so, I know no one who owns property in Sarasota county. I get all my cash on hand (only second day of the trip right) and give the bail bondsman $500.00 cash. I have no money now for the rest of the trip.
He tells me if I'll date him he will sign the papers and Carol can get out of jail. Why ME??? I agree. Uggh.
He gives me his corvette for the rest of the trip lol. Only so he can keep track of me I guess.
I get Carol out of jail. The next day we go to some drive through bank (another new one to me as we didn't have that in Canada then) and she hands the teller a cheque and gives me $200 cash. Good now I can eat!!!
A couple of weeks later we fly home. NO I didn't have to sleep with the guy. I met the girls at Tampa airport but struggled to say where as none of us remembered anything about landing lol.
I think everything is fine. Little did I know Carol was not allowed to leave the United States until after her court hearing. Ah well she got on the plane and flew home.
6 months later I was staying at Carols house between apartments for a bit. Her mother comes home and is unhappy with me. She always loved me so I'm not sure what the deal is. I had sent $50 bucks down with her to buy me a ring I wanted but didn't have the cash as I had to bail Carol out. I ask her if she got the ring. Her mom freaked at me and said "I cannot believe the nerve of you asking after all you have done" HUH? I ask Carol wth? is going on? She doesn't speak. Her mom says "well I know you all got busted in Florida and it's all your fault cause it was your weed" WHAT? I'm the bad guy? Carol made up this entire story cause she got caught by her parents.
So Carol forged the cheque her brother had sent down to the Grandmother and that was the cash she gave me. I didn't know she was forging any cheques.
Nice 'friend' eh? Not only was it my cash that got her out, I had to hang out with the bail bondsman for the week, and she throws ME under the damned bus?
LOL so...the moral of MY story is...this is why I traveled ALONE for many years afterwards!
