Burt and Robert were working up this morning’s surveillance report of the groups. A special courier delivered all the videotape from all the campaig...n stops that the five candidates had made. They had been smart enough to videotape all the protesters.They were working on putting all the images into a facial recognition program that could be used at the convention center. The cameras would scan everyone coming into the convention center from the limited access lines. Anyone who had been involved. Out of the corner of my eye i thought i saw Frank looking back and forth between me and the TV.A few minutes Frank said, “Great choice, Terry. She’s amazing.” i was feeling way more relaxed. i was nearly finished with my beer and was gettin a little buzz. i have always been really shy, ever since i can remember, and drinking and getting high always makes me loosen up in social situations. i think that’s the main reason i do it.i turned towards Frank as i drained my beer. I said, “That was. She thinks shes better than me at playing the trombone, I lied. Oh, but you said they should come to you. What did that mean, he asked obviously confused. Oh.. People who need help, that they should come to me. My lies were getting worse. Alrighty then, he stood up. Whats your name? I was bummed. We had two electives with eachother and he didnt know my name? I hope he was just trying to be nice. Call me Tony. Im Joseph. He said extending his hand. I fought the urge to say that I knew that. Paul wasn't getting out of this one. "We have to go," he finally stated,hoping to get away from her.It worked, somewhat. We still had to take some pictures, and I had to makeher promise to send copies to my mother. Then it was back into the limo.The ride to Alfredo's, where we had a reservation for dinner, was short andsomewhat awkward. Ronan still seemed interested in my connection to Sarah,but he definitely had nothing in common with Paul. It was up to Emily andme to keep the conversation.
