I miss all the fun

I was walking up one of the main thoroughfares after work, my usual route either by foot or by bus. There were two young people coming out of a pawn shop as I was passing by, she carrying a small dog, he swearing about something. I skirted around them, as they weren't moving quickly, and kept going.

Then I heard a short siren, just a whoop, whoop, as a police car zoomed by from the other direction, heading the opposite way I was. I turned and looked back and saw at least one plainclothes officer muscling a young man into an unmarked car, with the marked police car diagonally across the lane, blocking the way.

And I noticed the young woman with the dog walking on alone.

So I don't know if it was the guy she was with who was taken down (is that the expression?) or someone else.

I could speculate that the guy had caused problems in the pawn shop and that someone there pressed a silent alarm, but if so, I'm not sure how the woman (either late teens or early 20s) managed to escape too.

Gees, I couldn't have been even a minute ahead of the drama; just my (good) luck to have missed it. LOL.
