So this all happened when the subscriber was coming back from
school. So normally his mom picked him
up but he got a call or his mom called in to school.
So his teacher came over and told him.
Hey man like you know your mom can't pick you up today.
You can walk home though. Here's the thing, the subscriber
did not live that far away from home.
It was maybe a 15-minute walk and the walk just went through
residential neighborhoods. Nothing too sketchy.
It's not like he was going through some like really crazy
part of town. So the subscriber was like, all
right, that sounds good enough. So anyways as the Day is ending
up. The subscriber is, you know,
about to go on a walk back home. So he gets up and he checks out
with school and he starts walking the direction of his
house. However, if the subscriber was
to take a right at this intersection, he could go over
to a convenience store and he could, you know, pick up a few
things, a few snacks, whatever and you know, could make his
Friday night a little bit nicer or he could go left and he could
just go home. This was a crucial decision
sometimes in life, you just Have decisions where they completely
change the course of your day and seems so inconsequential.
If the subscriber decided to go left and go home instead of
going, right? And going to the convenience
store quickly, none of this would have happened.
There would have been no one would have been after him.
There wouldn't have been a whole kidnapping scare, and there
wouldn't have been a Story Time video today.
So, yeah, the subscriber chooses to go, right and goes to the
convenience store. And that's where we get our
story today. I hope you can have the takeaway
from this video of just just be careful out there anyways.
So the subscriber is heading towards the convenience store,
he doesn't really think that much of it.
He's been to the store actually quite a few times and you know
sometimes his mom will actually just drive them like over here
if they want to. If he's like, I don't know if
she's in the mood and he wants something, she'll go ahead and
give him something from the convenience store so it's not as
if this is the first time he's ever been there, however it is
kind of interesting. Acting on a slightly sketch,
your side of town if that makes sense.
Definitely a lot more dangerous. And however, though it's kind of
on the outskirts of it and the subscriber is just going to the
convenience store, he's not doing anything else.
Anyways, those, so the, so the subscriber walks over to the
convenience store, he has his wallet on him.
So he has a little bit of money is like five bucks, but if
you're going to a convenience store you're picking up like
some snacks or something. Nothing too deep.
And so the subscriber is in the convenience store and he's
walking down the aisles. And so, while he's walking down
the aisles, he notices, or here's like kind of like the
Bell, you know, kind of like the Bell that rings when the door
opens. So some people also walk in, I
mean nothing suspicious. It's just a convenience store,
of course, people are going to walk in or so, we thought
anyways though, so the subscribers just kind of like,
you know, he's mind his own business chilling.
Trying to like, figure out. Find all the snacks he wants and
that's when he's, so it's a long row with all the snacks and
Turns his head to look down the row and looking down the row.
Is just this like guy who just gives them the absolute creeps.
He's got like this big hood on. He's kind of slouched over a
little bit and the thing that was the scariest to him was that
this guy was staring directly at them and not like, I don't know.
I definitely accidentally just like stare at people.
Like I don't know if you guys have experienced this, where
you're just kind of like spacing out and then you like on snap
back to it and you realize you've been dissed staring at
this person into their soul for like the last 10 minutes and you
just didn't even realize. However you can kind of tell
when it's like a Blank Stare like that versus when it's a
very intentional and a very just intense stare if you know what I
mean. So yeah.
Anyways though the subscriber is just you just feels really weird
by this and this is another example as I think so many
examples, like this have come up my other Story Time videos where
it's just trust your instincts because they're not going to
always be. Right.
But if it's not that like difficult to like trust them,
like if it's not to go that, like, I don't know costly to go
through with what they're saying.
For example, his instincts are telling him, let's get out of
the store. Right?
Let's get out of here. I mean, the worst case
scenarios. Like you just can't have the
snacks. Which oh no, not the snacks man.
But yeah, this is just another pretty good example of why you
should trust your instincts. Anyways, he just feels super off
by this and he puts actually puts the snacks back and he
walks out the store because he's You know what?
I just feel weird but the suspicions were right, because
the person the suspicious person who is in the convenience store
follows the subscriber out. And so this point the subscriber
is like, okay, I should start walking back and I should start
doing it quickly. And that's when he notices that
the, the suspicious guy is walking towards an unmarked
white van. Like this could not play out
more like just Textbook at this point.
And so the subscribers are in feel a little bit weird.
So there is a long path back to his house.
That goes through look residential area.
But then there's also a detour where he can go kind of through
like the city side because they're close to a city and
through the city. Hue be able to maybe it wouldn't
be as it was more dense, it's more densely populated and the
route back to his house like Like the route back to where his
neighborhood starts is almost like not an abandoned street.
But it's a very it's a Barren straight, right?
So the thing is, he sees the guy get into his van and a guys,
like looking at them from the inside of his car.
So immediately, the subscriber is pretty weird out.
He is pretty freaked out and he is definitely a little worried.
At this point. The subscriber really felt like
something was up. So he actually made the decision
instead of walking on the somewhat Barren Road to get back
to his neighborhood. You could have easily been
picked up, he decides to make a turn towards the city so the
city is a little bit, you know, scarier whatever.
And it's definitely going the other direction, but the
subscribers intuition /. You've got Instinct was in fact.
Correct? Because the unmarked white van
just like pulls up, like screeches out of the like, the
parking lot and starts pulling up right next to him.
And yes, it starts getting closer and closer in the
subscriber, notices this. So, we quickly makes a turn down
one of the alley. He's in the city, right?
Because like the alley, there's a there in the city.
There's a ton of Like, Houses, whatever not houses but like,
you know, businesses corner stores.
And there was a bunch of like and then there's also alleys
where they go down, so the subscriber bolts down, one of
the alleys and sure enough, the unmarked white van stops like
pulls to the side. In the sky, the same guy gets
out. At this point, the subscribers
heart is like beating a bajillion beads per second.
He the adrenaline is rushing and at this point he realizes that
he is actually in When danger at this point.
So this point right? The subscriber is down the
alleyway and he's running. And at this point he's just
really hoping that you know, he's not going to like that that
the Ali continues on and that it's not a dead end dead end.
So yeah, the dead end would be the worst case scenario but
thankfully for the subscriber he can keep going.
So, anyways, at this point, he realizes that, you know, this is
a grown adult. This is scary and also that he
can't just He probably isn't going to try and outrun this guy
because he has no idea his capacities.
So, the subscriber books, it and then takes a left into a random
like noodle shop. So, in the noodle shop, there's
like a bunch of other people there and he just heat.
The subscriber, literally just goes in sits down in the
bathroom and locks the door. So it's a one-person bathroom.
This isn't like multi-person bathroom or whatever.
So the subscriber looks up at the peephole and he's looking
through the people and he sees The door open and sure enough,
the sketchy guy comes in. So, sketchy guy walks in and
he's looking around. And the thing is, I think the
sketchy guy did not know exactly.
Which I think he saw that the subscriber made like a quick
left into one of the shops, but didn't know exactly, which one,
so this point, right? The subscriber sees the sketchy
guy, kind of, like, darting around looking inside the shop,
and then, leaving abruptly to go, and look into another one.
So, the subscriber walks Out of the bathroom very like quickly
and is about to run up to the door when he sees the sketchy
guy, turn around like from outside like eggnog hard turn
around. It looks outside and sees the
sketchy guy exit, one of the shops again and starts walking
towards the noodle shop once more.
So this point, the subscriber instead of going to the bathroom
just turns and opens the supply, a Supply, Closet and shuts, it,
right? No one saw him do this.
There's like, two people in this.
Up the person behind the counter was looking the other way.
And so the Supply Closet also had kind of like didn't have a
peephole, but it had vents so he was able to look through the
vents and subscriber sees as the the so someone else was in the
bathroom because once the subscriber left, someone went
into the bathroom which is one of the reasons why he didn't go
back into their. But thankfully he didn't because
the sketchy guy waited it like saw someone was in the bathroom
and then sits down to it will like not he's not ordering
Noodles. But sit down at one of the like
the tables waiting for someone to leave the bathroom.
It's about 10 minutes later, some random guy exists, the
bathroom in the sketchy guy looks obviously very upset
because I think he was like waiting assuming that he that
this that the subscriber was sitting in there.
So he gets up and he runs he doesn't.
He like quickly walks out thinking I've lost, I waste all
this time, this could be anywhere.
So this point right the subscribers like, okay, this is
getting legit. So anyways, the subscriber, you
know, goes up to the door, looks to the Window and just doesn't
see anyone, right? Doesn't see, you know, doesn't
see the, you know, or not doesn't see anyone but he
doesn't see the sketchy person. So, he quickly leaves the shop,
what you should have done in this situation, is told the
person who works there. What's up, the person who works?
There would have protected this kid and also called either, and
the police and or his parents. But anyways, right, I'm just
telling the story as I was told it.
So the subscriber leaves a noodle shop and then books, I'm
going to leave that in. Sorry, that's a room attention
or anything, but there's a sneeze by the way.
Anyway, so he looks both ways. And the guy either must have
been somewhere else or just was in another shop and he just
Sprints down the street. So the subscriber he says
running down the street, he gets back to the gas station and
starts running towards where his neighborhood starts.
And for some reason once again the Fibers instincts, I'm saying
this again like pay attention to your instincts guys because
sometimes they can actually save you in these situations but
anyways, right? The subscriber he's running,
okay, so he's basically lost the guy, he is no reason to think
that otherwise but for some reason he just gets a feeling
like a gut feeling like go like hide.
So the subscriber just out of pure Instinct jumps behind a
bush and he's a sitting behind the bush.
Like why am I sitting behind this bush but for some reason,
he just Feels like okay I gotta stay here and he kind of looks
through the bush a little bit and he sees the white van, the
unmarked white van could have been a coincidence.
Could have been another one, we don't know.
But let's assume that it was because there's not a ton of
unmarked white Vans, especially in such a situation.
Like this went right by him. Somehow his subconscious just
told them hide at this point. And he hid just in time so that
they are remembered, the subscriber sitting, the bush
like terrified, I'd that the guy, the sketchy guy saw him
jump into the bush and now he's going to be the easiest heart of
all time, but no, the van keeps going and goes by him.
So the subscriber Waits there, for a good, like, 20 minutes or
whatever and sees, no sign of the van no sign of anything.
So he very cautiously leaves. The book, the bush, and then
Sprint's towards his neighborhood.
Once he's in his neighborhood, he just keeps running back home.
He feels a lot more safer in the neighborhood because it's a lot.
It's possible, but it's lat. A lot more difficult since a lot
is a good day out today. So, a lot of people were outside
in their yards and they probably would have seen something,
especially if you made a commotion.
Yeah. Anyways, the subscriber kind of
books, it back to his house opens up the door, his mom's
like, where have you been like, I've been so worried and
subscriber didn't really have a phone at that time or if you
did. He wasn't allowed to bring it to
school. Subscriber says everything
obviously, is mom is like, freaking out or whatever and
she's like, you better not be lying about this and
subscribers. Like I'm telling you I represent
the truth here and so, you know, they call it the police.
They give a full report. There was a whole warrant
warrant. I don't know if it's actually
warm, but the police were looking for this guy after that
point, and they never found them.
They never found this guy. They arrested someone like many
months later, that might have been him.
So, the police gave a call to the parents saying, hey, like we
don't know if it's this guy it probably isn't, but we just
wanted to keep you in the loop but still to this day it's
unsure if this guy still out there.
So yeah Needless to say, the subscriber is not allowed to
walk home anymore. If his parent if his mom can't
pick them up, she's just like stay at the school, don't head
back and that was probably the craziest experience of the
subscribers life. If you want to support the
