"Why can't I watch the older ones? Why do I have to watch the baby? Sanderson...what if it breaks?"

Sanderson held his hand up, halfway out the front door, "Trust me Grimes, you won't be able to handle my two plus Diana's four. You will be fine with Daniel. I'll be back as soon as possible."

Grimes made a face.

He began to protest but Sanderson was out the front door. He raced to the driveway and climbed into the mini-van, where the four kids waited.

Grimes watched Sanderson back out of the driveway and drive off. He then looked down at the young toddle that rested uneasily on his hip. Soulful brown eyes that he had seen before looked up at him curiously. With a sigh Grimes closed the front door with his foot. Then he looked around the front hall, "So what do you want to do?"

Meanwhile...

There were two detectives; one a young Chinese rookier, Michelle Chan and her partner, Robert Harrison, a heavy baldling cop whose gut snuck out from beneath his bullet-proof vest. Both cops stared in surprise as the two women explained what happened.

Detective Chan took notes while her seasoned partner asked questions, "Mrs. Gibson, were you aware of who the two men who...attempted to rob you?"

Detective Harrison watched her reaction, knowing just how dangerous the two men were. After all he was on the case of the crimes the two men had committed. He knew just how dangerous the two men were. For the past year the two men had terrorized the suburban mothers of the area.

He watched Diana shake her head.

Years as a detective made him aware of her body language. Her stance was straight and stiff, her eyes held his, refusing to look away. She was confident and unafraid. Her hands rested protectively over her abdomen. It was something he noticed right away.

"Nope, never saw the bastards before in my life."

Detective Harrison had spoken to Jamie, he noticed every time Diana's eyes darted away from his to peeked in the back of the ambulance at Jamie. It was within eyesight.

"I won't keep you much longer. Just a couple more questions."

Her unique teal eyes found his and she raised her eyebrows, "What else?"

"The tire iron you hit one of the attackers with...where did it come from?" Detective Harrison asked, very careful not to identify the men. He knew who they were the minute he had seen them loaded up into the ambulance.

"The trunk of my car."

"Think back, can you remember how many times you hit him?"

Diana chewed on her bottom lip and narrowed her eyes, not thoughtful but irritated. "Like I told the other officer and the paramedics, I hit him until he stopped moving. The men had knives and threatened to kill us."

"Mrs. Gibson, this is a clear case of self defense."

Diana cocked a single eyebrow.

He then added, knowing she was not a fool. "Ma'am I just need to know what happened. At the most you would be called to testify."

"Then read the police report. You know what happened, I have told everyone here! What else?"

Detective Harrison glanced down at her hands, "Did you hurt yourself?"

Diana shook her head, "I saw the paramedics. Can I go now?"

"Just a few more questions ma'am, if these men are the men I think they are then you are very lucky to be alive."

Unimpressed, she figited against the bumper of a car.

"Where did the stun gun come from? I have seen a few of that issue...that is a military issue stun gun. Are you in the military? How did you come into posession of that weapon?"

Well aware of the implications of his words and her answer, Diana lied, "I found it in my car. I live on the base and my boyfriend uses my car, along with his brother-in-law, her husband. They probably left it in there."

"And how did it end up in Mrs. Eversman's Purse?"

Not missing a beat Diana answered, "Like I said, I found it. We decided to just put it in her purse incase anything happened to the car. You know that there is a car vandalism problem here. We didn't want anyone getting ahold of it. Like you said, it's military issue."

Unsure of whether she was telling the truth or not, Detective Harrison asked, "What does your boyfriend and Mr. Eversman do?"

"They're in the army," Diana answered.

"I'm aware of that ma'am."

"Can I go now," she asked again.

"One last question Mrs. Gibson."

"And what's that?"

"Are you pregnant?"

Diana nodded, "Yeah a little over a month."

"When you're done here you're going to the hospital? Aren't you?"

"Yes."

Detective Harrison reached in his suit pocket and pulled out a business card, he handed it to her, "I want you to call if there is any problem."
