"- you'll be too dead to care," the suspect sneered at Joan, aiming a handgun at her.
He was 30 feet away. Too far to run before he pulled the trigger. There was no cover. No time. Joan sprinted down the sidewalk at him, keys clasped tightly in her hand. Half-way there, she threw them at his face as hard as she could.

"Bitch bwoke my nose," he later complained to the arresting officers.
"This 'bitch' played two years of fastpitch softball," Joan informed him.
