"I won't go to jail for this!"
Dib sounded so sure of himself, so completely convinced that he wasn't going to get caught. In those few blissful seconds where his sister was too stunned to speak, all common sense was thrown out of his mind. All there was left was reckless instinct.
With shaking hands, he took his sisters shoulders. He was trying to be comforting, but it only made the situation worse.
"Let go of me Dib," Gaz whispered. "You… You need help."
He squeezed her shoulders in anger, "Help? Help? Just what kind of 'help' do you think I need Gaz? Not the kind you are thinking. No," Dib said hoarsely. "Listen to me…"
"I said let go!" Gaz screamed. She rammed her knee into her brothers' lower stomach, causing him to release his grip. Taking those few precious seconds, she bolted to the stairway with the intent of locking herself in her room.
But she underestimated her brother. While it has been several years since he had a good fight, his pain tolerance was still very high. Gazs' five second head start was useless against her brothers' speed. He ran up the stairs and grabbed at the back of her dress and pulled down with full force, and caused Gaz fell backwards into the arms of her brother. He immediately pushed her forwards onto the stairs. Without having time to catch herself, she hit her forehead on a step.
Still conscious, she rolled on her back moaning in pain. Dib cringed when he saw the bloody bruise on her forehead, now at a completely loss at what he should do with her. As horrible as she was during childhood, he never wanted to hurt her. He never before this day laid a violent hand against her. He was her big brother; he was supposed to protect her.
No, this was where he would draw the line.
Gaz struggled to sit up when Dib suddenly wrapped his arms around her. He didn't want the last memory of being with sister be one of senseless violence. The hug lasted only a moment, before he ran as quickly as he could out the house. He knew Gaz would call the police in a few minutes, and he knew he didn't have very many options left.
