What's that noise?

Tonight at work, a cop friend of mine called me. He's undercover in a city that is not madison. He was doing surveillance, and it wasn't of the traffic variety. Well, not car-type traffic anyway! I could hear his scanner in the background, and it was pretty cool! He used to call a lot while he lived in the area, but it's been a while. So tonight when he said, in a rushed manner "I gotta go. Talk to you later." I knew he meant business! I used to work for the police department (not a cop, just a records clerk) and the business has always intrigued me. I have done a number of ride-alongs...some exciting, some not so much. I know I could never be a cop. I don't have the balls for it. And I'm too emotional. I'd be crying all the time. So I just look on in wonder. Like when I was on a ride along and the cop had to kick in the door to a suspect's apartment. Bam. Bam. Bam. The door was broken!!! Some people have issues with cops. I don't. I respect them (for the most part) and know that (for the most part) they're trying to keep me safe. So I try to not get in their way! (for the most part, of course)! Before he called, I was reading an article online about another agency in the area who recently encountered one of their officers being shot at, and that is another reason why I could never be a cop, or be married to one. Shots fired? No thanks, I'm done! My husband works on computers. It's pretty safe, as far as I can tell. No shots fired in the 2.5 years we've been together!!!
