So today was interesting. The most part was actually really productive and stuff, and the only thing i needed to leave for was to teach a tai chi class and practice some kung fu with my kung fu brothers and sifu.
So i get to the place, and i start teaching my tai chi class and it's going pretty well for the most part.
Then some teenager, like 15-16 years old just runs into the room! He's gasping for breath and saying, "Please help me, he's threatening to burn me with a blowtorch" and i don't know what's going on, but i see this kid across the street on a bicycle looking at us.
I just sort of shrug and usher him to the backroom, I was still teaching a class, and i just wanted him to catch his breath and let him take a moment. I continue the class, perioidically looking up to see if that guy was still there, but he left like a couple minutes after the kid ran in.
When i checked on him, I saw that he was on his phone, trying to call his mom and dad, and he was speaking to somebody. So I continue class.
He comes in, and asks if he can use my phone, because he wasn't getting any reception. Part of me was a little hesitant because, well he was talking to somebody earlier, and i don't know if he was put up on a dare or something to steal something or whatever, but i was almost done with class, so i told him that if he was willing to wait till the end of my class, then I would let him use my phone so i can watch him. I had no reason to not trust him, but at the same time i know teens get put up to shit. However, I also know Phones can be shitty too, especially since i live in the mountains, reception can really be wonky
Fortunately, a kung fu brother of mine showed up, so i caught him up with the situation. And if he was willing to let him use his phone to call somebody to pick him up. I never got the time to really stop and hear his story, mainly cause my hands were full.
So the class ended, my sifu showed up, and i asked my friend if they took care of it. He said that they couldn't reach the dad, so they called the police to pick him up, given his recent event.
