Hidden Then Found

Okay, it looks like I shook off the cops, might as well have some fun.
I sprinted faster, jumped up in the air really high, flipped I few times, and kicked down on the sand.
I sent up a ten-foot wall of sand that crashed soundlessly against the ground, and I sped forward again.
I found the lot of beach houses, and ran into one.
The house was pretty crappy on the outside, but was quite well preserved on the inside.
Food.
I went into the small kitchen, and opened the refrigerator. Hot Pockets and every kind of frozen food lined the walls of the freezer and a ton of snacks and drinks were in the refrigerator.
Looks like someone might live here, but I it doesn’t look like anyone’s been here in a while. Hope no one comes in.
I plopped on the couch and fell straight asleep.
I was haunted with horrible dreams of electrodes, cages, treadmills, needles, wires, surgical lights….
NO!!
In woke up sweating, someone was banging on the door.
POLICE !!! COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP !!
How’d they find me again!?
