The Longest Night Ever

[kiyakotari]

Well, I just had THE longest night EVER at work.

I got to work at like 6:30...and was off at 1:37 am. Not a very long shift...but OH MY GOD. Our lowest sale hour was over $100. Five - yes, FIVE - of the hours were OVER $200. So, we were behind on work. Duh.

And then a little bit after midnight, this drunk chick named Timber shows up in tears, asking to use the phone. Apparently her boyfriend had just tried to rape her in the parking lot after taking he out and plying her with alcohol all night while not drinking any himself. And now she was trying desperately to get away from him - he was still trying to get at her.

So, I took her out and put her in my car and locked all the doors. So she'd be safe. Then I CHASED OFF her boyfriend - hey, I can be scary when I want. Especially if I have a broom handle to fuck with and I'm pissed off to all freaking hell.

We closed, and I checked up on her every five-ten minutes.

It was a SUCKY close.

We went out, intending to drive her home...and she was gone. We couldn't find her ANYWHERE. The doors to my car were locked. I'm hoping she managed to get a ride home from someone - she had a cellphone, but the battery was dying. There was nothing to indicate a struggle. There were two fresh smeared female handprints on the trunk of my car, though - still wet.

So, now I'm hyped up on adrenaline and wanting to injure random males. I think I'll go read some HP - that always calms me down.

@__@ Some people are scaryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy... *hugs Kiya* At least you are not hurt, let's hope we can say the same for that girl...

Thanks. ^_^ I wasn't going to get hurt. As long as they don't have a gun, I can pretty much handle them. Even a car - that's not all that hard to dodge.

I'm not cocky - just aware of my own limitations.

She probably ran off. You wouldn't believe how many people in that situation do not wish to report it. Be careful! Don't play hero so much. I don't want to see you on the six o clock news.

And here's a small tip friend to friend: If you want to calm down after something that nerve-wracking... White Zombie... Not a good idea.

**chuckles** I know, I know...I realized that fairly quickly, and put on some nice relaxing Holst instead. **grins** Jupiter, on repeat.

I wasn't playing the hero! ....well...not TOO much, anyway. **sheepish** I can't help it. I like fighting, and I like helping people, and... **shrugs helplessly**

And we weren't going to report it. I'm pretty sure she was too young to be drinking, and it's her choice, not mine.

I wouldn't LOVED to chat with her boyfriend, though. **evil look**

*thwap* Damn hero complex (or is that "Heero"?)! Do you think you're indestructible?! *Thwaps again lightly*

Be careful, or I'll...

I'll...

Erm, scold you? (Trust me. It's horrifying.)

[kiyakotari.livejournal.com]

**grins** I consider myself scolded. And I'm not Heero! >_<

I don't think I'm indestructible...not at all. Studying the things I do makes a person all too aware of mortality - and human fragility.

It's too easy to kill someone - doesn't take more than a finger in the right place. And injuring can actually be harder than killing. So yes, I am fully aware of danger.

I simply keep my options open in such a situation.

And I HAD a broom handle! I was ARMED! Twice over, since I also had my keychain and IT is an impact Kerambit (nasty little device that can serve as everything from 'brass nuckles' to an eye socket hook), and I know how to use both well enough that I've taught classes in them.

So don't worry - I know how to handle myself.

Uh huh.

...*pets*Be careful.

And yes, I will nag at you like a mother. I do it all the time.
