in downtown dallas or something, with elise. all sorts of craziness going on, but we don't really know why. dad (?) is with us, and we're sort of following him around, but he's being vague about what's going on. eventually we realize that thousands of army troops have been deployed outside the capitol building and he's somehow managed to keep us from noticing (to avoid stressing us out or something.. i think we're kids).

he disappears, and we're trying to get out of the craziness. we end up going down one of hte main streets past the building, and turning into a mall, and passing through a buffet place. we have monopoly pieces that we put on the conveyor belt. when we get through, i pay $2. off we go.

later, i tell a story about how i hid the pieces.

i'm a cop or chp guy, having a semi-annoying conversation with a coworker guy. they're walking away sort of when i notice 3 funky looking chp guys about to take a car. i start chatting with them and notice that one of them has a super dirty shirt, and the others look off somehow. i ask him why his shirt is dirty and they say they just got back from south america. i ask whereabouts and he says laos. i ask them when they stole the car (such that i'm making sure the coworker is in earshot and pays attention), and they say no, they're getting back from laos, what's my problem. i tell them laos is in asia, and he says "uh, no, south america" and i have a moment of doubt.

i tell them i need to see id and start walking them toward my car. at some point things start getting hectic and it degenerates into a hand to hand fight with one and the other two run off. coworker starts chasing them. i'm trying to pull my 9mm but the action keeps jamming, some of the rounds are in the clip backwards and when i shoot to disable i either miss or it jams. after an unreasonable amount of shots to his head he finally stops.

the guys far away are shooting..
