Another Eerie memory

You don't intend to, just that it happens. Especially if you have it in your stars to be in the middle of some crime scene unasked, unplanned. The Gods up there have a way with some of us. So there I was, walking home and the distance from the school bus stop to home was hardly ten minutes. But then sometimes, especially when   you are the first to reach an empty house and you dislike that emptiness, you sometimes can make that ten minutes a half hour. So I take that one day's freedom and take another route to reach the same point of daily return. I see a dim light from a usually locked old building. I am curious, am already in the middle of a detective story I read and I look in through the narrow gap in one of the windows. I see a burly, dark skinned man  loading big, wooden boxes inside an old, dusty car. He then changes the number plate of his car. He does it easy, so I decide he is the smuggler. I stand there imagining me report it at the police station and possibly winning an award for bravery. He goes behind the car and I know he must be changing the number plate at the rear. Ten minutes gone, he doesn't emerge from there, I strain further to look in.... then I feel a giant shadow almost near and then I think I reach home in a second....I don't sleep that night, I am sure that burly giant of a smuggler would be hiding just under my window, I close my eyes tight not wanting to see him come in through the window, I just pray with eyes closed tight, "God don't let that man find me, in return you can have my bravery medal".
