"Show me your passports!" demanded the security guard who was in charge of the arrival checkpoint for tourists in America. My family and I arrived America with our big heavy suitcases and we were hurrying to get a hotel room to put down our suitcases down when a security guard demanded our passports. We have no choice but to show him our passports. "Lim Ah Seng, Lim Boon Choy, Lim Ah Boon, Mary Kok" the security guard pronounced our names for checking with a paper that he was holding to. Just then, the security guard took out his walkie talkie and said a few words through the walkie talkie unknown to us. Minutes passed by, suddenly, a group of policemen surrounded us. "Lim Ah Seng, you are guilty of importing drugs to America! Catch him!" one of the policemen who was Chinese said angrily. With the other Caucasian policemen about to arrest our father, we were puzzled and tried to surround our father to protect him from being arrested by the police. "Why do you want to catch my husband? What have he done? Tell me!" my mother demanded in Chinese loudly. "Check their suitcases!" one of the Caucasian policemen shouted loudly, with saliva spitted on our faces. "Yuck!" I shouted with disguse. Just then, my father was getting angry and he shouted loudly, "What do you want from me! I've had enough of all of you!" my father then gave one of the policemen a punch in the faces, so do others. All policemen groaned on the concrete floor of the checkpoint. Just then, a group of about 20 policemen slowly surrounded us.
