Like in a movie!

I was waiting for my friend to show up tonight in front of a cafe. I was looking at my watch noticing that she is late, when i heard a scream from across the street! At first i thought that its a couple fighting or teasing each other, but after a moment i realized that a lady is being robbed. Her purse was getting stolen from a guy with something that looked like skiing mask.

She started calling for help. We were couple of random guys standing on the street, and after we realized what is going on we started pursuing the guy who stole the purse. We were quite far behind so the plan was not to lose him, probably he is a junkie who cant run more than us. The alleys were really dark, its not a place where at night people go to. When we almost caught up on him, from the dark, people with guns ran in and started shouting.

Everyone, hands in the air! Police!

Standing with my hands up, being a little dizzy and trying to catch a breath, with flashlight in my head - i realized that it was the special unit for preventing street crime. They are always in civil clothes. Got so relieved and full with adrenaline. I was smiling so much, almost laughing :) How the f**k they got here so fast??? the whole thing lasted like 2-3 min tops! No one was even calling the police.

Impressive!

And then say that police is never there when you need it!
