How to Deal With a Neighborhood Problem

I grew up in a quiet suburb outside of Houston. The big neighborhood problems would be teens vandalizing our car break-ins Annoying but not really terrifying. I was getting to be friends with who asked if I could give her a ride home It was a little out of the way, but I didn't mind Her neighborhood was pretty sketchy. When she got inside she blinked the lights a couple of times to let me know she was in safe And I headed for my childhood home.
