The
next episode was about a week later, Bobby sneaked out of Terry's
house while we were watching a movie. And went into Terry's police
truck and got on the radio. He called out that there was an Officer
Down. We hear sirens coming from every direction. Not knowing
what was going on, Terry said he would get his portable radio and see what
was going on. As we sat there and listened to them checking every
officer on duty and then them not knowing what was going on. I sat there
scared to death, worried that some officer was in serious trouble.
Then we heard the voice again say Officer Down ... Terry and I looked
at each other and both bolted off the couch and out the back door.
There sitting in the truck is Bobby with radio in hand. Terry grabbed
him by the hair on his head and yanked him out of the truck. After
locking up the truck again. Terry went inside with Bobby in hand,
and called the supervisor on duty and explained what had happened. To say
the least, Terry got chewed on then and again the next day at work by his
supervisor.
In January
of 95, we decided that we would get an apartment together. We spent so
much time together, that it is stupid to maintain two houses. So we found
a nice 2 bedroom
apartment.
The day
we moved, we rented a truck and picked up the things that I had in storage
and then Terry's items at his place. When we got the truck to the
new place. Bobby decides that he don't want to live there. And refuses
to help carry anything up to the apartment. Now we were not asking him
to carry furniture or anything heavy. It was things like blankets,
toys, couch cushions. We were all tired and hot, and Bobby's attitude
was not helping matters. I told Bobby to stay out of the way. We
were wanting to get the truck back before the end of the day.
Bobby
decided that getting in the way was much more fun. Every time we turned
around we bumped into him. Coming up the stairs he was standing in
the middle of them and wouldn't move, we ended up dropping a dresser cause
I tripped over Bobby. This caused tempers to really flair up.
Terry was worried that I had been hurt cause the dresser dropped on my
foot. Bobby was whining because I almost fell on him. We finally
got the dresser in the apartment and I took a look at my foot. It
was steadily swelling and turning colors. Hurt too much to try and
get my shoe back on. This was a real problem cause Bobby wasn't strong
enough to get the bigger items that were left up the stairs.
I decided
that since Tim and I had remained on speaking terms for Bobby's sake that
I would call and ask if he could help Terry get the remaining things off
the truck. After I explained what happened, he agreed to come over and
help.
Later
that night we looked again at my foot, which had now swelled twice it size
and turned purple, that it needed to be looked at. Tim agreed to
take Bobby for the night, so we could go and deal with the ER. I
got lucky nothing was broke, just banged up real bad. I was told
to stay of it for a couple days. I limped for a good two weeks.
