Jeszika Gautier sits at the bar in Prey, alone and feeling as low as she’s ever felt before. Kahlua sits before her, the glass seemingly holding her hand instead of the other way around and calling for her to imbibe its contents. Feeling a need to leave the house, Prey felt like the safest haven she could find where no one would judge her for this...
As she glances around, the bartender, Stephanie Tompkins, wanders over to check on her.
Stephanie: You doin ok there, Jeszika?
Jeszika: Yeah, just a rough week is all.
Stephanie: Carrie must've had one too since she asked if the new girl could take her shift tonight.
Jeszika sighs.
Jeszika: Yeah... not surprised. Seems I’ve developed a stalker, and its kinda hitting her hard. I wanna help her more but...
Her hand tightens on her glass.
Jeszika: I don't know how and the temptation...
She shakes her head.
Stephanie: At least she trained the new girl first, I'd hate to see what would happen to this place if Carrie just left us with some rube.
Jeszika: Good point.
Stephanie: I think she's in her room back there.
Jeszika: I'll go see her soon.
Stephanie: Ok, let me know if ya need anything.
Jeszika nods.
Jeszika: Will do
"A raven likes to play in the snow... "
"She saw a silver fox lying asleep in winter"
"And now they play in the same meadow..."
As the texts come in from the unknown number jez clicks to what they mean and suddenly gets up from her seat and rushes out the back to Carries room not even knocking she just enters the room. Carrie sits before her coffee table, a mirror before her with powder split into several lines. Just as Jeszika walks in, Carrie sits back, pinching her nose.
Carrie: Good goddamn good shit!
Jeszika: Carrie....
Her eyes fall down onto the powder on the table and a powerful wave of temptation hits her.
Carrie sniffs, rubbing her knuckles back and forth across her nose's tip.
Carrie: Ah...
She sniffs again and then looks up, blinking hard.
Carrie: Jezzy?
Jeszika: I... Care... are you alright?
Carrie nods.
Carrie: I feel awesome!
Jeszika bites her lip, an internal debate raging.
Jeszika: Got enough for two?
Carrie grins and moves over.
Carrie: Help yourself.
Jeszika hesitates. She knew this was a bad idea but she needed this, needed to feel not scared anymore. Even if it was for just a while. Then she leans in. A knock on the door catches both of their attention.
Carrie: Somebody come with you?
Jeszika shakes her head.
Jeszika: No... I was alone.
Carrie nods and stands up, wiping at her nose again. She walks to the door and glances through the peephole.
Carrie: It's Kris... he looks... worried.
Jeszika: Shit... and I almost...
She takes a few steps back from the lines struggling to take her eyes off them before she goes to the door and opens it.
Jeszika: Kris...
Kristian nods.
Kristian: Somebody called the garage...
Jeszika: It’s not what it looks like...
Kristian looks passed her.
Kristian: Looks like Carrie had some... and you didn't, yet.
Jeszika: Well that is what it looks like then... I... if you hadn't knocked.. I was going to...
Kristian nods.
Kristian: Wonder why he called me then...
Jeszika: He?
Kristian nods.
Kristian: Some guy called, said, "A raven plays in the snow. She saw a silver fox lying asleep in winter and now they play in the same meadow." Then he paused and asked me if I'd stalked any prey lately... and i knew who he was, what he was and what he was talking about.
Jeszika: I got the same message... shit...
Realization hits her face
Jeszika: He wanted us here together... he lured us all here.
Kristian nods.
Kristian: He wanted us to see...
Carrie frowns.
Carrie: See what?
Kristian sighs.
Kristian: What he'd managed.
Jeszika: What he's driven us to... bastard...
Carrie sniffs again and then sits down on her couch.
Carrie: I've been sitting here all day.
Jeszika looks over at her and sees the coke sitting there. All she wants to do is dive into it and inhale it all.
Jeszika: Fuck...
She shakes her head.
Jeszika: I....
She licks her lips.
Jeszika: I need to get out of here.... if I don't I will....
She shakes her head again.
Jeszika: I can't do that to you....
Kristian takes her hand.
Kristian: You both should come on...
Jeszika nods taking his hand before holding out her own for Carrie. Carrie stares at the powder before her and then to both of them.
Carrie: Are... are you sure?
Jeszika nods.
Jeszika: It’s what's best, Care.
Staring down, Carrie grabs a little brush and quickly scoops the powder back into a baggie. She ties it back up and then nods, standing up.
Carrie: I'll just give this to Steph on the way out.
Jeszika: Sounds like a plan
Kristian nods.
Jeszika: Let's go then.
The three of them walk out of the room, Carrie handing off the baggie to Stephanie as they go.
Fifteen minutes later, all three vehicles, Jeszika's Camaro, Kristian's pick-up and Carrie's Corolla, are all pulling into Jeszika's driveway. As the drivers exit their respective cars, they're joined by Kristian's two passengers, his dog Ravvy and his cat Casey. The five of them enter Jeszika's house, roll up into the living room and park themselves on the couch, Jeszika on the left, Kristian in the middle and Carrie on the right. As they take their spots, Ravvy climbs up and flops himself on Carrie's lap while Casey climbs up onto Jeszika.
Kristian: They missed their Mommies... didn't they?
Jeszika: Yeah they did... Sorry I haven’t been home much lately.
Carrie starts petting Ravvy's head.
Carrie: Their... their... mommies?
Jeszika: Yeah, he's their Daddy so that makes us their mommies.
Kristian smiles.
Kristian: I think she's just getting used to the idea is all...
Jeszika: Thats true.
Carrie: I'm just...
She trails off, trying not to burst into tears.
Carrie: I'm just a stupid coked-up lesbian bartender... how could I be... anybody's mommy?
Jeszika: And I'm just a alcoholic chick who used to murder people for a living now I fight... I'm not good mum material either, but that doesn't change the fact that we are now mothers to some very adorable animals.
She scratches the cat behind the ears
Jeszika: Isn’t that right, Casey?
Kristian pulls both of them over to him.
Kristian: That's the coke talking...
Jeszika: Hey I didn't even have any... though I did drink some Kahlua.
Carrie nods shamefully.
Carrie: He meant me...
Jeszika: Care... we love you,no matter what. You’re an awesome person, I wouldn't be with you otherwise.
Kristian: You both are.
Carrie bites her lip.
Carrie: So... what happened in Topeka? I... I saw...
Jeszika: I...
She looks down.
Jeszika: I was attacked after the show.
Carrie bites her lip harder, shaking her head.
Carrie: I was hoping I was....
Jeszika frowns.
Jeszika: You were hoping you were?
Carrie: I was hoping I was... hallucinating or something from getting drunk or...
Jeszika shakes her head.
Jeszika: Sadly not. Someone hit me from behind in the parking lot, then when I was out cold they...
She shakes her head again.
Jeszika: He put me in my car, drove me back to my motel.... Moved me into the driver seat, put a rose on my passenger seat filmed a video and... Kissed me....
Carrie nods.
Carrie: He sent it to me too.
Kristian frowns.
Kristian: Sent it?
Carrie nods.
Carrie: He video'd it...
Jeszika: He sent it to you Care? Fuck, no wonder I found you how I did...
Carrie nods, the guilt eating her alive.
Carrie: Yeah...
Jeszika: Care... I would have done the same thing, if not worse...
Carrie: I did...
Jeszika: You did?
Carrie nods.
Carrie: I've been up since yesterday morning...
Jeszika: Worried about me? Or worried he'll come after you?
Carrie: A little of both?
She shrugs.
Carrie: I don't know, I just... didn't wanna think about it anymore.
Jeszika: I just want him to stop... That was my new phone he messaged me on today...
Kristian: I wonder when he'll show himself.
Jeszika: When he does, I'll make him pay for all of this....
Ravvy barks his agreement and Carrie smiles.
Carrie: You tell 'em, Ravvy, you tell 'em!
Jeszika: That bastard better be scared for the day when we find out who the hell he is. I ain't got guns for no reason....
Casey leans up and starts rubbing her lovingly.
Jeszika scratches her head.
Jeszika: So what now?
Kristian: Sit here and hold each other?
Carrie manages a small smile.
Carrie: I like that idea... and I think Ravvy and Casey do too.
Jeszika: I like that idea too. Ain't no two bit crazy stalker guy gonna stop us either!
As she glances around, the bartender, Stephanie Tompkins, wanders over to check on her.
Stephanie: You doin ok there, Jeszika?
