She felt pain rippling through her in rivulets and a wet sensation all about her body. Images floated in and out of her consciousness in muddled urgency that propelled her to seek help. With no knowledge of where she was or what had happened to her she took painful measures to crawl forward until blackness swept all images from her mind.

Todd Robinson stepped on the gas as he sped down Interstate 15 on his way home after a long four day business trip had blessedly come to a conclusion. His thoughts swirled around his wife and new baby girl that were waiting for him at home and he almost didn't catch the flash of bright red on the side of the road that leapt out at him from the corner of his eye. Uncertain of his own actions, he slowed, then pulled over to a stop before backing his Jeep Cherokee back until he was a few feet in front of the spot that had captured his attention. Opening the door he climbed from his car and stretched wearily before causally closing the door and walking over to the side of the road. A gasp escaped him as the red spot he had seen was transformed into that of a blood soaked arm. A ladies arm that lead to long dark hair. He couldn't tell if she was breathing and was gripped with the uncertainty of what he should do next. It felt like hours but he knew it was seconds before he flew to his car, grabbed his cell phone and hit 911.
