"So Shan, what do you want to do next week?" Jeff asked Shannon while they
were sitting on Shannon's front steps.
"Oh, huh. What did you say?" Shannon asked while looking at his watch.
"What's so interesting about your watch? You've been looking at it for the past 6 minutes." Jeff stated.
"Um nothing." Just then a small car quickly pulled into a driveway. A tall muscular guy stepped out and slammed the door of his truck and slowly went into his house.
Again Shannon looked at his watch. "Uh, look at the time Jeff maybe we should go inside," he said nervously.
Jeff looked at him confusingly and asked, "What are you talking about? It's only 5:30 in the afternoon. What's going on that you don't want me to see?"
At that moment Jeff and Shannon noticed across the street a girl running out of the house that the man had just walked into. She had blood dripping down her head as she ran towards a fence.
Right behind was the tall guy yelling bloody murder at her. She quickly climbed the tall chain link fence and jumped on the other side.
Jeff turned towards Shannon. "Is that what you didn't want me to see? Does that happen every night?"
Shannon nodded solemnly.
"Do you think that guy beats her?" Jeff asked with concern in his voice.
"The whole street knows he beats her. But no one ever does anything about it."
"So why don't you do anything to help? You see it happen every night."
"Easier said than done" Shannon said bluntly.
"Well if you're not going to do anything about then I am."
Jeff then got in his black corvette and drove down the street looking for the girl. He drove through market places and checked in malls but he couldn't find her.
He decided to go to the park and think the whole situation out clearly. He sat on a bench and heard a faint cry.
He got up and walked to the small lake. There he saw the girl with blood on her face crying.
