Ever think if the fortune cookiee's messages from the Asian restaurants can possibly be true? Well, I've at a Chinese restaurant for the 1st time (not kidding, they always brought it home) and got my fortune cookiee. I let my step-brother open his 1st and he got a good one, about being rich in the future or something, so I hoped for the same thing. Instead, I get something that didn't seem good:
The social scene can be fun today
I thought it was a waste, counting it was 8:00 PM (PST) and that we were now driving back home for a 30 minute drive. But little did I know that a stop at the gas station would shock my entire family...
Pulling up for some gas, my step-dad gets out and does the usual. The rest of us notice that many police cars are nearby on a small bridge, maybe 3. Then 3 more drive away from us and onto the bridge. Nothing much, right? Then, we see a white BIG van stopping at a stop light and then we see the 3 cops from earlier. They seem to be getting out of the car, but we see the van drive again, pulling right in front of us and of the gas station. The police pursue but he only drives for a few yards. Stopping, the 3 police cars stop.
Now, here were the clues of us getting nervous:
1. 3 police cars "suddenly" chasing a suspicious white van.
2. Many shadows could be seen in the back of the van.
3. They already refused arrest by not stopping the 1st time, so it must've been serious.
4. Well...
Then the cops got out, pulled their guns out, and yelled the usual Cops commands. "Get out of the car now!!" but it seemed to take awhile. Another cop nearby told us to get back, but we couldn't; another truck was behind us and we were boxed in. Now the big stuff: 2 policemen carried shotguns out and aimed at the van, making this seem like it was a big crime. In the end, the truck pulled out, and we escaped, seeing the culprit come out of the van without a fight. My mom managed to get a cell phone picture as we were backing out, not much, but you'll need to look closely to see the shotguns:
After getting on the freeway, I remembered my fortune:

Was that a fortune or what?! Sure it was heart-pumping at 1st, but after getting a safe distance, we realized that we saw a live-action Cops going on! Coincidence?
