Lydia continued to reassure her parents, "I'm really fine. Quincy showed up just in time and saved me. Plus, I had pepper spray in my bag, and it worked like a charm. One spray and he was down."

Eugene was still unconscious.

"How's Quincy doing now?" Mr. Fay asked, wanting to go in and see him.

Lydia led them into the hospital room where Quincy was having his wounds treated. When he saw them enter, he quickly stood to greet them.
