(no subject)
i stopped at the bar on the way home from work sunday night for a drink with some work buddies. i got home a little after midnight and everyone was sleeping. i was looking at the news online when mike came in to the office on his cell phone apparently getting directions to somewhere. after he got off the phone i asked him "what's going on?"
"well, that was a cop. he said patrick's in trouble but he can't tell me more. he needs me to come down to gila bend and get the dog and his belongings out of his rental car".
patrick is a friend of mike's from growing up in indiana. he went into the military while mike went to college, but now he's back from iraq and living out here, in phoenix. he was growing tired of civilian life, and was itching to return overseas. he believed he would be leaving again in about two weeks. he moved out of his house in south phoenix and was looking for something to live in temporarily, and had been sleeping at our house in the mean-time. he had left for san diego the night before to sell his rare dog, an argentine dogo, to a breeder.
some 80 miles later we arrive in gila bend. the cops won't let us talk to patrick, but tell us that he is under arrest. after getting patrick's permission, they tell us the charges.
"7 counts of aggrivated assult with a deadly weapon! jaayz, what did he do??"
we didn't find out until the press started showing up at our door. he had listed our house as his address, because he had none other.
