A RUSH; A RUSH It an illegal drug of a victimless crime.

White dust hard had crystal lime sometimes. It sold on the streets; they mixed it and fix it. He said it will feed and cure and you can survive. White collars, Models, blue collars, and homeless folks. But its not a joke. Heroin, Speed, Crack Cocaine, Marijuana. Its A Rush. Pushers, dealers are illegal or illegal. He who sells it is unbreakable, and callous. Brother or sister can you spare a dime. How much does it cost, they would say nothing But a trip you will go on, you can pay me later. She innocent, and so is her child. Runaways, panic and ganglands. PCP, and Angel Dust. Its A Rush. Is it for the fact that society doesnt care? It is the lack of realization of our nation. Violence, boulevard living, and deprived. Pills and sharing those pen nettles through their veins. He or she doesnt want to feel any pain. A Rush. Take, a look closely the neighbors. Possibly it is a friend.

REHAB
Take a quick look again, it maybe a sister, brother or a kin. We all make excuses when it is not us. Do they lack skills? Or simply they are lazy or crazy? Is it only when society speaks on assisting the homeless? Oh, when it is election time, and who need their votes. Why is this? Take time and care. Doing drugs are tricky, rubbish, and it carries no great weight. DONT DO DRUGS

CHAPTER

United States, from Los Angeles too California, and morning just arrivals at Western airport the terminals were full as well, and people were traveling all over the place. In the plane, he spoke briefly and then he explains, surely that he would be arriving at the airport, and he will be flying out of New York City. It was a huge city, he spent most of his career; and made lots of money. Leaving out of city the driver he makes a pickup. Fog-shrouded coastline and he stops at a little caf. He gets out of the car, and goes inside the small caf. Good-morning Sir, the petite lady replies.

REHAB
Good-morning, he replies back. Will you be ordering, something Sir? Not at the moment, and he seated him. He picks up this steep phone, and dials a number. For a split second, he spoke to someone on the other line. I have willed one of your best cups of coffee. One coffee coming up, she said. In a hurry he grabs the hot cup of coffee, and leave the lady a large tip, and after he leave out and gets back inside the limousine. She smiles, he must be in a bit of a hurry. Typical size house in the suburb, nice windows while the man drive up. There a family size car sitting in the parkway. He gets out of his car, and goes up the brick stairs. Small flowers, pots they sat nearby the windows, as if someone or somebody were taking care of them. He knocks, but there was no answer. The door was slightly left open. Quietly, he pushed the door open, and walks inside the foyer. Sitting facing the window, her glass of brandy was empty. She was vastly inebriated with alcohol. She didnt notice that an unfamiliar person was standing in her overlook room. Where in the hell have you been? You better, explain yourself and it better be good. This time is wasnt Lauren. Mrs. Wavier, Iona was her name on the report her daughter Lauren Wavier is dead, and her husband Maxim had left years ago, and it appears she had been, drinking like this since he left. Kindly he replies, evening madam.

REHAB
Drew, he decided last year that once he started college, he would lay off the weed. He was smoking weed and cigarettes heavily for about a year before he started, on crack cocaine. He was loaded with cash hanging out of his pocket. Hey, what it babe. Where the dust? Oh, hold on baby it is here. With the bag cocaine, he began teasing her. Fuck I needed this. Hold up babe, dont be gluttonous. Ass! Ass, you reply I can save all this for me. They both had a craving for sex and drugs. Finally, he pulled out a tiny coke spoon. She yanks, it out of his hand and began sniffing it with her nose. She was crazy for the stuff. They at once snort the dust. Choking, a bit she began slightly couching. Dammnit! Ah, damned this stuff is good, he replies. Soon, after that she left he walks down the hall, and Mickey was sneaking a smoke. Hey gives me a drag. Mickey did that_____________. It made him dizzy and I puked. In the desolate, he finally finds a spot. He jabs, and jabs, his dark skin about his arm. His clothes they werent clean, but he sat there on the side of the street. His accent was deep and you could barely grasp what, he was saying. The, writer he set, his recorder, and began to listen. He said everyone does it here. He ignores, the man.

REHAB
He was merely a kid, 19 years old, and his shoulders slumped as the drug course through his blood stream. He was, had addition with heroin. Concluded in the corner on the wall, the ripened crust and bone man cried out. "Hey, hey." Youre nothing but a laugh, a dry skin bone old man. He sat there watching Maxilla and, inn small can, he was burning. The day was breaking in, as the sun hides behind the moon, Helga sat watching as it moves across the sky. On the street, she pricks, at her tiny arms, and her legs were cover with bruises. The, nettle was pointed, and dirt free someone must had left it in the duct of the structure. Helga never let herself get close to anyone, every since her father had left them. And she didnt. By the time she reaches the age of 14, she was a runway, and begins to come into contact with street drugs. The thought of her begin hurt again__________________. Her mother this unspeakable lady a prostitute, nothing could stop her, not even Helga father. When she was a child, just about five years and she could think of the quarrel they had every night. Her father he couldnt take it anymore, pack his bags and left for good. The copious city growing up as a kid, and adult Helga had spend an large amount of her time, in and out of foster care, and she would build castles in the air, and she enjoyed bottomless make-believe playing with her dolls, stuffed animals, that the charitable people would bring the children. They never knew, what was in her mind and she would always have this unreal friend she would speak too.

REHAB
She was lying face down on the sidewalk; she had just given birth to addicted child. Dent of drugs and virus pass from her bloodstream through the placenta of the baby. Her life became meaningless. A heroin attic, she was drape in filthy blanket, and stink was coming from her clothing. The infant, lie there in the blanket he opens his mouth and searches for food. As the people were passing others like Helga came about and sat down with her passing pinneedles jabbing, their calluses ankles, and bruise arms, they were heroin addict. They lay in the back bare backing, the two gay-men. Thats all it was, a rush. Drugs kept her from feeling the pain when she was delivering the baby. Quite a few people stop, and then they threw pennies, quarters, and a few dollars, out on the filthy blanket, beside her while she sat up in a arch posture with her just starting out baby lay close by _________________. It was a miracle, he lives and she called him, Trusty. He took us to the address, down a dark alley and there were, people standing through doors, and shouting at one another. ... A car drives up, to the curve and stops, he just drops her off. His window was slightly down. Yelling back at the car, Figgie said, What am I supposed to do go on the street? That, life, then the guy his steep car he closes the door, and drove off. Damn you she replied. Ron spent a year on the street before he was arrested. Afterward, she found them, Cushy, and all three of them went on the street, to earn

REHAB
enough money to live. Its was on the street, and now everyone knows, it lists at $2500, and can be got about $1500 on the streets, and the payment for about $400. The streets were hot. Like always, they wrap their self in the, filthy blanket, for the cool night. Hes drunk strolling through and out the alleys of the street. Dozens of homeless people are gathered beneath a street lamp - some in wheelchairs, some drunk, standing nearby, each one of them you can even get inebriated by the odor from there shaggy clothing, which he wears. For him this was by far the best place for meeting people and it was so close to the liquor store. His dark brown eyes were always glazed over and sitting on dark circles. He sat right there talking to his drinking friend, he call cousin and I, I could a got his autograph on the wall, he said. Yap, man me to hes famous. The first thud was the dark blue sedan of a drunk driver jumping a curb as he had passed, along the street, but from the sidewalk side, and not the street. Sam was an alcoholic; he had been drinking for roughly 25 years. I believe that he had not drunk anything for more than 18 months until the last month. Many days, few watch him as his struggle through the homeless shelters. There he is feed, and clothed. There times, he even fine these outlandish hats and crowned head he wore them charitably. Far down the Westside of the street, were dwelling where few of the insider lived. Two patrol officers were patrolling the area close by, and were call up about 2:45 a.m. someone gets a call from a strange character. It was entirely, difficult to hear the radio,

REHAB
he had too adrift the radar, and there was static on the line. You could just about hear the cries, and screaming for help in the background neighborhood. Come in officers, he replies. Mace, heard, the call and he taking a chance to go alone. Mace, copy. Roger, copy! The; the man. I cant hear you a damn thing. A homicide was in the city. The radio again lost it tone, and die out. The next he turns into the road, down the dark alley. He spotted a couple of warm bodies, they were lying there. Homeless people and know where to go. Slowly, he passes through the main road. He kept on going, and he looks back. Oh, here it is. Roughly, there were eight dwelling. It must be this one, he replies. Swiftly, someone run out of the door, heading down the shadowy alley. The flap was wide opens. Hello, he replies, but there was no movement. With observation, he goes inside. He walks in. Damn, he replies. What a fucking mess!

REHAB
Blood was just about the hold place. He tripped over a trail of blood. A man he was lying, with gunshots in his body. He goes over to check if he was breathing. It was too late. What the fuck? Speedily, he pulls his radio out, and phone the station. This is Mace, I need backup. Hey Sergeant Smithy, youre sure as hell better get yourselves, and over here. Within a short, hour they arrived. A blade or a jagged object must have travel through the man neck; bullet holes were embedded in his body, and scratcher just about the room. As horrifying as it looks, it is effectively bloody. Look like he was on crack. It was still smoking, on the burner. It an illegal drug of a victimless crime. White dust hard had crystal lime lying on the table. Hey, this shit it sold on the streets; they mixed it and fix it. Could it be one of Raggers boys? Well we check him out last week, shit man they say hes clean. Sure as hell hes clean. The fucking, guy got lots of heavy money, selling the shit. These white collar workers, like this bitch here, and you can tell buy the suit he wearing they shell out lots of hard cash. The man was stiff as a door knob and look as if he had been here for a few hours, it will be daylight. He just lost one his best real agent. The guy was smart, graduated with honor right through college from the West Coast. In six months, he made it to the top. At a fast

pace he was making money faster than few of the old timer. He was working longer hours staying awake. How could the kid do it? They gave him a nickname, and started calling him, Speedily West. Mr. Howard knew it was coming. The kids, was taken some sort of prescription drugs, for an injury he had a couple years ago. Back trouble he calls it. The iron gates open into a lavish, rolling estate, at the center of which stands an exquisite water fountain. Facing the manor the limousine pulls up portray as extravagant it was black and sparkly. Next the driver pulls the car into the driveway and opens then the doors opened. A tailored dress man with pale skin, steps out of the car, his hair was full; sort gray_____________________. It is father. He walks over and replies, evening son. Hi, father. Where in the hell have you been? You better, explain yourself, and it better be good. Father cut out the bullshit. Son, you think you can go through life flunk out all the time. Angus blasted out anything to infuriate him. Oh, fuck you dad. With a burst of laughter he leaves out of the room. His father just, gotten back from a business trip, he was getting older, and There after he would plea to God, the hopefulness of his son. Thought-out the estate, Angus he kept, his horrible outrage, and stayed out of sight.

He was six feet, and six inches tall, and weighs about 195 pounds very muscular. Lots of college students, and various managers and other executives level people who wore those white collars and a few blue collars shirts seek him out.

He prayed that God would release him from his addictions, and as the days went on, Dar, thought all his cravings had gone, even for crack cocaine. The terminal announces, another flight, Flight 978 and 981 will be departing, in one minute to Britain, United Kingdom. Please check in your baggage, as soon as possible. Thank you and have a safe flight. He gets inside his expensive rental car, and drove off. In the sallow, mist in the morning Salina, could spot suburban whites cruising downtown in Limousine and fine cars, asking maybe a black person, Hey you got drugs? And its the same everywhere, black go into white neighbors, asking every white person they see, Hey, man you got drug? He didnt have to work, and here in the city you could go out on the street sell you about $500 dollars for two hours, and you finished for the day. Two more blocks. At last Salina he made it to the subway without any trouble. People look weird early in the morning, you cant tell if they are all nighters, sleepy or on drugs.

It was football season, and everybody was out parting for the weekend. Justin was out with a few friends, that night. Hey, stops the car. Stop the car. Yes, I believe I am going to barf! What one of the guys asks? For real man I have to barf. Right now he replies. Yes! With one of his hands he clutches his mouth and clench tightly to the handle of the car. Without warning tries to opens the door. At full tilt, the guy that was driving he pulls the car to the side of the road. He opens the door, and get out of the car. In a hurry he runs over to the grass and he bends over, and he begins vomiting. Gone for the hold weekend and it was Monday morning, he felt like shit, he would duck classes, at the private College it is usually full of upper-class types. He felt exhausted, from late night, the effect of the drinking, and drugs. Within seconds, a carrier brought him some, dinner and a deliver package. He paid the carrier. Lauren had and wayward addiction, not anything could stop her craving. He pulled out a small coke spoon, and laid the cocaine on the table. Ragger all of a sudden pulls her closer, and then she sat on the couch.

REHAB
Lauren grabs hold of the spoon and quickly started snorted the dust. She began couching, and sniffing her nose. Damn! Ah, damned this stuff is high-quality. Fuck I needed this. Hold on dont be greedy. After that she was blissfully high. She kisses Ragger about his neck, while he snorted a tiny spoon full. It was working, the stuff, and she laid herself back onto the snug chaise longue. She was sexy, in her little, black cocktail dress___________________. She was so ecstatically far above the ground from the coke. And began undressing her, and it was easy, since she wasnt wearing very little. At that instant, he started taking advantage of her weakness. She in fact did not care. At that split second and he continued to pull her panties until he had them off. He threw them to the floor, and gradually he begins kissing her neck down to her breast then below her belly button. She could not defy the lure of Ragger. Yes he is incredibly sexy and appealing. His ebullient sex drive and the superior his anatomy made him more desirable. He whisper in Lauren ear, where is your friend. He step inside, clothing of a guy were lying on the floor, and her shoes was leaving to the bedroom, he walks directly to his room, saying it's the only way _______________________

So, the sleuth is here, quietly he slips out of the door. Unbelievable, she slept with Ragger? Both were nestled in each other arms seeping like a charm. He and Williamsburg they both were expert player, and travel roughly the world. This meant lots of hard work. They put all their energy into the game, continuing to train others, and converting half of the team, learning to train his self to build strength, and skills. The game seems too lured him in, and football was now part of his world, for right now. At present the red and blue teams, where on the field, even though due to new changes, when the ball goes out of play, then the whistle is blown, the clock it stops, and after that it restarts when the umpire calls 'Play'. Quickly, at the end of each period, the bell goes off, and it signifies that their seven minutes are up. Williamsburg had thirty seconds of play unless the whistle is blown, the ball hits the boards, and the ball goes out of play again. What is wrong with that chap? At the goalposts Dias he widened his stand from the other player, and Justin had three minutes between, except the other team merely has five minutes at half time to hit the ball, and it was good. Within second the whistle is blow again, sound, the penalty be voided, and the ball should be bowled in. The whistle sounds and a foul has been called and, as just team #7 hit. That was a good call, the Umpire and says. The penalty he passes, after surrendering two late goals in the first half, the red team had taken control in the second half of the

REHAB
game when Dias scores his first goals in forty-five minutes. Seem how, playing this way was working the Umpire. Dias at this time, cope to pull away from about eight yards, and Justin sprints sliding the field with the team, and other team tackles a few before he gotten to the goal, the blue team ball was block, no goal the Umpire calls. The whistle sounds against six yard was added extra point for the other team. Bad play Justin. Half time was call. They all left the field. He told Carl he felt dizzy, in the locker room his heart started to beat faster and his legs were powerless. He goes inside the bathroom to wash his face and hands. Glancing at his face, it was flush red; it was in fame, and he began splashing a bit of water on his face, except it did not help any. He finally left out, to the ball field. He began to start see things, that wasnt there___________________. Over to the left was the team, the coach and everyone were gathering in a circle in the field, and if he makes it he is good. The announcer gone off, Rambling College was in the lead, and has thirty-two points, and Massey College was holding back, but coming strong with only twenty-nine points. He was lying there and his eyes wide apart and then they open. The game was over, they lost. Standing above him, was a doctor and Coach Dell, and another Coach standing above him. Yes, rehab, he was on his way out the door, and into the car. To himself he asks as the driver drove down the city street. Does it really work and can it be very helpful for those who struggle with addiction.

The doctors and the professor reply, before he left out, that counseling gathering which is efficient therapy will help a person. He scuffle various injuries, and relapses his GPA, scores gone from a 4.35., to 1.34 right through the season. I am going to pass out, Mickey replies. He was unable to endure the effects of his heavy drinking; he began down the stairs and fell at the bottom. He was just about leaving, and he passes by a couple of friends, they were sitting and drinking beers. Hey, Dais yells. Have a drink on us. A waiter, cute but sort on the hefty size, she was bringing at least twelve more beers to the table, and they were really bashed. Come on and drink with us. Sure man! His breath was unspeakable and he smelt as he had been drinking for more than that night. It was Washington, plus, she loves playing with guy affection. He grabs hold of her again, and pressing his face closes to hers. Kiss me he replies. "No, no!" "Stop it I said!" Ha, ha, he was out of control laughing. "Stop it!"

37

REHAB
"Stop it!" She tires too free herself from him. Get, out! Get out I said! You are beside yourself. She slaps his face. What the hell you did that for? Oh, course she didnt desire Washington to know that drew was banging her. Someone passes by the room. Hey you dingbat! You dam fool leave her alone. In a hurry grabs, she her purse and leaves out of the room. Outside, Lauren was waited for Drew. What taken you so long baby? Give me the keys, and I will drive us home. No, dense I can drive youre too drunk. Give me the keys, I said. Yet she runs, and beat him to the car. She was all work up and a bit upset with Washington. She gets inside, and Drew got in on the other side of the car. Speedily Lauren and Drew got inside his two seated sports car, and drove down the lighted city. Left turn she drove east off the boulder nearby the ocean. She pulls to the gravel, and close near, the water. They both get out of the car. At last they were alone, but blissful high, from the drugs. He threw them to the ground, on the sandy beach, and gradually he begins kissing her neck down to her breast then below her belly button. Drew was awfully sexy and attractive, just about the entire college girl desire him. His ebullient sex drive and the larger his anatomy made him more desirable. In her ear he whisper, you care for some more coke?

38

REHAB
Yes! She glazes at his body while her hair hung in his face. He gave her another snip of dust. Her aim was to seduce him, and she did just that. She was exhausted, and they stopped. He had taken her to her edge. He stops, and they laid there. It began to get foggy and a tit-bit cold out. Dam, she replies I told my mother I would be home early, since I had promise her that I would call my father. Let go she replies. Drew and Lauren get back inside the car. She turns the car not far off from the main road. The briskly wind was blowing inside the car, and after that Drew rolls out a cigarette to smoke. It seem as they were going faster than ever, she gone straight through several traffic lights without stopping. Hey, he yells, shit you going to hit something. Shit, man slow down. The music was so loud; she didnt even hear what he was saying. Without, warning a truck pull right out in front of the car. Crossing the street on their bike was a man, seem as he was delivering something. The car skidded off the road and barely missed hitting the building. The force practically threw Drew out of the car. A nurse she walks in, the cold room. Hey, your eyes are opened. She walks closer to the bed, and said. You almost didnt make it. You have been here for two week, as she checks his monitor hanging beside his bed. He did, remember a thing, and all he could think of that, he saw something in the core of the street a man was crossing over to the other side on his bike.

39

REHAB
Truthfully, he doesnt recall them hitting the man as he lay up in Cenotaph Hospital. Somewhat he was lucky, and he did lose one of his feet, but his leg was healing fast and a few bruises, was just about his face. Lauren didnt make it, but surely he will find out later, this wasnt a good time to tell him. I asked her if this is what she wanted to do because after becoming paralyzed and then spending two months in rehab.

They, had practice and Pastiche, was studying to be a doctor, and after his father stroke he knew instantly what was wrong with him. He knew Alex had runners high, and he was releasing this sort of substance called endorphins in his body. At last they were at the Chapel. Her memorial service starts at 11:00 am; Damask Methodist Church. The twofold doors were open. Hello, Father, good to see you. Countless, car, and people were standing amongst, the exquisite steps. A few of her relatives, and close friends were spreading white carnations placing them on the top, and beside the coffin. They all gazed on the coffin enshrouding his shell, and the loved one they honored eulogized well_____________________. People go over to the priest and shook his hand. Even so you can tell they didnt get alone Lauren mother was escorted by her father his head held downward to the floor, he brushed at his eyes and sniffed as discreetly, but she was weeping like a dripping tap, and tightly she clutches too his suit coat. Angelica was coming slowly out on Dias arm. Next it was Washington and Justin coming down the carpet. Before long, everyone was weeping. Obviously, it is all right to weep at a bit so tragic. In her coffin she lay there in a stunningly dress, like a falling sallow guardian angel that couldnt get up anymore. The warmth of their hands as the touches her, and they were a comfort to hold.

During though few hours, the chapel was full, of relatives, guests, and her list included lot of people, and friends were attending and they were offering brief word of support to her mother and family. Drew removes himself from the wheel chair and he sat side by side with the others, and shared in the love for Lauren death. Aspens, her best friend felt the layers of grief, and you could see and feel the tense in Drews eyes, waiting for the program to be over. I'm so sorry. Drew gulped, swallowed his tears. But, it wasnt his fault; she had the problem long before he met up with her. Poor Drew, Sandy jagged said and shook her head. Dias he sat in chapel with his face in his hands. They both had gets inside the car. Are you ready son? Yes, Justin replies. Surely, it want take long, but the ride will do you some good. At once the drive he drove off. Marcus looks outside the window staring at nothing while the car was moving. All you could hear was, the radio playing as the driver, drove down the stretch highway. Justin glazes out the window. Why me? Why me? His doctors had retained information, throughout the years; a good number of the patients had left the clinical and living a normal life.

Prevail in face of them was thickset block building, and it seemed as it had hundreds of rooms. With in seconds the driver he pulls up in front of the huge building. A man with a suit comes out and opens the door. Good-afternoon Sir, he replies. Justin gets out of the car. Scarcely, not a soul was inside the huge lobby, and spread, roughly near sizeable, pictures, a few plants and it was so silence, and you could barely hear a thing. The flooring was a blue-gray tile. Unexpectedly, a young guy he moves his wheel chair to a hallway, and sat there staring. Out of know where. What in the hell are you here for? Do you recall youre not my friend? No, damn it! Joker this, Joker that, and why in the hell should I know him. Get out! Get out! He was angry and mad. Get out! He shouted loudly. He was going mad, and Marcus did not know what to say to him. You Fool! Shortly after, the doctor and nurse tried to calm Uncle Chester down, but somehow that did not work either__________________________. Yelling and shouting he was about to leap from his wheel chair. A mental strain was in his voice; he was sounding crazy, and repeating these outlandish expressions.

At last, a counselor comes to meet him. Down the hallway, they went inside the counselor office. A nurse comes into the huge room. Leave the boy alone Janet stood there, you are hurting his feeling. Oh, shut up you dam fool you call them feeling. I have never seemed this kid. Furiously, he pushes Janet to the side and unpredictably he grabs her by her hair. Forcefully, he grips a hand full of her hair, and then he would not let go. Silently, Justin stood their almost paralyzed; he felt so_________ shocking seeing his. Nothing they could do to retrain him. At last, they had to give him an injection. As he squirms in his wheelchair, the medication was calming him down somewhat. It appears, to be making him drowsy. Right away the doctor releases his hands from the tension of one of the nurses hair. Down the long cold, and stillness hallway, she glances at the red bruises, and immediately the nurse aids her. At last, she was out of harm's, and she fell off to sleep weeping, facing nightfall in tears. Two individuals discuss the difficulties of overcoming drug addiction. ... As for Joyce, her release from substance bondage began after her "got tired. ... Medication did not work, she need additional care.

All at once the traffic light changed from red to green and the other drivers on both sides of Hellene, and Ron car pulled quickly forward. The nurse she lifted the screen, and Trusty had awakened. He glances over in her direction, which was a great sign, he was showing improvement. Staring at an object in the room, she coaxed him to crawl out into the glass. There you are. You, re going to have parents, and they love you. Heroin was once considered the drug of choice for poor, inner-city people, when ... It would always told that additives might not dissolve in the body and can clog vital blood vessels if it is use for a quiet sometime of their lives. Two old bag men wandered slowly down the street. Angel dust was getting to be a quite problem in the city. He was hot still on the street his people, and Ragger revenue sky rocket, and he played a tough game. One ask politely, for some worked that he could be paid by food. He sits in his car, paid for watching the people. They, say next years bazillion-dollar budget should make things even worse.
