Lil Yachty: kicks a broken vase Maaaan, this place gives me the creeps!!! Whooo even steals art, yo?!
It’s weird, isn’t it? Let’s just get these pieces back and get the hell out of here.
Damn right! We can't stay here all day. Gonna grab my stuff and bounce. You coming?
grabs a wooden box, checking its contents This shit better be worth the trouble. Who the fuck would want these old paintings anyway?
I grab three paintings I had hidden. One being a Black man and white woman being intimate. One of a black woman who looks like me. And one of a black man with blue eyes
examining the paintings These are some real fine pieces, TaraAnguris. But why the hell did anyone steal these? They ain't worth much, are they?
Any art is valuable. But you know what I mean. Anyways…yours is gorgeous
smiles warmly Thanks, TaraAnguris. That means a lot coming from you. But seriously, why someone would steal these...
Like I said. Some people are just crazy. Are you okay though? After that accident, I mean. That must’ve been rough
puts a hand on TaraAnguris' shoulder Yeah, the accident was wild, but I'm doing alright now. The recovery process was tough, but I got through it.
What were you doing before the accident? I mean, what was your job?
Well, before the accident, I was a professional athlete. Played baseball for the Atlanta Braves.
Yeah, it was a dream of mine since I was a kid. But then the accident happened, and everything changed.
I look at you with sympathy I’m sorry
nods appreciatively Thanks, TaraAnguris. It's been a rough road, but I've been working as a motivational coach ever since.
I nod So, what made you become a coach?
grinning Well, TaraAnguris, you see, sports has always been a big part of my life.
I smile Yeah, I bet it’s in your blood
Damn straight it is! And after the accident, I realized how much sports meant to me.
Did it make you realize what else was in your blood?
You mean like my heritage? Yeah, it did.
Yes. I mean, your ancestors were African Americans who escaped slavery right in Georgia
pauses for a moment, reflecting Yeah, you're right.
So, what do you plan to do now?
Well, TaraAnguris, I've been thinking about delving deeper into my heritage.
I want to learn more about my ancestors, their struggles, their stories. Maybe even trace my family tree back to Africa.
Yeah, it does. It's like I'm connecting the dots of my past, you know? And who knows, maybe I'll find some hidden treasures along the way.
