Suspicious Activity

The trailer in question was a double-wide. You could already tell it was bigger than most of the others in the park as you and Elise approached it. As when you first arrived at the trailer park your mind scans for threats around you. You could read Elise and Karen Brockmen's thought. That was good that meant no one else was watching you.

Elise was a bit nervous. It was a trailer park and you were heading to an unknown situation so that was normal. You send a thought her way to calm her down a bit. A nervous cop was never a good thing. With your thought she lets out a sigh. Brockmen was eager to see what happens next. She was truly the nosy neighbor. You shove a thought her way. She really needed to mind her own business.

Karen yawned. She suddenly felt tired. The big woman checked her wall clock it was still early way before she usually turned in for bed. She yawned again and continued to watch the two cops heading to the trailer where she had seen strange people come in and out of all day. By strange people, they were people that she never saw before. In the end she did not think they were suspicious but she did not like strangers. Another wave of tiredness hit her and she was thinking her bed or the sofa was looking good. Reluctantly Karen pulled herself from her window and waddled over to her sofa. As soon as she sat down she was out like a light and snoring loudly.

Jeez that woman was nosy...you thought. You had to use more of your mental energy than you would have liked on her. Brockmen was out of your hair now and hopefully her neighbors' at least for the rest of the evening. Your mind re-focuses on the double-wide. Still nothing. You would have gotten something by now but no one in the trailer was looking your way so you could not read their thoughts. You could not see them, you could not hear them so you could not force your mind's will on them.

Reaching the trailer, you mentally nudge Elise back. She unconsciously falls a step behind you. Elise was a take charge kind of cop and usually was the first to the door on calls. She almost noticed that you had knocked on both trailers, you manage to sweep that realization from her mind easily. Elise does places her hand on her holstered Glock as you got ready to knock. You didn't stop her, you had no idea what was behind the door.

You knock. You hear voices immediately. You relax as thoughts come flooding into your mind. The trailer had six occupants none of whom lived in the park. The trailer's owner rented the large trailer out as sort of a Air BnB. There was nothing shady going on. No one was armed and no one had thoughts of violence. There was some nervousness with the person that was answering the door. A young guy named Mario. You mentally calmed him down as he opened the door.

Mario was a good looking African-American man, slender and fit, dressed in trendy urban attire. "Oh officers..." he stammered surprised to see the two cops.

"Hello sir," Elise greeted from behind you. You had her remove her hand from her Glock. It took a little pushing but her hand dropped away. She was a bit more nervous again too. You calm that down. This really was not the time to be nervous. Especially when there was nothing going on. Elise identified the department and herself and then you.

"We had a report of suspicious activity from one of the neighbors," you explained gesturing over your shoulder towards Brockmen's trailer.

"Suspicious?" Mario asked. "We haven't been doing anything."

Mario was telling the truth it was just him and his friends having a little get together. They had some beers and greasy food. They just wanted a place to have some fun. It looked like a fun evening so far. Along with Mario he had his friend Rodger, Angelo and three lady friends Lana, Ingrid and Darlene. All were around his age early to mid-twenties.

"We're just checking that's all," you explain.

"The cops, what the fuck!" Angelo appeared at Mario's side. He was taller and bigger than Mario and had dreads. "We haven't been doing anything!"

"Hey no one said you were, calm down," Elise said her hand was back on her Glock. The small act alone made the two men nervous.

Hey calm down," you say raising your voice so all the attention was on you. "We're just checking that's all, we're not here to bust you up. One of the residence here just thought there was something going on. We're just checking for them."

"It was that old fat lady," Angelo said looking over your shoulder towards Brockmen's trailer. He turned to his friend, "She was giving me looks when I came."

"Why are the cops here?" Lana asked as she appeared next to the two men. She was short, big breasted and a cutie. She was Latina and though her face had too much make-up on it you thought she was still attractive.

"We're being suspicious apparently," Angelo said giving you and Elise a look.

You were use to the look. It was that annoyed look you got from people when you showed up in uniform when people were just living their lives. It was an understandable look. You were use to it and it was part of job of dealing with people.

Elise stepped up. She did not like the look. You wanted to pull her back but you have done so too much already. If you kept on pushing thoughts on to her, you could effect her ability to work. "Hey like my partner said, we're just here to check things out."

"We're not doing anything though," Mario said.

"Then would it be okay if we take a look?" Elise asked.

"No!" Angelo shot.

Idiot. You thought. "Come on man," you say. "You don't need to yell, we're standing right here."

"Just let them in, we're not doing anything," Lana said shoving her two friends aside. "Come on in officers," Lana invited she flashed a friendly smile at you and Elise.

You see that Lana thought Elise was hot. She was undressing the small blonde as she stepped into the double-wide. You smirk at the thought. Wasn't the first time people crushed on Elise. She was good looking.

"Hey, you're not doing anything. I know this. Let's us look around so we can tell the residents things are good and we'll be out of your hair," You say to the men as you stepped in behind Elise.

"You could have told them things were good without coming in..." Angelo muttered.

"Yeah we could but you let us in so..." You say with shrug
