>>5981072You walk towards the house, looking back only once at Jesse's rapidly disappearing car. A pit forms in your stomach; you can't help but feel guilty that you didn't confront him. Your conscience is lightened again by the thought that you're not snitching on him, at the very least, but it's heavied again with guilt that you aren't telling Hank what you saw.
"Enjoy a nice trip to lockup, Mr. Koyama." You hear Hank laugh as he leads Emilio to the squad car nearby. Emilio sees you as he gets in, and you can't help but gulp. You really hope that Jesse seeing you and not getting caught would give him a second chance opportunity to not get into the world of methamphetiamine again, but knowing addicts, he's bound to relapse into it again. You sigh as you enter the house.

The stench inside is awful. The source of it seems to be an amalgam of the scents coming from various open containers and the piles of junk lining the counters, tables, and floor. Hank hands you a mask, one alike the ones you have in the science department at J.P. Wynne. You put it on and walk around. As you survey the wreckage, you can't help but instantly get into a chemistry headspace. You notice the flares that have been pulled apart and the matches, their tips rubbed clean of their iconic red color. You grimace. These two could stand to learn a lot more about chemistry. Red phosphorus, a vital ingredient in the production of methamphetamine, <span class="mu-i">is</span> present in those flares, but not so much for the matches. They're most commonly found on the striking strips on the boxes. Jesse and Emilio were needlessly tainting their product with a ton of potassium chlorate and other materials. Amateurs. Well, amateurs at chemistry at least. You've never actually made any meth. And why would you? You're... you're no criminal.

But, man. You can't help but look at the state of the lab in disdain. If you had these kinds of resources, you could do the same thing they do but exponentially better. In fact, if the DEA weren't around and you really wanted to, you could actually recover a lot of the ingredients here. A lot of the lithium strips they have are untouched, the filtration system they have could easily be improved, and you would absolutely not use a single bit of chili powder. Your brain is kicked into overdrive, seeing beyond the chaos and leveraging the situation in your favor. You turn to the operatives carrying bag after bag filled with hundred-dollar bills. The money you could make? Well, it could pay for so many bills, so many fees... cancer treatment...
