police reports

both my roommate and i work at bars.
we come in pretty late at night sometimes.
last night some guy followed my roommate home and tried to talk his way into our apartment.
around 5am i woke up to hear her talking loudly to someone from the top of the stairs.
this guy was claiming to be our neighbour, and needed something for a leaky water pipe that he said would leak into our apt...i don't think he realized that behind the door were stairs to the top floor, and there was nobody above us to be leaking water into our apt...nor did he realize that our only neighbour doesn't speak english.
nice try though, buddy.
standing at the top of the stairs we told him we couldn't help him and waited for him to leave. it's a frightening feeling to hear somebody waiting outside the door and wondering what they were going to do next--was he going to try and get in? or was he going to leave?
after what seemed like an eternity, i heard him going down the stairs and out the front door.
my roommate ran to the window and all she saw was a baseball cap and baggy pants walking up the sidestreet across the way.
i was definitely in fight or flight mode.
i thought for sure my heart would pop out of my chest.
scary stuff.
