( when eddie left hawkins, he figured it could only go up from there. he thought he could build a life here eventually, once he set aside enough money to afford a place. anything's better than living out of his van.
maybe he should have done more research. he knew he wouldn't fare well in the south, especially with his... proclivities, but there's no way there could possibly be a place with worse folks than hawkins. and the people, the locals, had been so friendly to him.
it should have figured they're so nice because there's someone far worse at the top of the food chain, pulling the strings. )
Uh-huh.
( eddie tries to sound unbothered, but he knows it's evident by how his fingers drum on his clothed knee, and he can't stop looking around the back of the suv. gator is used to being obeyed, that much is for sure. if only eddie had more wits about him, maybe he would be able to interfere, show gator what it's like to have to fight for control.
he doesn't fancy ending up in lockup, though. and a phone call to his uncle isn't going to help him this time. )
Where are you taking me? ( he pauses. ) You said the sheriff wants to see me?
