It was just another busy afternoon at Walmart, with carts clattering and people rushing to get their groceries, until a tiny six-year-old girl ran straight into the arms of a giant biker in a Demons MC vest.<\/p>\n
She was all teary and signing frantically. The biker, covered in tattoos and wearing a leather vest, answered her in fluent signs, calm and steady. Looking at them, some of the shoppers started stepping back.<\/p>\n
\u201cCall 911,\u201d he told me. \u201cThere\u2019s a kidnapped child here at the Henderson Walmart.\u201d<\/p>\n
The biker carried her to customer service while a few other bikers formed a protective circle around them.<\/p>\n
Using sign language, the little mute girl shared her story. Her name was Lucy, she was deaf, and had been taken from her school three days ago.<\/p>\n
The people who kidnapped her knew she was deaf and mute, but what they didn\u2019t know was that she was awesome at reading lips so they spoke right in front of her. That\u2019s when she learned they were planning on selling her to someone for fifty-thousand dollars.<\/p>\n
People started wondering why the girl ran towards the biker out of all the people there, and that\u2019s when they learned that it was because of the small purple hand patch on his vest.
\n\u201cI teach sign at the deaf school in Salem,\u201d the biker said. \u201cThis patch means a safe person.\u201d<\/p>\n
