Baking in the Sun Prompt #17, Chapter #3

It is only the 3rd chapter in the book and the desert heat is starting to get to the two men, not to mention the heat mixed with the hardcore drugs the have been abusing. As the narrator and his attorney continue their voyage, they begin to get hostile. They pick up a hitchhiker and almost offer for him to drive because neither of them can handle themselves under the condition they are in. The two men end up getting in a fight over some spilled cocaine and the attorney pulls out a gun. "'Checking into a Vegas hotel under a phony name with intent to commit capital fraud and a head full of acid?' He was laughing again, then he jammed hisnose down toward the salt shaker, aiming the thin green roll of a $20 bill straight into what was left of the powder." (Thompson 22) The heat and the cocaine infected minds of the men have driven them insane.
