(*Sigh* The rumor is true... this is just a product of my imagination.)

"The Event"
And so I shut my mouth up and watched Frantic Rob figure out how to keep my sister safe...
"Oh my god... oh my god," my sister's boyfriend, Rob, mumbled over and over as he shoved a neon orange life vest into a 36 x 22 x 22" bulk cargo container; his hands shaking, lips trembling.
"Fuck! The life saver!" He yelled when he remembered the other important item we went to buy just an hour ago. He ran at a speed of light in the garage and when he came back... Well, let just say he managed to squeeze a fully-inflated, heavy-duty swimming tube into the box. "Kristen needs to be safe!" He reasoned. He's got a point!

"Tay, where the fuck are the liquorish and hot cheetos?" He asked me, opening the grocery bags like a man whose sanity has left him. "You know Kristen loves those. Please tell me you didn't already eat them!"
"They're there, Rob," I responded with a sigh. I stood up and helped him look for the items.
"No! I can do this. Go bring in the bottled water from the car. Bring in two cases...No! Bring all the cases! We bought five, right?" He asked me but he wasn't really talking to me. Damn, he didn't even look at me.
So, I got up quietly, grabbed the dolly and brought in all five cases of Dasani. Don't ask me why I did it; but at that time all I could do was help the man my sister loves like crazy fit the five cases of bottled water in the cargo box.
When that was done, he went upstairs to their bedroom to collect more stuff to ship to my sister. "Help me here, Tay!" He yelled, his voice a little muffled. I looked up and all I could do was shake my head. The sight of Rob carying a bunch of quilt, blankets and pillows in his arms was comical. The man was on a mission. I cannot laugh at him.

Ah God, no! I thought. I hope he's not thinking what I think he's thinking. I have to cut the cord here. "Rob, you are not shipping Jella in the box!"
"Why not? He'll keep Kristen company," he reasoned with the sound of finality in his voice.
I got worried when he was suddenly quiet.
I saw him nod but he refused to look at me. He, then, carefully placed the wrapped, framed photo into the cargo box, giving it a kiss before tucking it between two pillows.
"NO!” He snapped. I, however, caught him wiped the tears in his eyes with his knuckles.
“What? Your sister’s life is in danger and you tell me not to worry!” He raised his voice but I kept my calm.
“Hurricane Earl is not going to hit New Orleans.” I reminded him flatly. “Earl is not a Katrina, Rob. According to the news that WE BOTH read, it’s going to affect parts of the East Coast.”
“But you don’t know that, Tay! I will not just sit here and do nothing!”
Cricket…. Cricket… Cricket…
“Rob?... Rob?”
“OH MY GOD! YOU ARE RIGHT, TAY! MY BABY’S GOING TO DROWN!”
“Where are you going?” I asked.
“I’m going to save my Kristen and if I’m too late, I’m going to drown with her!” HE WAS NOT KIDDING!
“I don’t give a fuck, Tay. My baby needs me and I’m out of here!”
“How did you know?” I asked, quite impressed that she called this. I received a text message from her this morning and asked me to help Rob today. I didn't know what she meant then until now.
“Well, as soon as I heard about a hurricane lurking and Kristen being in New Orleans, it wasn’t that hard to figure out,” Stephanie laughed. “Okay, Tay. I already called Kristen to expect Rob tonight. Do you need help to move the cargo box… errrr…. somewhere?”
