You see, most dope growers don’t have Ben’s social conscience.

They trash a property out.

They rip it open and put in cheap, dangerous wiring that often sets the place on fire. Their power needs cause neighborhood brownouts. They tape plastic sheets over the windows to hide their nefarious activities. They have people coming and going all hours of the day and night. Their generators make noise; their dope smells. They not only take the value of a particular property down, they lower the value of the whole neighborhood.

They’re dirtbags.

Rental Realtors and property managers properly shun them.

So Ben and Chon had to find one who was blissfully unaware.

The OC wife category was problematic because Chon had slept with probably half of them.

This is what Chon did between deployments-he read books, played volleyball, and fucked trophy wives, many of them (of course) real estate agents.

So he, Ben, and O went through the listings of Realtors.

“Mary Ingram,” Ben read.

“Chonned,” O said.

“Susan Janakowski.”

“Chonned.”

“Terri Madison.”

Ben and O looked at Chon.

“You don’t know?” Ben asked.

“I’m thinking.”

“My man, ” O said.

They gave up on the OC wives and moved on to the surfer category.

“Here’s our boy,” Ben said.

He pointed to an ad for Craig Vetter.

“Is he a surfer?” Chon asked.

“Look at him.”

Sun-bleached blond hair, deep tan, wide shoulders, vaguely vacant look in the eyes.

“He’s been hit in the head a few times,” O concluded.

They called him.
