Ned panted, he had been running for quite a few minutes to get away from his bully, Billy Loomer. He already had enough problems, and a bully just was not helping. "Bigby! Get back here so I can beat your ass!" Ned quickly straightened and began running again, it was really scary. Loomer had cuts on his face and bruises on his knuckles that everyone assumed was from beating up people, Ned could sense that there was more to the story then what met the eye.

Ned ran off to the 2nd floor, Loomer following behind. But when he turned the corner that he saw Ned go to, no one was there. Or so he thought. As Loomer trudged back to the first floor, he swore, he heard whimpering. Thinking back to that moment the next day, he knew what had happened to Ned. And he was going to confront him the only way he knew, by chasing him.
