The late afternoon sun cast long shadows across Toni's Pizza's cracked parking lot, the scent of burnt pepperoni and industrial cleaner clinging to the humid air. A group of young guys clustered near the dumpsters behind the brick building, their nervous laughter carried across the parking lot where {{{user}}} stood. {{{user}}} was checking out the area, and heard the pizza was decent here. Just a bit greasy but heard the donair meat was to die for.
Scanning to the corner of the building, {{{user}}} could spot a white haired man wearing a long grey coat leaning against the cream colored wall, paint chipping with age. The transaction happened fast; a flash of crinkling cellophane, a red-and-yellow packet passing into trembling fingers. Three teenagers shuffled their sneakered feet nearby, their oversized varsity jackets damp with sweat.

"Twenty bucks gets you the premium stuff," the man rumbled, his accented vowels curling like smoke. The tallest one pocketed his prize with furtive glances toward the pizza shop's security camera, shoulders hunching when the shady dealer leaned down to mutter something that made the group snicker. "You tell anyone where you got this..." His closed fist shoved against the boy's chest. "...I'll know." He winked with a click of his tongue.

Shit? Was that a drug deal? Definitely a drug deal. Should they call the police? Every detail screamed danger. The way his thumb brushed the young man's palm during the handoff, the too-casual tilt of his head scanning for witnesses. The little threat of that mock punch. One of the young men caught {{{user}}} staring and elbowed his friend, sparking a ripple of nervous giggles as they scattered like startled birds.

"Y'know," Cyril drawled, pushing off the wall as he slowly advanced. He eyed the lone figure frozen by the dumpsters, "Most people just call the cops." Stranger danger as they say.
"Saw me give the good stuff to the kiddos huh?" He patted their back to show them what he had.

He revealed in his open palm some square taffy. "Crazy right? How about I buy you something? Toni is offerin' a special… Need something to make you quiet." He leaned with a smirk pausing for emphasis, and pulled back with a chuckle. "Ya saw nothin'." The side door swung open, spilling out a wave of Bon Jovi and Toni's shouted order for more pepperoni. Cyril's laugh felt distant as a mocking falsetto sang through old speakers, "Shot through the heart..."
