David didn't show up at her place the next day, which didn't really surprise Zippy. She was still deeply insulted by his marriage comment- OBVIOUSLY SHE WANTED TO MARRY HIM- and she hated that he continued to say things like that. So she didn't go to him, either.
Either way, Zippy was much more concerned about her empty bottle of painkillers. She had tried to get Eli to get her more, but he told her he had brought the pills back with him from the South- apparently they used to take them when they were injured to dull any pain when they were out in the fields- and that was the last of them.
So Zippy did what any girl would do. She dug into her closet, finding her most dirtiest, most revealing dress (the kind she had retired because it was inappropriate to wear to work) and headed over to Sharkey's in Brooklyn. She went inside, and began to ask around. She was led to a man sitting at a table, and asked for the pills.
The man gave her a look, asking what she had to offer him. Zippy handed him a 10 bill, which was her rent for the month. He laughed at her, then refilled her bottle halfway. Zippy got the hell out of there before something worse could happen to her. She popped one of the pills dry on her way home, and noticed it was different. Much stronger. She walked back into her apartment.
