Effie gently patted her back. "You're safe, I promise. The police will be here any minute and they'll take care of everything. Do you think you can stand? If you want, you can rest in my car for a bit."

The girl nodded. Effie helped her to her feet, but the girl's legs were still shaking badly-she was clearly terrified.
