As soon as he slowed down, I pulled the __11__ release, pushed it open and jumped out. I __12__ through people’s yards and tried to put distance and objects between the kidnapper and me.
I ran back to my apartment complex and __13__ doors. One finally opened and an older lady let me in. I __14__ closed the door and locked it. While I was on with the 911 __15__, there was a knock at the door. Standing there was a hulking figure, a Daytona Beach police officer. He was in the neighborhood and __16__ immediately.
Officers __17__ the kidnapper the next day. “You have no idea how __18__ you are,” one of the officers told me. “Carjackings that developed into kidnappings __19__ turn out well.”
