Big Al’s Blog: Should I Wait for The Police or Should I Go In?

My Mom called me yesterday and said that the alarm was going off at my sister’s house and my sister was at work. So she wanted me to go check it out. YES Ma’am. I’m on the way. So off I went to my sister’s house and I’m thinking while I’m on the way over there. What in the heck am I going to do if there is some criminal there that has broken in to the house and I find them in the house? “Um, hey you get out of there or I’m gonna hit you with my vanity glasses!” so, I got there and it looked like everything was cool. I have to admit I was a little bit scared. No police yet…(black neighborhood). Anyway, I slowly got out of my truck and I walked to her garage door. I know the code to let the garage door up but I didn’t do that right away. All I could think about was some dude standing on the other side of the garage door waiting to pop a cap in me. I circled the house and checked all the windows and doors and everything seemed cool. But I was still wondering how the alarm went off if there was no problem. Should I wait for the police or should I go in??? Man, I started to sweat a little bit. Then I heard the next-door dog start barking. What the hell? I kinda walked to the back again to see what he was barking about. I heard voices. oh crap. Somebody was there. I’m thinking about things that are going on in Florida right now. Then, another voice…the dog started barking again. Should I confront or should I retreat? Ahhh, the voices were getting louder. The dog kept barking. I was about to pee my pants! It was money time… then I saw the shadow…

I said hey,…he said who are you? Then I got a clear view. It was the Police…whew.

He had me put my hands up but I explained who I was. Showed my ID and we were all good.
