I'm delivering a pizza Friday night to the "projects", I see 4 teenagers walking on the side of the road. I stop at the stop sign and as I'm getting ready turn left, an empty 20oz plastic bottle hits my hat, windshield pillar and bounces off my side mirror. I've got the top down on my convertible. I turn the car off and get out. I'm going to have a "talk" with these kids.
I ask them why did they throw a bottle at me, they deny it and I call b.s., pick up the bottle and put it in the car. We exchange words, one of them is the bad@$$ of the group and he starts to get abusive, he even called me the "N" word. He is acting tougher than he really is and I can see it in his eyes, he just wants to show off. I used to fight in the Army and I'm not going to run away this night.
I wanted admission of the act and an apology but he wants to act all tough, I tell him if he really wants to kick my @** then he had better get started because I have a pizza to deliver, he just gets louder and more profane, I'm as calm as buddha, it's one of my good traits when things get difficult and it has served me well in the past.
The louder he gets the braver his friends start to get, one of them sees that I'm not impressed and tells me that all four of them are gonna kick my @**, two of them don't say anything. I laugh at him but as I do the bad@$$ kid went around my car and grabbed the pizza bag off of the passenger seat.
I reach into my pocket and pull out my phone and tell the closest one to me (who appears to not be as threatening or as stupid as the others) to tell his friend to bring it back or I'm calling the police, bad@ss says "I got yo F'n pizza what you gonna do M.F'r?" As he is walking away with the pizza under his arm, turned sideways!. I tell the closest one again you better tell him to bring it back or.....he tells his friend but he doesn't listen.
I've got the phone in my hand, I've put the three digits, 911 into the phone and I'm about to hit call and I look up and guess what I see 15 feet in front of me?
A patrol car with the lights off watching us. I yell to the cop "He just stole my pizza". The cop jumps out of the car, telling the thief to drop the pizza (I cringe because there is no way this pizza is gonna survive all this) the thief resists the cop, the thief drops the pizza bag on the ground, they wrestle for about a second, the tazer comes out, I see the laser sight beam shining on the thief and wonder is that a gun or a tazer? The kid has a moment of clarity and does possibly the only smart thing he has ever done in his life, he gets on the ground like the cop tells him to do. He gets cuffed.
One of the other three wants the money out of the grounded kids back pocket but the cop says no. Two of them get belligerent towards the first cop as more cops show up, two more are on the ground, cuffed. Long story shot, bad@$$ gets charged with strong arm robbery and two others get charged with disturbing the peace. I tell the cops that the one kid tried to diffuse the situation so they let him go free but like the others, are not residents and all are banned from the development.
I pick the pizza bag up look inside the box and I'm amazed, it is in perfect condition, looks like it just came outta the oven and it's still warm, not hot, but warm. I finish answering some questions, get in my car and deliver the pie. The cop calls me later and says the bad@$$ is under age and was released to his parents until the court date.
I got a $4 tip. :D - Dale
The Penthouse thing was for another story sorry....:p
