He just wanted Rocco to get off his case.

The dude fights warlords, Im sure he would tell rocco to just can it, besides weed is pretty weak, takes a lot to make somebody really high. Know plenty of people who used to work while high. They worked crappier and made everybody pick up the slack but could function. Now, if rocco put some salvia in....

“Really?”

“Sure I have. I good with woman.”

Katie took out her cellular phone and dialed Greg’s mobile. She only got his voicemail. She then dialed his home number and still got his voicemail.

“Greg’s not answering his phone.”

“Don’t worry, he’s probably just in the shower.”

“I’m going to check, just to make sure. Thanks for lunch.”

Katie put the rest of her food in a Styrofoam take-away box. She walked out to her car, a red Chevrolet Caprice, and drove off to Greg’s apartment. She listened to a news program on the radio, talking about South Africa’s peacekeeping efforts in Nigeria. She turned it to another station, where some a couple of callers were talking about their deteriorating sex life.

Katie arrived at Greg’s apartment complex at around one o’clock. She took the stairs up (for the exercise), and opened his apartment with a spare key. She found Greg on the living room floor with glassy eyes and messy hair. She walked over to him, astonished.

“Greg,” she said, lightly slapping him on the face. “Gregory, wake up!”

Greg slowly lifted himself up, resting his back on the sofa. He stared at the ceiling, and then abruptly said,

“Why the fuck is Micky beating Dignam with a stick?”

“Greg, what did you do?”

“I don’t know. Rocco’s now living with me and he had dagga on him. He wanted me to try it and I did it so he could shut up about. That was some powerful stuff he had on him.”

Katie picked up a small plastic bag filled with a greenish herb. She then did an inspection of it and placed it on the table.

“I have some news for you: this isn’t dagga. It’s salvia.”

“What’s the difference?”

“Salvia has a psychological effect on your mind. It gives you a trip.”

“So it’s like acid?”

“Pretty much.”

Greg got up and walked into his bedroom. He reached into his closet and took out a 12 Gauge Mossberg shotgun and a box of buckshot shells. “Ek gaan dit stupid, die seun van ‘n teef vermoor!” he muttered under his breath, loading the shotgun. Katie then entered the room and held his arm firmly in her hand.

“Greg, going after him with a shotgun won’t resolve anything.”

“He lied to me and said it was dagga. I hope he has fun removing buckshot pellets from his leg.”

“Look, if you don’t want something like this to happen again, just get rid of the salvia.”

Greg thought about this for a minute, and then started to unload the shotgun. “Alright, we’ll do it your way.”

Any ideas for the book? I'm open to suggestions.
