Chapter Fifteen

The Sardana brothers were big on keeping me clean. Avi filled the big bathtub, which took forever, and told me to relax in it until the water got cold. He gave me a remote inside a waterproof bag, and when I pressed the power button, I expected something to happen to the water, but a TV came down right out of the ceiling.

“Holy shit!”

Avi laughed and clapped me on the back.

“Enjoy, kid. See you in a while,” he said, and left the room.

I stripped down and stepped in. The water was extremely hot, and I winced until my legs got used to it, then sat very carefully, not wanting to scorch my junk. There were a ton of channels. I could have swam around in the tub if I’d known how. I tried to float, remembering doing that when I was really little, and eventually pulled it off while I watched cartoons.

By the time the water started to cool, I’d scrubbed myself and had been in the water for an hour and a half. My whole body was still sore, but the heat had helped while it lasted.

Out in the bedroom, I got dressed. The sun was setting outside the window, and I was starting to feel the stress of the day in a way that told me it was time to dance.

But I had to call Doc, and still wanted to talk to Nando. I reached into the side pocket of my pack for the phone, then the other side. It wasn’t there. I sucked in a breath, already knowing what happened to it, but I searched all over the pack anyway. The tablet was gone too.

And my train and bus tickets had been stolen along with them.

“Fuck!” I yelled, and threw the pack onto the bed. My toothbrush and toothpaste fell out, and I didn’t care. “Fucking fuck!”

I was in trouble. I had to get to a phone. But no, it wouldn’t make any difference. I didn’t have the doc’s number memorized.

Why in the hell had he sent me to this place? Had he known what they would do? I should have listened to Spitz.

I ran to the dirty clothes in the bathroom and felt around in the jeans pockets. My chest relaxed when I found the money Avi had given me. All I had to do was get the hell out of the building.

But I needed my drug soon. I would die on the train without it. I hurried back to my pack but knew I wouldn’t find the bottle of pills. It was gone. They were trying to trap me.

Thank god they had forgotten about the money. At least I had that. I put it in my pocket. London had said fielders had to stay in Harlem, so I had to escape the tower and figure out where that was by asking people on the street. After stuffing everything I had in my pack, I went to the door and turned the doorknob slowly. My boots were heavy, but the floor was carpeted.
