Ice Country
“The day trips are pretty stock standard, trading ice country goods for fire country goods, but the night trips always include the strange bags of mystery herbs.
“Do you think those herbs are some kind of drug?” I ask Buff as we walk through the Blue District. We’ve given up on the Red District. If someone took my sister there, she’s well hidden, because we’ve scoped out every last shivhole in that shivvy District.
“Can’t be,” Buff says. We’ve talked about the herbs a dozen times, but always end... up chasing ourselves in a circle. “The only drug I’ve ever heard of is ice powder. If there was some herb floating around, we’d know about it.”
“Maybe it’s the king’s secret stash,” I say.
“It’s possible,” Buff says. “You mean, kind of like a leader to leader exchange thing.”
“Yah, with the fire country guy—what’s his name?—uh, Roan.” It’s the only explanation I can come up with.
Other than that, the herb is just an herb, and why would it require all the night work, secrecy, and smuggling in by Heater prisoners?MoreLess
