{Josh Kennedy had heard the screams of his neighbor’s daughter for the stress filled week that he had moved there. He didn’t understand why everyone was so scared to go to the social services, or maybe it was the fact that nobody cared. Her dad was the ugly pimple on the on the face of the neighborhood. He was an abusive alcoholic jerk. Who ran his wife out of their home, when his wife left he turned to his daughter to beat on. Many people in the neighborhood partially blame the wife for abandoning her daughter with that horrible man. Josh being a man of 30 years knew about the horrible sins that were committed in the world daily. He was planning on going to the government about this case of abuse after his move was finalized. However he did not get that chance.
Josh was out in his garage unpacking when he heard a scream from his neighbors house. The scream he could tell was laced with pure terror and immense pain. Josh had had enough he was going to go over to his neighbors house, he was going to take that jackass down for beating his daughter. However, he never got the chance, because as soon as he made the decision the girl, the jackass’ daughter came out of the side door, half crawling her way down the steps. Josh went and hopped the four foot fence that separated the two yards. She looked very light, thin and petite. He could guess that her dad hadn’t been letting her eat. Her eyes were closed as if she was sleeping, but she was knocked out. Only then did he notice the big gash down her left calf. He picked her up and she couldn’t of been more than 60 pounds.
He carried her into his living room and set her down on the hardwood. He ran to his hall closet to get his first aid kit, thought for a second, and took the plastic sheet that he kept on the bottom shelf. He put the sheet down on the floor and gently rolled the girl onto the sheet. He took a piece of gauze and placed it on the crepuscular wound. I swelled with blood almost instantly. I can’t do this on my own, he thought to himself. He hastily wrapped pieces of gauze around the wound, and sealed it off with tape. By now the blood was everywere, and it was flowing out of the wound at a steady rate. He grabbed the phone and dialed 911. A tinny voice came over the phone as he made a connection.
“911 what is you emergency.”
“There is a girl in my house, she is loosing a lot of blood,” Josh nearly screamed into the phone.
“What is you address.”
“978 Manning Avenue, please hurry.”
“An ambulance is on it’s way, about five minutes.” And the line went dead.
Josh heard stomping up his steps, he looked out the window and saw the girls father lumbering up his front steps. He picked up the girl and brought her to the kitchen which was in the back of the house. he heard banging on the door, and the yelling of a drunk man.
“Give me back my daughter,” Josh’s neighbor slurred through the door. “I’ll kill you.”
Josh ran from the back room and opened the front door, he opened the door slowly. However he wasn’t ready for the already bloody knife that would follow him opening the door. It slashed at him, but slowly, Josh’s twenty years of Taekwondo had paid off. He sidestepped the knife slash and grabbed the drunk mans arm, he held it in a firm grip. He punched the man hard in the gut, and then chopped the mans throat with the back of his hand. The man choaked and bent at the waist. A final chop to the back of the neck put the man on the ground for good, this was a good thing because Josh heard sirens approaching.
He ran to get the girl he had put on the kitchen table. He picked her up gingerly, careful of her wounds, and brought her outside to the ambulance that was on the road. The paramedics were unloading the crash cart, and they saw him, their brows’ furrowed and they scrutinized him. They saw the man slumped on his doorstep, and then they looked at the girl with concern in his eyes. They decided that she was more important, they swarmed over her like bees trying to save her life. However Josh saw one man, one paramedic, hang back from the group and pull out his radio. He muttered some words that Josh could not hear, he put his radio away and started walking toward Josh.
“What happened here,” sputtered the man. Josh responded tentatively.
“Uhmm, I found this girl on her doorstep and she was bleeding, so I took her into my house and called the ambulance.”
“That’s it, nothing else,” the EMT questioned. “What about the man on your doorstep, he looks knocked out!”
“I think that’s the father of the girl. He is the one who did this to the girl.” It was then that the police arrived. The police officer nearly leaped out f his car and took hold of the scene immediately. People were starting to come out of their houses to see what was going on, the police reacted accordingly. They sent some people to the man on Josh’s doorstep, ad one of the people came to talk to Josh. Of the EMT’s started talking in a fury.
“You need to detain the man over there, he was the one who did this to that girl.” The police officer moved to make an order to the people looking at the man. They put handcuffs on the man and dragged him to the back of the police car, he would be waking up in a prison cell.}
