It had been a long night for Sandra Lewis-Marks too. She was hustled from the hospital emergency room and placed in one of the presidential limos with the driver and the guard that stayed with it. Two other agents joined them and they started north. They were on the road for about fifteen minutes before she realized she was really effectively under house arrest. They were asking questions and she noticed that one had taken out a tape recorder and it was running.

With her recognition of the situation the next question hit her. “Where were you when the man entered the room?”

She paused before answering. “I was on the sofa, facing the doors. I could see the bedroom doors and the entrance door.”

“What first attracted your attention?”

“I felt something hit my right shoulder and then I passed out.”

“Did you see anyone before you passed out?”

“No.”

“Do you know what happened then?”

“When I came to my hands were behind my back and my feet were taped together. There was something sticking in my shoulder and I felt like I had been beaten. My arms and legs kept jerking every time I came to.”

“Every time?”

“When he noticed I came to he picked up something and I passed out again.”

“It was a TAZER, they really shock you.”

“I’ve seen films of them I had no idea it was like that. I have bruises on my arms and there is a mark,” she pulled down the neck of her blouse to show the mark on the back of her shoulder. “Whatever it was it sorta burns where it stuck me.”

The agent looked at her shoulder. The mark was behind the top of her shoulder. She was hit from above and behind. He had quickly surveyed the room before they left, her story was consistent. A ceiling tile was out.

“You have a real mark there, does that still hurt?”

“My arm still jumps at times. I wouldn’t want to try to qualify on the pistol range. But it is getting better.”

“Tell me what happened then.”

“He dragged Judi and Jaci in and put them on the floor. Then he got Mitzi. He had them taped when they came in. Then I passed out again and came to when he had a syringe and was taking blood out of his arm.”
