Chapter 3
Something Does Not Add Up
Maybe Britney was right? Will’s mind dwelled on his inconsiderate actions. He should have asked her if she was alright after the crash. Will put his hands on the arm rest and was about to stand up when the sheriff returned inside the hospital. Maybe that apology that Will wanted to give Britney could wait? Returning to his chair she came over, “So, you’re the only one left are you?” Star took the same seat that she had previously taken. Her shirt was still unbuttoned and looked to be tighter then it had been before. “Yeah,” replied Will now sounding a little nervous, “Well, you’ll be fine, Dr. Simon is really good”.
Will did not respond. He saw to his great surprise that Star was now rubbing her leg almost as if she was teasing him. “Um . . .
well that is good. I always like somebody who knows what there doing”. Star smiled as her hand began to move softer up and down her tight green pants. “I bet your little girlfriend knows what she is doing? She must to keep a cute guy like you under control.” “No,” replied Will returning her smile “She just broke up with me.” Star made a pouting face, “Oh that’s so sad”. They continued to lock eyes as Will’s attention was once again brought down to her hand that continued to rub her leg. He looked up and saw Star still smiling at him, “So you guys like to smoke pot huh”? Will began to cough as if he had been drinking soda and it had gone down his throat like a bag of marbles.
Star began to laugh, “Yeah you would not imagine how many times I get that reaction”! “No, we don’t smoke pot,” said Will trying to sound as innocent as possible. “Look . . . Will, is it”? Will nodded, and Star continued on, “I smoke pot too . . . as a matter of fact I have some kill on me right now”. Will looked over to Annabel, who was now sitting at her desk writing something. “You want to smoke a little,” Will turned back to her. This was too weird for him, smoking pot was one thing, but smoking it with a sheriff? “This is unbelievable,” Star got up from her seat and sat down next to him. “What is so unbelievable,” Will scoffed at her like it was so difficult to see. “You’re asking me to smoke marijuana with you.” Star nodded, “And have a little fun,” her hand rested on his knee. “What about Britney? My chest really hurts I should see Dr. Simon.” Star’s hand moved down to his inner thigh, “Come on I thought you were a big strong guy like my husband. You look a lot like him . . . the eyes, the nose. You could almost be brothers”.
Will gave an uncomfortable smile, “And your married,” Star wagged her finger in front of him, “No dear, I am a milf ”. Will rolled his head, “I don’t know”. Will looked over to Annabel whose attention was focused on her work. “Well if you want to have some fun, I’ll be in the bathroom”. She pointed at another set of double doors and got up from the seat. She swayed her hips as she walked through them. Will’s leg began to shake and something came to his head. Will heard a small voice say in his head, “If it is too good to be true it probably is.” Something was very wrong with this situation, with this place.
Will shrugged his shoulder and walked up to Annabel. “I need to use the bathroom,” Annabel pointed towards the set of double doors that Star had walked through. Walking into the only bathroom, he found Star breaking up marijuana into a piece of paper. “I knew you would come . . . boys . . . you’re all the same.” “Yeah,” said Will not really sure what she meant by the statement. “Clean this out,” Star handed a pipe to Will but there was something weird about the pipe. It was not made of metal, aluminum, plastic, or anything recognizable. “This pipe looks almost like a chicken or turkey bone.” Star just smiled as she continued to break up the marijuana leaving Will to clean out the pipe. “So where is your husband exactly?” She smiled as she took the clean pipe out of Will’s hands, “He is out on a patrol, he phoned me when he had found liquor, blunts, and other paraphernalia in your car.” Will’s face went into complete shock, Star just smiled, “Don’t worry I told you, this town is barely even recognized by the state anymore.” Star chuckled at her own joke, “Why is that?” Star began to scoop the bud up into the pipe, “People couldn’t raise a family out here. They all moved away except for a few folk.” Star pulled a lighter out from her tight green pants, which went well with her light brown sheriff shirt. “There is only ten people left in this town and you have already seen two of them!”
Star handed the bone looking pipe to Will, who did not take it. “You go first . . . this is too weird to be doing this with a sheriff.” “Sheriff,” she blurted out and started laughing even harder, “Oh hun you crack me up . . . people don’t see me as the sheriff. I am more like a rent a cop. Law enforcement was abandoned in this town two years ago,” “So are you a real cop?” Will asked handing the pipe back to her. “Yes . . . and no,” Will shook his head in confusion. Star put the pipe to her lips and lit the end. She inhaled the smoke, “That doesn’t make any sense, how can you maybe a cop?” Star laughed a little as the smoke exited out of her mouth, “Oh you’re so cute! You got eyes like my husband” she said sliding closer to him as she handed him the pipe. He took the pipe in his hand and ignoring the fact that there was a sheriff standing right next to him he lit the end. Will began to choke, and soon was coughing up his lungs “Oh, we got ourselves a rookie,” Will held the pipe in his hands and choked out “I ain’t a rookie!” Star began to play with his hair, “Oh now, I can tell a boy like you has experience, but you need somebody to teach you more.”
Star took the pipe and took another hit passing it back and forth between the two them. The smoke began to cloud the room as Star began to flirt more and more. “You are really cute,” Will took another hit from the pipe. His head was spinning, “This is some really good stuff.” “I know,” Star said and before Will realized it, she was kissing his neck. Will titled away, “I can’t do that your married and I have a girlfriend.” Star made a sad face, “But I need someone young to play with . . . nobody has to know.” Star leaned in and began to kiss his neck again, “But what about . . .” Star put a finger to his lip, “No, it will be our little secret.” Star leaned into Will and began to kiss him passionately. Will set down the pipe on the sink, and their kissing became deeper. Soon Will was tearing off Star’s shirt exposing her beautiful chest. “They look better then I thought,” Star smiled, “I know every boy likes them.” Star pulled away, “You want to have some real fun?”
Will’s pants were already sliding down his legs and he nodded. Star smiled, and took out a white pill that was one of the biggest he had ever seen. “What is that,” he asked, but Star smiled back naughtily and put the pill on the tip of her tongue. She leaned in and began to kiss him. She kissed him so deeply that Will did not even notice the pill sliding down his throat. “All gone,” she asked, Will nodded, “What was that?” Star smiled, “You will see.”
Will walked out with Star almost half an hour later, Will had trouble walking as everything was getting dizzy. Star was buttoning up her shirt and pulling up her pants. “Star, I can’t really see,” Will felt on the walls trying to stay upright. “I’ll take you someplace where you can come down from the pill I gave you.” Will could barely walk, his skin felt so itchy. “What did you give me?” Star began to put on his shirt, “It’s a pill that is no longer on the market. It’s really good.” Star gave him a little kiss on the nose, “I didn’t leave any bruises did I?” “Yeah,” she said sounding like it was not a real concern. “What’s your husband going to say?” “Don’t worry I got him wrapped around my finger.” “Star, do you have my pants?” “Yeah, there right here . . . hello, what is this?” Will did not even have time to ask what it was because Star had already answered the question of what had dropped, “Oh, is this your wallet?” Will could hear her opening up his wallet. She handed him his pants and a couple minutes later his wallet. “You have a really cute brother.”
Will tried walking but Star led him right back into the waiting room. “I have to check on my friends. Don’t worry I’ll check on them for you.” Star sat down as Will tilted his head back noticing that his vision had become engulfed in fog. Will tried to stand up, but fell back in his seat. “I want to see my friends,” Will asked loudly.
The next moment Will had fallen silent. There was whispering in the air or maybe that was his mind playing tricks with him. When he felt a pair of hands lift him from his seat, “Star,” he asked. “Yeah hun,” She replied, “I want to see my friends.” Star walked Will over to what looked like a giant white bubble, but a voice spoke from the bubble. The voice of Nurse Annabel, “The doctor wants to see you.” Will grabbed a hold of Star’s arm for balance, “Star will you come with me?” He felt Star take his hand and pull it off her arm, “Sorry baby”. She whispered in his ear, “My husband is coming and I have to be here when he arrives.” Will felt the nurse put a hand on his back and lead him through the double doors.
