about the time i had them all sized up and was ready to step foward my wife runs out and starts yelling at them. i told them all to back off and i went to the girl. she was scared to death.
she had no marks on her so the cops couldn't really do anything. they let her go to a family members house who lived elsewhere. she wasn't running away, simply on her way to the bus stop, headed for school. she told us a few things about how she was treated at home. i'm still troubled by it all.
never did need a gun.
