"No it's fine, I'll just go get the milk" I say trying to stay calm as I pull on my coat & grab the car keys. It's nearly 11pm & of course I'm out in the winter cold buying something I reminded my husband three times today. The roads are empty, everyone warm in they're bed..... My thoughts are interrupted by a man staggering down the road, his arm wrapped around his weist, he appears badly injured, my head lights reveal the red stain.
