"You know it is. It could've been bad for him", you interrupt your dealer when he's opening his mouth, "I know. Here I am buying top quality brownies. I'm a hypocrite. Judge me if you want"
"Not judging you. I'm pretty happy you recognize the quality of my shit"
"Nonetheless, finding your own path in life is difficult. Nowadays, with current politics and economy? Sober? It's a madman's journey. If he received a higher calling or accessed some hidden potential on his brain, good for him."
"More power for him"
"Can't disagree on that.", you think for an instant. "What about the sister?"
"Couldn't go to a date with her. She still mad"
"Dumbass", you laugh and he goes along. "By the way, man...", you look around as if something was missing, "That french girl from last year? You know, the french rapper girl who helped you with your business. I dig her tracks in Soundcloud and she brought good stuff for you..."
"I told you, man. She disappeared. I tried to contact her, but she doesn't answer. Not even her european number. Imma telling you: Immigration was at her foot and she went back to France or whatever"
"Shame"
"Yeah, she was nice. Anyhow. I guess you going to get..."
"All of these"
"Someone here got a bonus?", he teases you and shake his head again.
"I wish. I just got some spare money for fancy drugs every now and then", you handle him the money while you put your recently acquired brownies on your backpack.
"Call me when you get to 'then'. I'll be waiting. No rush", he winks.
A nice and enlighted conversation, but time urges and flies as high as these brownies. After some traffic and a crowded subway, you arrive at home and prepare yourself for dinner. Stephanie's article will have to wait until tomorrow. You check on Robert, Carie, Philipp and they seem fine for now. Philipp had some trouble on his side trying to find Nicholas, but you advised him on going slow or else it could warn the tenure and senior curator on what's waiting for them. Field research is better for now.
All dressed and swell. You look yourself one more time on the mirror. Something was missing. Some "jazz" on your look. You were minimaly appropriate for the punk rock bar called "Wise Fools Pub". Questioning your own reflection, what else you need for this ocasion?
