For the most part, TJ had kept away from Kevin, not interested in dealing with his alien bullshit. They went their separate ways on patrol and a bit later in the night, TJ ran to Kevin in a hurry.
"KEVIN," he yelled, "you need to get your eyes on this." He gently grabbed Kevin's arm and dragged him close to one of the carnival stall games. "Shh, be quiet, man, or it's gonna hear us," he said as they approached further. "You see it?" He pointed to the blow-up alien, and while it might seem like TJ was messing with him, his face read that he was deadly serious. "I'm telling you, dude, that thing moved."
"DUDE!!!" A gust of wind seemed to make the blow-up alien move in the wind and TJ jumped. "You saw it too, right? DUDE. DUDEEEEEEE. I don't wanna get probed, man."
Maybe it seemed like TJ was drunk, or maybe he was the crackhead that he kept telling Kevin not to be, but that couldn't be. He was not drunk or high while on duty, right?
