WHERE ELSE CAN WE GO?
“Where have you been?” asks Phil to TJ as Phil, TJ, Odin, Lauren, and I sit down on various sections of the tan sofa and matching tan love seat in Bobby G’s living room.
I look at Odin and see that he is missing some hair on his side and I ask TJ, “What happened to Odin?”
TJ looks down at Odin and answers me, “O, he was shot by some moron, but he’s okay now.”
“Who shot him? What happened?” I ask TJ.
“I’ll get to that, but first I want to apologize for leaving and for acting the way I did around Bakari,” answers TJ.
“We did wonder if you were still alive and if we would ever see you again,” I say to TJ.
“I apologize for how I acted. I let my emotions take over. I thought Bakari and his group were connected with all the craziness that happened a couple years ago with the rioting, looting, and fighting around here,” replies TJ.
“We are still working with Bakari and his people though,” I say to TJ.
“That’s fine, and I would like to meet with them actually,” replies TJ.
“But what changed? Why are you okay to be around them now?” asks Phil to TJ.
“I’ve learned who the Ghosts are and how they’ve helped a lot of people around Tampa Bay,” answers TJ.
“Where is Janet?” asks Lauren to TJ.
“She’s on the reservation with Alice,” answers TJ.
“Where?” asks Phil.
TJ smiles and answers, “The Reservation. The Native American Reservation.”
“Like the Indian Reservation?” I ask.
“Yeah, that one. It’s freaking huge and amazing,” answers TJ.
“How did you end up there?” asks Phil.
TJ tells us what happened to him, Odin, Janet, and Alice after he drove away from us in the power company parking lot after saying that he would not work with us and the Ghosts.
TJ and Odin enter TJ’s house and TJ is still pissed-off after seeing Bakari and the Ghosts.
Janet enters the kitchen and sees TJ pacing back and forth in the kitchen.
“What happened T?” asks Janet.
“I’m done with Ryan and his group,” answers TJ with a raised tone of voice.
“Why? What happened?” asks Janet.
“He’s working with a group that I refuse to work with. I can’t be around Ryan if he’s working with those people,” answers TJ with an angry tone.
“Why? Who are they?” asks Janet.
TJ looks at Janet and angrily answers, “The group Ryan is working with are terrorists and they were a big part of the protests, riots, fighting, and chaos around Tampa Bay… We lost a lot of good officers because of the bullshit they caused.”
Janet just looks at TJ and doesn’t know what to say as she feels TJ needs to let out his frustrations.
“Police officers all over the country were put in a terrible spot after all the craziness with the cops that killed several people while on duty in the Midwest and the South,” continues TJ.
“I understand T. We’ll do our own thing. It might be better this way,” replies Janet.
Alice walks into TJ’s kitchen and sees Janet and TJ. Alice opens the refrigerator door and makes a sarcastic comment to TJ, “Why are you in such a good mood right now?”
TJ, who has a short fuse right now, answers Alice with an angry tone, “Shut it, I’m not in the mood for your shit right now.”
Alice grabs a drink out of the refrigerator and replies, “Sorry, didn’t know it was your time of the month.”
“But what’s the plan then?” asks Janet to TJ.
Alice exits the kitchen and goes into her bedroom.
“I’m not sure, but I think we check in with pop at the base and go from there,” answers TJ.
Janet looks at TJ and asks, “But what about Alice?”
TJ looks at Janet but doesn’t answer.
“I doubt she wants to go back to base... And I saw that she has a bag packed and ready to go,” says Janet.
TJ gets even more pissed-off, exits his kitchen, and pushes open the slightly open bedroom door to Alice’s room.
“What the hell?” shouts Alice, who was sitting at a desk inside her bedroom.
TJ sees the
