"YOU GET BACK HERE!!!!"
That's what I heard a male voice shouting outside my apartment last night at about 1230. All I could think was, "O no... domestic violence...." My old apartment complex in Virginia had some domestic violence issues, and believe me... even if you're not involved, you're still affected by the noise and tension.
I turned off the light in the living room and crept into my bedroom to peek out and see what was going on.
Then I realized just who was yelling. Two young women in the parking lot were being approached by two... cops? Very annoyed cops.
The one who I suspect had been yelling started chewing them out for not stopping when he'd ordered them to the first time. Then he asked their ages... 14 and 15. WTF? They looked like they'd been dressed for a club!
So then he yelled at them for being out at that hour. I don't know if this city has a curfew, but it might... and really there's no reason for a 14 or 15 year old girl to be out on the street at 1230 dressed for clubbing.
Then the girls were escorted back the way they came.... I'm only assuming they were taken home in the cop car or whatever. And their parents will be so thrilled.
Oh and the cops did glance up at my window... probably saw me peeking between the blinds, but then they just went back to chewing out the girls. Heh.
This morning when I went out, I looked at the area they'd come from... I suspect the girls had been ... well I know they'd been out... but I suspect they'd been dodging between apartment buildings when they saw a cop car, and got chased for being out late (and at their age).
And it makes me glad to know the cops do come through here just to keep an eye on things... and that it wasn't any domestic violence.
(and an afterthought... my window must not be completely sealed... wasn't hard for me to hear what they were saying. no wonder i'm always cold in there!)
