“Was it violent?”
Furrowing my brows, I stared at him in confusion. “What do you mean? It was a suicide.”
“Was there blood? Did he or she use a gun or a knife, any kind of weapon?”
“No, pills,” I said.
Akio grimaced and ran a hand over his face. “Thank fucking God.”
“Why?”
“I thought my mother had killed someone. She had blood on her blouse during breakfast. When you and Poison didn’t show up for school yesterday, I thought it was you.” He paced the hallway, running a hand through his hair and shaking his head. “I thought they had fucking killed you.”
“I’m still here,” I said. “But I need a favor. Poison’s not in a good place right now, and they were planning on finding some medicine for João’s sister during this chaos after the principal died, but I’m not sure that’s possible now. Is there any way that you can … find some for us? I can pay you.”
Akio stopped pacing and stared at me for a few moments, his face blank. “I can see what I can do, but I can’t make any promises. Just, promise me, you’ll stay away from all this drama. Things are only heating up in Redwood. I can feel it. Something bad is coming.”
