12/9 Busted...part deaux
Okay, so I slide right through with my accomplice, Ty, and we are immediately spotted. I didn't even realize what was going on for a minute. I heard "POLICE, POLICE!" coming from a little voice and I didn't know WHERE it was coming from until she shoved her tiny little hand holding a badge in my face. I guess my surprise was genuine and when she started interrogating me I was so stunned I could hardly speak. "You just slipped through the turnstile" "What? No, I didn't (as innocently as possible)" Ty taking my lead, "no, what?" "Let me see your subway card." Ty pulled out the subway card that we had obviously just used once and she would know that right away if she checked it. "Did you just both use that to get in?" Me, with my stealth wit remembered I had put an expired card in my pocket just that morning. I quickly slipped it out and again in the innocent voice said, "no, I used my own card." "Oh, I'm sorry, it just [pause to think] looked like you had both come through together" "Oh, no. That's ok," We calmly walked away and headed for our train and sanctuary. She believed us, whew. Either that or she was intimidated by us towering above her and just wanted it all to end. They should get her some back up. I mean she's great at spotting perps. She's in perfect juxtaposition with the turnstile, but she needs some brut to finish the job. At any rate, I'm not about to try that again for a while. Saving on a two dollar subway ride is not worth having to pay $120 fine or get arrested for (which I've seen happen). Hopefully there aren't any NY cops reading this. I'm reformed, I swear. I'll just stick to stealing pens at restaurants and hotels. ~Ro BTW - Halo 2 is hard, but then again, I really suck at video games.
