After having dinner together, Scott and Gabriel stop by Bruce's clinic to admire the inside of Scott's future business.
Once inside, Scott fantasizes about his future while Gabriel hypes him up.
"I'll be right back," Scott said and went into the surgical room to call Theo.
Theo's phone took Scott to voicemail.
"Hey, Theo. I haven't heard from you or the pack in a while. I have some great news to tell you and I was hoping to see how you are and if you need any help. Call me back." He hung up and stared at Theo's name in his contacts, worried for his new friend.
"Scott!" Gabriel yelled from the entrance.
Scott ran to the front and saw four cars parked around the Jeep, in front of the clinic, making a barricade. "Stay inside," Scott told Gabriel.
"No," Gabriel argued. "They won't hit me. If I go out there with you, they'll have to fight me too, but they know better than to do that."
Scott nodded and they went outside.
The Hunters all sighed and swore when they saw Gabriel.
"Go home, Gabriel!" One of the Hunters demanded.
"I'm not going to let you hurt my friend," Gabriel said.
"Your Abuela told us to do this, kid." Another Hunter pointed out.
Gabriel clenched his fists and yelled, "I don't care who told you to do what! If you're so worried about being caught in a lie, just beat each other up and say you succeeded in beating Scott."
The Hunters all looked around at each other, not knowing how to respond.
Eddy, to Gabriel's right, rushed Gabriel and wrapped up his arms.
Gabriel struggled to free himself, but couldn't. "Damn you, Eddy! Tu pedazo de mierda!"
The other Hunters charged Scott.
Scott fought well for a moment, but soon they overpowered him in numbers; seven against one.
They soon had him on the ground, kicking and stomping away at him.
Gabriel swung his head back, head-butting Eddy.
Eddy threw Gabriel to the ground, grabbed him up by the collar of his shirt, and punched him across the face.
Scott heard this and turned into a wolf. He mocked a biting attack against one of the Hunter's legs.
"He's biting me!" The Hunter fell to the ground, trying to get away from the attack. He lifted his pants leg and saw no bite mark.
Scott growled at the Hunters, as they thought about their next move.
One of them pointed out, "If we do attack him…he'll surely bite us."
"The greatest weapon against Hunters," Eddy said.
They got back into their vehicles, slowly, and then, hastily drove away.
Scott turned back to normal and put his clothes back on as Gabriel approached him.
"You good?" Gabriel asked.
Scott said, "Yeah. How are you?"
"Meh. I've been punched in the face before."
The two chuckled.
Scott, now with all his clothes on, faced Gabriel. "Oh yeah," he looked at Gabriel's eye, "that's gonna be a shiner."
Gabriel smirked. "Good. It'll give me something to show Abuela tomorrow night at dinner."
"Think you can get them called off of me?"
"No sweat."
That night, at a local casual dining restaurant; Gabriel came inside and the moment Araya saw him, she immediately jumped from her chair at the table.
"Mi nino!" Araya rushed to Gabriel and looked at his black eye. "Why didn't you tell me you looked like this? We could have gone somewhere else."
Gabriel chuckled. "Are you not worried about me? Just about how I look?"
Araya gently slapped his arm. "You know what I mean."
Gabriel continued to smile at his Abuela.
"Who did this to you?"
Gabriel stopped smiling, and said stoically, "Eddy."
Araya became infuriated. "Why?"
"Because I was defending Scott from the rest of your boys."
"Oh, really?" She let go of Gabriel's face and pretended to be innocent.
"Yes, really," Gabriel said as Araya sat back down. "In fact," Gabriel took his seat, "I was hoping you could tell me why exactly they were attacking my friend."
Looking at the menu, Araya answered, "Aaahh, I wouldn't know. Sometimes, young men such as them, just need to blow off some steam." She looked to Gabriel. "Rather Scott than some young woman or girl, right?"
Gabriel became stern with her. "Stop it. I know they don't do ANYTHING without your say-so."
"What makes you think I would have them attack a mutual friend of ours?"
Gabriel, with some teenage attitude in his facial features, shrugged. "I was hoping you would tell me."
Araya chuckled. "The answer is: I wouldn't."
"Then why did it happen?"
Araya went back to looking at her menu. "As I said, 'I don't know'. However, if you would like for me to punish them…I will."
"Yes, please; and…make sure they never attack Scott again. This was, in fact, the third time."
Araya looked at Gabriel as the waiter approached and said with a false smile, "Done."
Acosta stopped at a stop sign, on his way home, at a four way stop.
He drove ahead and the truck to his left sped up and smashed into his car.
After the initial shock, Acosta saw the two masked and hooded figures in the truck come to, and he immediately grabbed his radio.
"Acosta to Dispatch. I've just been rammed into by a truck occupied by two masked individuals. The driver is wearing the Brandon James mask and the passenger is wearing a similar mask."
The lady at dispatch radioed back, "Are you hurt?"
Before Acosta could answer, his window was shattered by a crowbar and he was pulled out through it.
Father Death hit Acosta's head with the crowbar, knocking him unconscious.
Dispatch called Acosta's name through the radio three times, before calling the nearest officer to Acosta's path home to search for Acosta and the two masked individuals. She then told another officer to see if Noah was still in his cell.
The two killers tied a rope around Acosta's neck and put the other end of the rope on the trailer ball.
The directed officer saw Noah still in his cell and radioed it in to dispatch.
Father Death drove the truck down Acosta's neighborhood, swerving around, sending him into signs and parked cars.
The two killers abandoned the unlicensed truck after they got their fill of carnage.
Acosta was found with his limbs broke, deep gashes in both thighs, splintered glass in different parts of his skin, the skin on his rear, lower back, and the back of his thighs shredded, and multiple bruises and lacerations around his body.
