Missy comes back into the kitchen, alone. She takes a cup from the cupboard counter and hands it to Burke. “Drink this. It’ll make things easier.”
The pain screams through Burke’s arm, forcing him to drink. It soothes his burning throat, but as the liquid moves into his stomach, it blossoms into an unnatural warmth. More drugs. He doesn’t care.
Missy then takes his hand, and leads him gently out back to the dark yard. “I need your help,” she says as she opens the door to one of the sheds.
The job for which Missy needs him is made much easier by the drugs.
