Chapter 44

Max opened a jar and filled a pipe, lit it himself and inhaled a big lungful before he passed it to Cam. She immediately smelled the aroma of marijuana.

She gave him a surprised look as she inhaled and kept it in her lungs for a few moments. When she finally exhaled it, she smiled at him. “Oh yes!” she exclaimed. “That’s some fine tobacco.” They both laughed.

“The first bowl is free,” he said, smiling at her. “But now you know where you can get more. I grow it myself in the back room, so there’re no other chemicals in it. It’s one hundred percent pure.”

“Wow,” Cam said. “It’s very, very nice. Thanks.” She inhaled a second time.

Max started straightening up the stacks of tobacco packages on the shelves around the room.

“There are all sorts of things around here, if you look for them. Did you get what you needed from Preston?”

Am nodded. “Some coke and a little meth. That’s all I usually do.”

A buzzer rang.
