Excerpt:
We
walked directly across the hall, to a second door leading to a second
warehouse. It was like those Russian Matryoshka dolls that get pulled
apart to reveal smaller dolls nesting inside. A warehouse within a
warehouse.
Nick
took me to the door and knocked.
My
previous work took place down the long hall to the left, in a room
around the corner in the rear of the building, and I looked over my
shoulder to where I normally worked with Becka. She was nowhere to be
seen. Whatever Nick was about to show me was entirely new, but I had
a very good idea of exactly what was behind that thick door.
A
sliding viewing port opened, and a set of eyes looked out. The
viewing port closed, and the sound of a heavy lock clacked from the
hollows of the metal door. A moment later it opened and we stepped
inside, shielding our eyes from the glaring light.
“Holy
hell,” I muttered, stepping into the room. The temperature was hot
in there, muggy, and my eyes were practically blinded from the
succession of thousand-watt high pressure sodium light bulbs lining
the ceiling. A sea of tall marijuana plants filled the room, all set
in carefully arranged rows, some attached to an elaborate hydroponic
system. The smell of fresh marijuana was as thick as soup. A silver
tray holding orange slices and a knife sat on a table by the door.
“So.”
I turned to Nick. “What exactly do you need me to do?”
