Johnson's Garage

As T-Bull waits, the other two decided to get in the car with him, having really no other choice at the moment. They make it down the block to where the garage is. Old Man Johnson is in the back taking his first nap of they day.

T-Bull leads the two of them into the waiting room and parks Ferris in front of a black and white TV.

OOC: TBULL, MISTY

Phillis Wheatley High School, English Exam
Fifth Ward

Malcolm felt like he was going crazy during the exam. His hand was cramping from all the writing, there were far too many distractions and too many things on his mind. It seemed as though someone was watching him and there were other things that were more important than the exam.

But that's not the way to think when you need your grades to at least be okay for college. And, Malcolm's grades were okay. He considered himself a better than average student, and probably could be well above average if he didn't have football, girls, Jeffrey, and gangs to worry about.

Speaking of which, Malcolm looked for a good moment and asked Rosa, "Rosa, when are you done with exams? I want to talk to you about some things - the exams, you. Can you spare your old english project partner a few minutes of time?"

"Detective Barton, what a pleasant surprise, and here I thought the donut shops were open all day. Say, I just got back from getting a pedicure (I get half off you know), and it made me think of you. You look like you could use a makeover, starting with a good dentist. I know a vet that works on horses..."

Carlos continues to walk up, by, and right passed the detective and into the room as he rattles off one-liner after one-liner, trying to keep the fat man distracted.

"Of course," Jessica agreed with an understanding smile. "Take care, and remember to call me about the blue bottle. It should have my name on it." With a little wave, she headed out the door, leaving Mike alone with his thoughts and his silent father.

As Carlos is busy talking, the door opens and he collides with the young woman just leaving. She looks completely startled as she holds onto the door with one hand to keep from falling, the other to steady Carlos.

"Oh! I'm sorry," Jessica apologizes as she recognizes him. "Carlos, is it? How is your arm?"

OOC: MIKE, CARLOS

Carlos struggles to keep his balance. Tripping has a tendency to be catastrophic for him and it's only made worse by having one useful arm. He'll try to steady himself and make his way inside where he can turn and look at Jess without having to worry about Barton.

"Oh, hey Jess! Sorry about that, I could have sworn I saw the Michelan Man running after me. The arm's ok, I guess, nothing time and some happy-pills can't take of. What brings you here?"

"Look what just happened today, Jeffrey... You need to talk to someone who can protect you," Lamar said. "Dog Man can't reach everywhere."

"You don't know what you're talking about," Jeffery spat back, angry now that Lamar had seen him like this. Those blue eyes churned with resentment. "You and my brother, this perfect little f#cking team of superheros. What do you know what its like to be me? You two just walk around like life is just perfect...well its f#cking sh#t for me!"

He started stalking off in the opposite direction of the school.

OOC: LAMAR

"It doesn't have to be that way, Jeffery," Lamar called out. "You can change it."

If Jeffery doesn't turn back, Lamar will go to the principal's office himself and tell her what happened.

Lamar heads toward the principal's office after watching Jeffery disappear in the distance. Outside Principal Gardiner's office the receptionist glanced up at the approaching young man.

"Hey Lamar," she spoke recognizing him. "What do you need? Shouldn't you bein an exam right now?"

Jessica glances behind her at Mike and his father and then smiles at Carlos. "I just came to see how his father was doing." She arched a dark brow. "Shouldn't you be in bed or at least taking it easy?"
