Solomon' Daughters

Chapter 22

"What the f**k did you do," the first one yelled at her reaching to grab her. She reached out and caught his arm before he could touch her and jerked him forward knocking his feet out from under him with her foot and then let him go. He slammed face first into sidewalk. A collective ouch when through the people who had gathered around to watch when Blake had waylaid them. The third man reached her before she could turn back and seized her shoulder grabbing his wrist she bent and flung him over her shoulder he slammed into the tree by the side of the path. The fourth guy showed a great deal more brains then the other three shared altogether raised his hands and gave Eliza and Anthony a wide berth. He first checked to make sure the one who slammed into the tree hadn't broken his neck when he fell on it, he probably had a concussion. Next he checked the guy who face planted into the side walk but he was mostly fine nothing a few large band-aids wouldn't fix. Lastly he went to check Blake, who was curled around his hand crying.

The campus police ran up and seized Anthony and the other guy, the man told the campus police his name was Shawn. When he insisted it was Eliza that took the other guys out they looked at her delicate body and gave him a dubious look.

"It was me, I was defending myself. You can ask the witnesses," she said gesturing at the crowd around them before another of the officers grabbed her arm. She glared coldly at him over her shoulder and his face pale and he released her.

"Alright we need to know what happened here," the officer who seemed to be in charge said. Taking Shawn aside he began to question him. After fifteen minutes or so the officer took Eliza aside they had kept Anthony and Eliza apart sitting on different benches.

"I am Officer Lawrence. What is your name miss?"

"I am Eliza Solomon."

"Do you go to school here?"

"No."

"Then why are you on campus grounds?"

"Are the campus grounds closed to the public," Eliza asked

"I am the one asking the questions here," Lawrence said.

"Well if you want my cooperation then I think you shouldn't be such an ass. But there is no reason for you to answer because I know full well that the campus is not closed to the public so it is none of your business what I was doing on campus."

Seeing Officer Lawrence's face turn red from where he was sitting Anthony groaned and put his face in his hands.

"Look girl you assaulted four people I think you had better cooperate," Lawrence growled.

"No you look, s**t head, I didn't f*****g assault anyone it was self-defense. Which the f*****g witness will tell you, if you had bothered to ask any of them instead of taking that jackass's story as the truth. Now am I under arrest?"

"Ma'am calm down and sit I have more questions."

"I don't give a s**t about your questions. Am I under arrest?"

"No not yet."

"Then we are done here," she said.

Anthony was brought to the officer next while Eliza sat on a bench twenty feet farther down the path waiting. He had been surprised and amused by her language when she got pissed she really cursed up a storm.

"I'm Officer Lawrence. What is your name?"

"Anthony Caine."

"Do you go to school here?"

"Yes."

"What is your relationship with the victims?"

"I am romantically involved with the victim," Anthony said.

"Your romantically involved with Blake and the other three men," the Officer asked his eyebrow raise in surprise.

"No I am romantically involved with Eliza. You asked about the victim not the perpetrators."

"So what is your relationship with Blake and his friends?"

"We have no relationship they are d**k heads I try my hardest to pretend they don't exist."

"So tell me what happened," Officer Lawrence said. He listened while Anthony told him what happened word for word what was said and even to Anthony's accurate description of the fight and how each of the men's injuries were received. He finished just as paramedics arrived with two stretchers. The one who hit the tree was still out and Blake still didn't uncurl from his ball. The one Eliza had face planted into the sidewalk was awake and screaming obscenities at her and spewing threats. Eliza stood and turned to face the screaming man her eyes catching the light and flashing the silvery white color again. Looking into her eyes the man went silent then he pissed himself and turned and ran away with a police officer after him. Officer Lawrence stared after the fleeing college student for a second then his gaze flicked to Eliza. Noticing his attention on her she shrugged at him and sat back down.

"So you didn't touch any of them," Lawrence asked turning back to face Anthony. Disbelief was plainly written on his face.

"Nope, I was going to deck Blake for grabbing Eliza but she put a hand on my chest and told me she could handle it."

"So you did nothing and just let your girlfriend face a guy over twice her weight?"

"She said she could handle it and I trust her. She handled it just fine didn't she?"

"You think crushing a man's wrist and giving another a dislocated shoulder and a concussion handling it fine?"

"They aren't dead which is what every r****t on the planet deserves," Anthony said to him coolly.

"We're done," Lawrence said standing and heading over to talk to the two other officers who had been questioning the witnesses. Walking over to Eliza he sat down next to her putting an arm across her shoulders and pulling her into him.

You have quite the mouth on you when you get pissed huh," he asked her. She blushed and tilted her head down letting her hair swing forward to obscure the blush that rose to her face. Chuckling he pushed her hair back behind her ear and leaned close to her.

"No need to be embarrassed. Having all those filthy words pouring out of such a beautiful innocent face is kind of a turn on," he whispered in her ear and gently bit the lobe of her ear before running his tongue around the rim of it. She moaned at the feel of it. Someone cleared their throat and Anthony sat back against the bench to find Officer Lawrence standing a few feet away. Eliza was scowling darkly at the man so Anthony reached over and covered her eyes with his hand.

"Yes Officer Lawrence," he asked. Ignoring them both Eliza grabbed Anthony's hand and pulled it from her eyes and began to suck on his fingers. Clenching his jaw to keep from moan Anthony focused on the Officer.

"With the statements from the witnesses and your stories matching it seem evident that this was a case of self-defense. However if they press charges against Ms. Solomon this could still go to court."
