Little Lady on the Road
by Jeffrey aka JJ Spain
with illustration by Wayfarer
Riding west on 44 out of Rapid, I pulled to the shoulder, parked the Harley to talk to a little girl. She was alone, maybe three years old.
She wasn’t dressed for walking the highway in December weather. She said her name was Abby as I picked her up, opened my jacket and held her close to my body.
I dialed 911. An officer was there in three minutes. A woman in a red Lexus was there in five.
She yelled, “Get your hands off her!”
“Ma’am, have you been drinking?” the officer asked.
Abby began to cry when CPS took her from me.
I did too.
