the park ; saturday evening
An appearance from Gwendolyn was enough to drive Flick to drink. After seeing her last night, that was exactly what Flick had done. And when he'd woken up face down in his pillow, he knew there wasn't going to be any Joi to nurse him back to health. She was gone. He'd left her behind.
Jude hadn't shown up last night either. That hadn't surprised Flick all things considered but he'd been hoping for a visit from his brother to ease his mind. But, he'd been drinking and his mood hadn't been great so his brother stayed away.
Today, he wasn't feeling much better. The hangover had eventually abated and he'd seen Gwendolyn briefly sometime that morning. She'd tried to make him jealous by touting her dalliance with someone Flick had never heard of and had laughed when he hadn't reacted. He'd wanted to stay close to her, make sure she didn't cause him trouble but she'd slipped away and he hadn't been able to find her just yet. She'd turn up when she wanted to and hopefully she wouldn't leave any bodies in her wake.
It was a warm night and Flick didn't know how long he'd been sitting on the bench in the park. He was out in the open though, making it easy for Gwendolyn to find him and torture him further. Right now, he was alone and trying desperately to figure out Mandel's game.
He was worried. Things like this almost made him want the stupid pollen back. He'd had some enjoyable interactions under the influence of that pollen.
