She was feeling down and Henry couldn’t help but notice. He rubbed her back and mumbled consolatory sentiments. They had just gotten high. MTV’s The Real World was just about to start. All should be right with the world. Even heroin, her crutch, her rock, failed to fully bolster her up. Ashley felt like doing nothing but crying ad nausem.

“Heather is smart, Ash. She’ll be back around soon.” The look in his eyes didn’t do much in the way of convincing.

“You know something is wrong here.”

Henry sighed loudly. Defeat. “But what can we do but hope for the best?”

Fire eclipsed the doldrums. “Try and find her! It’s the cook! I know it’s him.”

“You said he seemed okay. You told me he asked you if you were all right, remember?”

“That doesn’t mean anything. He was probably worried about getting caught.”

Henry stared off.

“You know I’m right, Henry. Maybe not about the cook, but about something being wrong. We haven’t seen her or heard from her or anything. Are we supposed to just wait around forever? When are we supposed to take action?”

“I don’t know.”

They sat in silence for a few moments. Finally Henry let out another large sigh and then coalesced, “Okay. We can go and talk to this guy… but that’s it. No police, no parents or associates that might get the police involved. This guy may even–”

Ashley felt a million times better, as if the clouds inside were breaking and the sun returning. She cut him off, hugging him, thanking him for understanding.

Henry recovered from the affection and continued, “This guy, the cook, might bring in the cops himself.”

“He won’t. We’ll be cool.”

More intense silence until Henry spilled a few more thoughts. “What if he is responsible for her disappearance? What are we going to do about it? We can’t turn him in without being investigated ourselves. I guess we could leave an anonymous tip or something.”

Ashley stared Henry in the eyes. “Or we could kill the fucker.” The words came easy.

“Kill him?” Henry looked at her like she was loony.

“I’m dead serious. If we find out that he has hurt Heather in any way, if we find that he killed her or did something sick, fuck turning him in, we’re going to make him pay.”
