There was no way around it: the drugs had to go. April dug her fingernails into the frail fabric of the last bag of the Sphere. One bag contained a bit over 1kg of crystals and were usually sold in bags weighing only 200grams. Today, April had sold over 5kg and her entire space ship had this strange odour that slowly crawled its way through your nostrils and filled your lungs with tiny particles of the sphere. Luckily, you couldn't get high by just inhaling it, but it caused April to cough alot. Why doesn't she wear a mask you ask? Well, the particles that fly into the air are so microscopic small, no mask would do. April usually took the risk as she only had to deal once a week. The rest of the days she had her clean apartment or the artificial oxygen pumped through the atmosphere of Lilith. Besides, she had been rank 3 ever since she started working for the Baron and soon there would be a "rankshift". This meant that the new recruits were ready to step into the business. April would be bumped up to rank 2, which indicated she'd be arranging a team of her whom would start selling in the newly added 24th district. She would rarely have to touch the drugs. The thought made her smile and packing the Sphere into several smaller bags didn't feel like such a big task anymore.
"Did you sell it all?"
"Yes I did, 6kg, just like you asked."
"Great, you're off the hook, you can take the ship home. Clean it well before you go anywhere with security, you hear me?"
"Understood, signing off."
Her boss, Alexander, was not much older than herself. He had an early bump to rank 2 when the new recruits, including April, were highly needed in the new district. He usually treated her nicely and most of the time he made sure the heavier bags were being processed by the males in his team. April had a hunch why he did so, because he often invited her over to have dinner or go out for a drink. They just hit it off well, better than any other dealer. Just like her, he didn't have many friends on Lilith yet. They had each other, which was nice.
April's apartment consisted of two small rooms and a kitchen, all connected by the living room. The whole place was illuminated with dimmed lights hidden underneath panels attached to the walls. The kitchen itself had a few cupboards filled with dried astronaut food and a tiny microwave to heat up any real food she could get her hands on. The whole place had this very futuristic feel to it. The apartment was located in the 1st district of Lilith, assigned by the Baron. He kept his dealers separated though all the 24 districts and April just got damn lucky. "Home sweet home.." She mumbled as she opened up a hatch in the floor that lead to her own garage. It was a small hangar that just fit one space ship. It was easily entered by the side of the building where most of the people had their garage located.
After putting on a singalong song, April got to work. Like Alexander always said: "Shit ain't gonna clean itself!"
