Six Months Ago – Winstable Bay, Miami

BRAD

Red. It’s everywhere.
Eyes open, eyes closed.
Red.
Blood, pain, gunshots.
Her hair.
Red.
I duck, the sound of guns firing, bullets flying.
But I still see red.
And then . . . green.
Green eyes looking up at me full of relief. Of hope. I tell her she’s going
to be okay. She nods. It’s weak, it’s jerky.
Red.
This time, it’s not blood I see. It’s not vibrant, glossy, shoulder-length
waves.

It’s a red mist.
Anger.
She looks down at the crook of her arm, and I follow her eyes to the
needle hanging out. Then up the pipe toward a bag. There’s a hair tie
halfway up, knotted around the tube, blocking the flow of drugs to her
veins. Her jaw tenses, and she yanks it out. Blood sprays the mattress, and I
look over my shoulder, seeing Danny hauling a blonde girl up from another
bed. Goldie is watching the door, James has another girl in one arm, a gun
in the other, and Ringo is carrying a brunette. Every taste in women is
covered. Sick bastards.

“We have one more,” I yell. The weight of the other unconscious girl on
my shoulder becomes heavier. “Fuck.” I jerk my arm, shifting her up more
as I round the bed. “She’s awake,” I call. Smart. She’s smart. And so
fucking young. I ask the girl—because that’s what she is, a girl—if she can
walk. She gives me another jerky, strained nod as I offer a hand, and her
delicate, pale limb reaches for me. She holds on to me so tightly as I help
her up off the dirty mattress, the strain on her face painful to watch. The
strap of her tank slips off her shoulder.

Purple. Yellow. Black.
So much fucking red, I’m forced to blink back the mist clouding my
vision, anger crippling me. Her hand feels for the strap of her tank, missing
it, her movements clumsy and disorientated. “Here.” I wince, lifting it back
into place, covering her bruised breast. My teeth grind. What the fuck did
they do to her? I hold out my hand again, but she doesn’t take it. I look at
her. She looks at me. And for a moment, I’m lost, no longer dodging bullets
and running for my life. Instead, I’m tumbling into a gaze so expressive. So
hopeful.

So fucking beautiful.
Falling.

Just staring.
I feel my forehead furrow and shake my head mildly, trying to realign
my focus. But her eyes. I’m a prisoner to them. I need to get her out of here.
And yet for all the will in the fucking world, I can’t move. Can’t even
feel the weight of the other girl on my shoulder anymore.

Bang!
It takes that gunshot to break the spell. The girl startles, and I blink my
vision clear of the red, looking back. More gunshots ring out, and mumbled
yells of panic come from the young women who are drugged up to their
eyeballs. “Fuck. We’ve got to go, sweetheart.” She’s quickly tucked into my
side, clinging to my torso, both arms wrapped around me to hold herself up
