Went out for breakfast this morning with my girlfriend to Bob Evans around noon. OC, as the norm for me. I noticed the EMA car in the lot as we pulled in and kinda figured I would get questioned.
Before the meal I had to go wash my hands and on my way out of the restroom, the EMA officer was waiting outside for me. He asked of I was with a law enforcement agency and I said nope, just out with my girlfriend. He asked if I had my "permit" and after I said yes I do, I started reaching in my pocket for my wallet.. he stopped me and said "No, I believe you." Cool deal.. didn't ask to see ID or LTCH.
Turns out he kinda recognized me from a car wreck we worked at the FD a few days ago. We chat for a little bit about the wreck and a missing person we ran on in November and that was that. Merry Christmases were exchanged and we went on with our lives.
