Clean: 20/10 x2 plus STORAGE UNIT

Yesterday I stared in to the eyes of a murderer on the run. No, really! I was there at the Storage Unit, putting some boxes on top of the mini van, when I heard a racing, straining engine of a vehicle being loud and fast. My storage unit is at the far corner-end of the storage unit, so I had a few seconds to locate the noise before it actually came in to view - a small pick-up truck squeeled its way around the corner and was barreling down on my location! As the guy raced towards me, our eyes locked - 20-something guy, stubble-shaved head with a stubblier-shaved face. He broke the eye contact just in time to skid around the corner and he was gone. THEN I heard the police sirens, and thought "Stupid speeder, probably driving on a suspended license and didn't want to get pulled over" and didn't think any more of it.

...Till Crystal called.

"HAVEN'T YOU HEARD THE HELICOPTERS?!?!?" Now that she mentioned it, yeah, there *were* helicopters circling the area - three of them! Schools and local businesses were on lockdown while this chase was going on. Crystal relayed the scuttlebutt from around her workplace, the Speeder I had encountered was quickly upgraded to a bank robber, then almost instantly a murder suspect (complete with blood-stained shirt!) which made more sense than sending out a fleet of police cruisers and helicopters for a single speeder with expired tabs or something.

Aren't you glad he was too preoccupied with escaping the police to do anything with/to you?

Yes... yes I am. Once i realized that the police hadn't actually come *in to* the Storage Unit area looking for him, I feared that he might still be IN THE STORAGE UNIT WITH ME, and like an idiot I went looking for him. Didn't find him, but every time I heard a siren or loud noise from that moment on, I stepped in to my unit and rolled down the steel door (just in case)

Yikes. At least it makes for an interesting story! Was he caught?

I'm glad you ended up with a story to tell. It's a happier ending than you becoming an unhappy part of the news story.
