Exactly. As I'm looking at the situation unfold, I can see these guys are not strangers. I recognize them as a trio of kind of motorcycle gang slash Russian mobster vibe folks that my ex-boyfriend Tom at the time had introduced to me as friends a few weeks earlier. When I met them, it was a very uncomfortable vibe, as most of the company that he was keeping were. But they were friendly enough.

There was a leader of the pack. We'll call him Mishka. And Mishka, at one point when I had met him, had told me how he had a deep passion for martial arts. He was wondering if he could teach class to the underprivileged children in my community that I was managing. Oh, boy. It was a really oddly specific request that stuck out a lot.

And, you know, I thought, OK, well, maybe these guys aren't so bad, but also maybe they're not great. And also within that time frame after meeting him, my ex-boyfriend had cancer. brought home like a felony amount of weed.

There was at least a few big bags that I had seen and feeling way in over my head, but not realizing the level of criminal activity of the partner that I was in the trenches with. You know, I saw the weed, and then a couple days later, I didn't see it, and I just didn't really ask any questions. I knew that he had sourced it from these guys, and that's kind of where I left it.

So I assumed that whatever was going on had something to do with drug deal gone bad, some retaliation here of robbing my apartment. Although he was living there, it was filled with my stuff, of course, because he was not contributing a lot to the situation. And so I see these guys and I'm like, what in the world is going on?

And he tells me, go over to your manager's office unit, which was on the other side of the parking lot, like lock the doors, close the windows. I'll take care of it. Just don't call the police. I go over there and I also have security cameras in there so I can see everything that's going on in the unit. And it was close enough that I could also kind of see through the window a little bit.

I'm just watching for what feels like probably like a half an hour or so. Wow. And I'm just seeing Tom just flailing his arms, yelling, trying to slow them down. And they're not trying to like attack him or take him out or anything, but they're just continuing to one by one attack. take everything out into a handful of pickup trucks that they had brought and their motorcycles.

And then the strangest thing occurred. And I'm watching. And all of a sudden, Tom and Mishka just embrace in this like big bear hug. I'm looking at the camera and it looks like there could be tears falling. I am not sure what's going on. And then all of a sudden, like it's a flip of the switch. These guys just start systematically unloading everything back into my apartment. Oh, wow. What?
