[size=1]the story you are about to read is true, and I didn’t bother to change the names :shrugs:[/size]
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 ! 
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.
[size=1]
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… 
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 
[/size]
…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, 
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 
… and plus the ‘crowd’ will be back before ya know it !
Abbey, can you tell me: " 
Is it ok to shoot someone like this or shall I watch n’ wait for the Karma squad ??? "
…numb minds wanna know… < /Ramble >
, but u were there to help, watsoever it turned out to be in the end.
