The Rally Point Incident
Okay here it is:
Last night after I got off work, I didn't feel like going home, so I went to the Rally Point. I figured all of the usual people would be there, and I could just hang out and have a good time. I get there, and Lev is the only person there, which was surprising. I got a Cherry Coke and we watched Flavor of Love: Charm School, laughing at how retarded the show and what hoes the girls were. Lev put on some music & we chatted about upcoming shows. Then two black guys walked in: one wearing all red, jersey-type clothes with a red cap & sunglasses; the other wore a white shirt and maybe jeans. Both were tall and slender. I had a weird feeling when they walked in, and I almost made a joke to Lev that "oh crap, we're gonna die". I didn't say it. The two guys asked for quarters and started a game of pool. They asked if there was any hand chalk, which of course there was none. While Lev and I had our attention focused on the TV, the one in red walked up and put a gun to Lev's head and asked where the money was. Lev said it was in the cash register. So Red gets Lev out from behind the bar and has him lie down face first on the floor in front of the closest pool table. They take off his shoes and take everything in his pockets. Meanwhile, I put my hands on the bar and looked down. Red walked over to me and asked what I had, which was nothing really. He took my purse and pulled me from the chair. He patted me down and then had me lie on the floor on my back. He yanked my pants down and...eh... touched me & stuff. That's when I started freaking out a bit, crying and asking them not to do anything. Red said he wasn't going to do anything. The one in white came over and said "I'm sorry, I don't know why he did that."
They got Lev & I up and marched us to the girls' bathroom, where they put Lev facing against the wall. I stood a little off to the side between the toilet & sink. We were both shaking pretty bad. Whitey would close the door for a bit, then open it up and say crap like "don't move, or I'll blow your fuckin' head off." And I would say "I promise we aren't going to do anything." He kept thinking Lev was gonna make some quick move, and he would have me tell Lev not to move. This kept going on for awhile. Whitey kept getting more agitated while Red was rifling the bar, saying that he had already killed someone and he wouldn't hesitate to do it again.
Then we heard another voice saying, "Give it up, the cops are already outside!" There was some yelling and the third voice said , "I'll give you $150 if you just leave now." And then the third person was shoved into the bathroom on his knees: Nick (I didn't know his name at the time). They closed the door again, leaving us alone for a bit. Nick said he almost had one of them, but then his partner came out with a gun. He asked if me & Lev were alright. Whitey started poking his head in again, agitated with Nick, telling him not to make a move, blah blah. I asked the guy if he wouldn't point the gun at us, because we weren't going to do anything. So for awhile he would point the gun upwards. It made me too nervous with the guy pointing it at us, I was afraid he'd squeeze the trigger. Once Nick bumped against the door, and Whitey came in asking what the hell he was going. Nick said it was hurting his knees to be in that position, because he'd had surgery on them. So Whitey is all like, "You don't know what I've been through, they put me in foster care, blah blah."
Finally after awhile we didn't hear anything. Nick knocked on the door once..then twice, and nothing happened. Then he opened the door and stuck his head out saying, "Hello?". No one answered, so he made a break for the door, unlocking it and leaving it open. Lev & I waited a few seconds and took off after Nick. We went to the Z Market across the parking lot, Nick telling the guys to call the police. These dudes apparently do not know what 911 is, because they were just kinda like "Huh?" And then I grabbed onto Lev and started sobbing. We just held onto each other for awhile. Nick was finally able to call the cops, and then we waited around after that. The Z Market guys let us all have a free soda, since we had no money of course.. They took 5 bucks from me, about thirty from Lev, and 150 from Nick. No telling how much they got from the bar. They took our phones, which pissed me off, because getting a new phone is a bitch. But hey...I was just glad we got out physically unscathed.
Later on after the cops, Nate, Jen, Ray, and Aubrey showed up, Nick noticed an ID in the stool by the door. ....It belonged to Whitey. Stupid ass motherfucker. Apparently someone had called my phone after they left, and one of the dudes answered, talking all kinds of shit.
Anyway...that's mostly the whole story. I'm as okay as I can be I guess. It was hard for me to sleep, because every time I closed my eyes, I kept seeing the events replay in my head. I really think that Nick showing up saved us though. Those guys just seemed like they were looking for a reason to shoot someone.
I just hope Lev & Nick are alright. I thank Nick for showing up, and I'm glad I didn't just keep on driving when I saw there was no one at the Point. I don't know if I will be able to go back for awhile, but guys, don't let it stop you from checking out all the awesome shows. Good people work there and good people hang out there. Show your support for Nate, the bands, and the bar. I might come up there one day...
I am off work today. If for some reason you want to call & chat, my home number is 662-895-5350. I'm not going anywhere. I should have a new phone in the morning, so if you wanna msg me with your number & stuff, please do.
Everyone be careful also. You never know what might happen. <3
