Chapter Eleven

Two days after witnessing the brutal rape of her own daughter, Sharina had shot up a week’s worth of products and was in need of a new fix. Actually, she hadn’t noticed that Halleigh was gone until she needed her services again.

She ranted and raved through the house, “Halleigh, where the hell are you?” tossing furniture over as if Halleigh was hiding under them.

In a fit, and with a monkey on her back, she tore the house up, searching under tossed pillows on the sofa, under the bed, and in the closets. She even groveled on the carpet with a straw when she thought she saw a white dash of powder. Unfortunately, it wasn’t crank (amphetamine) or crack, but a piece of lint.

“Where the hell is that heifer?” she grumbled, scratching an open sore on her arm. “She know I need her. Much as I done did for her, she better be glad I ain’t callin’ the law on her. If Flint PD wasn’t so crooked, I’d report her underage ass. But, hell, the damn cop would probably fuck her too before they even made it to the station.”

After what seemed like hours of destruction for Sharina, she had finally worn herself out. The last place she had searched was the bathroom, removing everything from under the sink and the medicine cabinets, and tearing down towels and washcloths from the racks that held them. Sweaty, funky, and exhausted, she slumped down the wall and onto the floor. She stared at the toilet across from her, feeling like a piece of shit, wanting to just dunk her head in and drown herself.

But all of a sudden, it was as if she was having an epiphany. Her eyes lit up as she crawled over to the toilet. She found a little bit of blow that she’d hidden from her friends a few weeks earlier in the bathroom commode. She’d forgotten all about it until now. “Thank you, God,” she cried out. “Thank you, Lord,” she added, giving God thanks for the devil’s work.

Elated at the discovery of the drugs, Sharina snorted some then shot up the rest. “I can quit any time I want,” she murmured to herself as her high settled throughout her body, “but I don’t wanna.” She smiled. “Shit feels too good.”

She slumped, and her eyes closed. “I’m gonna get high forever,” were the last words she spoke out loud. But the last words she thought were, And Halleigh’s going to help me to be able to do it.
