Perhaps Dr. Kildare could look at her injuries. Cliff, angry but glad his wife was alive, said he would be there shortly. She told him to bring their son and her spare set of car keys, because her keys were in the stolen purse. Cliff and Donovan arrived just before the police officer finished filling out his report. Cliff hugged his wife gently. He told Donovan to drive home in Janelles car. Cliff then asked the officer what the chances were of catching the attackers. The officer shook his head. Not good, he said. He told Cliff that robberies like this one happened daily throughout southern California. Thugs are everywhere, prowling around like sharks in the ocean, looking for prey. Cliff asked the officer what could be done. I know this sounds ridiculous, but we police can no longer protect you law-abiding citizens. Theres simply too many criminals. Tell all your female relatives and friends one thing: Dont go anywhere alone, day or night. A woman by herself, even in public, might as well be carrying a bright neon sign that says: Victim hereCome and get me! Im not supposed to be telling you this, because if the word gets out, tourism will suffer in southern California. |
