TRINITY (THE TERRIBLE TRIO)

Chp 4 : THE TRUTH

"You scared, boy?" asked the head of the abandoned."Anyone would be. When there are nearly 300 people surrounding you, many will wet their pants. Well, I wanted to ask you why you thrashed 5 of my people. So I sent my captains to bring you here so we could have face-to-face conversation but you weren't trying to understand. You fought them. Jason filled me up on what happened between you guys. Anyways, me and my members are very kind-hearted people so lemme ask you again. 'Why did you beat up my members?'
(In a serious tone)Just remember one thing, if your answer isn't reasonable be prepared to have a hand broken."

Daniel said (in a furious voice), "YOUR GANG MEMBERS WERE EXTORTING  MONEY FROM STUDENTS AND YOU CALL YOURSELF KIND-HEARTED?!!! MY A**."

"Extorting!.... Ah I see. So those guys were extorting money behind my back....Oi Marco, get those 5 guys in front of me."

"Brother, two of those are still in hospital. This guy bashed their heads real hard and One ran away." said Marco.

"Bring those 2 atleast" said the head.

Marco quickly got those two guys in front of the head.

"Were ya'all extorting money from highschoolers? Don't lie. I hate people who lie." asked the head of abandoned to those two guys with a straight, emotionless face.

"Ye..yes brother" said those two guys."Okay, Marco break the right hands of both of them and take them to the hospital."

Marco, without hesitation broke the right hands of those guys, put them on his bike and took them to the hospital Daniel was shocked on seeing this scene. He was scared on hearing the screams of those guys. He was thinking,"What the hell!!! Has there leader gone insane?! He gave orders to break hands of his own men! Why the hell did he ordered to take them to the hospital?!And that Marco guy broke them like he was breaking twigs,with no hesitation!! These guys are f**ked up!!"

While all this was going down, Jake and Ken regained their consciousness. They two were shocked on seeing their surroundings. Jake asked Daniel (in a stuttering voice)"He....hey, Daniel what is going on?!! Why....why the hell are so many people here. Are they here to ki...kill us?"

"I'll tell u guys later if we get out alive. Now's not the time." said Daniel in a soft and low voice.

"Oh, your friends gained their consciousness! Jason, untie them." said the head in a cheerful voice.

Jason untied them. He gave them some water to drink.

Daniel, who was confused by this sight, asked the head," ARE YOU NUTS?! WHO THE HELL HURTS THEIR GANG MEMBERS?! AND PAYS FOR THEM?!"

"~Calm down, calm down~" said the head." My fami- I mean gang follows a certain set of rules and there's a rule in it that extorting money from anyone is strictly prohibited. If anyone commits extortion. They have to face consequences."

"Wait, did you say family. Why?" asked Daniel." Yeah. Well we don't usually tell people about us but you three are special case so I will tell you. But first intro."

"MYSELF ADAM BRAUN a.k.a. BROTHER , AGE 26, I AM THE HEAD OF THE GANG YOU KNOW AS 'ABANDONED'!!! , said Adam in a loud voice.
(in a normal tone)The people around you are all my family. 'ABANDONED' is divided into 5 factions. Each faction has its own captain. The Captain of 1st division is MARCO GREN, age 26, ex- Judoka. The Captain of 2nd division is JASON KIM, age 26, ex-boxer. The Captains of 3rd and 4th division are not here at the moment so I will introduce them to you later. The Captain of 5th division is RYAN SHAW, age 24, he did Jiu-Jitsu back in the days. Be careful around him, he is furious and he acts like an a**hole sometimes and yes I called them family because we are one, you can get familiar with the rest of the members later as it will take too much time. I, Jason, Ryan and Marco were the founding members of ABANDONED. We all were rusticated from our school and were thrown out of our houses because of an incident that happened 7-8 years ago which ruined our lives..... I don't want to talk about it....We were just 18, Ryan was 16 though, roaming in the city, searching for employment and a place to live in. While in search of these, we found many other people like us who were abandoned by the society, by their friends and families. They were not just from our city but from nearby cities as well. We helped each other, we worked together, we grew and grew in numbers and that's how we became A VERY BIG FAMILY. Most of us guys here work part time for earning money, we even take care of those who are abandoned and  can't work due to illness or any disability. We call ourselves 'FAMILY', ABANDONED' is the name given to us by the society. People call us delinquents and gangsters because we often get into fights with other gangs, those gangs are sometimes small gangs from our city or other big gangs from other cities. We even got involved with police Ever wondered 'Why the schools in our city aren't under any gangs?' That's because we were the ones who protected you from external threats all these years. We were in our third year when we were abandoned, but our juniors still were in contact with us. They knew that we had no fault in what happened. Whenever they had to face bullying, they came to us. We used to settle things for them. All these years we protected you from the real gangs who wanted to take over our city they even wanted to make a truce with us but we turned it down everytime.  We are just like a runaway fam but the only difference is that we didn't runaway, we were abandoned..... We the, members of family , kept fighting alongside, we became stronger gradually, our bonds grew stronger.And this how we are today - ready to die and ready to kill for each other.
Hope you have understood who and what we are."

After hearing Adam's story, the trio thought just one thing - ALL DELINQUENTS ARE NOT THE SAME.

Daniel said," We are all sorry for the trouble we caused for you. So can we all leave?"

"No!", said Adam.

The trio was shocked to hear this.

"I mean let us take you where you want to go. Do you even know the way outta here", said Adam.

"Eh..no. Hehehehe", said Jake.

"Jason, Ryan, take them to a doctor and pay for their bills and drop them where they want."
said Adam.

"There's no need of taking us to the hospital" said Ken.

"No-no I insist. And yeah we don't usually take in normal highschooler who are happy with their families  like you but you guys have a place here if you ever feel like becoming a member here or if any delinquent in our city troubles you just tell them you got Abandoned backing you or if they don't believe it then just give me a call. I'll talk to them. Every thug, delinquent or gangster knows me in the city. Jason, give them my phone no. Also this isn't our actual home, just call and tell me you wanna come to see our home, I will personally bring you there.", said Adam.

"Ok...we'll think 'bout it" said Daniel.

While the trio was leaving Adam said to himself looking at the trio,"You guys are just like us."

The trio then went with Jason and Ryan . The trio told them to drop them at the school. Jason and Ryan escorted them to the hospital and then to school and gave them their contact no. and bade bye to them.

"Why did you tell them to escort us to school. Why not home?" asked Jake in a tired voice.

"We already got these bruises and wounds on our face and body. We are covered in bandages. Explaining them to our parents is gonna be difficult, plus we are late. Our mom's must be worried and in all of this if we arrive with these guys at home then it's over." said Daniel.

"Hmmmmmm,you are right." said Jake.

"So we back to our normal lives?" asked Ken.

"Who knows...... But we atleast know that we ain't gonna run away if any problem comes our way." said Daniel with a smile on his face.

"Let's go now guys. I am really tired." said Jake.

Our trio somehow managed to get out of the fix but is their life gonna be simple again or this is just a break from it?..........
