At the Office
Franklin , Tennessee - BVD News was with Franklin's Mayor Miller to visit Franklin's administrator Jay Johnson
Jay : C'mon in , have'nt seen you in a while BVD. Franklin Police treating you well ? Heh Heh Heh
BVD : OH , everything is fine , just fine , sir.
Miller : We were talking about Headley....
Jay : What's there to talk about. I got him into the country club down in Alabama to get him out of the public's eye and in 6 months , he will be back on the job with all this behind him.
BVD : May I ask what that folder is on your desk ?
Jay : This is Metro's file on Headley.
BVD : " ? " How did you get that ?
Jay : From one of the investigaters. He lives here in Franklin and I asked to see it , and so , here it is.
BVD : How do you do things like this ?
Jay : Simple , we are friends and he only pays 5 dollars a year in property taxes.
BVD : What ?
JAY : I am The City of Franklin. I can not be voted out of this office or be fired. Do you understand that ? Since I am The City of Franklin , I can do ass I please.
Miller : Um , the news has been saying Headley had thousands of very strong pain pills......
Jay : Hey , LorTabs are just aspirin on steroids. Look here. Jay opens a drawer to his desk.
Miller : Why do you have 11 , 12 , 13 bottles of Tylenol in your desk ?
Jay : It's not Tylenol , it's LorTabs. I only have it here on hand for medicinal purposes. You want a bottle ?
Miller : I'm good. Thanks just the same.
Jay : BVD ?
BVD : Just like that ?
Jay : Yes , just like that or you can pay me 15 dollars a pill.
BVD : What's the difference ?
Jay : It's just the way things work around here. How do you want to play my game ?
BVD : How do you know Headley will be out of trouble within 6 months ?
Jay : Remember a while back , Headley was confronted about the man hours and money spent looking into a moonshine still ?
BVD : Yes , I do remember. There was a detective Beard saying it was no big deal and no one wanted anyone to be arrested over it.
Jay : Many prominent people around here got their medicine from that still. Those very same people got pissed at Headley and they set out to get him. This whole thing will calm down. You'll see.
BVD and Miller are walking in the hall
BVD : How can he be selling like that ? Franklin's police have got to know what he's doing.
Miller : Johnson runs the department , that's why.
BVD : What's the chief doing ?
Miller : BVD , it's like this. The chief of police position is just a few fill in the blanks on some piece of paper in personnel. Moore walked into the job because he's connected around here. Besides , most of the police officers here owe their careers to him.
BVD : How's that ?
Miller : When a complaint is made against an officer , Jay just sweeps it under the rug. Think about it. If Franklin police arrest him , just think what he can come back at them with.
BVD : So , Johnson is the chief of police around here.
Miller : Actually no. He's the owner / operator.
Jay : C'mon in , have'nt seen you in a while BVD. Franklin Police treating you well ? Heh Heh Heh
