I had an awesome night out with Jessica and Joanna. First we went to my coworker's birthday party, then we went to a club called Watergate. I bike by this club every morning and always see people coming out at 8:00AM so I know it must be a good time. We had a proper Berlin night, we watched the sun come up and danced to techno on furniture. We took a cab home at 6:00 but because we were out of cash (due to my unresolved DB situation) and also it was easier, we got out at the corner. We walked down the street and entered my building, chatting about our plans for the day (which would start in only a few hours). We climbed the stairs discussing who would be responsible for our wake-up-call. I opened the door and held it for first Joanna, then Jessica. As soon as Jessica entered, I saw a person behind her. I man in a red Abercrombie Style T-shirt. I slammed the door and Jessica dead-bolted it. We all rushed further inside and asked each other... Did you see that? as we were questioning, the doorbell started to ring. again and again and again. we tried to ignore but it persisted. it kept ringing. again. again. Finally, I looked through the peep hole and said "go away" the man said "Open the door" I replied that we had called the police. "open the door" he asked. "We called the Police" I responded, "they are coming" "...just open the door". I kept saying the police were coming and after a few iterations, left the doorway and went back inside. We looked out the window and saw the guy who was in the peep hole AND ANOTHER GUY running out of my courtyard. I am not sure if they left my building but I don't want to go outside to find out.
I'm glad I'm in condition enough to handle this situation. It is really scary and reminds me of in college when they always say, "Don't allow tailgating". I have never seen or considered tailgating something to take seriously but after tonight I realize how close we came to having TWO strangers in my home...
