Another Stakeout! (an entry from 3 days ago)

I'm typing this at 10 mintues to 3:00 in the morning. Do you remember me telling you about the guy that got arrested at our building with 5 cop cars closing down our block and the helicopter overhead? Well, about a half hour ago I was awakened by a loud noise and some shouting out on the street. I thought i heard someone say the word "trapped" so i was thinking there was an accident. I was freaking out so I woke up D and we ran to the window. There were two cops standing by our side gate talking about a guy that had just jumped the fence into our back alley. We listened for about 5 minutes and then D decides to take them the perimeter keys. Just then the girl cop shines the flashlight in my face and says, "hey do you have keys to this gate?"

"yeah, my husband is coming down," i yell back from my window.

Anyway he comes back and decides to find out if the description matches "Johnny." When he goes back out, the helicopter starts buzzing overhead and the searchlight starts searching our side gate the little alley and the entire area. D comes back up and tells me 5'7", shaved head, ball cap and grey hoodie. Yep, that's him. And probably a lot of other people too but it's totally our guy "Johnny." I clean up the lint from his stupid grey hoodie in the laundry room all the time.

Then D says, "Maybe i should give them a quick schematic of the building." What?!? Just stay out of it! But he's like a self-proclaimed Jr. Officer. 5 minutes later he has a drawing of our building and a big star on their unit.

He runs it back down, gives them the map. When he gets back he says, they're bringing in the DOGS and if his scent goes back down that alley on the side, they'll let us know. DOGS!?! are you even kidding me?? What did he do? Crap!

So, now we've just been awake, waiting to see what happens. About 10 minutes ago we heard the voice from the copter reading someone their rights. There were two guys so maybe they're still looking for the other one because the helicopter is still here and i just heard a dog bark.

Note: this has a pretty good ending and some great photos. will update as soon as the Spurs game is over.
