We Got To Get Out Of This Place

2-24-2019

Last night was not fun. Do not know what else to say about it. Sam’s commander called and said he had reports that Sam was becoming too attached to me. He told him to pack his things someone was coming to pick him up. They said Sam told him that he wasn’t attached. That it wasn’t an attachment but a fascination. That this is what he had gone to school and studied for. That this was the program he really wanted and needed to work on.  The commander told him it had already been decided.  Backup.

They said he was packing while cussing, and even screaming. Lisa said, she asked him what was wrong and he told her, they were taking him off the program. She said he was screaming cuss words as he throws a pile of papers across the room at the wall. He told her that he spent 800 hours studying this program, Angel and writing reports on how he could improve it. He screamed, “I am the best one to run this program.” Lisa said she called one of his buddies Mike who told her he had worked with Sam for years. She told Mike what was happening and that Sam was out of control throwing things against the wall and screaming. She said I think he is having a meltdown. Mike said that wasn’t like him and that he had never known him to have a meltdown. That in all the years he had worked with him, Sam had never lost it. Mike said he was always there for us when we lost it because he was the only one who kept his cool. Also, he couldn’t understand why he would lose it over this desk job program. Mike said he had been in some really bad situations and because Sam kept his cool we got out of messes we were in. He called Sam. Sam said he was quitting. I spent 800 hours working on getting this program. It’s not right they yank it out from under me just when I am getting started.  Mike replied you can’t quit this is your life. Come back to the base and we will talk about it. If you want to be reinstated I am sure everyone here will help you and back you up. You have always had our backs. He calmed down. Took his bags and sat at the kitchen table. By now I was listening to what was going on over there. But I wasn’t about to go over there.

Sam was sitting at the kitchen table still very upset when David showed up. David said, ”What are you doing here. You were supposed to be gone when I got here. I looked at the clock it was 8:30 pm. David should be at work. That’s what Sam said, ”aren’t you suppose to be at work.” David said, “I took off to find out whats going on with Angel. She’s mine you know.” “So you are the reason they took me off this program,” Sam replied. David smiled and said, “Most likely, she’s pregnant with my child and I heard you are messing with her.” Sam’s ride showed and he picked up his bags and went out the door.

Marcy said to David, ”I talked to Angel earlier and she said she wasn’t pregnant. She told me that you were talking on the phone to someone the other day and told them you wanted the child but not her.  You said she was too much responsibility. She said if we were going to have a child it would be a child of love and there was no love in that relationship. I called the doctor and he said if she was pregnant it could have been a false pregnancy if she was pregnant at all” David responded, “No pregnancy. They told me they would pay a lot for the baby and I need the money. There is no baby.”  “No, Marcy said.  Marcy went on to say,” I called the guy, the doctor who said was taking the baby and he was upset that there was no baby. He said they had already started on the nursery and picking out a nanny. They had all these plans. They were going to take the baby as soon as she had it so she couldn’t make off with it as she did with Jeff’s.” David was shocked and said, “ They were not going to let her keep the baby here at the house.”  “No David,” Marcy said. “I talked to some other people and they told me they were going to do experiments on the child to find out what makes it tick. One guy said he wouldn’t be surprised if they put electro’s in its head like a lab monkey.” “Not my baby,” David snapped back. “Yes, your baby, Marcy responded.  I was told once they paid you for it, it wasn’t going to be your baby anymore, it was going to be theirs to do with what they wanted.”  David said,” the guy told me once that when they paid me, it was theirs and I couldn’t see it, but I didn’t think they would realy do that. Where is Angel?” “She is at her house and she says she’s not coming over here anytime soon,” Marcy said.  David headed toward the bedroom saying, “I’ll just wait for her in the bed and laid down on the bed. I took off work tonight to see her, so I can wait.”

Marcy called, ”Davids here and he wants to see you. Are you coming over anytime soon? He wants to know if you are pregnant?” “Seriously,” I said. I told her I wasn’t going to sleep tonight. I have a lot of things I need to do and I am not pregnant. So he can leave.” Marcy said “Ok.”  Marcy relayed the message to David. Around midnight Lisa asked David to leave. She told him she had to get some sleep. He wouldn’t leave. She called the DOD and told the guy what was going on.  David would not leave and she needs to get some sleep. He called David and told him he had to leave. Just as he was leaving Sam came in. I think it was 1 am is. David looked at Sam and said, “Ok, you can have her but if I find out she is pregnant with my baby I will be back.” David left and shut the door behind him. Sam ran his fingers through his hair, shook his head and said, “So, if she is pregnant I would have to marry her to keep them from taking the baby.” “I guess so,” said Lisa.

Around 2:30 am I laid down at my house thinking about what I had heard. It rang in my ears. The phase,  I will have to marry her. No woman wants to hear that, much less, they are taking your child for science experiences. I thought to myself I have got to get out of this place. I started humming the song by The Animals, ‘We got to get out of this place’, and fell asleep.
