The Great Escape


I leap over the man, who was sitting next to me, and jumped out of the car. My stomach was on the ground and my hands were in a puddle of water. A huge splash
of cold water landed on my face, which caused my skin to tighten. I quickly jumped
to my feet and begin to run. I heard the men behind me yelling “get her don’t let her go.” Those voices only inspired me to run faster. The rain was falling down so hard that it was difficult for me to see ahead. The cold rain caused my body to stiffen and my nose to run. I ran until I reached my destination, which was my dad’s job.

I banged on the door so hard that my hand started to hurt. Finally someone
answered the door. Once inside I started to feel safe. I walked cautiously to prevent
me from sliding on the clean wooden floor. My wet shoes hitting the floor made a
squeaking sound. I walked to my dad office. My eyes scattered around the entire
room but he was not there. My face began to frown because I really needed to see
him. I sat down in a chair, which was in the corner of his office, and called him on
his cell phone. I told him what happened and he said that he would be right there.

A few minutes past, finally my dad came rushing in. He gave me a huge hug, which
finally made me feel completely safe. He asked me did I want to go to the police. I
quickly responded only if you go. He grabbed me by my hand and covered me with
his jacket. We drove to the nearest police station and when we arrived I saw my
mom. She was waiting for us to arrive. My eyes lit up once I saw her because I knew
for sure that everything was going to be okay.

We walked inside the police station and right away an officer was there to help us. I told him everything that happens to me. The officer said that he would have to take to the main branch. We finally reached inside the main branch, which was nothing like the regular police stations. It was bigger and way more creeper. Once inside I was placed inside this room. The room reminded me a lot like the room I saw on the show LAW IN ORDER. It was a small room with a huge mirror. I begin to get
scared thinking that I was the suspect not the victim. A few minutes past when a
white man dressed in all black came in. He introduced his self as if he was a tape
recorder. I reached out my hand and introduced myself as well. The man sat down on the opposite end of the table. He asked to tell him what happened. I took a deep
breath and made sure I gave him every little detail.



As I began to tell the man what happened, I close my eye tightly to make sure I
wouldn’t leave out any information. “I was walking to my dad’s job, when a blue
car with missing panels on the side stopped. The man in the passenger seat had on a
tee shirt with a red hat, asked if I could stop. I continued to walk when the car made a huge U turn in the middle of the street. The car stops me in my path. I walked
behind the car and continued on my journey. While I walked, I heard the car door open. One of the guys said “this is how you get her.” He begins grabbing on my
clothing, while the other guys grabbed my hips and legs.

The next thing I know is I’m sitting in the middle of the car. The car quickly speed
off from the scene. I kicked and punched everything around me as if something was
fighting back. The man on the passenger side pulled out a gun and told me to stop. I closed my eyes because I knew I wasn’t. In my mine I felt if they were going to kill me, I was going down with a fight. I felt the car stop and I told myself that this was my great escape. I jumped over the man who was sitting on the right of me and jumped out of the car. Once outside of the car I ran as fast as I could to my dad’s job.”


The officer asked me to describe what each man look like. Later he handed my a
huge book with pictures of guy who names were in they system. I started to gasp at
some of the pictures because I recognized some people who lived in my neighborhood. As I finished looking at all the pictures carefully, I realized that none of the guys were in that book. He told me that they have a camera in that area so hopefully they can see the license plate. After about an half of an hour later, a lady came in and said that they did not have it on tape. She told me that they didn’t even have me running on tape. She apologized and told me that the rain had destroyed the camera.


I felt that there was no way that they were going to find the guys who tried to attack me. After we left the police station my parents and I went home. Once arriving home my family came to support me and to make sure I was well. Everyone told me how blessed I was. I didn’t think I was blessed at the time, but know I look back and see that I was truly blessed.
