Chapter 202

Kelly - followed by Erica and Glenda - came in the door. A moment later Courtney and Janice came in. I pointed all of them towards the meeting room with Jenny and me behind them.

The police officer said, "I am going to question them first."

"You're going to wait until I get a medical report, then you may get a statement from them with counsel," I replied.

"Janice, are you OK?" I asked.

"Two broken fingers and some bruises. I am a lot better than he is, I think," she said.

"Glenda?" "I have some bruises, a bruise on my leg and the inside of my lip is cut," she replied.

"Erica, I can see the bruise on the side of your face - anything else?" "I'm going to have some sore ribs, the vest took the most of it," she replied.

Marcy knocked on the door, "There is a captain wanting to question these three."

"Give us a minute, and then send him in," I replied.

"Jenny and I will be in here with you. Follow Jenny's advice," I said.

Captain Peters and the two officers came into the meeting room.

"Hello Captain Peters, it's good to see you again. I guess rank hath no privileges in Rochester if they have you working this time of the evening," I said.

"I was off but when they call for six ambulances to come to the College I get notified. I am surprised to see you here," he replied.

"When one of my people gets hurt, I get notified," I replied.

"So you three young ladies are security guards?" he asked.

I answered for them. "They are part of the initial setup team. They are going back to Maryland on Thursday, then on to North Carolina on Monday to set up the security office for Warrington Community College," I said.

"I see, I need to get a statement of what happened. One of the idiots is in critical condition and not expected to make it. Something about a fingernail stuck in his brain through the eye socket, and the other two are in serious condition," he stated. "Since you were all together, if one wants to be the spokesperson, the other two can add anything you saw or did differently."

The girls looked at each other. "I will do it," Janice said.

"Glenda and Erica were working the 3 to 11 shift as patrol and I had worked 7 to 3 in the office. I had gone to the gym to workout after my shift. I stopped back by the office to see if Andy was having any trouble with the systems," Janice said.

"Glenda and Erica were just leaving the office to do the next patrol that started along Drag Street by the highway. It is always rough there with the highway and all the yelling from the development across the highway," she said.

"It's policy that we always walk that area in pairs. I went along with them and when they made the dorm loop I was going to drop off and go get something to eat, with Sly, Becky and Lisa. We had almost made it to turnoff point when there was a commotion behind us," she continued.

"We all turned around about the same time to see three men running at us. They were almost on us; it was obvious they were going to try to knock us down and when they reached out to grab us, it left no doubt," she said.

"I took on the biggest one; he was a little ahead of the other two. I guess he thought I would run away. I hit him in the throat first, just about the time he hit the side of my face. It knocked me sideways and he went back. I recovered first; that's when I went for finger pokes to his eyes. If he can't see me he can't hit me," she said.

"I think that's when I broke my fingers. I only tried to get one eye but he moved and his nose was between the two fingers that got broken and it tore off my finger nail." Janice said. "He fell to the sidewalk and did not try to get up.

"I saw Erica go down but bounce back up swinging. Her guy went down and tried to roll towards her to knock her down but she was having none of that. She kicked him somewhere it hurt because he screamed really loud. After the second kick he stopped moving and she put hand cuffs on him. Then she went to help Glenda. Even with my hurting hand I had my guy cuffed," Janice said.

"My guy was keeping my hands busy so I could not get to my pepper spray. The breeze would have blown it back on us if we had used it so it worked out the best. He hit me pretty hard several times but my vest took most of it. I think it hurt his hands because he soon stopped that kind of attack and started going for my face. It was too late - I had already gotten him in the throat and eyes once. He was trying to cover up to keep me from getting him there again. Erica helped me get him down and cuff him," Glenda added.
