Gavin screamed at Molly “How dare you have my little girl put to sleep for a month. Your rich you should pay for a proper detox. I know you have the money.”
“First off it was your daughter that went down and got oxy pain killers. How she paid for them I do not want to know. But she gave gave my son them. So if she was not the mother of my grandchild I would murder her. Secondly I do not have a spare 70 thousand dollars laying around.
I barely have that to spend on myself. Only the fact I got a couple of tips from a friend allowed me to make a little money there will be no more tips and no more money. So what little I have has to last me until I die. Unless you are prepared to pay my old home costs? I hear your father was tossed into one of those places where they tie them to the bed and leave them like that until they are dead. ”
Gavin face turned red “My family might not be as rich as yours. I heard you sold ventilators that cost you 200 dollars for 36000 under Trump ”
“Moron I sold the 4000 dollar ventilators years after Trump. Trump was the one who did not want the cheap ventilators but that was pre covid. Hell Biden paid 15000 when 10000 maybe 7000 might have been enough.
You know what just shut the hell up. You had pictures with Terrance on your webpage. That guy drove 200 miles with a sixteen year old to a pain relief clinic so that he and the boy could score opioids. What was the kid paying him for the ride?”
Gavin face turned purple and Molly glared at him. “Listen you little worm. I am paying for your food bill you ant that fat ass Rhino you call a wife. If you want me to cut you off I will happily use the money I save to put my son through the expensive and better drug rehab.
Now a couple of things are going to happen one my grandchildren are coming to live with me. Second your going to take over looking after the chickens I sent you. Nick being a nice boy is stealing some of the eggs for his sister. With how tight things are we can not afford to keep him on even on minimum wage. ”
Molly continued to glare at Gavin “Gavin things are tight so listen to me and listen well. If you or any member of your family besides my daughter in law get hooked on anything or cause trouble I do not have enough cash to bail you out again.
Alright I do have enough cash I am just not doing it because it things get worse I will need that cash. Have my grandchildren here a hour before my son and daughter get in the coma pods or I will cut your food money in half. You can eat spider and cockroaches with the rest of your peers.”
A thought took Molly she could gut Gavin off and have her son detoxified properly with all the bells and whistles. Then she decided against it. Gavin was already moaning about his precious daughter if she cut him off he might do something stupid. She had no legal claim on her grandchildren.
A knock came from Molly door and she hit a button powering down her connection to her computer. With the increase in super powered people she did not want someone using some weird power to spy on her while she plotted.
“Come in”
Jim entered her office looking nervous.
Molly sighed “Why are you nervous?”
“I am not nervous I am just feeling this might not be a good idea we are about to give a bunch of junkies drugs and tell them to head to farms and kidnap the families. We are giving rocket launchers and assault rifles to drug up maniacs and letting them loose. People are going to die.”
“Jim I am tired I have not had a coffee in a year because now a small cup costs 150 dollars. That is for a cup. Last week some maniac used rockets to attack his school. He shot at them with a anti tank weapon from half a mile away.
If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
You know they are talking about giving a lot of schools have guards with explosive collars around their necks after the last three school shooting by the guards. I did not like it when the guards had to be armed with assault rifles and body armour rather than the pea shooter hand guns they had. But now I need to save up for a anti drone and missile defence system for my grandchildren school.
Your in the same boat. Only its worse for you you need money to buy food for your family. Now we can argue about right and wrong or we can talk about making enough money to feed our families. Because they are talking about cannibals killing and eating people.”
Jim swallowed “I heard but we are going to release drug up maniacs on families”
Molly snarled “You heard nothing. They have money or rather crops which can be turned into heroin. Unlike the cannabis suppliers they do not have much security. So like the man said we go where the money is. Get Ross to change out the pain pills tomorrow. We can loot a couple of days of pills and then use them to hire the scape goats for our plan. We pay for everything in bottles of pain pills.
Ross has been practising his teleport power?”
“Yes we have had him teleporting the bottles he can manage around 2 to 3 every quarter of a hour. It would go faster if we did not have to swap the bottles.”
Molly thought about it “It would be nice more money to buy more help. But we are being greedy enough already. Us blocking the super power sensor is risky enough. Swapping out the top of the bottles just gives us more time. Once they know the meds were stolen they will look for where it was done. If the sensors are working they will look up the supply line. It buys us another day maybe two.
A day is plenty anyway if worst comes to worst our lawyers can always blame the drug companies. It was the evil drug companies they sold drugs to kids. Its not like the drug companies can answer a lot of questions without being sent to prison themselves.
Its the main reason I choose the old age homes I think they are fiddling the books. If that is true if they catch us they will have to suppress the investigation ”
Jim looked at Molly “And if its not and we are caught?”
“They feed you in prison at least at the moment. I have heard rumbling about reducing prisoners meals like in India. If that happens any sentence over a six month stay will be a death sentence.”
Jim looked shacked “They are going to let prisoners starve to death?”
“They have to. Take a look at the beggars on the streets begging for food. If they are feed in prison they will line up outside the jails with bricks and toss them at the guards until they are arrested. After all better to be in prison and feed than outside and starving.”
Molly turned grim “It actually makes our job easier. People are desperate and willing to do anything to feed their families just like us. ”
Molly chuckled “We are poor the easiest people to kill are the farmers of the poppies. They help make pain meds which have killed millions so no one will care what we do to them our their families even the bleeding heart hippies. So get your big boy pants on and lets do this. Unless you have a better idea?”
“They have new super serum that increases the chances of gaining a super power.”
“No they have a formula that kills half the people who take in and only gives the survivors a percentage chance of getting a power. One of my friends survived and got the ability to change the colour of his hair to green. I mean sure you can change your hair to green and its a great party trick but then what you have green hair until it regrows. Any word on the cars we are going to rent.”
“It has to be electric more specifically the larger off road type the kind that explode if they get wet.”
Molly winced “I thought they fixed that in 2035”
“Its a new design every year and they made a mistake this year. Stick a five dollar covering on the battery they are good to go. Its reliable better than the oil cars we can afford which are honestly death traps in the cold weather predicted.”
Molly paled “The cold weather what are you talking about? ”
“They are talking about a cold snap everywhere snow the whole lot.”
Molly looked at Jim and cursed “I should boil you alive get on the phone we go tonight. Pray that we have time to get a good haul. You idiot think about the grain. If its a bad snap at this time of year then all the grain could die. They will be eating each other a couple of weeks after that.”
“Its not that bad.”
“Not that bad did you hear them taking about the new Islamic state and how the new plantations in Iran can meet their food needs. If the grain belt goes down millions will stave. Starting with anyone in prison or poor. You remember all those stories about the Indians going off to die when they were too old to work. Do you think they wanted to do that? You think the Vikings wanted to jump off a giant rock when they got too old? No there was not enough food and it was them or their kids.”
Jim nodded “We can head down now I will have him work all night. We will just take the goods no need to replace the bottles. It raises the chances of getting caught.”
“Shameless that old tv series have them play the first episode in the old folks home the one where they talk about where one of the orderlies rape the old granny and get promoted after it. That will give the old folks in the home something to think about. As we are taking their drugs I am betting they riot. ”
