I was doing a ride along with my older brother, who was a cop, as we were getting some snacks at a store, a woman asked for help to fix something. I don’t remember what we did, I think it had to do something with her car. but afterward she thanked us and asked me if she can keep the tools. Thinking there was nothing wrong with that, I gave her the bag of tools to her. When I got to my brother’s cop truck, I thought, that’s probably hundreds of dollars in equipment. So I went back and said we can’t let her have them. But she had already given them to her boyfriend. We tried looking everywhere for him but we could not find him. Afterward we traveled to our family cabin. I was really upset about the tools. My father was already there at the cabin. As we were still talking by the trucks, I heard a voice saying “better get out of the way sonny.” So I jumped out of the way and grabbed my brother with me to the ground. We heard gunshots. Thankfully my father ducked under the truck so he was ok. We all pulled out our guns to face the man. It was an old west cowboy looking man. My gun misfired but my brother managed to take him down. We got to talking to him, saying something about some gang getting equipment, but I woke up at that point.
