—He took me down an alley off a little street called Madison. You can get in through the back doors of a couple abandos there. So no one else is around now, and Dock starts talking about what he’s got, starts telling me it’s the purest stuff I’ll ever shoot. Asks me how much I want, what I have to spend. Tells me he’s the doctor, he’ll shoot me up if I pay him for it. That’s all right, I say.

He looks at me kind of hard. Says, You sure? You can do it inside here if you want.

I’m getting nervous at this point, thinking about ways out. Thinking he knows I’m a cop. When I was on Vice, I’d have a backup team, I’d be wired, I’d have an exit plan.

I’m good, I say.

So I give him some money and he takes it. Tells me to wait there. You’re not gonna run off with that, right? I say to him.

Nah, he tells me. I’d be out of business in a minute if I did that. So he goes inside, pushes aside a piece of plywood that’s covering the door and disappears.
