[ it's around 2 a.m. when an ambiguous knock comes on the door of 3-2. and when the door is opened, three cartons of cigarettes are sitting on the stoop, a stranger in an obnoxious yellow hoodie retreating with a glance over his shoulder.
'junkie delivery boys come so cheap, yeah?'
one of the cartons is open, though, and tucked inside the cardboard folds is a note that seems to pack more weight than normal; ]
fox, dont take a blackout to need an open door your kind likes its hidden little dens -- g
[ inside is a black keypass to the shackshop, white silicon notches on the unsharp, old edge. a clean corner of the square has a ring that a thick red string is looped through for 'safe keeping'. ]

[he's about to yell after the kid when he sees the small, tattered corner of paper sticking out of the carton]
[with that, it clicks neatly into place, with reliablepredictable memory]
[his mouth splits into a scabbed grin around his cigarette, and he picks up the cartons, bringing them inside]
[with long-legged strides and boots crunching through the debris of 3-2's battlefield carpet, he shoulders open his bedroom door]
[it's after he piles the cartons on top of the safe in the corner and ashes his cigarette that he pulls the note --]
[-- and something heavy falls to the floor]
[blinking, he reaches down, picking up the keypass by the red tether]
[his eye immediately snaps over to the note in his other hand for explanation; it gets another grin]
