Right so, this is the tale of me being an enormous idiot.
so it basically runs down as me and my brothers and some friends decide to go to an old abandoned Insane Asylum out in the middle of nowhere for kicks. Its a place called Henryton Sanitarium and it opened in 1920 originally as a Tuberculosis Hospital. After major vaccines were developed that pretty wiped out the white plague in developed countries the place was turned into a school for the mentally disabled. In 1985 it was abandoned and like most places like it in Maryland is pretty much erased from the map. Most major road Atlases don't even list the road its on in outer Maryland, and there is very little information on it to be found on it. But a lot of people know about it, its been a creepy place for kids to go at night for years, and so we wanted to check it out.
The place is like a small city. We park at the entrance since we don't want to take the long way in by the train tracks (which is the recommended way to go, by the way) and proceed to walk 500 or so yards into the main courtyard of the lower complex. Its huge, we basically spend about two hours exploring this place, a lot of its in really bad shape and covered in graffiti but its still pretty cool. Then we run into another group of like eight people (we're six people) and we talk to them for a little while. They warn us that its a terrible idea to park at the front entrance because that's the first place cops go to look for trespassers, and this really bothers me. Not so the other person who drove there 9we took to cars) or any of my brothers or friends. So I walk back alone to the entrance, and when I get to just before the last turn I hear voices. I turn off my flashlight and go up slowly, thinking that its the cops and they're putting a boot on my car or something. But when I get up close I see that its a group of kids gathered around my friend's car. I yell out and they all freak out and pile into their car and run off. I run up to where we're parked and see that the front passenger window of both our cars is busted, her's completely so. They had had the door open and were looking through her glove box and her car looking for valuables I guess. My window is smashed too, but it just has a hole in it and the safety glass is completely spidered out, but the hole isn't big enough for them to have broken inside any further (nothing of value in there anyway, goddamnit).
I call up my older brother and tell him what happened, and they all come running up about ten minutes later. The girl who the other car belongs to starts screaming in rage, I hand her her drivers' license which I found on the hood of her car (who keeps it in the car anyway? seriously) Then a couple of the guys we'd been talking to earlier come up and see what happened, after hearing the noise from us. They tell us that the cops are coming from the other direction and we panic, hopping in our cars. Apparently if you get caught out there its a 400 dollar trespassing fine and you get arrested. So we get in and drive off, but the other car doesn't get far. All of a sudden the rear passenger door of it opens while they're moving and we hear screaming (since, you know, the permanently rolled down passenger window) that car stops all of a sudden and my older brother (who was riding with them) gets out and storms off. They take off, and me, my younger brother and my best friend are just stopped in the center of the road from shock, but then that passes and I throw the car into park, hop out and try to get my older brother into my car. He's pissed, starts screaming at me, and pushes me back, and after about five minutes we give up. He's angry and stronger than me and once he makes a decision he's set in it, so we drive off. We get home, and the other girl's called my parents, and freaked out on them. So they're up and waiting, they're a bit angry, but mostly just tired. I wish I could say that this type of stuff has never happened before, but they're kinda used to my brother at this point. True, this is a relatively unique situation, but hey. We basically stay up for about half an hour, talking and arguing some, but its all in a defeatist way. My insurance is at like a 500 deductable, so its not gonna cover the window, so that's gonna be like 175 bucks including installation. Great.
So me and my friend hop in my car and I start driving him home. I live in Reisterstown and he lives up in Westminster which is about half an hour away. But we only get to Finksburg and my older brother calls me (At this point he's been off by himself for about an hour). he asks me if I can pick him up, and being his brother, I say yes. long story on that drive short I spend the next two hours solid on the road, getting to know the middle of nowhere areas of Maryland pretty well. I pick him up and drop him off at home, then drive my friend out to Westminster (we turned around where we were, panicked a bit so I didn't take him home first). and then drive back to my house. At this point its 5am, I'm tired, and yet I can't sleep. This is about the point I leave the post above, and then search the internet for about an hour before i can finally fall asleep. Man, long night last night.
