What should you do if a police officer comes to your house and asks for someone who doesn't live there anymore?

How long have you lived here? I told him. Do you know xxx? Never heard of him.

“We had information that he was living in the outbuilding in the back. This house used to belong to his grandmother.” I had remodeled that “shed” in back so it was insulated, air conditioned and had my scroll saw studio, lathe station, a work bench, layout table and 8 x 10 isolated finishing room. I offered to take him back and show him the shed.

We had been living in our home about six months. I am working in the garage with the vehicle door open. I catch movement out of the corner of my eye. I make my tools safe and walk out to see what is going on. It is an Marshall who displays his badge and asks if I am xxx. “No” and gave him my name.

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?

As we left the shed, there are three more Marshalls in the pasture behind us. Six people total to pick up a parole violator? Never heard from them again.

As I stepped toward the shed I realize that there are two more Marshalls. We walked around back and I entered my PIN on the keypad lock and we entered. 50F outside and inside was a comfortable 67F. He takes a tour and remarks that it is a huge improvement over what was there before. “What did this guy do.” “Minor drug dealer, non-violent, skipped parole.”
