Chief Watts has a big…
All right, what do you get when you cross a mild-mannered law enforcement officer with an off-the-grid survivalist? Answer: Plenty of weekends shot to hell.
That’s the low-down on the hoe-down between Chief Darrell Watts and Travis Opal. (OK, I sound like a hick, but I just got out of prison for f**k’s sake.) Point is, Travis is always yanking the Chief’s chain. A bear kills a deer out on a trail – you’d think it was the x-rated version of Jaws 7.
In Ring #1: Chief Darrell Watts, a congenial dedicated cop who worked the hardscrabble streets of L.A. until he moved to Normal five years ago for a little peace and quiet. As luck would have it, he became Police Chief a year later after the former Chief was killed by a rabid deer. Tough break for the dead guy.
In Ring #2: Travis Opal, an OCD-type and de facto leader of the survivalist compound, living out at the old army barracks near Calgary Rock. Travis is always kickin’ up a dust storm. Some people like his attitude, a lot of people don’t.
Me? I’m just the narrator. I don’t like confrontation. It puts me off my nuts. Chief Watts has a big problem.
