When they stepped outside they found that it had started a light rain. He told Sandy to wait while he went and got the car. She watched as he walked rapidly toward the parking lot. She was wondering why a place with such fine food didn't have valet parking when she saw a group of large figures jump from the shadows and hit Jack from behind. She pulled out her cell-phone and dialed 911. She told the operator where they were and what was happening. She could make out the men stomping on something on the ground. She prayed it was not Jack.
A police car skidded to a halt by the figures. Several of them started to run, a shot was fired and they all stopped and raised their hands above their heads. Sandy hurried toward the scene. An EMS truck pulled up about the same time she got there, its siren screaming. The medics rushed to the figure on the ground. She could see now that it was Jack. He appeared to be unconscious. She tried to get to him but an office held her back. "Please Ma'am, let them work on him. Did you see it happen?"
"Yes I did. I saw it all. The four of them jumped him from behind and hit him in the head. Then they stomped on him and kicked him when he was on the ground and couldn't protect himself."
The policeman asked, "Do you know any of these men?"
"Yes I do. These same four guys tried to rape me about six months ago and Jack defended me and put two of them in the hospital. We are scheduled to go to court and testify against them next week."
She watched as the Medics put Jack on a stretcher and put him in the ambulance. As the men closed the door she identified herself to them and was given permission to ride to the hospital with Jack. On the way she called her parents and told them what had happened. Her mother told her they would call Jack's parents and that they would bring them with them to the hospital.
Sandy sat in the waiting room praying while the doctors worked on Jack. Her parents and Jack's Mom and Dad found her and comforted her while they waited.
