Synopsis

On the way to the store I notice that the gas gage is between the quarter and empty lines so I pull in to fill up. As usual Mindy and my sisters jump out and run in to get some candy bars and a large cold soda. I am pumping the gas when I see a young lady walking toward her car and two big men walking toward her. I think about my dream and tell myself I am getting loony in my old age when one of the guys grabs the girl and starts half dragging, half carrying her toward a waiting van. I have the pump on automatic so it will shut off when it is full anyway so I run toward the guy with the girl and the other guy gets between us and he is carrying a gun.I am close enough that another step carries me into him knocking downward with my hand I hear the gun go off, but since I don’t feel anything I am pretty sure it just went into the driveway. I follow with a forearm to his face then follow it up with two more like it and I feel the guy go limp so I drop him. The girl is fighting wildly to get away and some other people are now yelling for the guy to leave her alone, but he doesn’t appear to be letting go. They are not far from me so I yell at him to let her go and walk toward them quickly staying under control in case this guy has a gun. I am just a step or two from them when he pushes her toward me and grabs a gun out of his waistband. I catch the young lady and turn her so that if he fires the bullet will hit me then I half run, half jump at him and again strike down with my hand to knock the gun out of his hand. He manages to fire the gun, but it is only into the ground again. He strikes at my head with the gun and I manage to block most of it, but he does hit me. It’s a good thing it’s a glancing blow and not a direct hit. I hit back and we exchange punches and kicks for what seems like a long time then I finally hit him square in the solar plexus and then hit him with an elbow to the face knocking him down if not out.When he hits the ground I see the van that they were heading toward start coming toward us with the door open. I can see my dream very clearly right now. The van stops right next to me and I see a Hispanic man lift an automatic weapon and aim it at me. For some reason everything is crystal clear right now. I can see the man’s face and I recognize him as one of those that I saw at the house where the girls were being held. I can also hear Mindy’s voice screaming for me to get out of there. I am expecting to hear the gunfire and feel the bullets tear into my chest, but I hear gunshots only they are coming from behind and beside me.
