Welp

Tad's day was mostly scuffed jobs again. Towing didn't work at all. Mosley's was okay most of the time.

He figured out what he found wasn't really important, probably because he found another G6 chip thing just sitting on the sidewalk. The first he found in the apartments hallway. So texted Twinkles to nevermind. Mostly, though, he was just too nervous. He knew he could still act like he thought it might be important. Tad is generally pretty smart about playing stupid since most of the time it's not actually an act.

He waited around for Buttons, who was busy at some meeting. He got tired of exploring near sani, so he decided to go home, where he saw Tessa's bike. Unlocked. So he violated her space and went and got parts to give her a two across. Her engine, though, is REALLY bad. So he was going to get at least one more engine repair part (knowing it wouldn't get her close to good) and as he was trying to get the money for it, Chatterbox approached asking if he was a mechanic.

Tad doesn't know who Chatterbox is. He said hi to Tad once at the hospital, but immediately ran off. So Tad was slightly nervous simply because he was a clown, but he still doesn't know how close he is to Tessa. Except that he's probably close, based on where the conversation went and the fact that Tessa was discussed by the random gang members.

Tad was really tempted to tell Chatterbox just to ask what he actually wanted to ask around the time they had the "are you good or bad?" conversation. But he understood that Chatterbox may have been trying to be discrete about things for Tessa's sake. So he just went with it and continued to work.

Tad heard the warning loud and clear the first time he heard it. From Tessa.

He's unsure if this was the punishment or if it was the calm before the storm.

My poor computer has a couple files to convert, then I need to edit them down (you don't want the recording of the hour and a half long queue today). The recording for tonight might come tomorrow, but it's more likely going to be posted on Saturday.
