Chapter 3
Jed walked into another room, grabbed a large bag and emptied it on the table. Little packages of pills and powders were spread out.
"This is heroine and it's the most expensive. Then comes cocaine and after that XTC and cannabis. That's all we got." Jed pointed at the packages. "You have to try them all just once, to know the effects. Take your time. Now inhale.", Jed demanded, while he held a stroke of heroine in front of him.
Kyle took a deep breath and inhaled. After a short time Kyle began to feel very drowsy and he started to hallucinate. At first he felt wonderful, seeing all these merry things and happiness, yet later he saw his murdered parents. They were speaking to him.
"Why?", his mother called out. "Why didn't you come to save us?"
Kyle wanted to say something, but an awful high shriek came out of his throat. He cried, but Jed ignored him.
As soon as Kyle was okay again, he spoke softly. "I guess you had a bad trip. It depends on what mood you're in. If you're scared or angry, it will increase those feelings."
Kyle nodded. He knew he had to try them, but he was scared, scared of seeing his parents again. His mother's voice was still echoing inside his head.
"How old are you now?", Jed asked.
"Sixteen, why do you ask?", Kyle replied surprised.
"Then you'll get a car. You may ask whatever you want. I've got a sportscar."
"Can I even get a Ferrari or a Lamborghini?"
"Yup! Do you want one of those?"
"Yeah, I'd love to.", Kyle said happily.
"Well, you'll have it by tomorrow and I'll teach you how to drive. I'll show you some fighting techniques as well, but let's have dinner first. Tell your sister to put this on." Jed held a beautiful box with blue ribbons before Kyle. "It'll look beautiful on her."
Kyle picked Sheila up at a church and gave her the present. "Jed gave you this."
Sheila didn't know how to react, but she tore the ribbons off with trembling hands. A pretty red dress laid before her with shoes in her size.
"I...... I can't take this.", she stuttered.
Kyle shook her hard. "Jed helped us. Do him a favor and wear it with pride. He wanted you to have this. He must like you, to give you such a present.
Sheila couldn't help blushing and said: "Let's go to Jed's place, so I can get dressed."
They arrived at his place and Sheila went upstairs. When the guys were becoming impatient and started calling her, she came down the stairs.
Kyle and Jed were talking. "You can't live on the streets. I'll buy you a house. You can pay me back later, so tomorrow we'll.....WOW!" Jed suddenly swallowed hard and looked up at the girl coming down the stairs. His eyes almost fell out when he gave her a hand.
" I want to thank you for the dress.", Sheila said, while she moved her hand through her hair nervously.
"You don't have to thank me. It looks better on you than on me.", Jed grinned.
Sheila laughed. "Let's go."
They had dinner in a chique restaurant and Sheila didn't know how to behave. #I'm not used to this#, she thought.
Jed saw she was troubled with it. "Do you want to dance?". Jed bowed before her and took her hand.
"I don't know what I'm doing here. I don't know what to do...", she whispered desperately.
"I know you don't, but just relax. It's important to be yourself, okay?", he laid his cheek against hers and they danced.
When the song was over, Sheila smiled thankfully. "Thank you.. for everything. I really like you."
"I hoped you did. I'll get you two a house.... with everything in it." Jed grinned.
"Hmmm.... even a swimming pool?", she asked.
"Even a swimming pool..", he promised.
