Hick lost his Cancer Girlfriend. LITERALLY! Lost her.
Last Friday he took her to her final appointment. She'd been using a local transport system to get to her several-times-a-week treatments halfway to the city. Then she asked Hick to take her to her last appointment, in the city. "You took me at the beginning, and now I'd like you to take me to the last one." Hick gave up his Friday shot and his afternoon shooting the bull and chewing the fat with his cronies.
After the appointment, Hick stopped by Best Buy for some rare rechargeable batteries for our four phones.
"When I parked, I noticed some guys in a truck behind us, but I didn't think nothin' of it. I told her I'd be right back, and went in to get the batteries. When I come out, SHE WAS GONE! That truck was gone, too. I was a little worried. I got to thinking, 'Surely they didn't KIDNAP her!' I tried to call her cell phone, but she didn't answer. I kept trying. My truck was unlocked. There was no sign of her. I wasn't sure what to do. I went back in Best Buy.
She was in there! She said she had to go to the bathroom, so she went inside, then got to walking around looking at stuff in the store. Her phone didn't work in there. I was relieved to find her!"
Yeah. Hick needs to pay more attention to stowing away his cargo when he leaves it in SilverRedO. I don't mean to suggest that he should have told her to crawl under the seat, or that he should have throw a jacket over her. But he could at least have locked the doors. And told her NOT TO GET OUT until he came back. Or he could have taken her in with him. She could have at least sent him a text before going in.
If Hick drives Cancer Girlfriend to a follow-up appointment, he should put a LoJack on her...
I'm glad she was found and maybe she did send a text but Hick didn't get it because phones don't work in there? Anyway, all's well that ends well, or something like that.
ReplyDeleteHick's phone is notorious for sending me texts that take three hours to arrive. And for going straight to voice mail when I call him. Part of the reason is that he never turns off or restarts his phone, and that he doesn't ever close out of any apps. Ever. Until The Pony takes his phone and does it, or I harp at him about it.
DeleteStill, Cancer Girlfriend told him her phone didn't work in the store. So I'm guessing she didn't get a signal, or got that MESSAGE FAILED thing I get in my lair.
Yes, she once was lost but now is found. That's a good thing.
Never a dull moment.
ReplyDeleteAt least the ATF hasn't come knocking on our door. Oh, wait...
DeleteAnd here I was all set for a good mystery to chew on while I mow! I lost my ear buds and like Hick's lady there are somewhere to be found, but in the meantime I must mow with only my imagination to entertain myself. I was going to have her kidnapped by some gang and Hick could play the hero in his search .... Oh well, I will do it anyway.
ReplyDeleteWell... I guess I am sorry to reveal that Cancer Girlfriend was found safe and sound within 15 minutes of her disappearance!
DeleteI asked Hick what he would have done if he didn't find her, and he said, "I don't know!"
I'll tell you what he would have done: become a prime suspect in her disappearance!
I thought sure back woods creepers kidnapped her. Glad it was just a potty call.
ReplyDeleteSometimes a missing person is just on the toilet!
