Gael was ready and fell on the attacker with his knee on his back stabbing him over and over.After awhile he got up and noticed the blood all over his clothes and walked down the dirty alley and grabbed mens clothes off the lines in the slum.By the time he reach the bottom of the hill he was in clean clothes and loaded.
He checked into a nice hotel that had a casino and café.He eyed the game and it looked good who knows he thought maybe his luck would hold up.
Gael
Gael checked into a nice hotel by paying a little extra because he looked so shabby and was asked to get some better clothes if expected to stay there for very long.Then went to the bar and brought a bottle of whiskey and went up to his room.He sat on his bed looking out the window.He had never had to worry about a place to stay or eat.Maria always was there but those days were gone.He didn't want to end up on the street.
He finished the bottle and lay down to sleep and the next day about eight he woke with a headache and hungry.Maria he almost called out wares my breakfeast but caught himself.Bitch I will show her he didn't need her.Then got up dressed and walked down stairs to the dining room.
The waiter stopped him at the entrance."You can't come in here looking like that a field worker this is for people with money."
"Where would I get such clothes in a hurry?"
"Across the street."
Gael walked across the street and told the store owner his problem."I want to look the part but not spent all my gambling money doing it."
"Tell you what I'll do rent a suit and shirt and shoes for two peso's a day.You win come back and another five and they are yours if you lose come back drop the clothes off."
Gael walked back to the dining room in the hotel with his clothes with no problem and sat down and eat a large meal.
A few hours later he went into the casino part of the hotel and sat down at the bar and ordered a drink."Look partner I am from the slums with a lucky hand of 21 and want to work up the ladder what would you suggest which table."
"Look I have seen people come and go with lucky a strike and you know booze always brings them down.In this world you have to be sharp least you wind back on the streets with a rock for a pillow.First stop drinking and start taking this white power."
"What is that?"
"From the coca plant.The farmers eat the leaves while they work gives them endless energy and makes the mind sharp as a razor.When they refine it into this powder its called cocaine.You inhale it up your nose."Then the bartender put some coke on the bar and did some lines up his nose."See like this."
Gael kind of tilted his head side to side thinking if he should.Then took two snots up his nose and it was like an explosion.His mind was suddenly working like a steel trap.He could think fast and looked over at a table and could almost feel the numbers.
"Yes buddy your are right ,no more booze for me."Then he went over to one of the tables and sat down.
Instead playing foolish like he always did he tried to read the dealers face when he read his cards.He would just smile small or frown when it was bad.No one else picked it up but him.He lost a few hands to see if he was right and he was.So he desided to win the big bets and lose the small ones so as not to draw attention to himself and after six hours he walked away with four hundred peso's four years wages.
He went over to the bartender and wanted to buy some cocaine."Look you steered me right and I would like to buy some."
"Its hard to get only because there is not a big demand.If you could get people to try it then it would take off.But I have a small bag you can buy."
"Who is your dealer?"
"A farmer who comes in once a month and sells me a few bags.Says he has more but can't find anyone to buy it."
"Where does farmer live?"Gael asked.
Then the bartender gave him directions to farmers place and then borrow the bartenders motorcycle and drove out to there.In was in the jungle and coffee plants and banana tree's and then there was fields of coca plants that looked like bushes that had red berrys and flowers.
Then farmer came out of his house with a shot gun.He was old and had gray hair bent over."What you want?"
Gael got off the motorcycle and walked over with his hands in the air."Look I am here to help you sell your cocaine.I think I can make it go but you have to trust me.You see the problem is no one knows what its like.Just that some farmers use the leaves to chew for energy.They don' t know about the powder.Look I gamble in the casino I could give free samples out all over the place and it they are like me one shot and your hooked."
"You want coke free to give away whats in it for me."Said the farmer.
"Look my name is Gael been a drunk all my life until I did my first hit of cocaine and it changed my life for the better.I will pay you 20 peso's for a kilo of cocaine.Yes and I will give it away every drop.But next time I will buy five kilo's and sell every bit.What have to you got to lose your not selling any now.You grow and I'll sell."
Gael handed over the twenty peso's and the farmer smiled."My name is Jamie,"then he put down his gun and went into his barn and brought out a kilo of cocaine.Then took the money and kissed the bills and put it in his pocket."Thank you Gael you are my life saver."
Gael drove back to the bar and took his coke up to his room and then went out and got some small paper bags and put a little in each bag.Then put ten bags all over his body and then went down to the bar which was hopping being Saturday night.Edwardo the bartender was cut into the deal and would motion Gael over when he had a client for his coke.
A heavy site man in a expensive suit sat at the bar drinking a beer and was mad for losing so much money.
Edwardo motion Gael over and he sat next to the heavy site man."Hey my name is Gael you know I used to lose at the tables a lot and then I discover this new powder you snot it and it makes your mind ten times sharper."
"Come on that's bullshit."He said
"Look free of charge from my own supply I will let you have some and you will see and I will show you how to do it now."Then took out a bag and put some powder on the bar made a line and breathed it in with a straw."You see that easy."
Then the man took a shot and sat straight up in his chair."Holly shit !"He said and looked around and everything looks so sharp and clear."I gota play I have ten peso's left."Then went over to a table and bet and won.He turned around and held up his thumb in victory.
"That's one customer for life,"Gael said to Edwardo.
A little later the man came back and asked to buy some coke and Gael sold him a small bag for 20 peso's he had just broken even and he just started.
Buy the end of the night he had five hundred peso's in his pocket without gambling and still more in his room.
A week later he had body guards with guns to keep robbers away and to make sure the dopers paid.The farmer was happy and all his product was being sold so much that he had to go out in the field and bring some more in.
But still it was it didn't catch on beyond Colombia and its considered a small crime
