Emberly knew that if she wanted to make a difference, she had to actually get up and do something. So, she put herself to work, journals down a few ideas trying to come up with something.
She wanted people to take more action for the Tamika case. After her encounter with police again and watching the police point a gun at her and Liam and knowing if they never known she was recording then she would have been dead, it made her want to work that much harder.
More people should care and they should be doing something, so it was time to spread the word.
Emberly was at Beverly Café sliding her hands dien the yellow Justice for Tamika poster that she had made smoothing it down the window before she turned around.
"Ok, where to next?"
"Look, there is not a store window from here to Crenshaw without a poster in it." Spencer says, "Why don't you take a break before you break?"
She couldn't do this alone so she called the one person she knew would help her and that was Spencer.
Of course Spencer probably wasn't the only person she knew would help her, but her mind went to Spencer first and that's who she called and Spencer agreed to help her.
"Because I feel like if I stop, I'm letting Tamika down." Emberly replies.
"I feel you but someone once told me you can't take of other if you don't take care of yourself." Spencer tells her.
"Well, that is really good advice, so what do you suggest I do?" Emberly asks.
She had been up all morning putting posters everywhere. In every store in Crenshaw then making her way to Beverly putting them up in any store. She hadn't taken no breaks, maybe it was a good idea for her to take a small break.
"I mean I'm throwin' my mom a surprise graduation party here tonight. You could take your mind off everything by helping me. Win-win." Spencer suggest.
Emberky crossed her arms over her chest looking at him suspiciously as she frowned. "And that way you don't have to plan the party yourself."
"Win again." Spencer says causing her to chuckle before her phone vibrated casuing to grab it from the table looking down at her phone looking at the test she had received from Olivia.
Spencer watched as she did so taking notice of the frown that came on her face as she looked down at her phone. "You good?"
"The cops who murdered Tamika were just fired." Emberly tells him looking up from her phone screen.

After Olivia told her about the news, Emberly headed back home to try to find Mark to talk to him. She knew he couldn't tell her information about the caee but maybe there was something she could do to help, if there was anything.
Emberly opend the front door, walking inside her house heading straight for the kitchen.
"Hey Mom, you know where Mark is?" Emebrly asked entering the kitchen where Jessica was making herself something to eat.
"He is at the office. Why? Did you need something?" Jessica asked turning around looking at her.
"Just wanted to talk to him about something."Emberly says.
"You mean the Tamika case, right?" Jessica asks causing Emberly to slightly frown, "Yeah, I heard and I'm assuming you heard that the cops were fired. And that's why you want to talk to him."
"Yes." Emberly sighs.
"You know he has this handle on his own, he doesn't need a Robin sidekick by his side." Jessica says.
