Last night, Amanda and I went over to Marcos's apartment in Burbank to watch Dallas play [Marcos liven in Dallas up until a year ago]... I'm not much into basketball, I didn't even know who was playing until he told me, and even then I couldn't tell you one person's name on either team. Anyways, after that - a small group of us followed Lorrie over to her friend's house for a small 'Sinco De Mayo' get-together that was canceled and then un-canceled. Amanda, Lorrie, Eric and myself all showed up at the party at the same time - Marcos and Jolene stopped by her friend's house to pick someone up - this is where this post really begins:

As Jolene was inside, Marcos stayed in the car, I'm guessing because he wasn't feeling well all night, as he was waiting - he watched an oversized van coming down the road, without really stopping or slowing down, it turned onto the street where Marcos was parked. He said he never really saw the 20-something Asian man until he was in the air - he just watched the van turn and then a "thing" caught his eye as it slammed into the front of the van and went swinging through the air, over the roof and then landing behind it.

Marcos ran out of his car with his cell phone in his hand - he said he almost felt prepared because a month and a half earlier, in Studio City, he saw an elderly lady hit by a 40-something asshole in a BMW while doing an illegal u-turn... but he believes she died from the accident - he dialed 911 - a very old couple came out of the van, they were Armenian and didn't speak a lot of English, the man they just sent flying through the air wasn't moving and was bleeding quite a bit.

"All operator are currently busy... please stand by", Marcos couldn't believe it - then, I'm not sure on the details, but somehow the old couple talked Marcos into not staying on the line - at the same time the man started to move around, Marcos tried to get him not to move but he was in shock and stood up saying everything was okay. Here is the strangest part - the old couple said they lived "right there", and pointed across the street, they then led the man they just hit into their van and - supposedly - left for their house.

I think this all happened so fast Marcos didn't have time to let it sink in. I'm hoping that the old couple didn't drive this delirious blood stained man out to the middle of nowhere and leave him... very, very strange.
