Thinking Ahead – 6

The next in the series to make you think about things up front. Each of you will answer differently and you will all be right, or maybe wrong. It isn’t a sure thing with definitive Yes/No answers. There are no rights and wrongs only something to consider and plan for.

It is after an event. Your community is growing and there are a few children there. You have one of your own, a six year old girl, and she is the apple of your eye. The alarm goes off, it is something you have not heard for a while as it was the alarm when intruders were in the area. You rush to the scene. It is Jones, an unpopular old recluse who lives well outside the village. His land is covered in warning signs, ‘do not enter’, ‘trespassers will be shot’, etc. and his land is protected with traps, mines and he has shown he is willing to shoot anyone that comes near. Who would be stupid enough to go there?

You arrive and see people milling around talking, all armed and ready for action but nothing seems to be happening. They look away as you approach and you then see what they were talking about. The body of your daughter is lying just inside his drive, clutching a few wild flowers that were growing in a trough just inside the gate. You look and see she was shot in the stomach and the device that had done it was clear. It was a sawn off wired to the gate. When the gate was opened it would go off. A warning not to open the gate was prominently displayed. Jones himself is nowhere to be seen.

What are you going to do now?
