Went on lunch tonight. Drove down to this local place to grab some grub. I walked through the door and passed the refrigerators. Granted, it's blue-dick cold out there, so me and all the other guys in the place were covered in Carharrt and beanies, etc. There was this one guy though, had his hood on, and his face fully covered with some kind of skull bandana. He was walking back and forth in front of the Gatorade like he was thinking real hard. He kept turning his head and looking at the register, then back at the freezer. Guy was just twitchy as hell, and acting weird, so I casually grabbed what I wanted and went to go get in line.
I was thinking of how I could best flank him if he was planning on causing trouble, when I rounded a corner and lo and behold, the entire local police force was there having dinner. There were about 7 or 8 cops sitting and standing around this table, just staring in this guy's direction. They had all parked out back, so I didn't know they were there. I chuckled and asked them "how you doin' fellas?" as I walked by. They said they were doin' good. I said the same back. I paid for my lunch, and went back to work.
Backup, you just can't beat it.
