One day she witnesses some youths terrorizing subway passengers, forcing them to get off at the next station. Fearful of a repeat of this type of incident, she gets an unlicensed gun and carries it with her all the time. She also visits the police station but does not get much help. A traumatized Erica returns home to try and regain her life. She is told the shocking news that David was killed and the dog is missing. Erica is knocked unconscious, and regains her senses several days later in a hospital. Two of the men assault the couple, while the third uses a camcorder to film this incident. When David refuses, they start to molest Erica and David intervenes. They eventually find him being held by three men who want a reward. One day while at the park they let the dog run without a leash, and when he does not return or respond to their calls, they frantically search for him. They usually take the dog out for a stroll in nearby Central Park and let him run and fetch.
