It may have been Arby's. I think I would love Arby's. I don't know what it was because I would subconsciously just think, oh, I love Arby's.
At that point, I could have left it on. I don't know what I said. It was the most difficult part to actually put into the book because I don't know what I said. Everything else, I had notes and memorialized little things on napkins that I'd wad up like snot rags if there was something significant or write the story when I got home in my report that I never filed.
But this, I was just like, I have no earthly idea what I said. And I was scared to death. And I know I talked, which they tell me now is a part of a training protocol. You keep talking through these stressful situations. I don't know what I said, but I was talking just thinking, I am so freaking screwed right now. And honestly, I was as paranoid about...
having a violent confrontation as I was about this thing ending before I got to the head of the snake. I mean, I was a little bit overly psycho about what I was willing to keep this case going because I had put in so much time and effort and there was nobody else working with me.
Obviously, outside the scenes, I had an agent assigned to the case, but I was in there alone doing all these hours and putting in all this time. I was going to be damned if I had to cut it short because a freaking TV show came on, but I was certain this is not going to end well. I don't have the key to the burglar bar door. This is going to be bad. Yeah. Oh, man. Yeah.
So I just the most anticlimactic part about it is that I just filibustered. I call it a filibuster. I just talk about whatever it is. I'm going to keep talking until this is over. And thank goodness it's over. And then I'm hauling through the deal. And I probably look like a complete amateur doing this dope deal. But they couldn't have been on point at that time.
Got the deal done, was hauling ass. Man, I just remembered I got something else. And we go out the door and my informant jumps in the passenger seat. I'm just looking at him. He's, what is up with you? He's all looking at me confused too. He had no freaking idea. Oh, he didn't notice. No, obviously nobody noticed.
Or that would have come around. But at that point, once I left with my life and my sanity, I thought. That's not good. This is in my mind now. Now I'm super paranoid. If that thing's still showing to the extent that we could be in a trap and this is literally what they're watching.
How many times are they rolling? I mean, I don't know how many times this comes on all the time because it's Fort Worth. I don't know. It's the middle of the night. Half these folks are up. Am I going to walk into the next house and they'd be like, saw you on TV?
Yeah. Yeah. But there's something beautiful, I think, about guys in uniform. I used to know people that I'd work with, and then I would see them out of uniform and just not recognize them. And I think civilians think even more like that.
If they know who a police officer is, they just have a particular kind of look, and you put them in street clothes, and they just don't recognize them the same way. And I think that was fortunate in this case, that it would just think there was a separation. Not to mention the high and tight, barely any hair look. Right, right, sure. I damn sure could have grown out any hair I wanted, and I didn't.
This was the difficult part. And this is why, had I gone through training, I would have figured out that this is really against the rules. Not that I didn't know it was against the rules. But look, I'm trying to be a big time guy. And obviously, if I've been working with cartel guys and had this big operation going, I can't be out here dealing with these little punk gangbangers.
And then somebody called me out. The worst thing they can do is call you a snitch. even better than if you're deemed a cop, you just run the risk of getting some kind of violent repercussions. But almost certainly you would if you're a snitch, because there's a lot less repercussions for you if they find a snitch in a ditch versus finding a cop in the ditch.
There's going to be a hunting party coming out. So I think I was so well known by then that they just thought I was a snitch. Nobody really thought about a cop. And The reason why it happened was it was the same little gangster hopping that I did where I was talking to this one dude. And in typical doper gangbanger fashion, he was giving me what I needed.
And so he thought he was doing me righteous, but would show up late all the time because... intermediate level doper or whatever show up. And so I leveraged that as, hey, man, I don't play like this. I need people to be on time. I'm running a business. I don't know what you think you're doing or whatever. And I just had to play it off because, again, I have a case on you already.
For me to just keep buying is just wasting a bunch of money. I need to be spending somewhere else because I need to put other crips on this conspiracy case. So I end up going up the street, literally around the corner from where this cat is, When he doesn't show up on time, I just take off. I go around the corner and I start talking to somebody else around there.
By this time, it's not even hard for me to go talk to other people because everybody at least has heard of me. So I at least can stop by and have a conversation. I don't even remember at the time. I know I ended up getting something from them, but I don't even remember if I was actually buying anything significant.
It was probably just, I'm just going to go over here and feel these guys out because I at least have that excuse in my mind. Like, man, you didn't show up on time. I can't be sitting around in the curb. We got cops all over the place. You're going to find some white dude in a Mercedes car. Hello. And apparently he drove by and saw me.
And that's when he started saying, man, this dude's a snitch because he's thinking in his mind, I've been selling this guy righteous. And now all of a sudden he's over here. What is he even doing over here? There's no reason to be going to one of my fellow guys. And so he puts this jacket on me is what they call it. They give you the jacket. It's a label as a snitch. And my informant is calling me.
in a panic because he knows the risk that he runs. If he made an introduction to this guy four months ago and then all of a sudden it comes out that I'm some kind of snitch, He's going to be the first guy they drag in and try to figure out what's going on, too. So he calls me in a panic in the middle of the night. One of those guys, he's infamous for just calling.
