The Drug Trade
When
R Gervasio started hanging around Decameron around nine months ago,
S Antonino told everyone to help him out in any way they could.
S Kiran had hurt him back a couple of months before, and had briefly been on oxycontin to alleviate the pain. Kiran still had most of that scrip, and knew it was valuable, so offered it to Gervasio to sell. Gervasio was reluctant -- this didn't fit him self-image -- but needed the money, and sold it on to a dealer in the park for a fair amount of money. So Kiran has gotten a couple more scrips since then, keeping up the pretense of having a hurt back, and passing them on to Gervasio for the cost of the co-pay.
They both think of this as a basically victimless crime; unfortunately,
R Finlay, who is one of the local beat cops, observed Gervasio apparently doing a deal last week.
