BLADE/JASON

The sun is rising as Axel, Ryder, Edge, and I pull up to the house. It’s almost startling how quiet and calm it is at 5:00 a.m. All the crap that is strewn around the front yard takes a back burner to the sunrise. Orange, yellow, purple, even blue grace the sky and it seems surreal that less than three hours ago, I was slicing up the fingers on Darrel’s right hand. I should have done more, but I didn’t want it to be completely obvious that Eve has become my full-blown obsession. I only sliced off the tips to remind him never to touch what belongs to me again. This is what happens when you get too big. The worst people who walk the earth start sniffing around. Unfortunately, they get power and money because they have nothing to lose. When you are raised with absolutely nothing, you learn real quick how to survive.

Since the lab is down, everyone is coming out of the woodwork. I take a drag of my cigarette and continue to watch the sunrise. The light yellow ball slowly rises over the trees. I’m ashamed that it’s been years since I actually enjoyed a sunrise.

“I’m going to bed,” Ryder grumbles as he passes, boots crunching on the gravel.

Edge looks at us, sighs, and starts toward the Tahoe. “I have something that needs my attention. I’ll be back in a few hours.”

“Kiss Dolly low for us.” Axel chuckles as Edge slams the Tahoe’s door and puts it in reverse to maneuver around us.

I inhale and close my eyes. The adrenaline is wearing off and I’m exhausted.

“Prez? How do you want to proceed? This shit that happened tonight is going to continue.”

Blinking, I drop my cigarette and snuff it out with my boot. “I know. I’m sick of it, Axel. All this shit that comes with drugs is getting old, man.”

Axel’s blue eyes are alert. “We need to get out of dealing. All of us have lost the passion for it.”

I sniff the cool morning air. “It’s not that simple and you know it.”

He reaches into his pants pocket and pulls out a joint. Lighting it, he inhales and says, “You think the Feds got to Doc?”

I take the joint from his hand and inhale deeply. “Probably. Either that or they got to Sandy.”

He sighs and takes the joint back, raising his hands as if he’s stretching. “We’re getting too rich and old to go to jail.”

I grunt and let the mellowness take over my tense muscles. “I need to talk to Dimitri. If he wants to continue getting anything from us, he needs to get his crew under control.”

As the sun spreads her morning shadows, Axel’s eyes seem almost black. He nods. “Blade… one more thing.” He takes a deep inhale, squints at me, and releases his smoke. “I don’t sugarcoat things, don’t know how to.”

The hair on the back of my neck stands up. “What?” I say, my throat tight.

“Eve was sick tonight.” He doesn’t look at me but stares out at the horizon.
