So what I'm getting from this Tuba, please forgive and correct me if I am wrong. As Lindsey was walking home just past the Shell station, going for the bike (because there was already trouble for it), from what I understand is that the bike is in the back of the Shell station. Not out in the open but a more secluded area. As she is just about there or even at her bike someone pulled up and convinced her to a) either go with them in the car or b)sneak up behind her and take her.
In the first scenario this would be someone who knew that there was trouble regarding the bike and it was there. This is important because knowing this to me means that he knows Lindsey pretty good to know how she knows if she was to leave the bike there, she would get in more trouble. Again this is important because the only time Lindsey can really think about the fight is when she is walking alone. My daughter is 11.5 and her conscious works this way. She would worry about it on the way home because she wouldn't want to be in anymore trouble or just didn't want to fight with her brother.
If we can figure out who was in this situation we should have our perp. Someone Lindsey trusts enough to distract her attention enough feel safe, in such a short amount of time to me means that this person(s) knows her very well.
I know this is really far fetched but a lot can happen in such a short amount of time, take a minute to actually time out up to maybe 5 minutes, a lot of things can be said.
What was the name of the family that the friend was at who broke up the fight between Lindsey and her brother because I'm pretty sure she discussed the situation when she got there. You know just like saying, you even off the cufff, something like "those kids always fighting", or whatever else and innocently enough a conversation starts.
Some how either by chance or quickly decided this person got her.
I am so sorry this is long but I started and couldn't seem to stop.:angel::blushing:
