Last Tuesday, pizza delivery driver Chris Turner received a phone call from a customer who wanted him to deliver a pizza to a small cabin in the Tennessee mountains, 30 miles away from his shop. Normally, Turner wouldn’t have made a delivery so far from his normal route, but for some reason, he decided to make an exception.
It’s a good thing Turner made that trip. Though he may have hoped for a good tip, he got something much better: the opportunity to save a woman’s life.
When Turner showed up at the cabin, a man came to the door and paid for his purchase by credit card. When the man was looking down to sign his receipt, Turner noticed something very strange. Turner saw “a young lady pop over the back of the couch with her hands bound together”. She “was mouthing to me ‘please call 9-1-1’, quite a few times”, he recalled.
Turner played it cool while completing the delivery, and smilingly told the man to have a nice day. As soon as he was away from the house, he called the police from his cell phone.
Thanks to Turner’s quick work, the police were able to rescue the kidnapped woman and arrest the criminal. “She was just thanking me for trusting her,” Turner said in an interview. “She said he was going to kill her.”
We’re betting that if he gets another out-of-the-way delivery request, he won’t hesitate to make the trip. What’s a little bit of extra distance when you might be saving a life?
