A Child's Hand
Chapter 5: Strong
One day, Quinn and Santana were at the park with Liza Marie. When Santana noticed, a boy like Kurt was being teased by ten other boys. Before she could save the boy, Liza Marie was body-slamming one of the boys and knocking two more boys out in the process. The other seven boys run away after she growls at them. Then, Quinn says, "Those boys' dads won't believe that a six-year-old little girl just attacked them."
Soon a big burly man comes to them holding one of the boys that ran away and says, "I'm Ester's son Mark and this is my son Eric. I warned my son about hanging with those boys, but he didn't listen to me. Ha, I was watching the boys too and was about to stop them myself. Then I saw her, and let's just say you might see a video on Facebook of her body slamming that little jerk. Ha, I'm friends with the guy's in Puck's unit and her grandpa Burt saw the video already. I wish Puck could have seen it. Well, I got to get going. I have to take mom to court to testify against the guys that attacked her."
Then Quinn says, "Puck is already there with Mr. Hummel. He has to testify too. I'll see you there." Mark smirks before leaving, and Quinn whispers, "Let's go. I can't wait to see Puck or you testify." Soon they were in the courtroom, and when Noah gave his testimony. Jason Rockford, the guy that attacked Ester, was constantly interrupting him and acting out. Noah just kept his cool the whole time and growled at Jason as he went back to his seat. It took the jury thirty minutes to deliberate, and Jason was found guilty.
Later that afternoon, Noah and Liza Marie were in the backyard working out together. When the others noticed, Liza Marie was using a broken broomstick like a fencing sword as Noah used his cane as they were fighting against each other. Plus, they noticed Liza Marie had a blindfold on. Soon they're moving so fast that you could barely tell they had anything in their hands, and Liza Marie was yelling, "Hiya!" repeatedly every time Noah's cane hit her stick.
Noah took the blindfold off Liza Marie just before she lifted him over her head as he counted to one hundred. When she put him down, Noah heard someone whisper, "Holy shit." But it was too low to tell if it was a male or female. Then, Noah smirks after he hears someone running away.
A month later, Noah was alone outside with his rifle. After someone had been waking them up at night, setting off his security system five times a night. Whoever it was, they were also harassing his neighbors, too. In fact, his neighbors were being harassed more, and the cops couldn't do anything about it. Because whoever it was would disable the security systems and wear masks when they tried to disable Noah's security system.
Then one night they got careless and didn't put on their masks. Burt recognized the boys as the sons of Puck's friends on the hockey team and immediately contacted the police. But they did nothing even after they saw the tapes for themselves.
A week later, Noah had an electric fence put up. He knew it could be disabled, but still had it put up, and that night he heard several men scream before he heard the security system go off. Then Burt went outside and saw five guys in masks passed out on the ground.
As soon as the police came to arrest the boys, they saw Noah standing outside with his arms crossed. Then he says, "I'm getting really tired of doing your job for you. First, you were late saving me and my friends from Z. Then he escapes raping Santana and I had to save her. And then these assholes start harassing us, and you just set on your asses. Meanwhile, I'm doing your job for you and doing a better job at it."
Then one of the policemen whispers, "Yea, right. But we're not the one that got shot in the head and went blind. Are we? Asshole!" Before, Noah was about to lunge at the guy, only to be held back by Burt and Santana.
Soon, Sergeant Young says, "You're right, Mr. Puckerman. You have been doing a better job protecting your friends and this neighborhood for that matter. But like us, you can't be in two places at once, and you can't do this alone." Then the police leave after Burt and Santana say, "He's not alone."
A couple of days later, Ester's grandson Eric was storming into the house yelling, "Hurry, there are masked men at Nana's beating up my dad and Nana!" Burt and Noah didn't have to be told twice. Then Quinn says, "Mr. H, stay here. Santana get Puck's gear. I want to show the police Puck can do it on his own. They don't have to know Puck's helmet has a goddamn camera in it."
As soon as Noah had his gear on, he was storming into Ester's house. Liza Marie was the one telling him where Ester and Matt were. Before Noah started shooting their attackers in the chest. When it was over, Matt says, "Puck, are you crazy? Those guys were part of the Marco Gambini family! They have been paying off the police since Kurt's mom was murdered!"
Burt storms into the house and grabs Matt by his shirt before yelling, "My first wife died of cancer! She wasn't murdered! Kurt was! Why would you say Elizabeth was murdered?!" Before Burt could get an answer, Noah grabs him and says, "Mr. H, you need to calm down. Liza Marie doesn't need to lose one more family member."
Thirty minutes later, FBI Agents are sitting in Noah's room with the monitors that were connected to his surveillance cameras and helmet. Then, Agent George Reynolds looks at Liza Marie as he says, "Marco knows about the things Mr. Puckerman did. He hired Jason Rockford. We have been trying to put that family away for years, but we suspect that they are paying off the police."
Then he looks at Noah as he says, "I'm friends with General Stacie Smith, and she warned me that you tend to go rogue a lot. Ha, she wasn't surprised to find out you are blind now. She's also read about you in the newspaper and thinks you are the perfect person to take down Marco."
Liza Marie says, "Won't the Mob men know Daddy is working with you when they see a van or car that isn't normally in this neighborhood? Do you know if they know about me? I might be stronger than other kids, but I'm not bulletproof, and I don't have gear like you or Daddy! Nor do mommy Queenie or Auntie Tana!"
Agent Reynolds had to chuckle at this and says, "I saw your mother's video of the fight with Mr. Adams. I wonder if your new daddy has felt the scars on your arm. Or if he knows about you helping him fight Mr. Adams." Then Liza Marie takes off her long sleeve shirt and puts Noah's hands on her arm and chest.
The scar on her chest shocked him the most. He was about to ask Quinn about the heart donor, when Liza Marie says, "It was Aunt Beth's daughter Norah she was shot last. You were trying to get the gun away from Z after she was shot. Mama Queenie told me not to tell you." Noah puts his ear to Liza Marie's chest and breaks down as Agent Reynolds leaves.
