The officers shooed away the crowd. My officer took a statement from me, detailing what had happened. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed that Bradley, standing nearby, listened intently. The cop told me I would have to go down to the station house and sign the statement once it had been typed up. I agreed, and the officer turned his attention to Bradley. "Sir, may I ask your name, and can you tell me about your involvement in this incident?" Bradley hesitated. "My office is on this block. I came out to get some lunch, and stopped when I saw what was happening. The other men here are the heroes. I just happened by and saw Miss Bennett after the fact." "So you weren't a witness to the crime?" "No," he said. "All right, then. I suppose there's no need to involve you. Miss Bennett, you'll be notified when to present yourself at the precinct. The two of you are free to go." The four men who saved me came over to shake hands. I hugged each one. I kept trying to thank them, told them they'd be in my prayers, but they said they'd done what anyone would do.
