the story you are about to read is true, and I didn't bother to change the names :shrugs:
Last night, I was looking forward to a good sleep and a quiet saturday to follow.... I had dropped my wifes mother and brother (who live with us) off for a weekend visit with my sister in law, Our daughter & her boyfriend/fiance' and her two kids (also living with us - another looong story) had announced that they had tickets to the State Fair and would be all gone aaaaaalllllll Daayyyyyy ! :P
Shortly after midnight, everyone else was in bed and I was ready to shut it all down and turn off the lights when the phone rang - it was my daughters best friend and co-worker - crying hysterically.
she: "I didn't know who else to call - *incoherent semi-english, quivering wailSob~wailSob*"
me: "wh-what's going on, are you allright ? where are You ?"
she: (what I could extract) "I woke up in a field, no purse, no car, no boyfriend [David] ..and I can't find one of my shoes !" ....
" Last thing I remember, David and I were at a friends had a couple glasses of wine - and then I woke up in a field all alone"...
"then I wandered towards some lights off in the distance and found a shop where some guy was working late and he let me use the phone"
me: "where ?"
*she asks 'the guy' and a voice in the background answers her, she shakily reppeats the address to me*
*I recognize this area as an indusrtial complex adjacent to farm land*
me: "Stay there, call 911, I'll be there as quick as I can !"
**methinks - carJacking?, drug n' kidnap/robery?, somethin' equally awfull**
I arrive 20+ min's later after breaking nearly every traffic law written to find a dozen or two police vehicles - some roaring around the area streets, helcopters in the air over the adjacent open spaces w/spotlights, Paramedic ambulance roaring out of the parking lot ... Hoo-lee-sh!t... :stunned:
I pull in and (after being surrounded and my ID scrutinized) I talked to the seargent in chg., tell him what I knew from her call - yadayada - he tells me the name of the Hospital (she complained of head pain and had a lump @ the base of her skull) and off we :run: (wife was with me).
At the hosp., tests-tests-tests-xrays, etc ... no apparent real damage ....
no drugs - ?????? still no one knows what happened
*Release*,
we take her home with us as it is now 5 am and she has no house keys,
*all go to bed*
I wake up this (late) morning to an empty house (evidently all was resolved while I slept) except for the 'victom' who is now on my phone to her mother crying and relating what she found out to be the answer to the night of mystery ...
whaHappened ? ... she drank alot more than 'just two glasses of wine' at this friends house and while driving back home on a back road went berzerk, pulled over & beat up David (he's got the black eyes to prove it), jumped out of the car, ran into the fields screaming & losing one shoe.
David it seems tried to chase her, lost her in the dark and returned to the car and drove up and down the road looking for her - off in the distance he sees a car stop and then resume - about where he last saw her - and assumed she hitched a ride he went home and went to bed.
Loooosy, jue got sum splainin' to doooo :whistle:
...She insists that the wine be analyzed (it was home-made) :sure: .... this never happens to her ! :!: .. why is she at my house making these calls now she has her car & keys back ? ..evidently David wants to be alone now ... well so do I...
"Shauna, :scream: go Home!"
...yes, my house is empty and it's quiet right now ... but I'm too hung over :hangover: from the nights excitement to enjoy it :m: ........ and plus the 'crowd' will be back before ya know it !
Abbey, can you tell me: " :evil: Is it ok to shoot someone like this or shall I watch n' wait for the Karma squad ??? "
....numb minds wanna know.... < /Ramble >
