I think it was on a Thursday. My wife answered the phone, hey, we've got an emergency, Ramona's missing. Just searching for my sister's car. Bad things were going through my mind. I start heading towards the RTA lot. Then out of the corner of my eye, there looks like a Camry. It was my sister's car. Your adrenaline's going. You don't really know what you're doing. I dialed 911. No.
What if my sister's in the trunk of this car?
I ran back to the truck, and I got a pipe wrench.
I can't break the window.
I reached into the trunk latch, just pulled up on that.
It's been, what, two and a half years? I miss her a lot. Still miss her.
