stings a little.
    Forcing my thoughts back to my brother, I think back to Tommy’s behaviour at the coffee shop. In hindsight and knowing Tommy for as long as I have, I realize that he really was just putting on a show. Hurting me had hurt him. And if hurting me hurt him, I know that hurting Derrick would just about kill him. He might not know where Derrick is, but he knows more than I do, which at this point is absolutely nothing.
    Daniel had said that he was going to Tommy’s house. My mind had been a little distracted at the time but I have no doubt that Tommy will not be home. He hates his house, only going there to shower and sometimes to sleep if there is nowhere else to go. If this is just a regular night for him, he’ll be at The Corner Pocket.
    Nodding my head, I jump up from the couch and grab my seldom-used car keys. Mom had left her car here when she moved out west for me to use whenever I wanted. I rarely use it though, opting instead to walk or take a taxi. Parking in this city is ridiculous.
    Heading for the garage, I hit the button on the wall and open the car door as the garage door rattles open. Sticking the key into the ignition, I give it a twist and listen to the car come to life. The little Kia Rio hasn’t been started since I took it out to visit a friend in the suburbs three weeks ago.
    I pull out of the driveway and make my way to the pool hall, praying that Tommy will be there. I don’t know if I can go through another sleepless night, wondering if my brother is okay. The drive only takes a few minutes, and on the way I plan out exactly what I am going to say to him. I know his buddies will be around and that he’ll likely be a dick at first, but this time I’ll be prepared. I will yank him out of there by the ear if I have to.
    Pulling up to the curb, I make my best attempt to parallel park the Rio. I only having to pull out and back in again four times. That’s a new record for me. I’m just reaching for the handle when I see Daniel come walking out of the pool hall, Tommy close on his heels, his face looking sad.
    I watch as Daniel opens the back door of an unmarked cruiser and walks around to the driver’s side. Where are they going? Does Tommy know where Derrick is? I consider getting out and approaching the car but I’m worried that I’ll be interfering with whatever Daniel is doing to get Tommy to co-operate. Besides, my car is parked several cars behind them. I’d never make it to them before they pull away.
    But they don’t pull away. From where I sit, I can make out the shadows of both men, and neither seem to be moving much. Suddenly, the shadow in the back starts jerking around, arms flailing and it almost looks like he’s hitting the windows but I can’t be sure. What the hell is going on?
    I reach across the seat and rummage through my purse without taking my eyes off the shadows in that car. When I finally locate my phone, I pull it out and get ready to dial Daniel’s cell phone. I want to let him know that I’m here.
    I just dial the last number when the Tommy’s shadow sits up straight and the car pulls away from the curb. Daniel’s phone rings four times before his voice mail picks up.
    “Daniel? It’s Gabby.” I put my car in drive and pull out onto the street, following the unmarked car. “Um… I went to The Corner Pocket to see if I could find Tommy, and saw you and him getting into your car. Did he tell you where Derrick is? Anyways, I’m right behind you. Call me back.”
    Pressing the end button, I toss the phone on the seat beside me and do my best to keep up with the speeding car.
     

     
    Daniel
     
    I see Gabby’s number ringing through on the screen and silence the ringer. Tommy is behind me, finally telling me everything and I’m not about to interrupt him when I’m so close to finding Derrick.
    “So this kid at school started selling us weed, ya know? And me and Derrick, we thought he was a cool kid, and we liked his supply, so we started
