Morning came, yet did little to erase the darkness in its early rising. The tall, orange lights surrounding the backside of the grocery store gave the wet pavement an eerie tint, as if it had been veiled in evil from every descending shaft of the light’s glow. Ivan slowed to a stop and parked his truck against the windowless backside of the building just as he finished giving Drake his directions. “I want you to do this right, understand? You ain’t got no second chance, so make it sound real.”

“I hope this works,” Drake said.

“You do what I told you and it will.”

Drake glanced around the building skeptically. “How do you know there aren’t any cameras?”

Ivan chuckled and killed the engine. “Man, we been doin’ drug deals for years behind this building and never got caught yet. Why? You ready to bail out already?”

“Hardly,” Drake retorted, hating it when people laughed at him. “Just give me the money and point me in the right direction.” He snatched the quarters from Ivan and kept them clutched tightly in his fist as he stepped out of Ivan’s truck and made his way up to the pay-phone. The air chilled him, but he knew his fear was to blame for most of the goose bumps on his skin. Forget about it. You want revenge, don’t you? Did he ever.

Drake slid the coins in the machine and, with a trembling hand, punched in Andrew’s number.

It rang twice before it was picked up. Those two rings felt like an eternity.

“Hello?” Andrew said tiredly.

Drake’s voice was weak and raspy as he said, “Mr. Andrew? Is that you?”

“Drake! Where are you? I’ve been looking all over for—”

“Please hurry. I was beat up real bad and my…my head’s bleeding a lot. You have to come.”

“I will, Drake! I will! But where are you?”

“They dragged me behind a grocery store after they mugged me, and—”

“Grocery store?” Andrew said hastily. “Which one?”

“I don’t know…beside a Blockbuster, I think. Please, you have to come quickly. I…I don’t think I can hold out much longer. I feel so…” Drake let the phone fall from his hand and hang there.

Revenge was so sweet.
