I came up to about 15 feet from them without them even noticing me. I drew my pistol, and they heard me cock it. All three jumped to their feet and re...ched for their guns. I was so close that I could not possibly miss as I put a bullet into the first man's right elbow. He screamed and distracted the other two, so I had them covered with a cocked gun; they froze in place, afraid to move.I said, "All right, gentlemen, one at a time, drop your gunbelts on the ground. Use your left hand. We'll. That way, won't no nosy neighbor see ya enough ta know whats goin' on. That OK with ya?" Oh, yessir, Massa Jeff. That's jus' fine with me.

I couldn't wait for the next evening when we had arranged to do a little more algebra (!!!) so that I could talk it through with Lisa. This time I found my way to her house, which was only about 10 minutes walk from mine.Compared to the lovely six bedroom house I was in, Lisa's parents had a much smaller 3 bedroom semi. I found it without problem and her mum and dad were.
