Scary Counselling II

Recently I recalled a scary counselling session. There have not been many in my career, but here is another one. A woman called me, whispering: "I'm in the bedroom, talking into a corner. [My husband] is in the kitchen with a gun, and he's threatening to kill me. I can't get out of the house without passing the kitchen door. Please help!" I went to the house. The front door was open. Her husband was standing at a kitchen counter with a revolver in his hand, shaking. When he saw me, he opened a kitchen cupboard at his knees, and slipped the gun into the cupboard. OBSERVATION: Even though this was "uneventful", I was shaken. The couple made up their differences, and settled down to domestic bliss.
