THE HELP LINE ----------------------------------------

It seem when things go wrong nothing goes right… Danielle was passed out mom was going crazy Uncle Bob was the only calm one there,

 

The help line was for emergency use only … Uncle Bob went and got the cell phone and told mom that he would call from ft. Worth…. That way we would not alert any signs around here …. He went to the hospital district

Where there are a lot of phone systems and hard to trace …. He called and talked to some one that said do not call again for a while we will send help to you; we know where you are ….. Click………. That was it ……

Back at home Uncle Bob called on his cell phone and told mom help was on the way ….. Danielle woke up shaking and sick, She did not look good at all mom put cold water on a wash cloth wiped her face …

In the mean time at the help end of the system things started and people

Were putting things in place, making calls and what need to be done…

Dr George Romany a special psychiatrist and Dr Karen Peters ob/gyn

Were alerted to the problem and left for the private air strip…

With in two hours they were landing in Ft.Worth at Meachem field where a limo picked them up and drove them to Poolville …. They arrived about five in the after noon and went and checked Danielle then talked to mom for a while and gave her a bottle of pills for Dan to take for the next two weeks.

Mom knew Dr Peters …. They talked for a while and Dr Romany gave Dan a shot she went to sleep….then told mom

"She will sleep for tonight and will be better tomorrow then I will talk to her and check things out "…

"How about some thing to drink? I asked. We have ice tea, soda, water, hard ice cubes, coffee. How about it what is your pleasure "…there were a lot of requests for ice tea …. Bobbie and cat went and made fresh tea…

I got the glasses out and patty put ice in the cups…Soon we all gathered in the kitchen ….

As we sitting there talking, Dr Romany asked me about my problem walking

Mom told him the story and put in a few things that I did not know…

"Well this area is off limits for us to call out… Somebody is checking our systems and we do not want to bring a problem here … anyway I may want to take to girls back with me for testing that is Danielle and Ronda for about a week if that will be alright with you Joanne "…

"What kind of testing? " Mom asked…

"Going to shrink their heads a little and test reflexes see where they stand

With development and skills … maybe setup a school for them to attend to help cope with the transition and learn skills that are not taught in public schools it will not cost you anything and all expenses are covered "….

Dr. Romany said………………

Mom asked where the place is, Dr. Romany said

"Where you were a long time ago Joanne… they have a new set up there to handle things and to keep

Secure and safe those we bring up there ….A lot of things have taken place in the last few years and are almost complete ……We also want to talk to you about running a special school for girls … That is here in Texas ,,,

The need has grown and the need to get a quiet safe place and a safe house set up for the future is now…. The property that adjoins this place was an old sand quarry abandoned years ago and the foundations that were there for the equipment are very thick and strong with some added work we can make a complete school on top and a complete two floors under ground … when this is complete some of the operations will be centered here …

Mostly long term care and schooling …. A training school and hospital …

All private… mainly for our use …. Do you think you would be able to work with us on this?"

"Yes we need to discuss all this further but the main concept is good …."

Mom said ….. "Bob what do you think? ………….."

"That place is tied up in court for years I tried to bye it several years ago but it was too much trouble for me at the time…"

How do you plan to get title to the land?"

"We have the title as of two months ago and all mineral rights also …

The plans are just starting to come together and the time for discussion is now so we can get the best set up and ideas on paper before we start…

And we want to use some of your property also for an air strip … you will still have the property… but we need a long runway for the jet to land…

We will take care of the construction and all costs the land will be for your use most of the time and when we need to land we will contact you so you can move the cattle out of the way … I know that sounds crazy but we have our reasons looking from the air it will look like a field with cattle in it …

But lights in the ground will show the outline of the landing strip… They

Will be turned on from your end and when you say it is clear to land…

There are many things to be worked out … Dr. Romany said, "this is only the beginning … The planning stage so to speak ….. There is a lot to do so let's get settled and discuss it tomorrow "…..

I was watching Dan sleep, got ready for bed and put the light out ….

In the morning I got up and dressed Danielle woke up and said "morning …

Sorry about the screaming memes yesterday, It just got to me and I lost it" …

"Don't worry about it we were just worried about you and if you are all right

Sure scared us a little when you passed out …. I said "and Mom was going nuts trying to help you "…

"When Mom talked about the kids coming here when are they coming "?

Dan asked.

"I don't know we can ask at breakfast common lets eat" … do you need help to get dressed "? Wear your dress like mine the yellow one with the fancy panties. "

We went out to the kitchen and started to get the things ready for cooking.

Dr. Romany and Dr. Peters were sleeping on the pull out sofa …

There was a rumble of thunder and the wind picked up ….

Lighting struck close to the house and every body was awake the noise was loud and shook the trailer.. Then the rain came down like dropping a lake on us , hail small hail banging on the roof and patio cover ,, a strong wind tore the patio cover off and threw it in the back yard … a large tree in front crashed into the living room through the roof and water was poring in …

We all were in the kitchen and the power went off patty was crying and afraid so I held her, Cat and Bobbie were not dressed yet… Mom was dressed and things got worse the wind took a piece of the roof off and let a lot more water in every thing is getting soaked …..

Then it just stopped and the sun came out… We looked like drowned rats

And the sun was shinning …. The town police came by and he asked "do you need any help they said several people needed help and was checking up on all he could ……"

Mom asks him to "call Uncle Bob and inform them and to see if they were all right ….."

He was talking to uncle Bob when a call came to him for help and they needed a Doctor right away somebody was trapped in a building that was falling down …. Just down the road ….. We were all in good shape and said we could go and help… So I got my van out and it was dented and the windows were broken but it ran fine ….

Dr Romany and Dr Peters Dan me and Bobbie went, mom stayed with patty and cat to see what they could do to clean up the mess and find out what next……

Down the road there were several cars and a lot of people trying to get debris off the people inside that were trapped ….they could not get to them

A small hole was in the top of the pile and if I could get in there I might help to see what we have in there and what to plan next … I asked the policeman if I could go in there to see what the problems are and how bad

He looked at me and said "you're a little small and would fit in there but you are too young and might get hurt … "

The chief of the volunteer fire dept. was there and said" that is Ronda Harris and I know her … she can help us get in there "Ronda how old are you now? I said I was > "sixteen "then we can make you a member of the fire department and give you the rights to help in an emergency … do you want to be a member …. If so raise your right hand and say I do so help me God…

"so help me God I do "I said, The Chief said " then you are a volunteer fire fighter apprentice with us and this town … Let us get to work and get these people out " ….so we climbed up to the hole in the pile and I climbed down and little at a time there was a opening and I just was able to get threw it and down to where the people were ….when I saw them they were happy to see me ..

I said "How is everybody so far we are working to get you out and want to know how things are here …The woman said " John has a broken leg … he's seven years old

And quiet now as long as he doesn't move ,,,,Paul over there is not coherent

May be hurt but I can't tell … there just the three of us here and together …"

"How old is Paul?" I asked. "Sixteen "she said ….. "

"Let me see if I can get a phone in here and you can talk to us out side and if anything moves let us know ,, I will be right back … "

I went out and on the way I caught my dress on a nail and ripped it down the back and cut myself a little …. When I got out and told them what I learned and I wanted to go back in with a phone for them "

Dr. Peters asked about Paul was she able to check him at all.

" No she can, t , move very much , not much room in there and she looks like she is hurt …the area looks like we can come in from the road side there is a lot of loose boards on that side the back end is solid but we need to be careful not to loosen the top as we go in "…

The chief started to organize a group to start taking the roadside apart and go in that way …..

After an hour I went in again and talked to the mom for a short time and she said that Paul was breathing….I gave her a phone and said we were getting closer and would be here soon …..

Uncle Bob came and was helping with his tractor in that saved a lot of time

We were soon able to see them and get to john as we uncover john Dr Peters gave him a shot to help with the pain and they pulled him out …

Mom said to Dan "go with Ron and john to the hospital and I will pick you up there "

I said "we don't need to go to the hospital mom "…

"Yes you do look at your back "Mom said.

The chief said "yes you need to go Ronda so they can check you out …

We can handle this now and thank you very much, the information that you gave me was right on the money now go "get fixed "

So in the ambulance I go with John and Dan an E.M.T and driver to

Ft. Worth, Harris Methodist hospital … it's a lot faster in an ambulance than in a car

Forty two minuets and we were there and in to the emergency room

John in one room and me in another they took my dress off and cleaned the scratch it was long and turning red …. The doctor saw the scars on my back and bottom and asked about them … I gave him the short version and told him that I was at cooks hospital about a year ago …they asked about insurance and the ambulance driver said I was a fireman with the county and it was covered by the state because it happened during an emergency …

You're kidding she can't be firemen she is too young, too small … how old are you about eight. "

"No I am sixteen and a member of the fire department …. "

I said

He said" you can't even walk what you can possibly do to help to fire services … "

About that time the media came barging in and taking pictures and asking questions. They wanted to know about Ronda the mole that crawled into the collapsed building and saved a family … the doctor was stunned and call for security …. Before the guards got there they had me in my panties and on the table and showed the surprise on our faces the guards took them out in the hall and took the pictures away from them …..

John was in the next room and they were putting a cast on his leg … He was hurting a little when I came in the room and I held his hand for support…

My dress was a mess with the rip and blood soaked in and being wet look like a reject from a rag bag … Danielle did not look much better but I needed a diaper change and some warm clothes …

Soon another ambulance came in and the mom ,Mrs. Adams and Paul were in it … The mom had some bad cuts and burses but was looking better than when I last saw her ….after she was checked she came to check on John and saw me came over and kissed me …

"You will never know how much you helped us today and I don't think I can ever repay you …" Mrs. Adams said…

" Paul has a broken neck and will need to be checked out before we know how bad he is… That will take a while but he is alive and Dr. Peters said he would not have made it if you did not get to us when you did ….."

Mom came in and Cat and patty. They brought some clothes. YES …

"Well look at you and Dan you are a mess going out in public like that, shame on you" … she laughed … "here put these on and let me help you clean up ..

We are going to stay here in Ft. Worth for a while until we get the house fixed …"

"How bad is the house mom "? I asked

"Not as bad as we thought Uncle bob and some neighbors started cutting up the tree that fell on it and taking away the broken debris "

Mrs. Adams said" you lost your house to?" Yes we were in it when the wind came and blew down a tree that went threw the roof and then filled the house with rain …. We were lucky know one was hurt when we heard about you we helped the best we could … I only wish we could do more. "

"You people are something else my husband said you were a bunch of perverts and weirdo's trailer trash he called you ….."

He told Paul to stay away from Ronda and your family before that other boy

Doug Johnson kicked Ron … He was with the Arian nation with the other boy's father .. We started to fight and he left us. He has not called since…

I wonder what he would say when he finds out you are the one that saved his family … I would love to see his face …. " Mrs. Adams said ….

"In fact here he comes now look up there that is him …."

As he approached he asked" how the are boys … Sara "

"Well look what the wind blew in" "I did not think you cared about us anymore "

"I just got back in town I was at a training camp up north learning how to survive a race war that is coming … you lost us the house and almost killed my kids doing it … he said.. "

 

I could feel my blood boil and could see mom was getting that way to

Danielle came over and pulled me away from there said "let's go and get something to eat… I'm hungry … "

"HEY PERVERT WHAT YOU DOING HERE … there's that boy/girl from the trailer down the road ….. You know the one I told you about …

To BAD that kid didn't kick your brains out …….you sick weirdo…"

"That little girl just saved YOUR sons life today." if she did not come to help us your son would be dead now…"

"And you stand there and called her, that little girl names, that is sick you

Are the sick pervert here not her you are the weirdo not her you left us to die

And were not there to help us when we needed you most … you are the one

That is sick you need to have your head examined ….. NOT HER" ….

"She is so much a better person than you will ever be you basturd get out of here, Go, I don't want to ever see you again, GO, LEAVE NOW >>>"

Mrs. Adams broke down crying and sobbing … Mom and a nurse came to help ….

"Please get him out of my sight "Mrs. Adams said

Security came and escorted him out of the building …..

Danielle was looking at me and wiped my tears away …. "We sure did not need that did we, …" she said …

"Come let's go and get something to eat … come on … Ronda come,"

Dan pulled me to the elevators and we went down to the cafeteria …

We sat there quiet and ate and drank some milk ….. We went back upstairs

And things were quieter now …..

"Ok where do we start now mom now that things have slowed down …" I asked ….

"We need to get a place to stay for a couple of weeks till we can get the house fixed…. So let's go looking and find a place …." Mom said.

Dr Romany showed up about the time we were ready to leave and told mom to hold on for a few minuets and help will get to you here on your cell phone…. He and dr Peters were going back to CA when you get settled

A call came in and told mom where to go …

We met a man and he showed us to a motel and had three rooms with double beds and a small kitchen.

"Well this will be home for a while …..

We need clothes and food to start with …. Ron will you get with Dan and go shopping for food … at least for a week at a time, we have a small

Refrigerator and small kitchen so be careful what you get so we have room.

To put it all Bobbie and Cat and Patty will come with me and get what we can

Out of the trailer and bring it here …. Here is some money and the store is over there ….." mom pointed across the street ….

"Your van will have to wait to be repaired until we get back to normal.

Normal what is normal anymore it is one thing after another…?

Normal is for other people not us. What a crazy year this has been so far."

Normal? …..

Danielle and I went across the road walking and found the store …. Bought what we needed for a day or two simple stuff easy to make up…on the way back some guy showing off with a car burning his tires blowing his horn acting crazy.. And stopped in front of us..

" Want a ride, "he said, "hop in, common get in, I show you a good time.

Not you little one your bigger siester "I don't want no baby, s "

About that time a police car came up behind him turned his lights on…

"Pull over to the side of the road,

As the kid pulled over and stopped he got out and the policeman got out of the cruiser the kid came up with a Uzi submachine gun and fired at the policeman hitting him in the chest knocking him down …Dan and I got behind the police cruiser and the nut kept firing at us.. Breaking all the windows… Then got in his own car and drove off in a hurry ….

"GET THE LICENCE PLATE NUMBER DAN "I yelled as I ran to the policeman he was out cold ….he had his vest on but with a lot of holes

In his shirt … I went to the radio and called "any body out there? "

Hello this is the police dispatcher what can I do for you?

What unit are you calling from? The lady said …..

"There is a policeman down he was shot and hit several times we need help…" I have a description of the car that did the shooting ….."

"Who are you please identifying? "……

"I am Ronda Harris and we are in the police cruiser number A NHR 23

We are located on main st by Albertson's cross street Meachem blvd…"

"All units, Officer down main and Meachem what unit can respond…"

"C45 I am on the way signal one copy dispatch "

"Copy C45 on the way

 

"B 14 supervisor on the way copy dispatch >>>"

"A 23 you on the air? This is Sgt. Wells in route to your location …"

What is the status of down officer can you advise "

"Give me a minuet and I will get back to you …"

"Dan the police are on the way how is he … "

"Well he bleeding from the neck and look here a hole on this side

Of his arm, lets stop the bleeding from the neck the best we can, that looks bad…"

"I will go and call for a ambulance ….I hear the serine's coming "

"Hello dispatch this is Ronda again will you get us an ambulance please

The man is still breathing and has a wound on his neck that is bleeding badly also a wound on his arm, we have the arm bleeding under control"

"Dispatch to Ronda, I have already sent an ambulance to your location

"I am a nervous wreck here comes some help now …. Get back first chance

"Hello I'm Sgt. Wells lets see what we have here …. You are Ronda and who is this young lady here ……"

"That is my sister Danielle "

The Ambulance stopped by us in the road and started to check the policeman over …..They got a lot of stuff out and start an IV line and started to check the wounds over ….. The EMT was talking to the hospital on the radio and a doctor was telling him what to do …..Sgt. Wells called us over to his cruiser. "Hello dispatch B 14 here at the seine I have Ronda and Danielle with me. I am going over the tapes from C 23 the camera was working when this all happened we have a record complete.."

"Hello girls what happened can you help me with this …? "

Danielle gave him a description of the man and the car with the license plate number…

"B14 to dispatch,''

"Dispatch go ahead B 14 "

"Put an all points bulletin out for this description and car license number

He is wanted for the shooting of a police officer… Be careful witness has

Described suspect having an automatic weapon on him that he used for this

Shooting ……"

"Dispatch here all points is going out now Sgt Wells, are the kids ok "

We are checking them now but they seem to be fine …"

"We need to get back to the motel before we are missed we can clean up over there "I said and I started to go and get what we have bought at the store… Dan and I were going to walk away when Sgt. Wells called us back

"Where you going"… He said

"Back to the motel I said we have to get these things home and in the refrigerator before they go bad …. "

"I will take you there and talk to your parents for a little while…

Come put that stuff in here and get in …."Sgt Wells said

He took us over to the motel and got out with us and came to our rooms No one was there yet and he asked where your parents are? …..

"Mom went to get some stuff out of the house …we had a storm this morning and the house is going to be repaired,, we are going to stay here until we can move back in the house .. Probably about a week, we hope…"

I said …

"Well it looks like you girls have saved a policeman today … does your parents have a cell phone we can call? " he asked…

"Yes 817 577 1234 and uncle Bobs number is 817 577 4321 "Danielle said … He called dispatch and had them call the numbers ….

They got hold of Uncle Bob and told them about what happened, mom was there and he told her …she is on her way back here now ….. Sgt Wells said,

"I will stay here until she gets here, it is not safe right now until we get that driver in jail. "

When mom got there she was a nervous wreck shaking all over …

"I have to slow down you guys have to slow down. We can only have one disaster a day from now on … "

When sgt Wells had the whole story he was amazed what went on today …

He said "well it looks like you add another life you saved today that makes four … You girls are something, God has to be guiding you … nobody could do what you did with out his help…. anybody else would panic and run away ….you are very special girls … very special "

The next four days nothing happened..We moved back home and cleaned up the house …Dan and I took the van to get it repaired and that is another whole story… Everything came to a normal pace and school was going to start in one week …..the beginning of normal ?…..
