berlin, dirk and cera

dirk and cera used to live in olympia. then last summer, a paid informant snuck into dirk's neighbor's yard and saw a few leaves of one of the 6 marijuana plants he was growing in a green house back there. A few days later a swat team busted into their house and made them sit on the couch while they tore through everything. They slashed open the greenhouse wall (there was an unlocked door) and took hundreds of dollars in cash that dirk had hidden in his room (money from his band's savings). He went to trial, and settled for some fines and communnity service. There was one other catch. Dirk was born in germany and even though he'd lived in the usa for most of his life, he'd never been properly naturalized. The lawyers informed him that he could be deported at anytime. So he and Cera decided to get married and move to berlin. We met up at their apartment, and drank tea while talking about their experiences moving so far from home. Later we walk to a children's park in the middle of a huge wooded area in berlin. On our way home we saw a car accident.
