Now as we all know
before Lance turned to a relatively honest life
he had been a go-between drug shipper between the
East Side's Chinese Syndicate and the West Sides Irish American
drug distributors of Lung Ecstasy.
Made somewhere in mainland China and in heavy demand by
mere humans who wanted to get as close to a TF into
a furry or a scaly as possible.
There was Panda Ecstasy for the furries and Lung Ecstasy
for the wanna dragons.
It didn't actually turn a user into a new species but it was
capable of causing some body modifications such as
fingernails turning in to black reptilian claws
and a sweeping extra mane of white and brown hair on the
spine of its users.
So old Lance had a good reason to be less then grateful for
his dragon tattoo,since he'd seen firsthand the damaging
life altering effects these drugs were causing in the city.
************************************
So along he and airhead bimbo Tina thundered on the motorcycle back to Monica's place,where her still human
sister Alicia might be.
Finally they arrived at the place where Lance parked the
motorcycle and fished out the keys where he knew Monica
kept a spare set.
Unknownst to Lance,as he had thundered by Mickey Rourke's Flower Shop,one of the members of the West Side
saw him.
Knowing that his boss Spike had a old score to settle with
Lance the observer phoned up his boss with the news and pretty soon
Spilke Flannagan and about a half dozen henchmen were on
their way.
*****************************
Nobody was on the main floor and no one answered Lance's increasingly
frantic calls of "Alicia,are you here?"
They might have missed the clue but as they were rushing
out again Tina spotted the bottle and the spilled pills lying
beside the closed basement door.
She picked it up and chewed on one of the pills before
asking her boyfriend
"Lance ,what is 'DRAGON RAPTURE'?'
Lance froze in his midstride and spun around
"DRAGON RAPTURE"
He looked at the closed basement door and knew exactly
where Alicia was and what she must have been doing.
The door was locked from the otherside but Lance pounded at it
this the lock gave way.
He ran down the steps two at at time,Tina somewhat
slower behind him.
Nude Alicia lay moaning on a plush carpent in the
center of the huge basement cavern,both sealed and unsealed bottles
of the shapeshifting drugs
DRAGON RAPTURE and LUNG ECSTASY around her.
Her chest was heaving up and down and on a nearby chair
were Alicia's clothes and a paperback novel of the face of a
young woman dripping venom out of her elongating fangs.
Clearly Alicia was pushing things...
