As soon as Janelle was cleared for discharge by the doctor who assured everyone that she would regain her speech and mobility over the next few weeks and eventually make a complete recovery, she was ushered off to jail where she was arraigned and then released since she obviously wouldn't be a flight risk before sentencing day.
Aware of everything going on around her, Janelle was horrified at the thought of not being able to skip court, knowing full well that her husband was big on being responsible and would therefore make sure she went.
And he did. 7Please respect copyright.PENANAWgnvYtP1yv

In jail, Janelle felt like she had even less control. She was made to wear diapers in which she could feel the irritation and smell the stench of her own waste thanks to officers not caring to take the time to change them as often as necessary.7Please respect copyright.PENANAFg7WWeAl0I

To the tune of a few other inmates taunting her, she was fed through an IV tube and instead of being properly bathed by a health professional every day, they would simply turn on the shower every 2 or 3 days and shove her naked body, usually while sitting in her wheelchair, under the freezing cold spray. 7Please respect copyright.PENANAXr2O5KGplV

Janelle couldn't wait to seek revenge on those at the forefront of her misery once she got back to her old self and was free again.7Please respect copyright.PENANAU4y9woo7w0

Once she was made to answer for a slew of lesser crimes and was home and recovered, she could begin getting even.
When her husband was at work, she took the bus to the police station and demanded to see the police report that would give her the name of the officer responsible for shooting her. The desk officer who gave her the information pestered her with questions and warnings about getting even as she poured through it, but Janelle simply brushed them off by saying she simply needed the information for a lawyer she didn't even have representing her.7Please respect copyright.PENANA6CGZfD9Df4
7Please respect copyright.PENANA1dCT0WKAVJ
“What’s their name?” the officer asked.7Please respect copyright.PENANA70X4amAqC0
7Please respect copyright.PENANAEoxtcMq3wS
“I’m not obligated to tell you that.”7Please respect copyright.PENANAFbHwPUz3qr
7Please respect copyright.PENANAjesSfutFTs
These days, one would have likely volunteered to represent her, believing that the shooting, which someone had filmed, would be an open-and-shut case. She had been unarmed and shot from behind. Technically, the officers could have subdued her without firing. This must have been what Janelle meant by insisting she was “unlucky in defense” and cursed with never being able to get anyone to defend her because no one stepped forward to take the honors when it came to her shooting.7Please respect copyright.PENANA79CTIn3Vi2
7Please respect copyright.PENANAeKgqOaTWM1
Janelle, as dumb as she was, was still smart enough to know that she had to wait to get her revenge on her shooter as much as she was bursting with rage and eager to get on with it. If she acted too soon, however, it would be way too obvious. She knew it would be obvious enough as it was.7Please respect copyright.PENANA5yR6L743dw

Meanwhile, there was always Nurse Inez. She remembered her last name was Parker but was unable to find an address for her. That meant she had to enlist the help of her friend Byron, a gay guy she’d known for most of her life who was also from her home state. In his car, they followed the nurse once her shift ended at the hospital.7Please respect copyright.PENANAgDMNcZQP5O
7Please respect copyright.PENANAugGFMCppQP
She only gave him half-truths as to why she wanted to follow her. She told her friend it was for legal reasons. Not so she could go and beat the crap out of her which was exactly what she did.7Please respect copyright.PENANAPP69jyrlp0

Janelle was lucky enough to find that the nurse only lived a couple of miles away from her, so when her husband turned in early one evening telling her he was too tired for sex, as usual, she grabbed her bike and headed over to the nurse's house. 7Please respect copyright.PENANAu6SYEGVjxA
7Please respect copyright.PENANAULe4KCuWqa
She knew witnesses may spot her even though it was dark and she hated to leave her bike in plain view but didn't see any way to hide it. She simply pulled it up as close to the front door of the house as she could.7Please respect copyright.PENANATT4m40NVLJ
7Please respect copyright.PENANAXSoFs7ZNmN
Then she rang the doorbell, hoping that the woman lived alone.7Please respect copyright.PENANAf6xJvZgntV
7Please respect copyright.PENANAsWbXHXhe1Q
The nurse came to the front door and slid the small curtain aside to peer out at her. Janelle hoped she didn't recognize her and wouldn’t have to make a second attempt to get her revenge. With her face heavily made up and her stringy hair thrown in braids, however, the nurse seemed clueless. 7Please respect copyright.PENANAZc2ww2FcZk
7Please respect copyright.PENANAcCHaaJvulj
“Are you Nurse Inez Parker who works at Mercy Hospital?” she asked through the closed door, careful not to let her get too close of a look at her eyes.7Please respect copyright.PENANANppiPMTb7s
7Please respect copyright.PENANANOh4OaYJE3
The nurse hesitated a moment and then said, “Who wants to know?”7Please respect copyright.PENANA0P2Z2XX8iq
7Please respect copyright.PENANAbSDSaHn60b
“The Smith Agency ran me down here with some important papers to give you,” Janelle said showing the woman an empty brown envelope. “I'm just a messenger. I'm running late so it'll only take a second if you could quickly grab this and then I'll be off on my bike.”7Please respect copyright.PENANAkBu7SQ9BBi
7Please respect copyright.PENANAQqeIzRgQPk
The stout nurse with the tough attitude deemed Janelle no threat. She quickly opened the door and said, “I ain’t heard of no Smith Agency but let’s see whatcha got.” She reached a hand out but it was too late. Janelle body-slammed the nurse back inside her house.7Please respect copyright.PENANA4WnmkuZPgI
7Please respect copyright.PENANAGJieEmTjiw
A flurry of threats and swears came pouring out of the nurse as Janelle pounced, too pissed to care if anyone else was in the house. Like perhaps the nurse’s 9-year-old son who ran and hid in his closet, terrified of what he’d heard coming from down the hall. 7Please respect copyright.PENANAunUWBGmm2S

“Remember me? Remember me!?” Janelle shouted as she grabbed the woman by her upper arms and made her face her. “The one whose white ass you were going to get? Well, it's here! Let's see you get it now.”7Please respect copyright.PENANAjTWEMpsgf9

Janelle rained down a series of punches and racial slurs at the nurse who had cruelly tormented her during her hospital stay.
The nurse had never actually caused her any physical harm. Janelle hadn't been worth throwing her career away for. But whenever possible, whenever no one was around to overhear her, she tortured her verbally and emotionally.7Please respect copyright.PENANATNwnRNYyIv
7Please respect copyright.PENANAHkDAhlcfT3
The nurse’s own racial slurs and threats turned to pleas of forgiveness and mercy, promising to give her anything she wanted if she would just leave. The police were on their way, anyway, she insisted.7Please respect copyright.PENANAVpETG7zGEn
7Please respect copyright.PENANAkm29favBUX
That was when Janelle realized others could be in the house who might have already called 911. With one final blow to the head that knocked the nurse unconscious, Janelle took off pedaling furiously in the direction of her house, praying no one had seen or heard anything.7Please respect copyright.PENANAfBSWBbpJcF
