"Fightin' the Good Fight" or "My involvement in a drug bust"

SO here I am at work tonight when i come out of some training and there are a few detectives in the lobby talking to the 2nd shift guy. It seems that they had learned that this big deal Drug dealer was staying at a local hotel. Gues which one. Anywho. the kid working 2nd leaves and I get these dudes passed off to me. This was about midnight. they ask me how to go about getting in a room without disturbing the person inside. I show them how to bypass our locks. (By the way, if you ever stay in a hotel people at the desk can get in if they really want and there is NOTHING you can do about it.) after showing the guys how to do it they figure it is to ricky. So I suggest that I call the guy up and state that there is a problem with his credit card. They suggest that I call and tell him there is a problem with a water leak in the room below. This sounds good to me and then we wait for the legal stuff to go through. During conversation, I learn that it seems that this same sort of thing is going on at quite a few places tonight.They are just waiting for them all to go down at the same time. Pretty sweet huh? Anyway, I go back to studying for my exam and they drink a couple of pots of coffee.

Then, at around 2AM, about a dozen people walk in the front door with flak jackets on that say POLICE on them. It's like I'm in an episode of Miami Vice or something. (Thats a shout out to you older folks like me.) I guess I will be on the news tomorrow at least a mention of the incident. So they have me call up to the room and tell the guy that there will be a maintenance man up in a few minutes to let him in cause he has to look around to find the leak. Of course, They are the ones who went up. It went off without a hitch. No complaints from the other guests or anything. They were done before I knew it.

So there is my excitement for the evening. Now back to the studying.
I am just glad that the kid on 2nd shift checked the dude in and not me.
