It was a cool crisp evening. The sun just set and darkness quickly fell. I was riding with my best bud in his car when we got a flat tire. So we pulled over into a parking lot. The spare tire was in the trunk...under literally... Everything. This particular friend of mine happened to be a Military Police Officer in the National Guard. His name is Michael of the Pinson clan. And he happened to have all of his gear in the trunk. This particular parking lot we pulled into happened to be one of a busy restaurant named chilis. In a particular town called humble. To get to the tire, we have to unload his military gear. Included with this military gear, there happens to be a rifle case. Which we set on top of the car. In plain view of the windows of the restaurant. This happened to be right after one of the first school shootings. The universe had aligned just so perfectly with all of these random events... To put us unknowingly in a precarious situation. Apparently, unbeknownst to us, we caused a panic in the restaurant. While we are changing the tire... Which happened to be facing the road... (Two guys behind a car doing something with military gear everywhere and a gun case on top of the car) we heard a rushing of footsteps. On the phone, I look up. I become instantly blinded with a flood of lights. And my ears are greeted with a cascade of commands. DROP THE PHONE! DROP THE PHONE! LEMME SEE YOUR HANDS! BACK AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE Stunned at what.. Apparently... Slowly dawning on me... That... Is happening right now... Police... And I see guns... Pointed... At me ? I drop the phone And then realized I dropped my phone And also that I didnt hang up And instinctively went to see if my phone was okay Which apparently they didnt like And was punished accordingly... Michael and I at gun point, a few rush the car and start going through it. One officer flips open the gun case... And its... Wouldnt you know it... Empty. I sigh a breath of relief. (Even if there was a gun, its perfectly legal to carry. But at this moment, I was relieved it was empty) Whats with all this military gear? Michael quickly answered... Smiling the whole time Im in the army ? Oh really? Where is your military id? Michael responded quickly Its right here in the ca- He moved quickly to retrieve it KEEP YOUR HANDS UP, BACK AWAY FROM THE CAR NOW, BACK UP Michael stunned, still smiling Oh, okay. Sorry. Tell us where it is and we will get it Its right there in my seat Michael pointed And officer moved to retrieve it. Looked at it for a moment. Ah ok. The officer yelled back at the others HES MILITARY You guys are good. Sorry. We got a call about a weapon and stuff. You guys have a good night. Lights shut off. About 10 officers walk away back to their patrol cars. As they walked away, Michael...still smiling... asked them. So...you guys.. Gonna help us change our tire?
