Chapter 9
Dewey couldn't talk to Richard at all. Every question he asked, Richard started shaking. He asked Webby to knock him out so he could talk to the next best person. It wasn't Derek, but Jared. Dewey put the chair in front of Jared.
"Why did you do it?" Dewey asked seriously. Jared looked at his eyes. They were burning with searing flames.
"Because we were told to do it." Jared said looking down. "That's the only reason." Dewey moved closer.
"What about before that?" Dewey asked angrily. "You didn't even know who I was, yet you beat me up and stole my stuff." Jared then started to finally crack knowing that he was tied to a tree and couldn't lie to these questions.
"We were poor." Jared started as he began to cry. "All of our parents kicked us out of the house because we took drugs. Jonas and I got better, but Richard was too far gone. We then met Derek, he gave us a chance at life, so we took it." Dewey interrupted.
"You mean he turned you into violent criminals." Dewey said trying to show that Derek is a bad person. "I'm sorry, doesn't he also beat you up if you don't do what he says?" Jared started defending Derek.
"Only if we don't obey." Jared said. Dewey didn't know what to say. Derek manipulated these people into bullying him. How could he get through to them. Then he decided to talk about what happened to Huey.
"You know what my least favorite part about Derek was." Dewey started to say. "He would make Huey come home thinking that he deserved to be beat up." Jared looked up at a crying Dewey. "He bullies others to make his life seem less miserable, even his friends. But when he hurt my brother, I wanted to.." Louie grabbed him before he could finish, but Dewey let go and finish anyway. "I know you think he's your friend, but friends don't hurt other friends." Dewey said as he moved the chair over to Derek. Derek was still asleep. Huey sat down, took a snowball, and threw it Derek's face. Derek immediately woke up to another snowball thrown at his face.
"I'm not stopping till you bark like a dog!" Huey said. Derek didn't wanna bark, so Huey continued pelting him with snowballs. Derek finally gave in and barked as Huey stopped hitting him with snowballs. "How does it feel?" Derek was confused by the question. "Being forced to do something you don't wanna do, I want you to tell me how it feels!" Huey yelled. Derek started to speak.
"It feels great!" Derek lied as Huey threw another snowball at his face.
"It feels awful doesn't it!" Huey said angrily. "Knowing that if you don't do what I say you get hit with a snowball." Huey said. Derek became angry.
"Untie me before I..." Derek was about to finish until Huey lifted up the back of his shirt, revealing the letters HDL.
"Before you what?" Huey asked angrily. "You don't own me anymore Derek, I don't need you telling me what to do anymore." Derek was shocked, he thought that Huey would've listened to him because he was afraid. But now Derek is the one who's afraid. "Derek, I'm sorry for what your dad did, I'm sorry for what our uncle did, but I am not sorry for what's about to happen next." Huey said pulling out his phone. He dialed the numbers 911.
"What are you doing?!" Derek said trying to get out of the rope. But it was too tight, he couldn't force himself out. Huey hung up the phone.
"The police will be on their way in 20 minutes, meaning we have 10 minutes to talk." Huey said. Derek was angry.
"Why did you call the cops, we didn't commit any crimes?!" Derek said angrily. Huey took out his hands to count the amount of crimes they committed.
"You assaulted my brother, stole his stuff, abused drugs, assaulted me, and kidnapped our brother." Huey stated. "That's about 5 times you guys committed a crime, and I'm not even counting my branding." Derek was upset. He realized that all the things they did were wrong, but his sadness turned into anger.
"You know what geek, I'll get you for this." Derek said angrily. Huey got up from the chair.
"Sure you will Derek, sure you will." Huey said sarcastically. Huey started walking away.
"Hey, where do you think you're going dork?" Derek said as Huey threw the chair in the lake. "I'm not finished with you yet nerd." Huey walked back over to Derek.
"But I'm finished with you!" Huey yelled. Derek was now scared. "You're a bully Derek, and I'm tired of always getting pushed around. SO HOW BOUT THIS TIME, INSTEAD OF BLAMING ME FOR WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU, YOU SHOULD REALIZE THAT YOU DESERVE THIS!" Huey became angry and Derek was afraid of this. Huey raised a fist up at Derek causing him to try and back up in fear. Huey then lowered his fist. "You're pathetic." Was all Huey could say to him before he walked away with his brothers.
"Where are you going nerd?" Derek asked. He could hear sirens in the distance. "I'm not done with you yet!" Derek yelled. The sirens began to come closer as Huey walked away. Jonas started to speak.
"It's over Derek, they won." Jonas said as Derek grew angrier than he's ever been in his life.
"It's not over, until I say it's over!" Derek yelled. Derek called out to Huey. "You're gonna pay for this nerd, I'll make sure of it! And your brothers are gonna be caught in the middle!" Just then, Dewey threw a snowball at Derek's face. Derek stopped speaking for a second.
"Goodbye scumbag." Huey muttered under his breath. Louie wrapped his arm around Huey as Derek continued to scream.
"Are you okay dude?" Louie asked as Huey smiled to himself.
"This is actually the greatest I've ever felt in a long time." Huey said as Derek shouted his name.
"Huey please don't go!" Derek yelled. Huey stopped for a second. "Please I'll be good, I promise. Just please don't let me go to jail." Huey turned around.
"You had your chance!" Huey yelled as he walked home. Derek was shocked, he is so used to people obeying him, but this time he didn't get what he wanted.
"Huey?!" Derek yelled as the police sirens were right behind him. He heard a car door close and footsteps also coming from behind him. "HUEY!" Was the last word Derek screamed before handcuffs were placed around his hands.
