I saw an extremely suspicious situation on the way to work tonight. I thought I might have been witness to a kidnapping.
There was a young woman sitting on the pavement in front of a running car with doors open and surrounded by three large men in an out of the way carpool parking lot. She was obviously pleading for them to not touch her. Looked like they had perhaps knocked her down and were wanting to assault her more. The three gave me a hard look as I flew by.
Took 20 mintes to get to work and I was kicking myself hard all the way. If I could have stopped or quickly circled back to ensure her safety I would have. I am not defenseless, she obviously was. It would have taken me 10 minutes to comback for a second look using the nearest turnaround so I continued on to work and called it in to 911 once I got there.
Turns out the authorities were already aware of the situation. They said she had been crushed between two cars. I still feel bad about not being able to provide immediate assistance. Shows me the value of a cell phone in a new light. I'm getting one now. No two ways about it.
