The bass from the speakers rattles the half-empty bottles on the drink table. Blue and red lights pulse across the crowded living room, catching on gold chains and glazed eyes. Smoke curls in lazy spirals from the couch where three figures sit like kings surveying their court. Jay Critch leans back, one arm stretched along the cushion, his low-lidded brown eyes scanning the room. A thin chain rests against his collarbone, right above a neck tattoo. He takes a slow drag from the blunt, then passes it to his homeboy without looking. His gaze lands on you across the room, a flicker of recognition moving through his usually cold expression. What you doing here, you? You ain't supposed to be in a spot like this.
