Yup Hoboken, NJ I've been to Carlo's Bakery before. Best pastries and cakes and cannolis I've ever had. Met Buddy once, he's really nice and cool. You should go check it out one day. If you can try to go on a weekday, won't be as busy as a weekend or over a holiday.

oh yeah i'd never try to go on a holiday or the weekend haha that doesn't sound smart at all

*We pull into the parking lot. I walk in.*

'You got the Large pepperoni and 16 Buffalo wings?'

'Good memory.'

'Haha, right here, bro. $25.45.'

*I give him my credit card. I sing the receipt, and take my card back, I pick up the food*

'Thanks.'

*I walk back out to the car, but the food in the backseat, get in and drive back to my apartment.*

*I pull the truck into the parking lot and grab my handheld*

*I walk in and walk up to the counter*

'May I help you?'

'Yes, I have a pick up for ERT EMS'

'Oh, yes here you go. That will be 15.84'

'Are you sure I ordered 3 larges. It should be around 20 something?'

'No, I gave you a discount.'

'Oh, well in that case we appreicate it and here is a tip.'

*I then walk out to the truck and head back to the hospital*

*After a short drive I pull up and park outside the Hoboken Pizza. I exit my Tahoe, lock it, and walk inside. I look around; nice place, looks like it's been refurbished recently. I walk to the counter and speak to the clerk:*

Me: 'Hi.'

Clerk: 'Oh hello and welcome, what can I get you?'

Me: 'I'll have a medium pizza please, with pepperoni, ham and mushrooms. A little spice, but don't go all out. Aaaand, a big coke to drink please.'

Clerk: 'Aaaallrighty, that'll be $6.50 please.'

*I get my wallet out and pay the man with a $10 bill. I recieve my change, leave all the small coins on the counter for tip and walk over to a table to wait for my food.*

**I come running in after Halls.**

'You almost left me behind; don't do that again!'

**I go up to the counter.**

Clerk: 'Something for you?'
Me: 'One medium, plain please, and a medium fountain drink.'
Clerk: 'That's $5.85. Here's your soda cup.'

**I give her the money and fill up my fountain soda with Dr. Pepper, then sit down to join Halls.**

'You almost left me behind; don't do that again!'

'Hehe, I'm sorry man. I thought you were taking your own car. What did you order?'

*I take a swig of my coke.*

'I just got plain; I'm not huge on random stuff on my pizza. I tried Hawaiian once, but I hated it. Nice job at training, by the way, you really kept your head. You've done better than most.'

'See what you mean, don't like to go crazy myself... Thanks, I think it's all the patrol duty that's given me the foundation. I like the new pace though, excited for our first mission too!'

*The clerk brings over the pizzas and we begin eating. It's actually really good, worth the money and then some.*

**I also begin eating. It reminds me of a pizza parlor back in my hometown, and I wonder what is happening back there.**

'Don't get too excited; the reason we have our jobs is because the world is full of psychos - crazy people willing to kill to make a point or to get what they want. I heard there's going to be a conference of high-ranking officials in Phoxlind, and we'll probably be a standby team in case things get out of hand.'

'You're probably right about that... Conference you say? What kind of conference, political?'

*I finish my pizza, then lean back in my chair and continue drinking whats left of my coke.*

'I think it's the annual ERT National Conference, so that means higher-up officers, but we could still see dignitaries and distinguished speakers who make very nice targets. Of course, it can always be moved or postponed. You know how political things get.'

**I sip at my half-finished Dr. Pepper.**

'Hm... I see. Well time will show I guess. Look I gotta get going, I'm taking a few days off following the promotion, and I've booked a flight out of town so I gotta get going. Thanks for the chat Jaime, I'll see you later. Take it easy!'

*I get up and shake Bucello's hand before I leave. I walk out to my car and drive home.*

'Thanks, I'll see you back at work!'

**Halls drives off before I realize that I left my car back at base. I walk over to the bus stop and take the Route 81 bus back home.**

*After calling in an order, Kelly and I get into my new Charger, turn on my radio and set it to Transmit of ERT channels, and Receive Phoxlind Channels, and we drive to the pizza place. I drive past it realizing we're about 10 minutes earlier than they said it would be. *

'Wanna just drive around for a bit? Get a feel for the new car?'

*She agrees, so I get on the highway. There's no traffic visible.*

'Let's see what this car can do'

*I hit the gas peddle and start going faster, I hit the speed limit of 75mph. Still no traffic, so I go up to 95 for a little bit. I look in the mirror and see headlights behind me that are speeding up. I slow down to 80. The headlights are now following behind me*

On the radio:

"128, I'll be on a traffic stop, just past exit 13 on the highway. Phoxlind plate NSB-73D. Should come back to a black or blue dodge charger."

*Kelly and I look at each other*

*As I continue driving, I notice Red and Blue starting to flash inside the car, and on the trees and buildings around us.*

'S**t.'

"128, comes back valid to a Doug McGuire, 1000 Keller Street, Phoxlind."

*I slow down and pull over into the shoulder. I roll down the windows, turn on all the lights inside the car, put the parking brake on, get my licnese and ERT ID out of my wallet and put my hands on the steering wheel. I spotlight shines through the back window, and an officer gets up, and begins walking to the passenger side window*

'Kelly get the registration and insurance out of the glove compartment'

*She gets it and hands it to me.*

'Evening sir, can I see license, registration, and proof of insurance?'

'Yup.*

*I hand him everything including the ERT ID. He looks at it with a flashlight.*

'You know why I puled you over tonight?'

'Yeah, 95 in a 75.'

'Precisely.'

*He looks at the ERT ID*

*He hands me everything*

'Well, I'll leave you with a warning tonight. Go the speed limit, it's for everybody's safety. And Being a member of ERT is no excuse, but I support fellow officers so I'm not citing you tonight.'

'I understand, thank you.'

'You're welcome. Buckle up, drive safe, and stay safe out there.'

'Thank you officer, you be safe too.'

'Thanks.'

*He walks back to his car*

'128 I'll be 10-98 from the stop. Verbal Warning.'

*I turn off the lights, roll up the windows, and drive away. Kelly starts laughing.*

Kelly: 'That's going on facebook.' *She pulls out her phone and goes on facebook*

Me: 'Yay.'

*We drive to the Hoboken Pizza, pick up our food, and drive home*

*I pull up outside and walk in, clipping my pager to my belt as I walk in. The cashier, an attractive blonde who can't be older than I am, looks up.*

"Hi, can I help you?"

"Yeah, I'd like a medium mushroom and pepperoni pizza and a Coke."

"Okay. That'll be 7.30, please."

*I give her a 10 and get my change back. I drop a few bucks in a jar labeled 'College Money' next to the register and turn to walk off.*

"Thanks!"

*I turn back to her and smile.*

"It's no problem. What are you going to college for?"

"Pre-med."

"Really? That's interesting. I'm an EMT."

"You're an EMT? That's so cool! I'd like to be a doctor. Who do you work for? ERT?"

"Yeah, ERT."

"Oh, that's way cool. Only a few thousand more bucks, then I'm off for college."

"Keep working for it, you'll get there."

*We chat for a while, stopping when she gets a customer. We exchange phone numbers and names, then I leave when I get my pizza.*

*Me, my wife, and Kyle walk in. The hostess walks up. She seats us*

(Me)'Could I get a Large Pizza with Peperoni and extra chese?'

(Watress) 'Sure hold on'

*We eat our pizza and get back into my truck, but it won't start. I do everything I know to do, but it still won't start.*

'Hold on honey.'

*She rolls her eyes at me as I call Anders.*

'Anders can you please come help me? My truck won't start and My whole family is here.'

*We pull in and I open her door and lock the car as we go inside*

'two'

Man: right this way

*we sit at a booth next to a window*

'So, how's the PD work lately?'

I walk in with him. "It's been fine, made a few arrests and the like. I got took off probation though. That was good." I sit down in a chair and Austin does the same.

"Off of probation. That's nice. I remember when I was on probation. Man those were the days haha'

*The waiter comes*

Man: What would you like to drink?

'I'll take a water. What do you want Sarah?

*I hear my pager*

'Ooh the aquad and pumper just got a call'

* On the way to the ETC We come to a stop at a light and I see Hoboken Pizza off to the right. *

' Casey pull us in there for a second. Look for Botfish's car. '

* Casey points it out and we stop next to it. I take off my headset and write a quick note to him. I open my door and get out. I walk over to his car and slap a note on his windshield simply saying [ Raincheck on Training Pump-11 ] I calmly walk back to the engine get in and close my door. I put my headset back on and hear the rest of the crew chuckling to themselves. *

' What? we're not gonna do that to him after this last call, All i wanna do is go resupply, and go bac to the house. Casey lets head to ETC now please. '

* casey puts it in gear and chuckling he drives us off. *

*we finsh up eating then I pay the watier we get in the car and head back*
