“Yes?”

“What are you on?”

“I'm not quite sure. A science experiment, of sorts.”

“Why?”

“Stellar question. I'll get back to you on that.”

We don't say anything else until the car stops in front of Clare and Charisse's apartment. I look at Gomez in confusion.

“You need company,” he tells me gently. I don't disagree. Gomez lets us in the front door and we walk upstairs. Clare opens the door and when she sees me she looks upset, relieved, and amused, all at once.

Clare: I have talked Henry into getting into my bed, and Gomez and I are sitting in the living room drinking tea and eating peanut butter and kiwi jelly sandwiches.

“Learn to cook, woman,” intones Gomez. He sounds like Charleton Heston handing down the Ten Commandments.

“One of these days.” I stir sugar into my tea. “Thank you for going and getting him.”

“Anything for you, kitten.” He starts to roll a cigarette. Gomez is the only person I know who smokes during a meal. I refrain from commenting. He lights up. He looks at me, and I brace myself. “So, what was that little episode all about, hmm? Most of the people who go to Compassionate Pharmacopoeia are AIDS victims or cancer patients.”

“You know Ben?” I don't know why I'm surprised. Gomez knows everybody.

“I know of Ben. My mom used to go to Ben when she was having chemo.”

“Oh.” I review the situation, searching for things I can safely mention.

“Whatever Ben gave him really put him in the Slow Zone.”

“We're trying to find something that will help Henry stay in the present.”

“He seems a little too inanimate for daily use.”

“Yeah.” Maybe a lower dosage?

“Why are you doing this?”
