So here I am, minding my own business, when I see a car very slowly creep by my house. Now, being the creeper that I am, I crept up on my front window and spotted a cop car. Parked right out front of my house. The hell?
Naturally I am curious as all hell, so I go around to the other window - low and behold, two more cop cars. Parked. What could this be..
Now back to the first window, just a little more stealthy this time. Slowly raising myself up so just my eyeballs are peering out, I see the officer is out of his car, shining a flashlight into the yards, and he also has a dog with him. I HAVE TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
I run upstairs to my bathroom window and open it just ever so slightly. This is getting all too real. My curiosity is slowly turning into fear as my mind races with different scenarios. I look down to my phone to see if I still have a police scanner app, and as I look up I see he is gone. Did I just imagine this???
I run back into my bedroom and the cop has relocated himself by the others, and him and three others were talking. Reaching up without showing any more than my forehead and eyeballs in the window, I opened it just a little. I. CANT. HEAR. SHIT! What is happening?!
After a little while I realize that their interest is in the house that I joke on a daily basis is a meth house. Hell, I just call em like I see em! Before you know it, three of the cops are positioning themselves around the meth house, and the other knocks on the door. I hold my breath.
There are no lights on. Every leaf that blows around makes me jump in my anticipation of the Criminal Minds shit that is about to go down right in front of my very eyes.
I wait.
And I wait.
And now I'm feeling faint because I realize I forgot to start breathing again. There is nothing happening. It doesn't take this long on the tv. Is this going to go down for real? Or no?
After a while they start walking back to their cars, so I race myself back into my bedroom and sit in front of the window, ear pressed against the screen, determined to figure out what is going on. They sit and talk for a bit more, and then get into their cars, and pull away.
Seriously?
Like.....SERIOUSLY!?
As I'm watching them pull away, I finally remember to turn the scanner on. I catch a bit of 'no one came to the door' and then nothing. Nothing.
I start walking down the hallway in defeat, and as I pass my bathroom I see a light on in the house. I run to the window, perch myself back up determined to crack this case, and wait. Should I call the cops? Should I? Should I tell them 'oh you know, I was just watching your every move conspicuously from between the blinds in my windows..", but instead I wait.
And wait.
Aaannnddddd wait.
The light goes out, and I sit in disbelief. Should I be nervous? Should I not be nervous? Honestly I'm more upset that I have literally no frickin clue as to what just happened. Then. THEN. An undercover cop moseys on by.
YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.
I walk back downstairs in a huff, texting Kevin what just happened. There's nothing on the scanner but a car being broken into by it's owner, a jeep drag racing thru a round about, and some kids on a roof throwing water on people. So now, I hide. Retreat back to my room I shall, half pissed that I will probably never know what happened, a quarter aggravated that the cops just missed them, and a quarter nervous that maybe something serious was about to go down. After all, they don't bust out multiple officers and a dog for nothing.
And now, the meatloaf I was warming up before these shenanigans went down, is cold.
They do not walk away with nothing in Criminal Minds. And they sure as hell don't eat cold meatloaf. I really used to like that show.
