Recent Post: FIRST TIME AUDITIONS FIRSTTIMEAUDITIONS walked back to the restaurant and ordered a beer. I was still pissed when the local police came by. The restaurant people gave their version of the incident and as they did a look of astonishment crept into the policemen's face. That was when it dawned on me that I had reacted in the most impossibly stupid way the situation demanded.
The military police came soon after and I gave them a condensed version of the events. They told me to finish my beer and come with them. I had to tell the story three more times and be checked by a doctor before they let me go. I had not told anyone about the incident except for the military police. I was somewhat surprised to learn Laura and Mrs. Grant knew the details.
Of course, like me, Laura had a top secret security clearance. We worked in the same unit. Had she wanted to check on me she could have dug up the details.
