Title: Darkened Hearts… (Part one of Three)
Rating: M (Language and Situations)
A/N: Dick Wolf Owns LOCI characters, the others are mine
Tynie and Bobby have had more of a chance to live their lives without much bullshit hitting since Davey considered Tynie a "Jane of All Trades" to her face. Tara, Kina, and Davey all have been given opportunities by Jimmy to experience more of real-life and have more freedoms than Trisha's liked as of late. Up until today, she's not said or done anything about it. Currently, Jimmy's making breakfast when Trisha bounds into the kitchen, as if she owns the joint. That entire time, Jimmy tries to focus on the meal he's making but Trisha isn't allowing that, rather she's constantly trying to get in his face.
"Trisha if you don't back off of Papa Jimmy right now I call the cops and tell them I just busted you trying to murder him!" Davey threatens, having sat at the kitchen bar this entire time. "I won't stop him, either." Jimmy sneers. Trisha thinks Davey's full of shit, so she keeps trying to get in Jimmy's face, Davey retaining his word about calling the police. "Yes, my name is Davey Deakins, and I'm in my grandfather's kitchen where I'm witnessing my aunt trying to murder my grandfather. She's got a knife on her right now, a butcher's knife, and she's about to use it. I need police at my granddad's NOW!" Davey testifies, giving Jimmy's address. Kept on the line until cops arrive, Davey sees Tara calling Tynie and Bobby to the house.
Bobby answers it, swears they're on their way, and reports to Tynie while hanging up. Rushing to Jimmy's after their house is secured, the couple makes it right before cops arrive. Kina lets them in, turning to the officer on the other side, she alibies "Yeah, these two are our family. They're my aunt and uncle, and they're here to keep me and my cousins out of your way as much as possible so you can do your job with minimal interruptions, officer." "I'm actually a Sergeant, and I'll admit I wish more families had that system in place young lady. The name's Sergeant Keith Manton." Sgt. Manton relents. "Kina, stand down, I've got this." Tynie intervenes, Kina nodding.
"You see Sarge; we're not your typical family. My hubby is a Retired Major Case Detective, Bobby Goren. You're in the home belonging to Retired Major Case Captain James... Or as I have full consent to call him Jimmy… Deakins. I don't yet know what the hell's going on here, but I do know my niece did not just lie to you about our system for police-involvement and this house. In fact, the same system carries over to my residence." Tynie alludes. "Oh. Mrs. Goren I appreciate your honesty. You're free to go." Sgt. Manton releases. "Kina, as soon as I find out if my helping you get us all drinks won't violate any potential crime scenes, I need you to come with me." Tynie redirects. "You two can do that, just go around the back way into the kitchen." Sgt. Manton instructs, having heard Tynie's remark. "You heard the Sarge Kina." Tynie teases, Kina nodding as they obey Sgt. Manton's order.
Bobby, on the other hand, has Tara and Davey seated by him on the couch now, Jimmy standing by the deck door being interviewed by an on-scene officer. "Yes, Tynie had my full-consent to tell you my retirement from NYPD status and rank. She also had the consent of her husband to do that, even though she doesn't like doing it. She considers it a privacy-intrusion thing, but her insistence to not deceive law enforcement overrode that when she dealt with Sergeant Manton." Jimmy attests, Tynie overhearing that.
"Excuse me officer, can you get an officer by me that has an evidence bag handy?" Tynie interrupts. With a nod, the officer interviewing Jimmy honors Tynie's request. "Officer, I'm sorry for intruding on your police action but I have reasons for doing this. I believe before my nephew Davey got to call you that Trisha Deakins tampered with this food as an attempt at mass-murder. Can you bag this up and get it tested for all known poisons and shit like that?" Tynie proposes.
Bagging that food up as Tynie requested, the officer she's now dealing with asks "Mrs. Goren, have you ever been a cop?" "No, a bouncer is the closest I've come to that. I only asked for this to be bagged up and tested so that if Jimmy wants to file attempted mass-murder charges on Trisha Deakins, he has potential evidence. Shit, I'd file those charges on Trisha if I were him to be honest." Tynie negates. "I am filing that charge by the way officer. I'm adding it to the charge of mass-endangerment, with that charge covering three minors, my grandkids." Jimmy warns. "Officer, correct me if I'm wrong, but since Jimmy's one of two people here who are NYPD family, with the other one being my husband Bobby, wouldn't the charges Jimmy's seeking against Trisha Deakins be… I believe the term is… elevated to higher felonies?" Tynie wonders.
"You mean enhanced felonies, and Jimmy and Bobby'd both have to testify to you having consent to bringing up the fact they're NYPD family to us during our on-scene investigation in court." The officer nearest Tynie corrects. "Officer, I really don't think that'll be a problem." Tynie presumes, the officer nearest her departing to get that bagged-up food sent to CSU. After that, Trisha's arrested and taken away. "Ohh God, I totally jacked powers around here that I don't have. Jimmy, forgive me." Tynie apologizes, Tara closing the house behind all those cops. "You didn't jack anything around here Tynie. You were a great help to this investigation, so you don't need to apologize." Jimmy rebuts. "Kina go by Bobby. We're not cooking here today if I can fuckin' help it, not after this." Tynie mandates, Kina then urgently complying. Ordering in their meal, Tynie claims "family emergency."
"Bobby, you and Papa Jimmy are stuck saying in court that Tynie had your OK to say to those cops that you're NYPD family. I heard Tynie get told that by a cop in the kitchen." Kina frets. "She knows I'll do that, so you don't have to worry. I'm sure Jimmy will too, so it's alright." Bobby ensures. Kina nods, and then takes a seat by Tara and Davey. "We've had it decent for eight months, and this shit happens!" Tynie snipes, now being off her phone which is getting holstered. "We've got it covered Tynie, you've done enough. Now, do as you told Kina to and get by Bobby." Jimmy requires. Tynie nods, then complies, and when she sits down, concerns "How are we going to handle the custody of these three? They don't even age-out to being adults for three weeks." "Yeah, Jimmy's going to be upset with me. I told Sergeant Manton that he'll take custody of these three until they age-out. That way they wouldn't be warehoused in a CPS shithole." Bobby reveals, as Jimmy enters the room.
"I'm not even mad at that Bobby, if anything I appreciate it." Jimmy rebukes, detouring to answer the door as it's now being knocked on again. "Sergeant Manton, you're back already?!" Jimmy wonders. "Yes, I need to confirm some things before we continue our investigation." Sgt. Manton replies. "I am taking custody of my grandkids, Tynie Goren did have my and Bobby's consent to mention the fact we're NYPD family, and our retirement statuses to you and your officers. Tynie Goren also had my consent to provide you the evidence she did and seek out the tests on it that she did. Oh, and as soon as we're served to appear in court, we will. All of us, but we do not want Trisha Deakins given any plea deals for anything less than life without parole. Should we find out she's been offered one for any less than that, we'll go after the A.D.A. prosecuting the case until they're disbarred. If you or any of your officers bother any of us again today Sarge, I will find out. Then I will call the Chief of D's on all of you. I have his number set as a speed dial on my phone and I'm not afraid to use it! Understood?!" Jimmy disciplines. "Completely." Sgt. Manton gulps, noting the rest of what Jimmy said before rushing off-property. Then, Jimmy's delivered papers from a messenger, those papers concerning the custody of Tara, Kina and Davey. Signing those, and keeping copies for himself, Jimmy sends the messenger right back off-property. Then, the meal delivery arrives, Jimmy handling that as Tynie comes up behind him to secure the house.
"Jimmy, I heard everything. Call the Chief of D's anyway, hell I would. You should NOT have had to threaten that because the Sarge didn't oversee the investigation right in the first place! Don't give them a chance to fuck up again, just call and report their asses. They were incompetent anyway or else I'd not have had to go there with the evidence bag or anything else I did!" Tynie swears. "You know what? You're right Tynie, again. Take this all to the others; I've got a call to make." Jimmy re-directs. Tynie nods, and then again complies as Jimmy "reports their incompetent asses to the Chief of D's." Confessing that he was advised to reconsider the threat of contacting the Chief Of D's that Sgt. Manton was given, and by whom, Jimmy allocutes "She's got this unmistakable panache for being right. She overheard the exchange I had on my front stoop with Sgt. Manton a few minutes ago and didn't call you herself because she does not have the… by her words… NYPD-related credentials to possess your contact information. She's a real stickler for that, because to her it's an extension of respect towards law enforcement. I can get her on the line to verify this if you want."
Being told to do that, Jimmy brings his phone to Tynie, whom vouches him out to levels Jimmy secretly didn't expect. "Chief, I'm what so many in the streets consider a narc. I have been for years, and that traces back to the DEA's "Golden Child" case out of Illinois. Matter of fact, you're currently speaking to the one the DEA called their "Golden Child" for that case. That's a story I'll gladly tell you in person another day if you so desire, as to not confuse the reason for my speaking with you right now. Every syllable that Jimmy Deakins just claimed on my name is one-hundred percent true. You see Chief, Jimmy and I have an open-deal that states in the event his statements on my name are needed to be verified by any faction of law enforcement… including judges… I am to be sought out. I don't allow my spouse, one Bobby Goren to do that, because it's a prevention of violating the courts' hearsay exemption. I hope I've not disrespected you, but Jimmy was right: I am a stickler for not willfully withholding information to law enforcement in any faction, again including judges. I'm the same way about deceiving law enforcement and judges, which is why I'd probably make the world's cruddiest lawyer." Tynie stipulates in closing.
"Mrs. Goren, I thank you for your time and your statements. Please put Jimmy back on the line." The Chief of D's requisitions, Tynie yet again complying. Telling Jimmy the case regarding Trisha Deakins is being re-investigated by different cops, and the ones who everyone at Jimmy's dealt with are about to "lose their badges and benefits," the Chief of D's mentions "Oh, and tell Mrs. Goren I don't need her further. I will have to be in touch with you to discuss restitution for what you had done against you in your home, Jimmy." Swearing he will tell Tynie what the Chief of D's wants him to, Jimmy offers "Just call me to set up that meeting, as long as it doesn't conflict with the upcoming courtdate, I can make it." Agreeing to that, the Chief of D's hangs up.
Taking his seat in the living room and holstering his phone, Jimmy advises "Tynie, the Chief of D's asked me to tell you that you're not needed further. I've got a meeting coming up with him, and the case we've started against Trisha is being overtaken by different cops. The ones we dealt with here today are about to lose their badges and benefits." "Jimmy, just because the Chief of D's doesn't need me further doesn't mean I'm totally bowin' back. When you have that meetin' let me or Bobby know and we'll come hang out with Tara, Kina and Davey so you can attend that meeting without worrying about those three going unsupervised after all this new shit." Tynie rebels.
"She's right man; the last thing we need is for these three to go unsupervised when you have that meeting with the Chief of D's. Tynie said that because she now suspects those officers who're about to lose their shit are going to retaliate. I have no problem going along with Tynie's idea this time, because that's a damn good reason for the plan." Bobby supports. Jimmy shrugs to that, and then they eat in total silence. As Tynie readies to clean-up, Tara poses "Tynie how is it that you know when some folks may retaliate?" "Tara, beautiful, the best and most concise way to answer that is: I've been retaliated against before I knew any of y'all and it hit when I least expected it. Ever since, I've developed a sense if you will, which tells me when there's even a slight chance for retaliation. Bobby warned Jimmy like that so that y'all knew I'm using that sense to our advantage." Tynie explains. "That sounds reasonable." Davey and Kina chime together, as Tara helps Tynie with clean-up.
On their way back to the others, Jimmy's called by the Chief of D's, to set-up the meeting they'd discussed. "Chief, I can be in your office in an hour and a half. I've got my grandkids already supervised, and I've discovered there's a reason for that which you need to know about. Tynie and Bobby Goren vehemently suspect the officers you've just caused to lose everything will retaliate and since they know where I live: Tynie and Bobby feel it's best to have my grandkids under their watch so that if any retaliations strike, there are adults on-scene to encounter it. I can get that verified if you need me to." Jimmy notifies. Bobby overhears that and holds his hand out for the phone, intruding "This time, the verification comes from me." Being told to put "Either Mr. or Mrs. Goren on the line," Jimmy surrenders his phone to Bobby. Verifying Jimmy's latest claims, Bobby's only on Jimmy's phone for ten minutes. Giving that device back to Jimmy, Bobby sits back as Tara and Tynie again reclaim their seats. Setting the meeting for two hours from now, the call's mutually ended.
"Jimmy, not to sound like a dictator or an asshole but I believe it's best we all discuss whatever the hell's going to come out of the meetin' you have with the Chief of D's when we're all back here. I don't think it's too damn wise to chat about that over cellphones, especially since a slew of cops just lost their shit if you know what I mean." Tynie garners. "She's still sensing retaliation!" Davey shrieks, getting pointed at by Tynie. "That was all I needed to hear, I know how to handle it from this point on." Jimmy assures, holstering his phone again at last. "I swear on God's nuthairs, we're all gonna need a vacation when this new shit's done goin' through the courts!" Tynie curses. "Ah, you leave that to me." Bobby and Jimmy scold simultaneously. "That works!" Tynie, Tara, Kina, and Davey all concede together. "Jimmy, not to jack controls around here or anything but I think it's best you take Bobby's SUV and get goin' to that meetin'. You don't really know what traffic's like right now and it'd be quicker to take Bobby's SUV since I parked behind you." Tynie counsels. Handing over the keys, Bobby approves "She's right again, man."
Departing from there, Tynie tails Jimmy to lock up, before retreating in the direction of the others. "Babe, speaking of your SUV, I think you need to revoke certain consents and alter them to cover Jimmy instead. I mean, behind his back since he had that meetin' come up. I hope you already know whose consents I'm asking you to revoke for access to your SUV." Tynie vents. "I'm on it." Bobby affirms, going for his phone. Tynie, in turn, texts Jimmy, saying "Bobby's currently altering the consent-for-access to his SUV. You're covered, a certain bitch perp isn't. You know who I'm referring to, and if any shit goes live with his SUV: Bobby asks to be immediately contacted. I just found out."
She doesn't get that answered until Jimmy arrives at the Chief of D's office, Jimmy replying "You tell Bobby he's got a deal." Promising she will, Tynie ends the conversation and holsters her phone yet again. Updating Bobby on what she did, Tynie winds up having to make the same consent-for-access alterations pertaining to her Chevelle. Hanging up, Tynie worries "Jimmy's gonna fuckin' kill me but I think we need to have every one of his vehicles towed into a shop and thoroughly checked. We did just get rid of a bitch who tried to basically fuckin' kill us so that move is a prevention of further endangerment. Babe, this is my idea, I'll take the heat from Jimmy on it." "No you won't, I'm calling him now." Bobby denies, contacting Jimmy immediately. Appreciating the update, and consenting to the latest plan, Jimmy requests "Bobby, get Tynie to stand down, will ya?" "I will." Bobby vows, hanging up.
"I can't stand down yet, this entire house needs checked. These guys need supervised, how the hell am I gonna do both at the same time?" Tynie ruminates. "You're not Tynie; leave that to Bobby and Papa Jimmy. Besides, I believe that means if anything else is wrong Papa Jimmy can add more charges to Trisha." Kina supposes. "You're right on all of that Kina; I can't check this place over until Jimmy gets back though. He said not to do that while he's gone. We can do what Tynie said about Jimmy's cars while he's gone, but that's it. By the way, I was supposed to be the one to get Tynie to stand down, but you beat me to it. Nicely done." Bobby constitutes. Tynie sits back with a near-audible flop, Tara guessing "We just broke her heart. She's trying to make today easier on Papa Jimmy and us, and by us telling Tynie to stand down, we've hurt her." "I'm not heartbroken or hurt honey; Bobby just had back-up from Kina, that's all. Bobby's supposed to protect me, and now y'all, from being hurt. Kina backed him up by beating him to giving me a stand down order for my own safety. I'm just pissed that all this has happened to us today." Tynie clarifies. "You know, I like the way Tynie sees things sometimes, and this is definitely one of those times." Davey boasts.
All that was discussed as Jimmy's in the meeting with the Chief of D's, using the updates Jimmy got en route to his advantage. "I'd have all those cars junked frankly, don't pour money into them. In fact, I can get you in contact with an auctioneer who's about to sell some used unmarked police squadcars and SUV's. He'll give you a deal Jimmy, I'll see to that." The Chief of D's recommends. "Get me that man's number, and I'll take it from there Chief. I'll just have to make one phone call to my house before we go any further." Jimmy falters. Allowing for that call to be made, the Chief of D's witnesses Jimmy then contacting Bobby. Answering it, Bobby's given a full stand-down order and told "I'll tell you why when I get back to the house." Conceding to Jimmy's wishes, Bobby hangs up. Concluding every aspect of their meeting after that, Jimmy's released from the Chief of D's office. Heading for home, Jimmy feels a new relief he didn't see coming when everything struck this morning.
Returning to his home, and locking up behind himself, Jimmy hears Tynie plan "This shit calls for three Darkened Hearts drinks and three virgin Darkened Hearts drinks. I just hope to God Jimmy's not allergic to Jager." "I'm not allergic to Jager Tynie, relax." Jimmy sates, seeing Tynie make her way into the kitchen. Claiming a seat in the living room, Jimmy updates everyone else but does so in order for Tynie to hear everything. Serving everyone, Tynie sits down, saying nothing. "I've already called for the tows to junk all the cars on this property except yours Bobby. We've got two hours before they arrive and that was the best I could do. I've contacted that auctioneer too, and he's having three unmarked squadcars and one unmarked SUV delivered here. That happens tonight, and it was the best I could arrange." Jimmy concludes. "Tara, Kina, Davey, while Bobby and Jimmy check this joint over, we're on car-clear out duty. I'll get those keys, and y'all follow my lead. Don't any of you touch the plates though, that's part of my part in the car clear-outs." Tynie supposes.
"She's right; we do need to canvass this property, and yours Bobby. I'm not mad at Tynie for taking the lead on the car-clear outs because I was going to ask her to. If anything's amiss, I'm adding charges to Trisha's case, and I very strongly advise you do the same, Bobby." Jimmy re-evaluates. "Ohh I will, trust that!" Bobby jeers. On that note, everyone drinks in silence, Tynie clearing from the glasses alone. "I'm sorry y'all, but after all the new and endangering shit we've had to shovel today, I'm deliberately not allowing Tara, Kina, and Davey to manhandle anything they cannot legally possess at their age, and that includes glasses that have had liquor in them. Only if Jimmy outrightly overrides me on that will my decision on it change." Tynie regrets.
"I'm alright with how you encountered that Tynie." Jimmy approves. True to Tynie's word over those drinks, after Bobby's cheek gets kissed, she takes Jimmy's near-adult grandkids to do the car clear outs. Afforded the chance to canvass both properties, Bobby and Jimmy do so as if they're executing a search warrant. Reconvening in the living room, Jimmy quips "Nothing came up out of the ordinary during our canvasses, so we can't add those charges to Trisha." "Yeah, and since we're junking the cars and have replacements already lined up, we can't nail her for charges there either, I'm assuming." Tynie reviles, receiving a sullen nod from the man of the house. "Y'all, I think it's best we all tail Jimmy's lead on how the rest of today goes." Tynie reprises. "Tynie, that means you'll be watching Tara, Kina and Davey while me and Bobby make a bank run. When the auctioneer gets here, sign for what he brings you. I've already arranged that with him. The other cars were already towed to be junked, which is what took me and Bobby so long to get back in here." Jimmy commands. "You got it brother." Tynie acclaims.
On that note, Bobby kisses his wife's cheek, he and Jimmy then leaving for the bank. Securing the house behind them, Tynie's not even able to go to the couch before the auctioneer shows up to deliver the vehicles Jimmy'd ordered. Opening the door just long enough to sign for those forms and obtain them, Tynie sends the auctioneer's deliverymen on their way. Re-securing the house, Tynie and everyone else in Jimmy's house now await Bobby and Jimmy's return. Keeping those forms closed and on her as a trek to the couches is made, Tynie repudiates "I know you three are about to have Darkened Hearts yourselves, and I don't mean the drink. I wish things could be different for y'all, but they can't. There is one thing y'all can bank on though, and that is: Bobby and I shall never betray you. Hell, the strongest we'll do is tell you we're not available sometimes and there's a huge difference between that and blatant betrayals."
"I know you feel bad Tynie, but I wish you wouldn't. You and Bobby have steadily been in our lives since the day we first found out you exist. You've given us the damn world, really. We totally get that sometimes you and Bobby won't be available, because there will be times when we're all not available. We know we'll never get the truth or apologies out of those who have betrayed us. Apologizing is not your place, or Bobby's, honestly." Davey rebuts.
"You sound like Bobby and Jimmy combined, Davey." Tynie notices. "He's not wrong, though." Tara wavers. "I know." Tynie sighs. Bobby and Jimmy's "bank run" doesn't take nearly as long as either man expected, their drive back to Jimmy's being made after only an hour. Entering and locking Jimmy's house upon their re-arrival, Bobby heads right for his wife, Jimmy tailing him. Surrendering what she signed for to the man of the house, Tynie witnesses Jimmy hand over one of the forms to Bobby. "We've just got to get the cars we've all received today made street-legal. Then, we wait to be served to appear in court." Jimmy reports. "I'll look into doing that online if you want Papa Jimmy." Kina provides.
"Ooh honey no. That's one of the quickest ways for a hacker to make off with our identities. I'd rather us all make pit-stops and go handle that in person. I know you didn't know that was a risk, but now you do." Tynie disapproves. "You all heard the woman, but while we're out: we also get something to eat." Jimmy re-assesses. Honoring Tynie's latest idea, they soon head out to get their new vehicles all made street-legal. Grabbing a meal as they all are out on the town handling that, everyone from Davey to Jimmy is secretly glad today's starting to turn out better than it began.
They arrive back at Jimmy's one more time after being out on the town making their new vehicles street-legal. Exchanging hugs and well wishes for the night, the group disperses, Tynie and Bobby heading for home. Closed off from the world with their front door locked, Tynie vents "I told Tara, Kina and Davey that I feel bad for them now having Darkened Hearts. I don't mean the drink when I say that either, but they've been through shit in their young lives that actually gives my hellish past a run for its fuckin' money. I want to give my ultimate to them, Jimmy included, as much as I strive to do that for you. We've all got a courtdate coming up, and it's probably going to arrive before those three age-out into adulthood. That's unfair to them, especially Jimmy, because like I said they've all been through serious hell… again. Babe, I seriously don't know what else to do now."
Embracing her, Bobby considers "We've done all we can until the case with Trisha goes to court. After that, we're all on vacation. We take everything from there, honey. You're not wrong about what you said to Tara, Kina and Davey about them having Darkened Hearts, but we'll show them that not everyone they know is going to betray them. It's the best we can do now, sweetheart." "Ohh good, I didn't bullshit on your name behind your back!" Tynie rasps. "Excuse me?" Bobby wonders, getting told everything about the discussion Tynie had with Tara, Kina and Davey while Jimmy and Bobby were at the bank. "You did right by them when you discussed that babe, calm down." Bobby soothes. Tynie goes silent, clinging to her spouse as she nods. After a short time, Tynie's escorted to the couch, her man not able to join her immediately because there's a knock at the door.
Receiving the couple's unexpected dinner order, Bobby brings it to his wife before doubling back to re-lock the house. Tynie gets met up by her spouse on the couch before they communally eat in silence. After dinner, as Tynie clears from it, Bobby gets called by a very-pensive Tara. "I-I remembered what Tynie said about us not cooking at all today. I-I'm the one who asked Papa Jimmy to order our dinners. B-bobby I'm sorry." Tara stammers. "Hey, why are you so scared about talking to me, Tara?" Bobby inquires. "I didn't want to bother you again today, not after everything. Papa Jimmy told me to tell you the truth about dinner though. I'm not scared to talk to you Bobby; I just didn't want to mistime my call." Tara rescinds.
"Tara, listen. You don't need to worry about mistimed calls or anything like that. If you contact me and Tynie and you get our voicemail or we don't reply right away, it's because we're either unavailable or our phones are charging. That's not something you need to be sounding so worried about either. Remember what Tynie told you three about us not betraying you, and what she said about us sometimes not being available. Do that and we're good." Bobby discourages. Agreeing to that, and wishing the couple good night, Tara hangs up. Telling his wife the latest, Bobby's stunned when Tynie mutters "Sometimes I fuckin' hate bein' right." Standing up to meet her again, Bobby asserts "We've got this, baby." "Yeah, we may have those guys covered, but there are some things we've not done yet today." Tynie protests, then rising to her toes to give Bobby a kiss. Enjoying every minute of it, when their lips separate, the couple mutually whispers "I love you."
Gently moving to stand at her man's side, Tynie and Bobby traverse their home, heading for the master bedroom. Jimmy's again-shortened household is already ending their day in their individual areas by the time Tynie and Bobby's phones are set to their chargers. In their room, closed off from the rest of the house, with their end tables now adorned with charging phones, Tynie and Bobby spend time in the throes of the day's withheld passions. Funneling their day's frustrations into their intimacies, Bobby only worries about harming Tynie. Showing just how much of a rough rider Tynie can be in bed, she dispels those worries even though they were never spoken. Eventually collapsed into his arms, Tynie's sweaty and spent, as is her suitor. "Did I hurt you sugar?" Bobby mutters. "No, did I hurt you gorgeous?" Tynie murmurs. "No." Bobby declines, the two then whispering their love to one another. Finally covering up, as Tynie nestles against him, these two at last call it a day.
Eight months of having everything calm and decent after Tynie got considered a "Jane of all trades" to her face by Davey have come to an abrupt end. Up until today, the most serious matters they'd all had to contend with were occasional sickness bouts, which weren't all that major in the first place. Trisha caused the abrupt end to everyone's trend of having things calm and decent with that exemption, and damn near killed everyone in Jimmy's house in the process, just because she hated the fact Jimmy wasn't going along with how extremely Trisha tried sheltering Tara, Kina, and Davey from the world. A lot more got done today, including a slew of cops losing everything. Tynie was right about one thing, and in her own way Tara proved it. While Tynie had Tara, Kina, and Davey under her watch as Jimmy and Bobby resolved banking issues today, the aftermath of today for those near-adults was called by it's true form. Tara, Kina and Davey, after all this, will now have something that's also the name of one of Tynie's signature drinks. That being, those three near-adults shall now possess:
Darkened Hearts.
