The cooking equipment recently installed in the embalming/cremation room barely leaves enough space for our funeral services. But the stuff is state-of-the-art, or so Sean insists. You know what’s entirely convenient? Just like Sean promised, there was no need to hire additional staff to cook the new drug concoction Sean and my lovely wife came up with.

Smirking Jack and Tall Jay can handle the process pretty easily by mixing together several forty-pound bags that are identified only by the chemical composition codes attached to them. What’s even more convenient? The chemicals are readily available at chemical stores across the country that cater to drug manufacturers, hospitals, colleges, university laboratories, research programs, dentistry suppliers and offices, and yes, even funeral parlors like the new and improved Fitzgerald Funeral home, where wakes are no longer required to be a deadly sad affair.

So, what’s the new product that already seems to be taking the country by storm? Or at least, the Northeast portion of what was once Juan Perez’s territory? It’s not a pill. It’s not a powder. It’s not even an ice cube-like, translucent chunk of blue crystal. It is instead an aerosol spray that can be ingested by either inhaling it with a common vape device like all the spoiled kids use to smoke inside the Starbucks, or by...get this...using an aerosol device that sort of looks like a black mace can, to spray it on your face. But vaping the drug has turned out to be by far, the most popular of choices since customers can use the stuff in plain sight.

I repeat. Unlike most illicit mind-altering substances that not only mess up your brain, but also your work, your health, your relationships with family and friends, and in general, your life, our product can be used right out in the open. The product even has a sweet aroma to it, reminiscent of Bubble Gum. Thus, the name, Bubble Gum. That’s what Joanne insisted on calling it. Naturally, Sean loved the idea (since it was my wife’s idea), and even Don Juan Perez liked the idea.

“It all sounds so innocent when you think about it,” he says in his smooth Latin accent from behind a mammoth mahogany wood desk he transported from his giant hacienda outside Mexico City along with the many hunting trophies mounted to the mahogany walls. Or so he is quick to tell Sean, me, and Joanne during our initial face to face with him (Carcov is aware of the meeting but apparently, he never shows his face in public. Not even Sean knows what he looks like).

Perez sits up straight in his leather swivel chair, plants his elbows on the desk and clasps his hands together at the knuckles. He’s wearing an expensive silk shirt that’s unbuttoned enough to show off his weight trained pecs and a silver cross that rests in between them. A 9mm Glock sits on the desk beside an open laptop computer. Our guns were checked at the door when we were frisked upon entering by a very massive Mexican man who’s tattooed from head to toe.
