Gangsters

I’d gone to visit a friend in a large city. I didn’t know the residence so I had to drive around searching for it. In the process, I came upon a gang of punks who were beating a young woman with the intention of doing worse.

I stopped, got out and chased the gang members off, saving the young woman. I took her with me to my friend’s house and helped clean her up and then made her comfortable. She was dark-skinned, Hispanic or Philippine, and very beautiful.

I don’t know what my original motivation was for going to the city other than to visit, but I decided to cruise the neighborhood again looking to see if other civilians were being preyed upon. It wasn’t long before I came across other ugly situations. Each time I chased off the hoodlums. Sometimes I had to fight them off. In a later incident, two people were hurt, one seriously. I brought them back to care for them but the prognosis for the one wasn’t good.

While caring for these people, the first young woman was healing well. She was very beautiful and I began to have strong feelings for her. There was an urgency to do something but when we went to take the pickup to go, we discovered someone had damaged the back – the topper and tailgate. We needed to enclose it to keep her things clean and safe. A friendly neighbor offered the trunk/engine hood of his white VW bug. Amazingly, the hood fit snugly over my missing tailgate and topper window that!
