Counter This

Walking along Avenue of the Americas tonight I noticed a gatherance of about 20 cop cars at 49th street. Wondering what could be the problem I probed a nearby police officer for details. Not noticing he was on the phone, I got the "hold on a sec" gesture and I waited momentarily while he finished his call. After he got off, the answer came, "counter-terrorism employment." No explanation, just that. Oh, I thought to myself, and is it just a coincidence that all 20 squad cars are parked in front of Adel's Halal Shwarma Shack? Hopefully Adel, hopefully.
