In the Air Tonight

In the spring of 1994, it was Taco's idea to move to Los Santos, San Andres.

Ramee and Taco grew up three hours north, in Paleto. They packed up Taco's tiny, shitty Volvo with everything they couldn't completely part with. They drove off without a goodbye and with zero intention of ever coming back.

It was the summer after their senior year, and Ramee needed to get out of the family home. His best friend was the one who recommended that they could rent a shitty apartment close to the beach.

Ramee had just spent his whole day in the sun. He was working as a lifeguard at Vespucci Beach, sitting on the tower the whole time. Nothing eventful ever happened, so he spent most of his time soaking in the sun and keeping his eyes and ears perked for any anomalies.

It was an hour from sunset when Taco came tumbling through the front door out of breath. Ramee had a French fry half way between his lap and mouth, fully ready to veg out in front of their television set.

Ramee shoves the fry in his mouth while he watches Taco. He's holding up a finger as if to say one second and then has both of his hands on his knees, taking deep breaths.

"You alright?"

Taco sighs before standing up straight and nodding, "Get dressed."

Ramee looks down at his shirtless state, in nothing but his sweatpants, completely content on having a peaceful night, "Why?"

"I just found out that the Brotherhood of Eternal Love hosts a drum circle every full moon. It's a full moon. We're going." Taco makes his way towards Ramee and grabs his arm, pulling him off the couch.

Ramee has no clue what a drum circle is or what the Brotherhood of Eternal Love is, but when it comes to Taco he's learned to just roll with the punches, "Okay."

The sky is orange and pink when they step out of the apartment. He threw on his jeans and a plain white tee, tying a red bandana around his head. He has his leather jacket hanging over his shoulder as they get into Taco's 1989 Volvo.

"So where are we going?" Ramee asks as Taco plays with the radio, settling on Loser by Beck. Ramee tries not to cringe at the overplayed song.

"Vespucci."
