It was a chilly morning, Mrs. Learella Kingston took a bite of her onion bagel, put her pink bathrobe on and went out into her front yard to get her morning paper.

Aftreward she planned on making bacon and eggs and reading Ann Landers before she started her day.

She hadn’t showered yet, nor had she put on her makeup.She bent down, picked up the Philadelphia Inquirer, looked up and saw the three masked men.

Startled, she ran toward the front door, but felt hands grab her around the waist , a wet rag was placed roughly over her mouth and nose, she passed out.

She awoke in the back of a rusted van, she didn’t know how long they had been driving before the van stopped and the masked men grabbed her,one of them yelling ,” Shut up an get outta the van.”

They put a pillow case over her head and marched her inside, where she didn’t know, but the chill of the outside air subsided with the slamming of a door behind her.

She was thrown to the floor, another door slammed and locked. She removed the pillow case.
