Just a Few thoughts for the Day

so last night while at work i responded to several emergencies. one in particular was early this morning. we got called out for a report of sexual assault. what was said was as soon as we got toned out i thought "great another dumb call." for us as Fire Fighters/EMT-B's we can not do anything for this person. i don't know why i thought these things. maybe it was due to night being filled with silly little calls that i really should not have been called out for leaving me extremely tired. but still that doesn't give me the right to think so lightly on a situation that is such a life altering event. one that all wish they never had to go through. so for this i am very sorry for thinking such a thing. i fill so bad because as we show up on scene knock on the door and when she opened it and the look she gave us was one of pure terror. she was terribly shaken and crying, but allowed us in to talk with her. as she started telling us what happened my stomach started to turn, and in side i started to get more and more disgusted. i do not and will never understand why people can do this kind of thing to each other. there is no excuse for raping someone!!! as she finishes telling us what happened we asked her several more questions then i stepped out to call for DRK (German ambulance) when i saw a man out side looking conspicuous. when i keyed up my radio this guy opens his door and starts staring at me with (in my opinion) guilty eyes. i cant help but think that he is the guy that just committed this horrific thing. as i finish my radio traffic i keep my eye on this guy to ensure that he doesn't go anywhere until the cops get there. and thank God they made it quickly. as they walk up they quickly noticed this guy and by the way they spoke to him they also felt that he guilty. from that point on they took over with speaking to the victim and asked us to leave. though we complied with their request i couldn't this girl out of my head. she has stayed with me all day. it makes me sad to think that this girl has had to go through something like this. even though i do not know this girl i pray for her, and ask that all of you that read this pray for her too.
