Progress of an Occupation (Update Two)
Apr. 30th, 2007 03:55 pmI got confirmation that the corner-stander is not in a progressive career at all; he's in his niche. He IS a cop, an undercover cop. Obviously not very well-hidden at all, huh? The other day, I walked by his standard corner and he wasn't there! While I was walking down the last staircase to the subway, I was wondering where he could have gone or if he had gone to his "day job". At the bottom of the stairs, I had to move to my left away from a group of (hot) polyester-clad cops. He was amongst the group and chatting with the guys. Behind them all in the corner was a woman laying on the ground with an oxygen mask and her head leaning on the wall. Two cops were kneeling next to her and leaning over her making sure that she was OK, and the other cops, with my undercover guy, were shielding her from on-coming foot traffic. So, that mystery is over and the guy's cover is now completely BLOWN!
