Return of the King

Of course Bit's Aunt Marianna and Uncle Norris were more than happy to take her in. Because they knew how their nephew felt about what happened to him, they were often concerned about both him and Leena in matters like this. Besides, they hated people who took whatever they wanted like that.

When Harry got to the house, he only found Naomi. After learning Leena had fled, he turned violent on Naomi. But she was prepared for something like this. At Harry's first charge, she kicked him square in the stomach.

"I'll never tell you where Leena is, so just shut up," stated Naomi.

Angered by this incident, Harry began to search out Leena with even more desire. His spies had told him of a duo of boys with her and Naomi at the park, and he'd seethed. How dare some common boy try to steal his girl.

Meanwhile, Leena kept out of site except to go to work. She got a ride to work with Bit's aunt, and came home in a roundabout fashion. First, she'd go hide out for some time with Naomi—whose home was closest. Next, she went to a certain hang out spot, where Bit would meet her. Finally, they'd walk home together and make it in before dinner. This was just in case Harry saw her. He already knew about Naomi, so he probably wouldn't be in that neighborhood for a second time, and the club was to "below him" to enter.

But she knew it was only a matter of time before he found her. And one day, it happened. While at her job waiting tables in a diner, Harry walked in with some of his thugs. Many of the patrons stopped eating to look at what was going on. He came closer to Leena, with a devilish smile in his eyes.

"Leena my dear," smirked Harry, "You're coming with me this instant. We're going back home together, and preparing for our wedding." He grabbed onto her wrist.

Leena screamed, "No, get away from me." She fought to break free of his grip.

Suddenly, Bit came into the diner. He saw the thugs, and began grappling with them. "Leena…," he called, "I'll protect you."

Harry's face drained of color. "You'll never take Leena from me. She's mine, always has been and always will be."

Bit walked up towards Harry and punched him square in the nose. He yelled, "Get a life creep. All you do is hurt her both physically and mentally. She deserves better than you. Leena, run away while I take care of him."

At once, Bit grabbed Harry's arm, and released Leena. He then knocked Harry to the floor, giving Leena time to run. "I don't care what happens to me," exclaimed Bit, "Just as long as Leena is safe." Suddenly, he saw someone familiar out of the corner of his eye…

* * *

When Leena arrived home early, Marianna was concerned. The poor girl was crying so hard, that you couldn't hear what she was saying. Marianna gave her a tissue and instructed her to blow her nose. "There my dear, it's going to be ok. Now tell me what happened," she said.

So Leena told her what happened. By the end of her story, Leena was crying again. Marianna instantly, called the police in order to find her nephew and stop Harry's rampage.

A few hours later, the bell rang. When Marianna answered it, she saw an officer standing in the doorway. His hair was blue/black, and his eyes were gray. Right by his side was Bit.

Marianna burst into tears of joy. After embracing her nephew for a few minutes, she allowed him to go look for his girlfriend.

The officer saluted her. "Greetings, my name is Jack Sisco. We found your nephew prisoner at the Champ estate. After we ran into it, we rescued him, and arrested both the Champ siblings."

* * *

"I can't believe you're ok," sobbed Leena. She was in her room holding onto Bit's shirt. Ever since Marianna'd called the cops, she had been worrying. Now, she just wanted to be with him.

"Both the monsters are in prison now, awaiting trial," replied Bit, "I'm grateful for Officer Sisco and his companions for saving me."

Leena looked mystified. "Both monsters?"

Bit answered, "Harry and his sister Mary. I want to know…while at Harry's did you ever hear screams from somewhere in the mansion?"

"Yes, but what does that have to do with anything?" questioned Leena.

"The screams…were mine," admitted Bit, "Harry's sister Mary was my old girlfriend. When I was in the diner, Mary came in looking for her brother. When she saw us fighting, she immediately ordered the men to capture me after Harry weakened me in the fight. Then, she attempted to make me hers again."

"This will be a difficult case to prosecute. The Champs have been caught before, and their money always saves their sorry hides," responded Jack.

Marianna asked, "Then what can we do?"

"There's always a first time for everything," stated Jack, "Besides, this time we've got plenty of witnesses to what happened in the diner. Can you call them down here?"

So Bit and Leena abandoned their reunion to talk with Jack. They began organizing all the facts about the case. Jack agreed to help them get a lawyer, since they were short on cash. Then, Leena called up Naomi—who had taken several pictures of Leena after she arrived at her house.

In a few days, they had prepared their case. With all of the witnesses found, pictures organized, and evidence shown, they all knew they had a fighting chance.

The case begins next time. Can Bit and Leena send the Champs up the river? Or will they be forced to escape to Tahiti?
