IN THE TALL GRASS (2019) dir. Vincenzo Natali

[spittingoutthebloodandscreaming]

''My Chemical Romance was on Conan. They had rings in their lips and eyebrows, their hair done up in spikes, but beneath the white pancake makeup and black lipstick they looked like a collection of chubby kids who had probably been in their high school marching band a few years earlier. They leaped around, falling into each other, as if the stage beneath them were an electrified plate. They played frantically, pissing themselves with fear. Jude liked them. He wondered which of them would die first.''

-Heart-Shaped box, Joe Hill.

First - J. Hill (Blue Bloods)

summary: the first case after you and joe break up doesn't go as planned.

"Raegan, can you explain why the hell you dragged me out into the freezing cold at the buttcrak of dawn to look at a dead body? Isn't that your job?"

"Good morning to you too."

I rolled my eyes as I gave Baez a quick hug. I always liked Maria as a partner for Danny after Jackie left she was just the sweetest and also a great friend of mine.

"Good morning Daniel."

"Where's the other half of your dynamic duo?"

I shrugged.

"Not here yet obviously."

Danny gave me a weird look, but I just shruggred it off as Joe walked up to us. Danny was one of the only people who knew that Joe and I were dating because if our relationship was out to everyone, we'd most likely have to get new partners.

"Sorry guys, got stuck in traffic what do you got?"

Danny again looked between Joe and I and gave me a weird look, but I just shook my head in response.

"Got called out around 4 am to a gang shootout only to find this one dead when we got here."

Danny lifted the tarp that was thrown over the dead body and revealed none other than the head of the gang which we had been trying to build a case against for selling guns.

"Jesus."

"Was this worth getting out here in the freezing cold at the buttcrack of dawn?"

I rolled my eyes as I bent down closer to the body.

"This is gonna lead to retaliation."

"No doubt so you two better get to it."

I nodded.

"Thank you for calling us Danny."

Danny nodded.

"Of course. I know how long you two have been working on this. Now I'm gonna go back to the precinct and enjoy a warm cup of coffee."

I shook my head as Danny and Maria walked off and I looked up at Joe for the first time since he got here. His hair was a mess and bags under his eyes matched mine and I swallowed the lump in my throat.

"I should go back undercover. See what's going on."

"No."

I furrowed my eyebrows.

"What?"

"I mean last time you went under you almost got killed. I'm not gonna let that happen again on my watch."

"I'll be fine Joe."

"You can't know that."

"I'm not arguing with you about this here. Let's split up and go interview people."

I walked off and ran a hand through my hair as I swallowed the lump in my throat. After multiple interviews I caught up with Joe and told him I had got nowhere and that I was heading back to the precinct.

"I've got a few more people to talk to. I'll meet you there."

I nodded and headed to my car and drove myself to the precinct. When I walked inside, I went to the file room and quickly pulled the old file.

I flipped through my old file as I walked back to my desk, and once I reached my desk, I saw Danny sitting there sipping a coffee.

"Raegan what are you doing here?"

Danny pushed himself up and smiled.

"Brought you a cup of coffee."

I nodded as I sat down and took a hold of the warm cup of coffee that sat on my desk.

"You drove halfway across town in lunch time traffic to come bring me a cup of coffee?"

Danny nodded as he sat back down on the chair beside my desk.

"Or do you want to know what's going on with Joe and I?"

"Guilty."

I sighed as I leaned back in my chair.

"He broke things off."

Danny nodded.

"I'm sorry to hear that. You two seemed to be happy together."

I shrugged.

"Danny what are you doing here?"

Danny looked back at Joe has he walked over to his desk which sat next to mine.

"Just brought this one a cup of coffee since I dragged her out in the freezing cold this morning."

Joe nodded.

"Smart man."

"I'll leave you two to it. Call me if you need some expert advice."

I rolled my eyes as Danny walked off and I looked over at Joe.

"Anything?"

He shook his head and I nodded before I looked back down at the file that was sitting on my desk.

After a whole day of sitting on the known houses and hangouts and finding nothing, I was ready to go home until I got there and just sat in the dark. Next thing I knew I was back at the precinct reading our old case files.

"What are you still doing here?"

I looked back over my shoulder at our captain.

"I couldn't sleep."

He nodded.

"Any leads on your case?"

"Not yet. I think I should go back undercover."

He nodded.

"Did you discuss this with Hill?"

I nodded.

"I'll sign off on it in the morning then."

I nodded and pulled out my phone. I opened my text messages and clicked on Joe's name. It was three in the morning and I wanted to tell him I missed him but what I should tell him was that I was going back undercover but I just closed my phone and headed back home to try and get some sleep.

I got to the precinct extra early to meet with my liaison officer and get ready to go undercover.

I was back at my old stomping grounds before Joe even rolled into the precinct and I was glad. It didn't take long for me to get acquainted with someone I knew from my previous time undercover.

"Angel? Angel Knowles is that you?"

I chuckled as I got a hug from the one of the leaders of the gang we were chasing.

"Were you been girl?"

"Jail for a bit than rehab. Condition for my release, it's bullshit. "

He nodded.

"So what's going on with you guys?"

"You didn't hear?

I shook my head.

"Dino was murdered."

"Shit."

"Yeah. Things are gonna go down. Tonight."

I nodded.

"Where?"

"I've said too much already."

"Oh come on Freddie, it's me."

"Yo Freddie."

I furrowed my eyebrows. I recognized that voice from somewhere.

"Who's this?"

"This is Angel. We go way back. She just got out of jail."

I slowly turned around and I swallowed my spit as I saw the guy standing in front of me. Armando Flores. I arrested him a few weeks earlier. Shit.

"You're that bitch."

"You two know each other?"

"She's a cop bro."

"You must be trippin' man, I ain't no cop."

"Yeah, I've known Angel a long time. She's not a cop. Trsut me bro."

He looked between Freddie and I before he slowly nodded.

"We need you outside Freddie."

He nodded.

"I'll catch you later Freddie."

He nodded and I took a step forward only for the other guy to grab my arm.

"I'm watching you."

"Enjoy the show."

I pulled my arm away and walked off and out of the house. I ran a hand through my hair as I walked down the street trying to get as far away from that house as quickly as possible.

A few weeks had went by and I was finally starting to get into the inner circle again, much to Armando's distaste.

It wasn't until one night when I was sitting in the living room with Freddie, Armando and a few prostitutes that Armando started to ask questions and obviously he didn't like my answers.

"I told you she's a cop bro."

"What's wrong with you? You need to let that go, you must be confusing her with someone else."

"Nah, her name is (Y/N) (Y/L/N) and she's a cop."

"You know what? I'm not gonna sit here and take this bullshit. I'm out of here. I'll see you around Freddie."

I quickly left the house and I quixkly took out my phone and dialled Joe's number.

"You've reached Joe Hill. Leave me a message."

"Joe, it's me. Armando Florres. 1768 fourtheen avenue...."

I hadn't even made it down the street when I was yanked by the back of my hair and my head hit the pavement hard and everything went black.

When I came to there was a gun held to my head as blood dripped down my face. My head was pounding, and my eyes were heavy, but I forced myself to stay awake, praying that Joe would somehow find me.

"I knew you were a cop."

I swallowed harshly as the temple of the gun was jammed into the side of my head. My eyes were heavy and all I could think about was Joe's word telling me that I shouldn't go undercover and how if I ever saw him again that I would have to tell him he was right.

The car we were in came to a halt and my eyes shot open as I was dragged out of the car. I was dragged down a dark alley and was shoved down onto the ground and all I pictured was Joe's smiling face and telling me how much he loved me. If I was going to die today that was the last thing I wanted to remember.

"It's over Armando."

Joe.

"Detective Hill. Nice of you to join our little party."

"Let her go."

"Nah I think I'll keep your little girlfriend in my sights."

I lifted my head and locked eyes with Joe's as tear slide down my cheeks. The next thing I heard was a gunshot and I closed my eyes. I realized that I wasnt the one hit when Joe ran past me.

I let my head fall down onto the pavement and stopped fighting. Joe was here now.

"(Y/N/N). Stay awake for me."

I heard more footsteps and assumed it was Joe's back up.

"I've got her Detective Hill."

"Come cuff him; I'll get her."

"Got it, Detective Hill."

I was almost out when I felt myself being lifted up into someone's arms.

"Come on, stay awake for me."

I opened my eyes slightly as Joe pushed some hair out of my face.

"Joe.."

"I'm here baby. Always."

My eyes went dark and I don't remember anything that happened next until I woke up in the hospital. I blinked a few times to let my eyes adjust to the light and looked around.

"Joe?"

I extended my arm to try and shake him awake but that only resulted in me yelling out in pain, which coincidentally made him wake up.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Tears welled up in my eyes as Joe got up from the chair he was sitting in and laid his hand on either side of my face.

"You're okay."

"You were right, I shouldn't have gone under cover."

"You're safe now that's all that matters."

I nodded, and we both turned our head when somebody cleared their throat. Joe dropped his hand from my face, and we both looked over to see Commissioner Reagan and Lieutnant Gormley standing in the doorway.

"How are you feeling Detective?"

"I'll live."

Sid nodded.

"No doubt about it. She's one of the thoughest cops I know Commissioner."

He nodded.

"Anything you need you let us know okay?"

I nodded.

"I'll let you get some rest."

"Thank you Commissioner."

He nodded and both him and Lieutnant Gormley left and I looked over at Joe. There was so much that I wanted to tell him, but I chose two simple words.

"I'm sorry."

Joe nodded.

"We can talk about it later, right now just focus on getting better."

I nodded and closed my eyes as Joe planted a soft kiss on my forehead.

"I'm really glad you're okay."

"I'm really glad you found me."

Joe nodded as there was a knock on the door of my hospital room and I gave Danny a weak smile.

"Hey you."

"Hey."

"I'm gonna go grab a cup of coffee. Give you two a minute."

I nodded as Joe patted my hand before he walked out of my hospital room and headed down the hall.

"He was worried sick about you."

I nodded.

"I regret not telling him."

Danny nodded.

"He'll get over that, don't worry about it."

I nodded.

"Thanks for coming to check in Danny."

He nodded.

"As much of a pain in my butt that you are, you're still something of a little sister to me."

I forced out a smile.

"I second that big bro."

"Alright alright, get some rest."

I nodded and got as comfortable as I could and dozed off to sleep.

That is pretty much what occupied most of my time for the next week while I laid in a hospital bed and Joe hunted the people who put a hit out on my head. He had been in and out for a few minutes here and there but nothing really other than that. He wasn't even there the day I got discharged.

"Take care of yourself, Detective. I don't want to see you back here."

I smiled at my favourite nurse as she handed me a bag of my personal items.

"I'll try my best."

"You got a drive or do you want me to call for one?"

"I've got her Patsy."

The nurse smiled as she looked between Joe and I.

"I'll see you two around."

I gave her a small smile as she walked out of the room before I looked up at Joe.

"You didn't have to do this, I could of gotten a cab or something."

"We're still partners remember?"

I smiled and nodded.

"Let me take that."

Joe took the bag out of my hands and we walked down the hallway of the hospital and out to Joe's car.

After a week in the hospital it was nice to finally be out and see something else than the same four walls.

Joe drove me home and walked me to my apartment and for a second as I closed the door behind us it felt like old times.

"You want some coffee?"

"I'm good."

I nodded as Joe kicked off his boots and I furrowed my eyebrows at him.

"I'm not gonna leave you alone you're first night home from the hospital and especially not since there is still a hit out on your head."

"The detail sitting outside my building and the cops sitting in the lobby and at the end of hall isn't enough for you?"

"You're my girl, I'm staying."

I opened my mouth to say something but I didn't know what to say so I closed it and walked to the kitchen.

"I'm gonna make myself a sandwich you want one?"

"(Y/N)."

I swallowed the lump in my throat and nodded as I turned around to face Joe.

"It's bad enough that I have to see you everyday at work, but when you say stuff like that how am I ever supposed to move on?"

Joe sighed.

"I'm sorry."

"You should go. I'll be fine.".

Joe nodded as he headed towards the front door and pulled on his boots and I turned my back to him and swallowed the lump in my throat.

"Fuck this."

I furrowed my eyebrows and turned back around as Joe walked over to me and quickly planted his lips on mine. His hand rested on either side of my face and I rested mine on his waist.We pulled away from each other and Joe sighed.

"I don't want you to move on."

"Then why did you end things?"

"Cause I know how hard you had to fight to get your job, there were already rumours running around the squad about us I couldn't risk anybody actually seeing us together."

I nodded.

"So what; this was a goodbye kiss?"

"This was I missed you, and I'm so fucking glad you're alive kiss."

I nodded.

"You know if we out our relationship we probably won't be able to work together anymore."

Joe nodded.

"I know that, but I love you (Y/N)."

I smiled.

"I love you too Joe."

He nodded and placed a soft kiss on my forehead.

"So what now?"

Joe smiled.

"Now we eat ice cream and watch some shitty reality tv and worry about the rest tomorrow."

I chuckled as Joe took ahold of my hand and led us to the couch. I curled up in his arms and after the last few days I've had this is what I needed.

We spoke to our captain the next day and he grumbled something along the lines that Joe was a pain in the ass to any other partner and since it wasn't strictly prohibited, we could continue being partners as long as we weren't getting married anytime soon.

Folk Song Friday

Jesus Christ Woody Guthrie, 1944-45

"Jesus Christ" is a song written by woody guthrie in 1940, set to the traditional American folk song of "The Ballad of Jesse James", which started to appear in the 19th century. I will probably make a separate post for its history.

The interesting thing about "Jesus Christ" is that Jesus Christ in the story is depicted as a robinhood-like figure for the toilers and the downtrodden who is killed by the police. Like many other working class and socialist American folk music, Jesus Christ here is emphasized as a worker and a radical. This is different from earlier American socialist music, such as the music of Joe Hill in the 1910s, which often depicted religion, religious figures, and religious mythology in a distinctly negative light. "Casey Jones The Union Scab" hires Casey as a scab in heaven since the angels are on strike, implying that worker exploitation exists in heaven as well. And "Long haired Preachers" which is just a negative song about The Salvation Army and Christian charity as a whole, also I love it. I think both forms of rhetoric within these two types of American leftist folk are interesting and worth listening to. I really like this song !
