My wife and I decided to go for a short walk down to a local gas station for a midnight snack. We had a pleasant walk to the station using a path we often take and we do live in a nice area of town. On our way back I was enjoying ice cream while my wife was eating nachos.
As we were headed home I watch 2 guys in a maroon minivan slow to a crawl and eye my wife like a pit bull eyes a raw steak. I was watching them pretty intently while my wife's head was stuck down in her nachos not paying attention to anything in the world(yes this is a source of irritation). Also at this time there was a walking gap between us because my wife was walking so slow while eating her nachos. Well after they got an eye full they drove off at normal speeds and I lost sight of them as they rounded a small corner.
Our path that we use to get home takes us up a large hill that is a one way street, it has poor lighting and is not used a lot. Pretty much the reason we take this path is for a bit of peace and quiet. As we start up this one way the same van that passed earlier is headed down the one way, I did not know it was this van until they drove by us. At this point I am becoming very suspicious. I am was thinking what a bunch of creepers driving by twice to ogle the same woman minding her own business, it gets better. As they reach the end of the street they put their van into reverse, there are no houses, turns, or driving paths on this one way. So zero reasons why a person would need to reverse on this street.
Now I am starting to get nervous, and my glock 20(yes 10mm of power) is weighing heavy on my belt, but it was a good heavy. I stepped off the side of the road kinda wondering what I need to do next, I could not see past their reverse lights very well at all. These two were so focused on my wife that I do not believe they saw me on their second trip, I also am assuming they did not believe my wife and I were walking together. As I said earlier there was a walking gap between us because she was walking so slow while eating her nachos.
Once the guys in the van spot me they stop and ask "Are you two together?", and yes he sounded like a fool asking it. My wife responds with a "yes", and we get followed up with and "Oh, you two are such and odd couple." Commenting on our height difference, they then put the van back into drive and we did not see them again.
I feel like I should have drawn my gun and kept it hidden behind my back(it never broke kydex), or at least had my hand on the grip. I am certain that my wife was targeted to be a victim of a crime. In the end nobody got hurt, so I guess all is well that ends well.
Thanks for taking the time to read, sorry for any grammar or spelling errors.
