Major Events
'''Major Events in TJ Walker's life. '''

Fall Out With BBMC
The club has always distrusted the police but TJ, due to being Barry's adopted son, was the only police officer tolerated on their turf and they even formed bonds. TJ often visited the area and tagged his name, to the annoyance of the club members. On the 3rd January 2022 this changed, as after a shootout with the police department BBMC decided to hunt for cops. They found TJ, kidnapped him and after an argument Dundee gave the order to shoot him. Jean Paul took the shot, the members of BBMC (Chain, Junior, Collin and Pez) watched. TJ was shot four times in the head, he was dead for three minutes and got brought back to life in the hospital. He had to stay in the ICU for multiple days.

This cut deep, especially since Barry had given an order in the past not to harm TJ if it isn't necessary for a job. Additionally the club didn't tell Barry directly after it happened, Barry had to learn the truth from Chatterbox and Emma Gaine.

The break of trust, the trauma and medical complications did take a toll on TJ. He separated himself from his own father, since it was Barry's club that executed him point-blank.

Leaving the PD
After TJ got shot he had a long period of inactivity in the PD. He had to do physical therapy, toyed with the thought of taking drugs and the incident motivated him to think about leaving the police department. After getting cleared medically he was unsure if he would even want to continue to be a police officer anymore. TJ tried during this time to talk to Baas multiple times, the Chief of Police was unfortunately always very busy and postponed the meetings repeatedly for over 25 days. Baas had been worried but because of his job he had too much on his plate and didn't take it as that important.

In this period TJ talked to the members of BBMC, searching for a reason for his execution. During those conversations the members of the club started to see TJ more as an actual person, and not just a cop and TJ started to get to know the club better. The one thing that was throughout every conversation was that the club shot him because he was a cop. TJ started to see their side and his anger slowly dissipated, leaving him missing his family.

The interactions with BBMC since TJ met them have been a big part of his motivation to even wake up. His job often left him lonely, with no one to talk to. The isolation on shifts, being stuck at officer level, the repeated criticism of his work by other officers, the fact that he was getting shot at all the time just because of his profession and the dissatisfaction with superior officers made him continuously discontented with his job.

Through the talks over weeks with BBMC (and the lack of conversations with Baas), TJ came to the conclusion that he had to choose between his family and his profession as a police officer. After giving it time and heavily considering all of his options, Walker ultimately resigned from the PD on the 28th January, 2022.

Joining BBMC
Even before TJ left the PD, Pez told him: “Let’s be honest. Look at you right now: You’re not a cop. You never were. You’re a criminal playing dress-up.”

In the end TJ chose his family over his job. Barry talked to the club members one on one and BBMC agreed to prospect TJ if he proved his loyalty.

Blooding in: He had to shoot a cop in the Billabong, execution style, to prove himself and to show that he was not a cop anymore. Just hours after resigning from the PD, BBMC kidnapped Misa Price and brought her to the Billabong. People noticed her abduction and notified the police. This led to Bundy following into the Billabong while other officers started to position outside. Bundy tried to negotiate but TJ declared "I chose my family, Bundy. And this is my family." and shot Misa, incapacitating her. If TJ would've hesitated one second, BBMC would've shot him. The situation led to a police wipe. BBMC kept their word and made TJ a Prospect of the Club.

Becoming A Criminal
TJ completely skipped the Hangaround phase and was thrown into the deep end of a life full of crime. The club was very supportive, they taught him new stuff and TJ fit right into the club life. On the PD side, his former colleagues couldn't (and still can't) comprehend how TJ could join the club that shot him just a few weeks prior. In general, TJ does not regret the decision he made and he has told multiple people that he is happier than he has ever been in his life.

After the blooding in, TJ had a big warrant and was the target of HVTU. The club didn't baby sit him, it was more the opposite: One of his first crimes was participating in a big meth run. Robbing a bank came after that. On the 8th of February, exactly 11 days after joining BBMC, he got caught while doing a boost. His prison sentence was 499 months and with a fine of $64,075.

Hours after his release from prison he tried to work legal jobs with Jesse to chip off his debt. He got pulled over by Brian Knight, who recognized him and requested back-up. Four other police units joined the traffic stop, including Pred. Pred and Knight tried to escalate running a red light to reckless endangerment and reckless driving, which would include a prison sentence. TJ got tazed and had to break cuffs but managed to escape the situation.

This led to his second warrant just hours after he got released from his first one. Later in the day Pred, Gunner and Wrangler baited BBMC multiple times for a shootout on their turf, the situation escalated and BBMC got shot down. TJ tried to de-escalate both situations several times but it always fell on deaf ears on the police side. The situation was frustrating for TJ and he commented that he can now understand why people like Dundee are the way they are.

Finding His Place in the Club
TJ is continuously building good relationships with his club. They love to nag him like a brother and TJ is chiming into the teasing. It seems like he has no remorse shooting his former colleagues for a job or while defending their turf. He keeps up the banter with police officers but doesn't shy away from lying to protect the club.

TJ was learning how to act as a club member and what it means to be a Prospect. TJ is no stranger to the club anymore, he's fully included into club activities and the inner workings of the club. He had a few discussions with High Command about following club orders and not being a "yes man", challenging their opinions and trying to find the best solution for the club as a whole.

Additionally TJ was learning what it means to be a mentor for a Hangaround. Damien became his responsibility very suddenly and since TJ didn't have a Hangaround Phase himself, he was struggling to give the best advice to Damien. After some difficulties and conversations, Damien got moved to Pez' Hangaround. Eventually Damien stepped away from the club fully.

Despite some struggles, TJ found a home in the club. He is dating Jesse Reed, the Sergeant of Arms of the club. They're living together in a house in the Billabong and are a solid, strategic team in fights.

The Way Forward
TJ was trying to find his niche and was trying to find out how to be useful to the club. He was working with Michael Simone, was his middle man and distributed bombs for him. TJ also started to make connections with the Lifers in Bolingbroke and gaining access to Molotovs, information, Ketamine and Burner Phones through that. He is also always working on building connections, subsequently being on the phone all the time and never stopping talking to people.

TJ is hardworking and essentially built Benson's Backalley Motors up from the ground. He's responsible for the finances and takes great pride in the well-running business. He's also working on setting up other businesses for the BBMC and himself to secure money even if the club should be at war with another gang or club. His diligent work wasn't going unnoticed in the club and especially the High Command was very appreciative of it.

Jordan's murder hit TJ hard and brought his own dark side to the surface again. TJ wanted to avenge the man he saw as brother, and he was not shying away from threats, torture or murder to achieve his goal. In the end the club executed the serial killer that murdered Jordan.

Pez leaving the club made TJ step up even more in the role of Treasurer, even without being a fully patched Member. He is currently managing the money side of thing in the club. By trying to distract Bundy from Jordan's murder case, TJ discovered a lot of corruption within the PD, especially around Jeffrey Bundy. TJ seems to greatly dislike the corruption and took matters in his own hand, for example by executing Louis Bloom and blowing his car up.

Becoming an Assassin for Death
Dundee had a Deal with Norman Bones to bring chaos into the world. As long as Dundee did that, he would continue to live. But with following this path, the club got hurt more and more, until it escalated and the club shot Dundee. Dundee ended up in Purgatory, with BBMC hurt and not knowing what to do. Collin made a Deal with Norman to get Dundee back.

TJ disagreed with Collins deal, so he made another Deal with Norman: Saying he would kill people for Norman as long as they're not in the club or associated with the club and that the Deal with Collin was now off the table. Norman accepted the new Deal.

In the future, Norman will bring Dundee back from Purgatory, without any memories of Norman. On the flip side, if TJ won't follow his word and won't kill the person Norman asks for, Norman will kill TJ. Norman's first move was to show TJ Purgatory and to ask TJ to choose one person he is friends with and bring that name to Norman. TJ chose Sam Baas, because he still holds the Chief of Police in high regard. Norman accepted the Name and TJ had to execute him.

Changes
TJ became finally a Patched Member of the BBMC on the 18th of September 2022. After his Patching, TJ drove up to the spot where he had seen Dundee last and showed to him his new Patch. Dundee was one of the first ones to be convinced that TJ would be a good fit for a Patched Member in the club.

Since TJ became a criminal, he had been racing here and there. After a few months he declared one of his personal goals to be good at racing, so he trained and kept racing more and more. One day after his Patching in the club, on the 19th of September 2022, TJ became a part of the Racing Crew Prism.

On the 24th of September 2022, TJ, with the help of BBMC, kidnapped Baas and brought him to Norman. They executed him at the place where they shot Dundee. Norman brought Baas into Purgatory and TJ will not be criminally charged with executing Baas.

Michael Simone faked his death. TJ got informed of Michael's supposed death on the 1st October. He offered Michael's brother, Nick, his support. TJ is no longer working as a bomb connect, he has commented though that Kayn Larp is currently teaching him how to make bombs.
