So how cool is this!
I have not gone to the gym in over 2 weeks, we were working on essays
and it was freezing and who wants to walk to the gym when it is like minus a bazillion! Last time I was there I had gone swimming and
then gotten out and waited for everyone else.
While I was waiting two different Police cars showed up with five police
officers in them. They were in the lobby
talking to this guy who I had seen in the hot tub or as they call it here in
England the Jacuzzi. He was kind of
strange looking and was watching the swimming lessons that were going on. Now normally people watch kids doing swimming
lessons like “aww they are so cute” or “those poor kids are so afraid of the
water” but he was looking around like he was guilty and watching the kids
really creepily. Now it might be that I
have watched too much Criminal Minds and now suspect everyone of some sinister
plot to take over the world but when the police came and asked me if they could
ask me a few questions I felt like Bones or Spencer Reid about to solve a case.
So here is what happened Sarah was working out in the gym
while I had gone to swim. One of the
guys who works there asked her to get of the machine and come with him, because
they needed to ask her some questions. So
she got off and he said “you might want to take your stuff with you” so here
she if freaking out that something was wrong and she comes out and there are
the police and the hotel manager. They asked
her if she was there on March the 6th and who in their right mind knows
what date they go to the gym but then she said “was it the day the police were
here” and they got it all sorted out. So
they ask her if she had been in the pool and she said no, so then they asked
her if her friend had been in there and Sarah, being the good friend that she
is was like I don’t know maybe. (that’s
right Sarah totally played dumb to the police) but then they told her that I wasn’t
in trouble and they just needed to know what I had saw so they she’s like “oh
ya she was in the pool and she is in the pool now.” Then they came to me....
I was doing lapse and Sarah comes in and calls me, I thought
that she was done so I slowly swim to the end and she’s like “so the police
want to ask you some question, you’re not in trouble but they want to ask you
about that day when all the police were here.” I, in my head, freak out like omg the freaking
police want to talk to me. So I get out and walk over to them, in my dripping
wet bathing suit, the police and the hotel manager are standing there and the
police asked me if I was here on the 6th of March and I said “oh was
that they day where there was that freaky guy and all the police?” cuz I am so
awesome that I know which date I go to the gym, and the Officer was like yes
and he obviously made an impression on you so tell me what you saw. I told him that I wasn’t sure what he was
looking for but said how he was watching the kids and how it was kind of
strange and he then asked if he could take my details and I told him my name
and number and that I was living at Newbold. Still standing in my dripping wet
swim suit how weird is that. And then he
asked if it was alright if they needed a statement they could call me. So maybe I will be called to court. How cool would that be, go to England and appear
in court!
The creepiest part is that we haven’t been to the gym in
like two weeks and then we show up and the police are right there saying that
they have been watching the cctv and gathering all the evidence. So either they just happened to be there or
they saw us come and called the police.
I hope it was the latter that makes me feel so much more important.
