“Not on record with the Catholic Church as an official saint, Saint Death, or Santa Muerte, was a symbol carried by those involved with narcotics, be it trafficking, selling, or use. It was like waving a flag to a narc officer. Which was why Damien stood in front of three hundred students at Lake View High School for the fourth time that day, a video of an inmate playing on the screen behind him.
He watched the faces of the teens carefully, noting the ones who appeared uneasy, or kept touching t...heir skin. Officer Carney, one of the local police force assigned to schools in this area, was surveying the kids and doing the same.
The video depicted a meth user, high as a kite, raving about bugs under his skin. The man had picked sores all over his face, and half his teeth were gone from meth use. It was a sad way of life for a man who’d first been seen in the video as a wealthy, high-powered lawyer.
Damien noted four students who appeared to have more than a passing knowledge of meth. It was in the way they wouldn’t watch the video, and held their hands in check to keep from picking at meth bugs.MoreLess
