While I would definitely attempt to leave, keep in mind that she was in the situation in the first place was because of engine trouble, so fleeing may not have been a valid option. In her specific situation, shooting through/out of the window may have been a very reasonable response. Also, from the fact that he followed her to the mechanics shop, it sounds like he was up for more bullying and possibly additional pistol waving or even shooting.dicion wrote:Because there's no duty to retreat in The Great State of Texas!XtremeDuty.45 wrote: Prosec: You were in a vehicle, correct?

Seriously though, depends.. if you're blocked in because of traffic, or if you're pretty sure the dude's just going to follow you (after all, he's in a car too)... It could go so many ways.... It's just overall a bad scenario.
The fact that he turned tail once he realized that she was likely somewhere that she would have some form of backup is no indication that his "flight" will hold up, so staying alert seems like a very reasonable thing as well. It sounds to me like an excellent idea to keep your alert status at a high-yellow for now (orange is specific threat detected and preparation to fight, and you can't stay there very long), and allow it to drop back over time.
