No fresh meat so they had to draw down from the family cupboard so to speak ... I was thinking more along the lines of the child running out of the house to get away from mom and dad fighting, and then realizing she could get in BIG trouble for being outside coming back to house just as dad slams out of the house jumps in van and roars out the driveway not seeing her behind him. PANIC! and the story unfolds. IE you do not have to have bones broken for someone to die.
