Things happen, part 2

I was watching a movie in my computer (The English Teacher with Julianne Moore, a 2013 film  presented at the Tribeca Festival, and I quite enjoyed). It had just finished watching it when I heard a helicopter flying overhead, which happens once in a while. I wondered what it was about..the sound was getting closer and noisier so I went outside, and the  bright searchlights were making my front yard quite bright, it downed on me they were looking for someone or something right in my neighborhood, so I went inside and locked the doors.

I kept looking thru the window and pretty soon I see police cars driving down the street. And surprise! they stopped in front of Robert's house. The helicopter had the search lights illuminating the house. It was almost like daytime although it was past midnight.

Marv woke up and I filled him on what was going on, he got some water and went back to bed. Lulu and I stayed up watching. I had parked my Mustang across the street at John and Evelyn's driveway because Wednesday is street sweeping day and they are on vacation. Then I saw some of the police checking some cars, so I decided to go out and talk to the police. I went out and asked what was going on? they said nothing to worry about, so I told them the red Mustang was mine, they said OK thanks. I asked again what's happening, and they said nothing is going on, I sassily replied..yeah right! and went back inside.


After a while, they got a guy arrested and put in one of the patrol cars, then a girl, they put her in another patrol car. Then out com es Robert pretty excited, gesturing wildly at the police. He had a car parked in his driveway covered with a blue tarp and the police took the cover off and some discussion ensued.  This all lasted for about one more hour, around 2AM they left the people out of the patrol cars, and the police left and everybody went back home. And Lulu and I went to sleep.

This morning, a tow truck came to get the car that was under the blue tarp. Robert and the girl and another men came outside. I crossed the street to get the Mustang and called Robert to come talk to me which he did. I said hey Robert what the hell is going on? he said, well we got some excitement last night, I said no kidding. He told me that his business is doing car auction which is why I always see different cars around, and one car got into an accident and was reported stolen. So the police came to check it blah blah (I personally think they could have done it with a lot less fanfare) I don't know if that was the reason, but that's what he told me. I said the neighborhood was worried about the going ons, and there were lots of rumors going around. He asked me what kind of rumors, and I said, well they think drugs are involved, and maybe porno film making..he laughed and  said OMG I'm famous!!! then he assured me there was nothing going on, just a  bunch of misunderstandings.

So we'll see. It is interesting to me that nobody ever gets arrested! so who knows!
It sure was an exciting night!

PS The man was wearing shorts and a tank top, he looked fine!
