Gotta relate this experience I had just recently.
Had set up an appointment with one of Eccie's good gals...typical except she gave me the location and room number a day early. Okay...was dealing through e-mail so I thought it a little out of the ordinary but saves time.
I showed up a few minutes before the appointment time, parked and waltzed in through the lobby. Smiled at the desk clerk who looked up and I proceeded a short distance to the elevators.
Got to the floor, walked down to the door and knocked.
Waited....
Knocked a little louder...
Waited listening intently for some kind of movement inside...nothing
Knocked again...
Nothing.
I figured something had happened or she got caught in traffic..."Better wait in car until she arrives," I thought.
Rode the elevator down and walked through the lobby to be greeted by the sight of TWO San Antonio Police SUVs with a lady corporal swiftly exiting the second one and running into the lobby.
"This is NOT someplace for the Prowordsmith to be", I thought using my full powers of inductive reasoning.
I wen down to my vehicle and left the immediate vicinity. I emailed the lady I was to meet advising her to be very careful. I parked where I could observe what what going on from in front of the establishment's vestibule.
The cops shortly later came out alone, entered tier vehicles and drove to the end of the street and parked...they stayed there for the better part of 30 minutes.
Long story short, my lady made it into the place okay, registered and went to the room. It took some email encouragement from her for me to join her but I did after entering the place through a back exit door with her help.
All was well...but I had my first real "wrong place to be" scare. Guess I'm a true veteran now, eh?
