The Quaalude/Hefenreffer era; meets Trent Kite; the M.P. decamps

texture · ages 13-15, B.S.

• When: ages 13-15
• What: First Quaalude at thirteen; a two-year "Attack of the Killer Sidewalks" era of Quaaludes/QuoVadis and Hefenreffer. Gately falls in with a sinister B.M.S. drug-set including Trent Kite, the chinless computer-wienie whose kitchen drug-synthesis earns his place. During this interval the M.P. found a Newburyport divorcée and decamped in his sticker-covered Ford. Gately walled football off, absorbing substances only at night, after practice.
