hostage in hyattsville

Well never a dull moment . Almost met a thief head on over M&M 's . Left work around 1 48pm to get something to drink and something sweet. Several police vehicles in the parking lot . An afternoon patient
mentioned that somebody had been robbed ( or attempted ) . I left got what I came for and was allowed
back in , although minutes later everyone else was blocked as they brought the canines in and a dozen other
cops with heavy duty artillery . Kind of surreal . It's what you see on the news , if you're inclined to watch it.



Thank God we have cameras all over this place ( five story building we share with churches and a driving school ) , the cops were able to note that he came in but never left ( and that less than ten minutes after I
took the elevator ) . So we were herded out again and waited about half an hour longer in the parking lot
when we heard the triumphant , ' we got him , he was on the fifth floor - right above us '.

Those of us with a modicum sense tried not to look at him as we reentered or have him eyeball us either . Those who did got a piercing stare back , I know they are going to be haunted or cursing their curiosity tomorrow , when they come back ...

Dr H is sorry that he wasn't able to get in a piece of the action - ' crazy dude '. The hostage? - a driving instructor was in a locked room with him the entire time . Scary !

Angels were watching over all of us double time today .

p.s. for some , I am passing on the triathlon this weekend...
