Before you can protest the wicked start loading your stuff in the back of the van and none too gently.
If they are treating your baggage with such disrespect, how are they going to treat an organic object like yourself, you start thinking?
Why did the airtime people and the phone company choose today of all days to bar your out going calls.
Confidence is not high.

19. As the last of your possessions are flung into the van, the trepidation that you are experiencing
starts to get the better of you.
You look to see if you can make a break for it. But you have two choices, slim and none.
A nun is a member of a female holy order and Slim has left town, so neither of them are about to offer assistance.
So you reluctantly enter the back of the van, where you are made to sit between two evil smelling policemen as the others pile in.
You say silent prayers at this point.

20. The rear doors of the van slam shut and the van takes off at high speed with sirens blaring.
Where you are going, you don't know?
There are no windows and with all the rocking of the van you feel that you are on the roller coaster ride to Hell.
Plus the looks that you are getting from the wicked inside the van does not bode well.

21. After what seems like an eternity the van screeches to a halt and the back doors are flung open.
The police pile out of the van, each grabbing a piece of your luggage as they exit into the night air.
You sit there wondering what is going on, then you hear,
"Come on then, get out!"
You turn to see a policeman indicating for you to leave the van.
You take a very deep breath, close your eyes and rush out of the van.

22. You stumble as you exit the van at high speed, and hit the ground with a sickening thud!
As you are being picked up and in your dazed and confused state, you believe you are about to be murdered,so you cry out,
"Where di rass is dis!" and an answer comes back, "Isn't this where you wanted to go mate?"
You open your eyes and look around to find yourself in a car park .
The very same car park from which the tour bus will depart.
The other band members are staring agog and in disbelief from the tour bus windows as the police load
your stuff onto to it.

23. You cannot believe what you are seeing, it's surreal.
The police finish loading your stuff and they are walking back to the van you nod as they pass.
The last policeman stops, looks you straight in the eyes and says
"We love a bit of Bob Marley down the station we do."
He then continues on into the back of the van, shutting the doors behind him.
Then without further ado the van with sirens blaring and lights flashing roars off into the night.
You look across to see everyone has come off the tour bus and are standing in a line looking at you in
wide red eyed amazement.

24. How the rass are you going to explain this?
