Same thing happened to me years ago
[QUOTE=ScorpionFrog;3492375]Then the door rang. She excused herself, which I hate.
30 seconds later, she came over and said: "honey, you need to put your clothes back on, police here. ".
What?
As I calmly put my clothes on, she came back and handed me all my change back.
By this time I heard LE loudly twice asking for the door to be opened. So I walked out the massage room and asked the panicked stricken poor lady to open the door and let me out. She did.
LE walked in and asked who the owner was and whether I was the owner. I said, "what? No. " They asked what I was doing there. I said I came for a massage. They said there was a report of illegal activities going on there. They kept asking for a permit. The lady said she didn't speak English. One of the guys pulled me aside, said: "you are not in any trouble" and asked if I witnessed any sexual activities going on. I said no calmly, because I didn't, and proceeded to walk out the door when one of LE asked if I wasn't staying. I thought to myself, he must surely be joking. I shook my head and walked out. Got in my car and drove off.
I would like to thank this board for helping me stay calm and not panic thereby making the situation worse for myself.[/QUOTE]The cops started banging on the door, so the owner told me to get dressed, and slowly went to the door, making sure that everyone else was ready for the raid. By the time she let the cops in and they made it upstairs, I was dressed and sitting on the chair. The cop asked if I was getting a massage, and I answered "I was about to when you showed up. ".
He tried to wheedle me into admitting that I was there for sex, so I told him that I come to the place for a real massage, but I've heard that people go to places in DC for sex.
He left, then came back and said "We have a problem. One of the women admitted having sex with you, so you'd better come clean. " I answered "You just made that up trying to scare me. Nothing happened, and no one would have said that it did. " At that point, they relented, gave the owner a ticket for some license violation, and left.
Then the owner came back in, we made furious love on the table, and she took me into the kitchen, poured me a beer, and cooked me dinner. Everything after the massage was personal, not business. I would pay her for massage, but she didn't want to be paid for the sex; she did it because she liked me. And she always brought me into the back to have dinner with her and the other ladies.
She even came to my place to see me, and I had an amazing encounter with her in the shower that ended with finishing inside her in Greek while she pulled me against her and shoved her tongue in my mouth.
She closed the place down not long after, and moved to Florida to open a nail salon. I lost touch with her a year or two later.
When the cops stop you, keep your cool, admit nothing, deny everything, and don't try to give fancy explanations. The more you talk, the deeper you dig the hole.
Visits over the last few weeks
I found myself off work early yesterday and decided to take some time to relax. My first stop was at Angel's, but my problem was that I hadn't read up on the past several days posts so I was quite surprised to find it closed with the door locked. Being unprepared, it did kind of spook me initially, so I returned to my car to see what was up. As usual, several others had already detailed what happened and I realized I could've saved myself some time. Lesson learned. I didn't read about anything going down at Garden or Pine, but I didn't really want to try my luck. I much prefer Angel over the other two anyway.
So, I decided to relocate and traveled further west. I went to Cosmos, which I think I might've gone to several years back but couldn't quite remember. I saw June, and she was very pleasant. She asked if I had an appointment, which I did not, and she told me someone had called to make an appointment but hadn't shown up yet. Started with a table shower, which took her a minute to get going but was handled as expected. There was a little bit of testing the waters, making sure we were both on the same page, but after that the shower and massage were first rate. She had good technique and took her time, used some lotion but not too much and it wasn't scented. Hot towels and some back walking and I was ready to take a nap. With about 10 minutes left she asked if I wanted to turn over (of course) and NoVa standard with some UTC roaming was allowed. All in all a pleasant experience and a very discreet location.
Some stray thoughts on past visits:
- I'm fond of Miko's for both the location and the great service, but it's frustrating that they don't have a TS available (This is why I decided to give Cosmos a try). They (Miko's) do have a shower, but the one time I asked for that I was on my own and it felt kind of pointless. Other than that, I've always gotten good massages there.
- I saw some interest a few weeks back about Best, and that some people were trying to visit but they were always busy. I remember going here quite a bit a few years ago before I decided to broaden my horizon, so I thought this was a good chance to see what might've changed. The answer is, not much, but it did feel a little dated and not as clean / well kept as many of the other locations detailed here on the board. I was able to walk in without an appointment, it was around 2:00-2:30 on a weekday, so maybe folks have been going too late during the afternoon "rush hour"? It was a mixed experience, but may be worth the wait for some. Walking in, the entrance area had a funky smell, like damp floors with stinky food / trash but I only noticed it while walking in. I stayed true and remained on course for research. I don't recall my providers name, but she was the standard late 30's / early 40's with some upper enhancements. TS was good and very thorough, and the massage was very good as well. When it came time for the flip, I'd describe it as a NoVa + finish. Disrobed, free roaming, some nursing, and a very enthusiastic finish. Standard $.20 total fee / tip. I may repeat, but there are so many other options that I think are a little cleaner that it probably won't be for a while.
Good luck out there.
