Double Distilled, Check points and the Freaking LTTE!!

OK, Driving under the influence is bad or rather illegal… D.U.I on a night when the whole city is on lock down, with freaking cops all around cause of a damn Tiger attack!! Now aint that sh*t!! But what to do? Have to go home, and have to go to work tomorrow also..!!

So, From Dehiwala to Town Hall, and back down the High-level road! Passing check points, holding breath... down the ghostly roads we went while the whole city was gulped in utter darkness…

All was shape it seemed, danger is gone. Passed Nugegoda… Yippie!!...

But wait!!..! Is that a mobile check point up ahead?? Dammit! Better go behind that white car...

Ahh it worked!! They are being stopped!!! Time to hit the gas…!! Going through like the wind…

…Phrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…!!!

Oh nooo….did I hear a sharp whistle blowing from behind??!!!

Adoooo Nawathapaaaaaang!! Screamed my friend in the back!! He was drunk but wasn’t passed out like the one in front!!

Hmm..guess we are screwed now, not only did we pissed the buggers off, but we are getting caught red handed…. What to do.. I thought… Getting out with my N.I.C...

Here come the running soldiers…

“Mahathayala Koheda Yanne?” Asked an inquisitive sergeant, while another soldier with a smirk on his face, flashed a torch down the face of my passed out friend...

“Gedara Yanawa officer...” stumbled my weary mouth, keeping a safe distance to avoid the inevitable liquor mixed tobacco smell...

“Ai nawaththuwe naththay?? He inquired, explaining that if we had gone a bit more we would be counting bullet holes not only in the car but all over our bodies as well. I wanted to reply back saying that we never saw a stop sign, but no point in arguing...

I asked about the attack. He explained that there has been an attack in Colombo; all vehicles coming out are being checked it seems... Can’t blame them, they are just doing their duty…

Hmm guess we are clear it seems, he just checked my ID and told us that we can go…Luckily the only available Kossa was checking out another vehicle that had been stopped before us…So no D.U.I charges in prospect...

Got home safe…but yet to know about the attack fully!! Freakin LTTE!! sigh*

Gotta go and sleep, quite tired...
