The blonde glared at me and hurried back to her car, opening the driver’s door. Thank God, I thought, and started back toward the house, anxious to check on the kids. That was the few seconds she needed to retrieve a tire tool from the floorboard. Before I realized it, she was behind me, swinging the metal tool toward my face. When I saw it coming, I raised my shoulder to protect myself and it slammed into my collar bone, glanced off and hit me across the face. A bone cracked, sounding like a rifle shot.
