Myrna looked entirely confused "Huh?"

Sed sat on the bed next to her "We think Trey is abusing his pain ? Do you have proof?"

Jessica hesitated "He keeps getting refills"

"And he needs a prescription for those refills, so he obviously needs the doesn’t add up, Myrna"

Myrna collapsed back on the mattress and covered her head with a pillow "Did you already accuse hi to let hih ti hiot to be kidding ruht you, of all people, would recognize the slippery slope he’s sliding down"

"Sed, he has a prescription I don’t knohy you’re equating this with a proble more than he’s supposed to A lot more"

"Where’s your proof?" She slid the pillow from her face and looked up at him "You have a tendency to juht Maybe you’re wrong And you knohat I see? I see Trey getting back to normal The way he used to be You don’t see that?"

"All I see is hi to the bathroo bothers hi with his proble to cover the pills?"

Sed sighed in frustration "Not directly No"

"Maybe he just needs a moment to himself"

"Maybe" He knew that wasn’t the case, but Myrna wasn’t going to listen to hi on her support to get Brian in his corner, because Trey would listen to Brian Noas Sed going to do?

"Myrna," Jessica said, "I think Trey’s abusing his painkillers too The longer ait, the more addicted he’ll become"

"His prescription will run out eventually and then you won’t have anything to worry about Can I go back to sleep now?"

"Yeah, fine Whatever" Sed stood, took Jessica’s hand, and headed for the door At least Jessica was on his side Itwhat he knew he had to do No one was going to like it Least of all Trey

Jessica closed the bedroo no one could overhear their conversation in the uitars while Jace and Eric listened to them play The bus slowed as it entered the exit rao inside the pharmacy with Trey," Jessica whispered "He’ll be less suspicious ofto beco it from us, which will make it harder to help him"
