Iwas concerned about leaving the Jeep unattended, but these people inside needed our help. I brought my wife to where the cashier and Pharmacist were. I turned around and watched the front door cradling the shotgun in my arms. I heard my wife talking to the victims:
“What’s your name?” “ Laura” replied the cashier. “Ok Laura I’m going to take a look at you right after I check the Pharmacist.” “Ok I’m just banged up; they started to beat me when I fought against them trying to rape me. Fred jumped in to help and that’s when they shot him in the leg and hit him in the head with one of their guns.” “ Mike I’m going to need some gauze, ace wrap, sterile or distilled water, and some big gauze sponges, and whatever else you can find in the first aid section to try to bandage up this bullet wound on the Pharmacist.” My wife said after a quick evaluation. “Damn it’s been so long since my trauma training” I heard her say as I laid the shotgun down beside her. “You’ll do fine” I reassured her. “Keep this handy in case they comeback or someone else tries something. Try to stay in this corner your out of sight of the entrance” “Toss me one of those towels so I can put some pressure on his wound” she said pointing to the Kitchen gadget isle nearby, and find something for Laura to cover up with”. Starting towards the back of the store where the first aid section was located. I passed the “As seen on TV” section. And noticed a “snuggie” still on the shelf. Probably the best I can do at a drug store I thought so I grabbed it and tossed it backtowards them. When I got back to the first aid area things were a mess. Between the earthquake and the looting stuff was strewn everywhere. I found some gauze, bottled sterile water, a couple of ace wraps and some cotton balls. The rest was just band aids and OTC creams and sunburn remedies. Maybe more just did not think I had time to search.
Just as I turned around to get back to them I heard a vehicle speed into the parking lot screech to a halt, and then the opening and closing of several car doors. Damn I thought, just what I feared would happen has happened…More looters! “Don’t frak with that stupid Jeep man let’s go get the drugs” I heard someone say. Then I heard multiple footsteps towards the entrance. Ducking behind what was left of some shelving I peeked around the corner to see three teenagers walking in. One had an AK the other two had semi-automatic hand guns. The one with the AK pointed it at the ceiling and fired several quick shots. And yelled “Everyone on the floor this is a Stickup!...Man I always wanted to say that!.” “Stopwasting fraking bullets one of the other teens said”. I had to think of something quick, they were young amateur punks, but they were armed and still dangerous. Maybe I could use that against them. My wife and her patients had not made a sound and were undetected. And they were walking in such a care free manner I decided I’d give them a little surprise. They were sauntering down the first Isle and were coming up on the cosmetic section where there was a pretty large mirror. I grabbed both my 1911 and the Ruger one for each hand. I popped up and let loose a barrage of .45 & 9mm lead aimed at the mirror. It shattered and sent chards of mirror towards the would be looters. All three of them shrieked in terror, the one with the AK screamed “Fraking Hell man, what the frak is going on!” “Somebody’s shoot’n at us dumba$$” said the one that had scolded him moments before. “Let’s get the frak outta here” Those two turned tail and ran, but the third one had already beaten them to the door. Next thing I heard was squealing tires and the smell of burning rubber. I kind of giggled to myself that the strategy had actually worked. I then performed a tactical reload on both weapons, de-cocked the Ruger before holstering, cocking and locking the 1911, after doing a quick assessment Iholstered it as well. I picked up my supplies and headed to where my wife and her patients were waiting.
