Dead Junkies

My cousin and I were working as police officers, and we were supposed to be patrolling an old mall at night. Much of the mall was abandoned, with only a few stores still left. We entered the mall and saw lots of trash, empty stores, empty boxes... a general mess. As we were walking, we saw an old man walking out of of one of the rooms at the far end of the mall. He saw us and ran back into the store he came from, so we chased after him.

We chased him into a store at the far end of the mall, where we discovered that him and a friend were camping out and smoking crack. I grabbed one of the old guys by the shoulder and he turned around and aimed a gun at my head. I just grabbed the gun and wrestled it away from him. I told him that I didn't care if he wanted to shoot at me - it wasn't the first time and it won't be the last. He gave up after that and let my cousin lead him away. The second guy wasn't as cooperative. He saw his friend being handcuffed and taken away, so he decided to turn his gun on himself - and he shot himself in the head.

The detective that came to clean up the scene made it look as good as new, and behind the register on the floor he left a personal check for $150 to make up for the missing money that the old guys had stolen before we had gotten there.
