I was going into The south side of
Williamsburg to go and cop something. I already called my connect to make sure that he was there and that I didn't make the trip to wait or for nothing.
After I got out of the train and walked a few blocks I noticed in one of the alleyways there was a stray cat. I saw her and she looked just like one of my cats,
Nila.
She was all tan with a all black tail and she had blue eyes. I said to myself after I cop
I will get some food and put it out for her. I looked down and saw 2 other plates so someone was feeding her as well. Then I rethought and said let me feed her now being shes here. So
I ran to the corner store and got some food for her, and ran back and put it down fro her. I started calling her "Hope" because that's the name of the street I found her on.
When I put the food down I backed away and saw she started eating it. I left her there with the food and said if she comes to me on the way back then maybe I can save her.
So I proceeded to go see my connect. Now as I'm going to cop off him I'm not the only one there was 3 other people who came in behind me.
So I go in, he served me first, I stashed it away and then left. I was in the building for about 3minutes.
So I started walking back the same way I came to go and check out Hope. I get to the alleyway where I saw her and being it was nighttime I couldn't see to well. So I took out my flashlight and
started looking for her and calling out to her. The next thing I hear in a mans voice is
"what are you doing", now I thought it was either the super or the landlord maybe even
a tenant in the building. I picked my head up and the it was a white man holding a gold shield.
He was with a Spanish man and they were both
under covers.
I explained to him that I do animal rescue & I'm trying to save this cat for the past week.
I showed him all the empty dishes that were on the ground and said I had put them all there
and I was taking care of her.
He asked me if I had anything on me that I'm not supposed to have, I replied with
"the only thing you will find on me is
pepper spray and a pocket knife. "Why do you carry the pepper spray" he asked.
I explained to him that I go into areas where they
fight pit bulls and I'm also a female
who rides the
trains late at night and I will not become a victim.
He asked if I had ID, I said yes and I went toward my wallet to give them my wallet.
They got a little excited and said please don't make any moves like that. After he said
that to me I stood with my hands up and they asked to check me and my pocket and shit.
I said yes go right ahead you find anything on me.
He asked me where I was coming from and I told him that I used to live in this area
and I know
alot of people here. I said that someone came up to me and told me that there
was a dog tied up to a radiator and his bones were stinking out and I went into the building that they pointed out to me and I went to check it out.
He asked why didn't I call the
Animal Control first. I told them that if they take him he
will get put got or put on the
euth list, and I have the authority to take them in and foster
them out to people in order to save them from being put down.
The under covers said the building you were in is a known drug spot and that's why I was being stopped. I said to them "I don't deny that I did go in the building but I wanted to check and
see if there was a dog in there and if he was alive or dead or what".
One of the cops said "OH we KNOW you went into the building but we wanted to make sure you weren't doing anything you should be".
After that the white cop then asked if he could check around my waistline, I said no problem
he felt around my waist and felt my cellphone holder and where I hang my flashlight. He asked what it was and I told him, he said do you mind if I lift your shirt because it feels like a gun.
I said no problem the only thing your going to see is my sexy tummy. They laughed and then
saw it was nothing. After that they gave me back all my stuff that they had taken out of my pockets and said sorry for stopping you.
I said no problem I know your just doing your job its all good.
Now a few things that I think saved me were that I knew the lingo as far as rescuing animals and I also had my
ACC volunteer card on me which they saw.
I was dressed fly (as always). I had on brand new
all white uptowns, I had on all my jewelry, my gold chain and
crucifix, my gold earrings, and my fathers
pinkie ring which is worth
alot,
at least I got something from the fucker right?! I had my
iPod Touch on me and I also had on a $300
Harley Davidson leather vest.
So they saw I wasn't a bummed out "junkie" like that. Also one of the biggest things that I think saved me was the cat Hope and the food I put down for her and the other plates that were there.
So I dodged a bullet big time.
