Prompt: Eliot is icing his shoulder and wonders aimlessly how many bad people and sad stories he can find on TV.
#2: Good People – Jack Johnson
(Based on the line of lyrics that says: Where'd all the good people go? I've been changing channels; I don't see them on the TV shows)
Eliot flipped through the channels on TV while icing his swelling shoulder. Some Italian mobster from the team's recent job had popped it out of its socket during a fight.
As he flipped through the channels, he aimlessly wondered how many tragic stories he could find on TV today. He started with channel two.
Channel 2 was CBS News. On it, they had a pretty little brunette with a serious look on her face telling everyone about a hurricane down in Florida.
Channel 3 had on a rerun of Criminal Minds. It was an episode where a woman had broken up with a man and he had decided to kill her and the rest of her family for it.
Channel 4 was NBC Nightly News. There was another newscaster – this time a man – who was talking about a murder case in Ohio that had some big twist in it, but Eliot didn't feel like keeping it on to watch it.
Channel 5 was Fox 5 News. There was yet another news broadcaster with grey hair, staring ominously into the camera, as if he was staring straight into Eliot's soul. He was announcing the attempted bombing in a big park in New York.
Four channels in the course of one minute, and Eliot knew that channels 6-100 would be no different.
Eliot leaned his head back to rest it on the couch pillow and looked at the ceiling. "Where are all the good people now-a-days?"
He looked back at the television screen and scrolled through a few more channels. Suddenly, a bunch of horses popped on the screen and Eliot stopped. He had almost forgot that the Kentucky Derby was on that day. He smiled to himself as he laid his head back again.
"Now here are the good people."
