Josh: So what was Jennie so upset about?
Drake: Oh man. Some creep attacked her and raped her.
Josh: You're kidding! That's terrible.
Drake: I really want to beat this guy. Mom made me promise not to. She says the only thing it will get me is arrested
Josh: Well she's right. You don't want to be charged with assault.
Drake: But he deserves to get beat up. And Jen is too afraid to press charges that he's going to get away with it. I wont stand for this. I'm sorry but someone needs to let this guy know that he can't just go around doing stuff like this and get away with it.
Josh: So what are you going to do?
Drake: I've got to break my promise to Mom.
Josh: Well why isn't Jen going to press charges?
Drake: She says that he'll only go to prison for three to five years. She says she doesn't want to live the rest of her life in fear of him coming for revenge.
Josh: Revenge? He attacked her!
Drake: Revenge for putting him in prison to begin with.
Josh: Well I can understand where I'd be afraid of that too if I were her.
Drake: Yeah, but I can't let this guy get away with this. She's my girlfriend!
Josh: So you know who did it?
Drake: Yeah her friend from work's brother.
Josh: Well maybe if you reported him. He'd get in trouble anyway, right?
Drake: I don't think so. He'd get put on a list of sexual offenders, sure. But he wouldn't go to prison or anything. That would only happen if she pressed charges.
Josh: Wow. I don't know what to tell you Drake. I really don't.
Drake: Will you help me?
Josh: Help you? Help you beat this guy up?
Drake: Yeah. I met him once. He's a lot bigger than me. But the two of us together could take him.
Josh: Well...I don't feel good about you breaking your promise to Mom. Especially since we could get into major trouble. But I don't like what this guy did and you are my brother. I'm behind you.
Drake: Okay let's go.
(The boys grab their jackets and leave. A few minutes later they meet Paula's brother, Tom.)
Drake: Well Tom. I assume you know why we're here.
Tom: Um, not really?
Josh: We know what you did to Jennie.
Drake: My girlfriend.
Tom: Uh, really? She didn't happen to mention
Drake: Oh she mentioned what happened. And we aren't happy about it at all.
(Drake and Josh both start swinging.)
Tom: (Backing up.) Whoa. Look I get it. I was a jerk. I feel like a Neanderthal. I'm turning myself in.
Josh: How are we supposed to believe that? You just want us to back up.
(The boys continue to beat him up. He falls to the ground and Josh walks away.)
Drake: You see what happens when you mess with my girlfriend?
(A police officer walks up.)
Officer: Excuse me boys. Would someone like to explain to me what's going on here?
Tom: This guy beat me up!
Officer: Is that so, son?
Drake: Yes sir.
Officer: I'm going to have to arrest you for assault.
Drake: Yes sir.
(The officer takes Drake to the police station.)
