Arrests

U

nbeknownst to Jeremy or his abductors, fourteen-year-old Patty Pierce could hear what the abductors were saying. She had been unable to get back to sleep. She had opened her bedroom window to get some fresh air. Once she started hearing the men’s voices, she crept slowly toward her window and listened carefully. Realizing that something terrible could happen, she told her parents about it right away.

Trevor and Donna Pierce were always attentive toward Patty. If she had something to say, even at this hour of the morning, they would listen to her. She told them about the car that drove up and parked across the street, next to a local park. Then she said that the men in the car talked about having a captive. This captive was wanted for murder in Virginia. The men, with help from Governor Woodring, were going to send him to Virginia for trial. In Virginia, the captive would be tortured and killed. Meanwhile, they and Governor Woodring, along with some woman, would get a big payoff.

While the story sounded strange, Patty’s parents knew that she was not likely to make things up. Trevor walked into Patty’s room and looked out her window. Right away, he saw the car. Vaguely, he saw two men sleeping in the front seat. A third one was sitting behind the car as if he was guarding the trunk. Trevor could not tell if this man was asleep or not. But it was enough proof for Trevor to convince him that Patty was telling the truth.

Trevor called the police, informing them of his conversation with Patty. He affirmed that he saw the car and saw three men there, two inside and one out. Then he gave them his address. The police dispatcher said he would send someone out there.

While they were waiting, Trevor phoned some of the neighbors, informing them of the situation. Just like Trevor had confidence in Patty, the neighbors had confidence in Trevor. As they looked outside and saw the car, they knew something bad was afoot. Some wondered if these men might be dangerous and possibly a threat to themselves.

Soon a police car silently drove by. When it turned the corner, the neighborhood men wondered what it was doing. Soon the policeman drove back, parking just in front of the suspicious car. The kidnapper sitting behind the suspicious car seemed not to notice.

Momentarily, three more police cars arrived just as silently. After a few more minutes, the four policemen opened their car doors, promptly seized the man sitting behind the car, handcuffed him, and put him in one of the police cars.

The noise awoke the other three kidnappers. It also alerted Jeremy that help might have arrived. He pounded on the trunk lid again. Quickly, a policeman jimmied open the trunk. A grateful Jeremy scrambled out of the trunk. The police told Jeremy to back away and take cover. Now the police turned their attention to the remaining kidnappers.

With guns drawn, the policemen walked up to the front seat and ordered the two men out.
