Things go Wrong
Shit in a pie.
It couldn’t last; it couldn’t bloody last. It had to happen eventually; something had to go wrong with Cassandra. Well now, it has, big time. Slices of shit pie for everybody.
I’ve just come back from a meeting with the caseworker for Cassandra’s brother. He’s going down the pan fast, incredibly fast. There’s a good chance he’ll take the whole family down with him. Which is bad news for me, it’s bad news for Cassandra, it’s bad news for a whole stack of people.
Turns out the gang he wants to hang out with have some drugs, they need moving around the place. He’s volunteered. The drugs are currently being stashed under Cassandra’s bed, and it’s 3 to 1 odds she’ll be asked to move them. This is not good for me, and we need to find some way out of this fast. Usually in this situation, we’d opt for the “easy opportunity to rat someone out” escape route. But Cassandra is just too nice to her brother to drop him in deep shit. This means we’ll have to find some other way out, and we have precious little time.
I have a great deal of faith in Cassandra, but without an escape route, she could be in serious trouble.
We really really need an escape route.
Shit in a pie.
