Jack Cage: Nothing But Trouble

TWO

    "Who did this?" Cage asked.
    "I don't know... he's a teenager but probably older and bigger than you. I think the whole family has been picking on younger kids, just to show whose boss," the mother replied.
    "Is he still around?"
    "I think so. This just happened. Around 40 seconds before you showed up. They are probably at the barbecue pit there," the mom said, pointing to the barbecue pit.
    "Okay. Thanks"
    "Don't start a fight with them I doubt you can win."
    "Don't worry. Just a small talk."
    "Okay. Please be careful."
    "Don't worry. I will," Cage said before heading to the barbecue pit.
    Cage looked towards the barbecue pit and saw a bunch of boys talking. Cage then saw a teenage guy around his size laughing along with several others, who Cage assumes are the brothers. One nice family. Cage walked up to the barbecue pit and shouted, "who is the one who pushed a little girl into the water?" No reply. Cage grabbed a big spoon nearby and smashed it on the sausages that were being barbecued.
    "I'm going to ask again. Who was the one who pushed the little girl into the pond? If no one steps up, I'll make sure one of your faces goes on the grills," Cage said again.
    Then a guy signalled to another teenage boy to escort Cage away. The guy put his hand on Cage and said, "come on pal, let's go before it gets ugly."
    "You're right. Putting your hand on me will be the first step to making things more ugly, and it will be. So answer my question," Cage replied.
    "I'm sorry pal. Let's go," The guy replied.
    "Okay. Fine. Let's go," Cage said and the guy led him out.
    Cage and the guy walked away from the pit and Cage asked, "what's your name?"
    "Drake," he replied.
    "Okay Drake. Walk off away from me now, and you won't have to go home in pain," Cage said.
    "What do you want anyway?"
    "To talk to whoever pushed the poor girl in the water. Simple," Cage replied.
    "I'm sorry. But I can't do that," Drake replied.
    "Then I'm sorry too," Cage said.
    Cage then swung his elbow back and it slammed into Drake's face. Just as Drake was falling, Cage used his fist to smash Drake's right cheek. Drake fell down, groaning in pain. Cage then kicked Drake hard in the stomach till Drake puked. Cage then calmly said, "I warned you," then walked back towards the barbecue pit, leaving Drake on the floor retching.
    When Cage went back and everyone saw him, they had a puzzled look on their face. Cage said, "Drake is fine by the way. Just retching on the floor. The same will happen to all of you if you don't answer my damn question. Who. The hell. Pushed the little girl in the water?"
    One of the boys then stepped forward and said, "I did. You happy now douche?"
    "What's your name?"
    "Jason. Jason Chang."
    Cage then scanned the area and saw that there was a Swimming pool. Jason then said, "so what do you want huh?"
    "To deliver a message, from the association of anti-bullying."
    "Is there even such a thing?"
    "Maybe."
    "What is the message?"
    "A question really. Do you think it's fun?"
    "Kind of, yeah."
    "Well then I will find this fun too. Let's see how you like it."
    With that said, Cage's fist smashed into Jason's nose, probably breaking it, and Jason fell into the pool. Cage then stared at the rest of the family, who had a mix of shock, anger and hatred in their eyes, before coolly walking away as if nothing happened.
