Zeke had just gotten to his dorm room. It had been a long day of avoiding watchers, putting up with stubborn teachers, and finally an hour of running. He was about to go and watch some TV when there was a knock at the door. He opened it, and immediately wished his door had one of those sliding view-holes that the doors always have in movies.
It was Dante’s gang. And they did not look happy. In fact, several glared at him as if he had killed their mothers in front of them. But this didn’t make sense. Dante had turned over a new leaf lately. Why was his gang still against Zeke?
The answer soon came to him, unintentionally, by a person who was apparently the leader. “Well if it isn’t Zeke Arwen, the hammer legged menace.” He said. Zeke hated being called that. “What’s the matter? Didn’t expect us? Fool. Just because Dante went soft doesn’t mean we’d ever follow suit! Get ‘im, boys!”
Then a large one lurched towards him. “Alright, Zeke, here’s how it’s gonna work.” He said. “There’s gonna be two hits. Me hitting you, and you hitting the wall.” Zeke grinned weakly. “Woah, big guy. I think the line was ‘me hitting you, you hitting the FLOOR.” He said. The large gang member sneered. “Not the way I do things, pal,” He said. And Zeke was punched hard in the stomach, and, true to the man’s word, Zeke hit the wall, hard.
Two of them proceeded to tie Zeke to a chair, and turned him to the TV.
“I see you were just about to watch some TV,” The leader said, noticing that it was on. “Well here’s something you might want to watch.” The leader then inserted a tape into the VCR, and the boy who led the full-scale attack on Zeke a couple of months ago appeared on screen. He was in what appeared to be a warehouse.
“Hello, Zeke.” Said the boy. “I don’t think we’ve been properly introduced. I am Aaron, the NEW leader of the Leg-Breakers.”
Zeke couldn’t stop himself from laughing. “Leg-Breakers? Is that the best you guys could come up with?” This comment was met with a punch to the face, and he continued to watch the video.
“And I shall now succeed where Dante gave up.” Aaron continued. “I have improved on the plan he used a few months ago. How has it been improved, you may ask?”
Zeke was not the slightest bit intimidated. The large one was the only one he found formidable. But that changed in a few seconds, with what Aaron said next:
“This plan is different because this time… we really DO have Sara.”
Zeke was shaken to the core at those words, and the proceeding proof of that claim. Aaron turned the camera to show Sara gagged with duct tape and tied to a pole in the warehouse.
Aaron laughed, as if Zeke’s suffering was funny. “Don’t worry, she’ll be fine. But if you want that to stay true, come to the address on the back of this tape at 9:00 on Saturday.” Zeke couldn’t believe what was happening. “Oh, and one more thing. Make sure you finish any unfinished business you have before then, because I can guarantee that you will not leave that warehouse alive.” And then came the laughter. The maniacal laughter that people hear almost exclusively in movies or on TV. Aaron intended to kill Zeke, using Sara, Zeke’s one true friend, as hostage… and he found all of this funny.
The leader of the group that attacked Zeke then removed the tape and tossed it on the couch. Then they all left, leaving Zeke tied to the chair. This did not look good. At ALL. Zeke couldn’t even get out of the chair. Those goons were good at tying knots, and Zeke’s near skin-and-bone upper body did not help matters.
