This is a stakeout!

Nobody move!

I was on my way sending an important package. I don't really know what is inside, in the end it's my first day at the security firm since I lost my job at the insurance company. I overheard the other officer saying the crate has the salary of the factory that has the idea of paying cash to avoid tax.

And then the truck suddenly ran out of fuel, both me and my peer started cursing towards the driver as the situation is really not good. On one hand, we got a deadline to meet since the client is expecting to receive that crate by 12pm so they can start distributing to thousands the entire factory workers. Now that we're stranded, there's a chance that we may just get a raid and possibly KIA.

For christ sake, this is my first day and I don't want to stay here taking the risk of getting robbed and or kill. I took out my phone and called Grab(our local Uber kinda e-hailing services), decided to keep moving instead of be a sitting duck. I can't recall what my colleague told me, I kinda get the idea as there's other important consignment in the security van he needs to look after. So I'm the only one sending the huge box of important package.

Everytime the driver looking back at his rear view mirror, I have that feeling of he's planning something. I allowed myself to sit a little lower, I had my shotgun pointing towards the driver seat, if he tries something stupid, I'm gonna pull the trigger and let's see if a car crash can kill me.

After about 30 minutes ride, the driver kept on circling the vicinity trying to locate the destination. I took not familiar with this area, and the GPS signal wasn't as accurate due to many industrial antenna around here, distorting the satellite position.

I think I'm a little over reacted, as the driver gradually pulled the car over, right in front of the factory, and greeted me. I refused his help and tipped him for such gentle ride. I didn't spend time writing a review since my focus is on the delivery and my own safety. The factory security guard opened the gate and assisted me to carry the crate. The procurement and logistic manager came out of the office, is my wife?! What the?! Since when she started work here?

She didn't say anything but I can see from her face she's very pissed off. I gotta be very professional since now I'm the service provider, and she's the customer. I didn't even tell her I lost my job and had to resort to be a armored security as a temporary gig.

Whilst she's turned around signing the delivery note, suddenly 3 stocking masked person breached the security gate, holding high fire power automatic machine gun initiated a stakeout right in front of the factory and bright day light. "This is a stake out! Nobody move!" Despite I can't see their faces, but from the way they walk and bend their backs, these are very senior citizens, probably at their 70s.

They seemed to be knowing the delivery is today and this entire stakeout has been properly planned. Good thing for my sawed shotgun has a very short barrel, I can easily swing my holster and I can conceal my weapon at my back. The robber is shouting and yelling at the women behind me(my wife). I didn't turn back and look, but I'm using my body to cover for her as much as possible since I am wearing a bullet proof vest.

Whilst I'm also yelling hoping the women(my wife) quickly get her documentation done fast, one of the robber lost his patience, jumped over and pull the trigger! I'm preparing to use my vest, suck in deep and charge against the robber! and then... sound of transformers the cartoon, that kind of laser effect! WTF! They use a toy gun to rob?! You bloody fool! I immediately reached out to my shotgun and fire at the sky. Malaysian law 101, do not fire until fired upon. Either get killed or get jailed 🙄 we have real case, out of self defense, killed a robber and the victim was sentenced to death penalty.

Such an eventful first day at work. Soon as I enter the house after finished my duty, grandma and grandpa is here, with one of their friend sitting at the living room watching TV. I saw some women stockings and some toy gun lying around. Grandma turned to me and say, good job Dave...

beep beep beep beep... as I reached my hand to the walkie talkie trying to answer it.... my cell phone fell on the floor. And then wife kicking me and started shouting get up! Time to send kids to school....

What a strange dream. Such detail. My grandma passed away a couple of years ago and I have never meet my grandpa before.
