Today I was shopping on Jianguo Rd at the big computer store. The strangest thing happened to me. After shopping in the basement of the store and purchasing two items, I conviced Melody to go shopping with me on the upper floors the store. While walking up the stairs a man in a blue shirt seemingly trying to step out of the way of me blocked me. We both side steped and thus were trapped again. Then I made a hard turn and passed the man. After going up the stairs the man passed me on the second floor. He clearly turned his head and made solid eye contact and thus I thought I had bumped him accidently with my hand basket though I had no feeling of doing so. I raised my hand to indicate an apoligy. Melody also said sorry to the man. He slowed down to our speed and kept turning his head back to survey us. At this point I took strong notice of this man. He was wearing a blue polo, young, perhaps 27 by the looks of him. He had black hair, gelled. He wore glasses and he appeared to look like a computer nerd. He was tall and had a small pop belly. As we stolled the store I took special notice of the man as something about him disturbed me, mostly likely it was his continous looks at me. He walked in front of us, as he stepped on the escaltor for the 3rd floor I told Melody, lets not follow him up, hes really creeping me out in a whisper. We swiched gears and walked through the CD's. With no interest in such goods we turned back to the escalator. On the ride up I joked Melody, what if that guy came back down again. We both looked off the escalator and sure enough, he was there, back on the second floor. He had gone up the escalator and instantly came back down. Was he looking for something he saw on the second floor? Why did he come back down suddenly, what was going on? Sure enough nothing to worry about. At this point both Melody and I are very aware of the man and the possibility we are being stalked/followed. When walked swifty around to the next escalator set and noticed the man had instantly jumped back on the escalator coming up from the second to the third floor. Why did he quickly go from 3 to 2 and back to 2 to 3 as fast as we went up one floor. Now the situation was becoming very alarming. Is this guy clearly stalking us in this store? As we went to the 4th floor we thought if he comes instantly up we know he is following us. We went to the back to hide a bit and scope out the situations. Who is this guy? What does he want? We waited a little bit, and nothing, and still nothing. Oh no, there he is. He came. Now he is looking even stronger at us. Making heavy eye contact and making long obvious glances at us. He doesn't look dangerous. Does he know me? Did he follow us here. Many thoughts raced through my mind. We walked swiftly through the store, he went to the next eilse and walked at the same swift pace in the same direction just next to us. As we went to the very back, he stopped at a pile of comic books. He stood there and simply gawked in our direction. To draw out his obviousness we bee lined back and forth throug the short eiles to see if he would follow. Is this guy crazy. Dose he want to ask me something? What the hell is going on? We circled around to the back corner as the man blocked the down escalator. He kept himself centered as we pivoted around his position. I took special observation to see if he had a weapon. Nothing obviously concealed, anything in his pockets? Who knows. He walked 2 of the 4 eisle widths closer. Should we contact the store clerk? Are we in danger? The man stopped at the end of the aisle and squated down to observe something. We held our ground. If he draws nearer we will walk off our postion and circle around. He keeps looking at us heavily and doesn't conceal his actions well. Suddenly he must of realized hes too close. He turns back and walks a few meters away from the exit and away from us. Thats our chance. We go straight for the escalator. We walk surely but slowly. Get on the escalator quitly and let it move us to the 3rd floor. As we sunk past the floor we steathily walked down the metal steps. We ran to the next set and ran down those. Forget if people think we are stealing something, this man is DEFINATLY following us. We ran to the 2nd floor set of steps and ran down those again. We made it out the exit and in full sprint ran back to the motorbike. Melody hid behind the pole as I started and pulled around the motorbike. If he comes out now something violent could happen. Inside was safe, here is not. Its dark, and no one is around in this parking lot. Who is this lunitic? I started the motorbike and pulled around. Melody hopped on and I pulled down the curb. One last look at back towards the door reveal our pursuer was lost. I drove off down a side alley and zigzaged back to the main road. It seemed we were clear of our stalker. Or were we? Does he know who I am? Does he know where I live? He lacked professional grace. Who would want to hire someone to follow me? Do I have any loose ends? I told melody to watch her back for a few days and keep an eye out for the creeper, I will do the same. Everyday brings something new.
