“What the hell was that”, you hear someone yell and turn around to see a lady standing next to a porta potty at the edge of the parking lot. The lady has a befuddled and somewhat frightened look on her face. She looked to be in her mid-thirties and her gaze seemed to be concentrated on the keys in your hand.
“Shit”, you curse as you wonder if the lady actually saw you turn Keith into a dog. You nervously look at Keith and he also gives you what seems to be a nervous look. You tighten your grip on the keys as you try to decide if you should use them on the lady. You decide to probe the situation and see what the lady actually saw by asking, “I’m sorry miss, but what are you referring too?”
“Don’t you play stupid with me, I saw you force that police officer out of your trunk and then you used that thing in your hand to magically turn him into a dog”, the lady yelled pointing at Keith as she took a few steps toward you.
She clearly saw everything and happens to think that Keith is a police officer because he stupidly put on the officer’s uniform. You still don’t want to use the keys so your try to see if you can play the whole situation off as her seeing things. “I’m sorry miss but I don’t know what you are talking about I just came here to take my dog for a walk”, you try to say convincingly as you reach dog and pat Keith’s head. Keith also gives off a friendly bark and begins to pant excessively with his tongue hanging out in an attempt to help you sell the lie.
“Don’t you dare lie to me you little punk and how could you abduct and attack a man of the law”, the lady scorns you angrily as she takes a few steps closer to you. “The man was only doing his job, blue lives matter and you cannot mistreat them like that! I will have you know that my husband, my brother and my father are all police officers and with this one phone call”, the lady continues as she pulls her cellphone out of her purse and begins to dial, “I will have you locked away for the rest of your life.”
No longer feeling that you have another choice you raise the keys, press the button, and hope that this does not make matters even worse.
