Life after the Lottery Ch. 80

"Calm down."

"No! Answer it!"

"Hello?"

"Dr. Smith?"

"Yes?"

"This is Captain Sanders of the Campus Security."

"What's wrong?"

"I have Amy and Samantha Smith in my office. They said to call you."

"Yes, they are my wives. What's wrong?"

"What is it!" Dawn exclaimed.

I held my hand up to Dawn.

"Well, the two of them were leaving a lab, and when they got to the parking lot, they heard a girl scream. They ran to her to see what was wrong, and...they said two boys were trying to pull a girl into a van."

"What happened? Are they okay?"

"Amy and Samantha are...okay."

"Why are they with you then?"

"Dr. Smith? Do the two of them study martial arts or something?"

"Yes, they do so they can protect themselves."

"I see. The two boys that were allegedly attacking the other young lady are two of the football players..."

"Not the first time for this Captain, is it! Are you holding them this time?"

"Well...they were both taken by ambulance to the hospital. We are not sure they will ever play football again."

"That is beside the point, Captain! What happened?"

"Amy and Samantha claim that when they tried to help the other young lady, the boys attacked them...and they had to defend themselves."

"I am sure they did!"

"I think you better come here so we can discuss this. The two football players are very badly hurt."

"I am sure they are! We'll be there in 15 minutes!"

"Okay. I'll wait for you."

"Yes, you will!"

I hung up.

"Let's go," I said.

"What happened!!"

"Two football players jumped another girl in the parking lot. It sounds like she screamed, and Amy and Samantha went to her rescue."

"Are they okay!"

"I think so. The Captain said the two boys were hurt pretty bad and were taken to the hospital."

"Good for them!"

We grabbed our keys and things and ran out to the Escalade. I turned on my red and blue lights, and we left in a hurry.

"Maybe they won't be able to cover it up this time!" Dawn exclaimed.

"Call Dan and tell him to meet us at the Campus Security office. We will get the real police involved this time."

As I drove, I listened to Dawn tell Lieutenant Dan what had happened.

"He was on his way. Amy had already called him because she said she called 911, and they told her to call Campus Security. Dan said they are tired of the school covering this shit up, and he is going got make a big case out of it since Amy and Samantha are involved," Dawn said.

"It's about time."

We drove fast to the school. When we pulled into the parking lot of the Campus Security, there were three city police cars there with their red and blue lights flashing and another pulling in behind us.

"I guess Dan is going to make a huge deal out of it!" I exclaimed.

We jumped out and ran into the building. We saw Amy sitting with Dan in the small lobby, talking.

"Where is your sister?" Dawn asked.

"Down the hall. One of the nurses is checking on her," Amy said.

"Is she okay?"

"She got punched."

"Where!"

"In the face."

Dawn went running down the hall.

"Are you two okay?" I asked.

"My neck is sore. One of them grabbed me from behind and tried to choke me."

I sat next to her and lifted her chin up. She had some big red abrasions and bruises coming up around her neck.

"Anywhere else?"

"My hand hurts."

I took her hand, and Dan and I looked at it. She had some bleeding and bruised knuckles.

"What about your sister?" Dan asked.

"About the same. We were pulling the two guys off her. They had all her clothes off and were trying to get her in the side door of a van. We grabbed the guy outside that was holding the naked girl while she screamed and kicked. He let go and turned and punched sis. I pulled the girl away from the guy inside the van. He must have jumped out and grabbed me from behind. It went downhill for him quickly from there..." Amy said, then giggled.

"Good girl," Dan said.

"Have you talked to anyone yet?" I asked Dan.

"Oh, yes. The Captain assured me they would take care of everything."

"I bet he did. You know these football players have been getting away with shit for years," I said.

"I know. But they are fucked this time. We usually can't get the victims to file a report with us. We have been pretty sure the university put a lot of pressure on them not to do it. But with Amy and Sam involved, they are screwed this time!" Dan said.

"They will try and put pressure on them, too," I said.

"Fuck them!" Amy exclaimed.

"Where is the young lady they attacked?" I asked.

"We got her to the ER...finally," Amy said. "Then they brought us back here!"

"I sent another detective there to get a statement before they try to shut her up," Dan said.

"We got her back to sis' car. She was naked. Sam had some scrubs..."

"I am going to check on Samantha," I said.

I walked down the hall and found her. Dawn had pushed the school nurse out of the way and was checking on Samantha. She had a big bruise growing under her left eye. She looked up at me and smiled.

"Excuse us, please," I told the nurse, and she left.

"What happened?"

"We heard a girl screaming near us as we walked to my car. We ran and found two guys pulling a naked girl into a van. One was holding her as she kicked and screamed. There was another guy in the van pulling on her. She kept screaming they were raping her. I yelled at them to let her go while sis was calling security. She kept screaming, and I punched the guy that was holding her in the ribs...as fucking hard as I could! He let go of the girl and turned and punched me. Once he did that...he was fucked! The other one grabbed sis' phone. She reached for her phone, and he grabbed her from behind around the neck. Sis went after him while I took the first one down. I just went on automatic."

"What do you remember?"

"He went to punch me again, and I broke his fucking arm or elbow. Something cracked. I remember him grabbing me with his other hand...and I hit him in the throat...and I think I broke that arm and his knee or leg when I took him to the ground because he was kicking me. Fucking asshole! He was gasping for air, and I heard the other one behind me screaming. I turned around to help sis, and she had him on the ground doing what Dawn did to the guy in France. She fucked his arm up good! We left them both on the ground screaming and grabbed the poor girl, and got her into my car. Amy called 911, and they told us to call Campus Security. I said fuck that, and we called Dan, then called security."

"Good for you two!" Dawn exclaimed.

"The girl was still panicking and screaming. She thought two more guys had her. We got her calmed down and checked her out about the time one of the Campus Security cars pulled up. I told the guy to call an ambulance for her, but he didn't call one for her. They didn't seem very concerned about us, just the two guys. Fucking assholes..."

"Well, they won't be able to cover it up this time," Dawn said.

"They wouldn't let us take the girl to the ER. Dick head security said she was okay! They have already accused sis and me is using too much force..."

"Fuck that!" Dawn yelled. "Who did?"

"Captain Sanders! Another dick head!""

"His ass is mine!" Dawn jerked the door open and went down the hall, yelling for him.

"I wouldn't want to be him," I said as I looked at Samantha's eye. "Have they gotten you anything for your eye?"

"No! He pulled us into his office and started yelling at us!"

"Don't worry about it."

I went out into the hall and found the young nurse.

"Young lady, you have about 30 seconds to get some kind of medical attention for Samantha! She said she has been here a while, and no one seems to be interested in how badly she is hurt!"

"Yes, sir! I was going to get her an ice pack."

"Then get on it!!"

She went running down the hall. I went and found Dan. He was talking to two uniforms. I could hear Dawn screaming at someone down the hall. Amy was looking around the corner in the direction I heard Dawn screaming. Dawn had a few choice names for him as everyone listened.

"Hey, Dan. Samantha said the Captain has already held them in a room and yelled at them, accusing them of using too much force. She also said the security guard that came wouldn't help them or let them take the girl to the ER."

"That is what Amy told us. Captain gave me that speech too. I asked him how he would be able to defend that position when the press got here. I told him it was going to be hard to explain how and why two little pregnant girls beat up two of the football players!"

The uniform cops snickered.

"Did you call the press?"

"Well...it seems someone did..." Dan smiled.

"Have you heard from the hospital about the two guys and the girl?"

"Some. My detective called me. The girl is pretty beat up. They're sure they raped her. One of the guys has two severely broken elbows, a badly broken or dislocated knee, broken ribs, and...a partially crushed trachea."

"That would be the one that attacked Samantha," I said.

"You're right. The other has numerous broken ribs and a punctured lung, broken arm, as well as a broken and dislocated shoulder...thanks to Amy."

"There is no way they will cover it up this time."

"They are going to try. The one Sam messed up is the starting quarterback. The other is his buddy, the starting wide receiver," Dan said.

"Dan...I am not going to stand for them pressuring the girls!"

"Neither am I!"

Dan pulled me away from the uniforms.

"Amy appears okay for the most part, but Sam got punched pretty bad. I think both of them need to go to the ER to be checked out...understand?" Dan said and smiled.

"Say no more. We'll take care of it."

"Go ahead and take them now. I am going stay here and raise some hell if I don't have to arrest Dawn for killing the Captain! I'll be over to the hospital soon."

"Got it."

We could still hear Dawn screaming as Dan headed her way. I went back to Amy.

"We are going to take you to the ER."

"I'm fine."

"No, you're not," I winked at her.

I walked down to the room where Samantha was being treated.

"Samantha, come with me. Lieutenant Dan said you need to go to the ER."

Samantha stood.

"I don't think she is hurt that bad," the young nurse said.

"Did I ask you! Both of them are four months pregnant! Amy is having cramps!"

I took Samantha, and we headed down the hall.

"Is sis okay?"

"Shh..."

When I got back to Amy, Dawn was walking up, steaming mad.

"Come on, Amy. We are taking you to the ER because you are having cramps," I said.

"Are you?" Dawn asked.

"Just like in Paris," I said. Dawn looked at me.

"Oh? Oh! Come on Amy!! I hope you are not having a miscarriage!!" Dawn yelled as three of four people looked on.

"Ohhhh!" Came from Amy as she doubled over. "I'm going to lose my baby!!"

Dawn got her up, and we took the two of them to the Escalade.

"Sis! Are you okay!" Samantha exclaimed.

"Yes..." She said and laughed.

As we drove them to the emergency room, we explained what needed to go down.

"I think you two fucked those two up pretty bad," I said.

"I hope so!" Samantha exclaimed. "I sure tried to! Assholes!"

"I fucked one of them up good," Amy said.

"What do you remember?" Dawn asked Amy.

"After he started choking me...not much. I kept elbowing him in the ribs as hard as I could until he let go...and I turned and punched him in the ribs hard with my free hand several times. I twisted his arm and put him on the ground, then did what you taught me, so he wouldn't get back up. I twisted and pulled with my foot on his shoulder until it cracked really loud. I needed to help sis."

"Good job."

"He was doing a lot of screaming," Amy said.

"I bet he was. You two play it up at the ER."

When we got to the ER, Dawn ran inside and came back with a wheelchair and a nurse.

"Dawn! What happened to the girls!" The nurse exclaimed.

"They were attacked by those two boys you have!"

"Are they okay!"

"Samantha was punched in the eye badly by one of them. Amy was grabbed and choked, and now she is having cramps. They are both four months pregnant!"

"Oh, my, god!" The nurse exclaimed.

I helped Samantha in as the two of them rushed Amy into the ER.

"Ham it up," I said.

"Oh, we will!" Samantha said and giggled.

Once we were in the ER, they rushed Amy back. With all the doctors and nurses we knew, they were going to make sure the girls were taken care of. Another nurse came to check on Samantha.

"Dr. Smith, you check them in while we get them back," she said.

I went to the counter to get the forms.

"Are they okay?" The lady asked.

"We hope so. Those two boys that jumped the other girl went after them when they tried to help her."

"Oh, my! Dr. Smith, don't worry about these forms! You go back and be with them!"

I smiled as I walked away. I found Amy and Dawn in one room. Amy was doing a good job of faking cramps. Dawn was telling the doctor to make sure her neck wasn't injured. I found Samantha one room down. The nurse was taking her blood pressure while another doctor looked at her eye.

"You got hit pretty hard, Samantha. Does it hurt?" The doctor asked.

"It is starting to."

"I bet, now that the adrenaline has worn off."

"Dr. Peters. She and her sister are both four months pregnant," I said.

"Oh, my! Sam, are you having any cramps? Did you get hit in the stomach?"

"I don't remember...once he hit me...I was just fighting for my life. I was so scared!" Samantha exclaimed and began to cry.

I had to stifle a laugh as Samantha started crying.

"Nurse, page obstetrics! Get an ultrasound in here, stat!"

"I think they have the ultrasound with her sister."

"Get another one!"

The nurse ran out. He had a flashlight out, looking into Samantha's eye.

"Sam, can you see, okay?"

"I think I am seeing some spots...or floaters."

"Okay. We'll get ophthalmology down soon."

The doctor came to me.

"Dr. Smith, we will check her out and make sure she is okay. I'll have OB and ophthalmology check her out thoroughly."

"Thanks, Dr. Peters. And tell OB not to tell anyone the sex of her baby."

"Will do!" He said with a smile.

Another nurse came in.

"Honey, I am going to check on your sister. Will you be okay?" I asked.

"I guess!" Samantha exclaimed and started crying harder.

"Oh, honey. You will be okay," the nurse said as she comforted her.

"I was so scared!"

I went back to Amy. Dawn was watching as they did an ultrasound. They now had Amy in a neck brace.

"Is she okay?" I asked.

"Yes. You need to leave so you don't see the sex of the baby."

I leaned over to whisper to Dawn.

"Samantha is in tears..."

Dawn giggled.

"I need to check on my little sister!" Amy yelled. "Where is she!"

"Honey, they are looking at her," I said.

"Is she okay! They tried to beat her up and rape her too!!"

I turned and giggled as I walked further down the hallway until I came to the room where they were working on the young lady. She was pretty banged up and crying. I walked on down until I found one of the guys. It must have been the one that attacked Samantha because the two doctors were debating whether to put a breathing tube in before they sent him for X-rays and a CT.

I walked on down to where I heard groaning and screaming. They were trying to splint the guy's leg as he screamed.

"Give him more for pain," the doctor said. "I'll work on his leg later. I need to look at his arm and shoulder. Someone sure beat the shit out of this guy. I guess they wanted to make sure he couldn't play football."

I watched as he looked at some chest X-rays.

"Damn! Must have been one big son-of-bitch that hit him in the ribs! Four are broken badly. Two more are cracked, and one may be puncturing his lung. I hope they catch the guys."

"What happened?" I asked.

"They found these two guys in the parking lot. Security said some guys had jumped them. Probably from another football team."

"Really?"

He looked at me.

"Oh, hi, Dr. Smith."

"Who said they got jumped by some guys?"

"The Captain. He told me to write that down."

"Really? Did you write that down?"

"Oh, yes...for the police report."

"Just to set the record straight, Dr. Willis, the two of them were trying to rape a young lady, the one down the hall, and my girls pulled them off."

"Did Dawn do this?"

"No. My other two wives did it when they were attacked by these two assholes. Dawn would have killed them."

"Amy and Sam!"

"Yes. They heard the girl screaming and went to help, and these two went after them."

"Can they fight like Dawn?"

"Close enough...apparently." He laughed. "Dawn is a good teacher!"

"Oh, shit...I shouldn't be laughing. Nurse, hold off on the pain meds for now."

"Just make sure your records don't say they were jumped by "some" guys. Put down that the two little pregnant girls they attacked beat their asses to the ground!"

"Okay! I'll change it!"

"No. Add it."

I walked back down the hall to find Dawn. I saw her talking to Dan and went to them.

"You'll like this, Dan. The Captain told the doctors here that these two guys got jumped by some big guys from another football team and to put that down for the police report."

"Really? So now he is falsifying records, too."

"Sounds like it. He told Dr. Willis to write that down."

"How are the girls?"

"Doing as well as you expected them to be doing."

Dan giggled.

"You know what. I am going to get a copy of the two guys' records quickly before they change them. I have wanted that Captain's ass for a long time now."

"Maybe you will have it this time," Dawn said. "After I finish with it!"

"Just leave me a little," Dan said.

"Dr. Willis will cooperate with you, Dan."

Dawn went with Dan to get the notes they had made so far. They were finished with the ultrasound on Amy, so I went in to see her.

"This is too much trouble," she said.

"No, it's not. The school needs to get its act cleaned up. I have something to make you laugh."

"What?"

"When they brought the two guys in, the Captain told the doctors they had been jumped by some big guys from another football team, and they beat them up."

"What!" Amy laughed.

"Dan has gone to get the notes to see if they have written that down yet. He wants that Captain's ass."

"Good. Will the two guys make it?"

"Yes. Don't worry about them. They got what they deserved."

Dan and Dawn came back a few minutes later.

"Got them. And the TV stations are here. Would you two like to make a statement before the school does?" Dan said with a smile.

"You bet!" Dawn said.

"Be careful. You work for them," I said.

"They are outside with the other detective. She is giving them a statement. I uh...called in some help. Oh, make it look good for the cameras," Dan said.

Dan made it look good as he led us through the lobby. It was full of uniformed police. I had my arm wrapped around Dawn as she cried. When we got outside, we both almost burst out laughing. There were about a dozen black and white city police cars outside with all their blue lights running.

"You are making a mess of this, aren't you," Dawn snickered.

"Oh, you bet your ass," Dan replied.

Dan walked us over to the other detective as three TV crews talked to her.

"Ladies and gentlemen. I want to ask that you give the Smiths some privacy, please," Dan said.

That was all it took.

"Dr. Smith! Dr. Smith!" They yelled.

I wrapped my arm around Dawn and walked to them.

"Dr. Smith! Did one of your wives get raped!" A lady reporter asked.

Dawn turned her head and put it under my arm like she was crying.

"No! No! Let me clear things up, please! Our wives, Amy and Samantha Smith, were leaving a late lab here on campus just after 9:00. When they got to their car in the parking lot, they heard a girl screaming. The two of them went to check and found two men trying to pull a naked young girl into a van as she screamed they were raping her. They yelled at the two men to stop, and the two men went after them..."
