Chapter Four

I have a new dilemma – If I am being watched, what do I do if Reed tries to make contact with me? We will be busted for sure. How the hell do I work this one out?

Well, he hasn’t so far, and there’s no guarantee he will. Best to avoid thinking about that.

My mind drifts to Shaida, Bygone, Riyaard, and the others. What became of them? Did they perish when the bunker buster fell? They were part of my life for so long, I cannot help but grieve for them too. Poor Shaida, she loved Wyatt so much. I’m responsible for their deaths if they died that day. Guilt assuages me, and once again sleep evades me, giving me time to think, lament, wish, and even cry.

Finally, when my sleep debt reaches an alarming level, I hit the sleeping pills, hard.

When my body develops a resistance to the recommended dose and they no longer work, no problem – I just triple the dose. When waking up becomes a problem, I take uppers each morning. Then at night, it’s back to sleeping pills. The cycle continues, viciously, but it’s oh, so necessary.

I’m a druggie, but I don’t give a rat’s ass.

It’s been ninety days since I returned from Iraq. Ninety days with no Reed and no Wyatt. Reed’s forgotten about me. I know that for sure and it hurts.

The way I’m feeling, the hollowness I experience every waking moment, I’d do cocaine or speed or any shit that would numb me, take the edge off, turn me into a zombie. Oh, how I seek oblivion!

One thing I know for sure – I don’t want to die. See, when I’m well enough and able to lose Damien, I’m going back to Iraq to find my baby.

And Reed, if he still wants me.
