in his eyes dissipated a lot, but he still said: "Go back, boy, there is nothing you want here."

"Okay, seventy dollars, the highest price I can give!" Seeing that Hugh Spade still refused, Dennis rummaged through his leather pants pocket impatiently, and some scattered banknotes fell out, which Dennis picked up. Collecting the others, leaving seventy dollars in his hand, he handed it to Hugh Spade.

"Looks like you're rich, kid," Hugh Spade said.

"Maybe there were before, but now they have all changed into this outfit. Do you see it? Walkman, a new product for 145 yuan, these Reebok air mattresses..." Dennis thought that the other party was going to continue to raise the price, so he said quickly .

"One hundred dollars, you pay me one hundred dollars, and I'll give the thing to you." Hugh Spade finally couldn't resist the temptation of banknotes and said.

He is not going to imitate Melonie and become a drug dealer, but it is not a bad thing if he can sell this batch of goods to this bad high school student at a high price. The worst thing is that he will never touch these things again. Fifty pills of Adelar, thirty pills A tablet of Quaalude, this amount of prescription drugs will not cause trouble at all. He was exposed to drugs in college and knew how to avoid trouble. As long as he never touches it again, even if it is reported this time, the police will not arrest him. At most Warning and put on the need to watch out list.

"One hundred dollars? Usually these things are the most... Sir, you are really good at business." Dennis irritably collected all the money he had, only ninety-six dollars and twenty-five cents, and handed it all to Hugh Spey. De, said with a depressed expression: "They are all here."

Hugh Spade took the banknotes, turned and walked back to the living room, picked up the medicines he had brought back from the table, and threw them to Dennis directly without allowing him to enter: "Take these things, then leave here, and don't come back again."

"You don't need to tell me, I won't patronize your business again!" Dennis checked the medicine, then cursed dejectedly at the door, then turned and left.

Hugh Spade closed the door, made sure through the peephole that Dennis had left, then walked to the living room window and looked out, watching Dennis get into an old muscle car and drive away, and then he was completely relieved.

…

It wasn't until the lights started to turn that Dennis drove back to the apartment rented by Tommy Hawke in Warwick. He said hello to Melonie, who had also just received psychological counseling and was taking off her coat when she came home. She opened the door to the bedroom with brisk steps. He opened the door and threw the fifty tablets of Adderal and thirty tablets of Quaaludes he bought from Hugh Spade on the small desk where Tommy was looking down at his homework:

"These cost a hundred yuan. Tommy, if you want this kind of goods, you should come to me. I can buy these medicines for forty yuan at most. I took a look at the guy. He is indeed a bit strong, but With Pam and a few guys from the hockey team, we can easily smash up the guy's car and beat him up to make Aunt Melonie angry without all the trouble."

Tommy Hawke stopped writing, tightened the cap of his pen, and curled his fingers at the Walkman on Dennis Herbers' waist.

Dennis said as he took off the Walkman: "Let me be clear, you said you would give this Walkman to me."

Tommy Hawke put on his headphones and pressed the play button, which contained the previous trade conversation between Hugh Spade and Dennis Herbers.

After listening, Tommy Hawke returned the Walkman to Dennis: "Not only is the Walkman, but the tape is also yours. What did you just say? You can buy these medicines for forty yuan? What about now?"

As he spoke, Tommy Hawke opened the drawer and took out the remaining one hundred and twenty pills of Adderall and fifty pills of Quaalude. They were piled together with the medicines Dennis brought back, like a hill on the table. .

Dennis Herbs was stunned for a moment with a dull expression: "What the hell!"

"Only a single illegal transaction of one hundred or more prescription drugs will trigger the Controlled Substances Act of our great America." Tommy Hawke raised his head and said to the shocked Dennis Herbers.

Dennis Herbers looked at Tommy in confusion: "What does that mean?"

"It means that if you bought one hundred and seventy pills of Adderal and eighty pills of Quaalude from that guy, and the police learned about it, not only the FDA (Federal Food and Drug Administration) would be on his radar. The DEA (U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration) will also be involved in the investigation." Tommy Hawke said to Dennis Herbers: "But just selling some prescription drugs to a high school kid is not enough to make him lose his job and ruin his reputation. .So we need one last spark.”

"What Starfire? Tommy, can you stop talking like my godfather and talk to me like a human being?" Dennis Herbs asked frantically.

Tommy Hawke pressed the pen against the hill of drugs, as if adding a piece of dry wood:

"Take these drugs to Holy Cross Private High School, inflame the parents of the students who spent a lot of money, and burn a heretic named Hugh Spade to death."
