Chapter 2

Huey remembered the day of the meeting. He didn't tell his brothers what happened during lunch. He remembered everything as vividly as if he were there right now. He was in the bathroom. As he was washing his hands, he noticed someone standing in front of the exit. It was Derek. He was grinning evilly and he was alone. He walked up to Huey.

"Hey nerd, you gotta understand something." Derek said as Huey tried to ignore him. "Remember what I said would happen if you broke my rules?" Huey looked down at the ground trying to ignore his question. Derek then punched Huey in the stomach. "I said you would get 10 times worse!" Huey started to speak.

"Please Derek, I never told them anything." Huey tried to explain. "They just figured it out." Derek kneed Huey in the stomach. He was very angry.

"I'll forgive you, but only if you do one thing." Derek said. Huey was nervous.

"What?" Huey asked stuttering. Derek then grinned evilly.

"I want to see you cry!" Derek said as he pulled out a knuckle-duster. As Huey was about to continue his flashback, Louie got him back to reality.

"We have to go get him!" Louie said. Huey was confused.

"Get who?" Huey asked.

"Get Dewey of course!" Louie said angrily. "Are you even paying attention, come on!" Huey and Louie both ran out of the shop. They started running in the direction Dewey ran.

Dewey found the guys that beat him up. They were playing around with all of his stuff. He confronted them.

"Give me back my money and things, NOW!" Dewey demanded. Richard looked at him and laughed.

"Why should we charity case." Richard said as his friends started to laugh.

"Because it's not yours!" Dewey stated. "And its not right to take other people's..." he stopped as he noticed a used syringe next to Richard. Richard saw what Dewey was looking at.

"Oh this." Richard said pointing to the bag. "Yeah, this stuff is great. It helps us get stronger, all the athletes do it." He stood up and intimidated Dewey. "I think I should show you how much stronger I am because of it." He punched Dewey in the face. Dewey fell backwards and tried to get up. As he was getting up, Richard stepped on his leg, preventing him from standing up. Dewey screamed in pain.

"Aw what's the matter charity case." Richard said mocking Dewey. He stepped harder on Dewey's leg causing him to scream some more. Dewey struggled to try and get free, but it was no use. Richard picked Dewey up by his head while keeping his foot planted on his leg. He punched Dewey in the back multiple times. "I'm not stopping until I hear a crack!" Richard yelled as Webby showed up. She kicked Richard off of Dewey and then grabbed Dewey's things. She then threw a smoke bomb down, grabbed Dewey, and ran away.

Once they were at a safe distance away from the group of bullies, Webby put Dewey down. Webby examined his hurt leg. Dewey started speaking.

"Thanks for rescuing me." Dewey said

"It's what friends are for, right." Webby said looking at Dewey. Dewey stared back at Webby as she was putting a bandage around his leg. They looked at each other for a long time. They didn't know why they were looking at each other, they just knew that they didn't want to stop.

Huey began to continue his flashback as he was running. He remembered Derek punching him repeatedly in the stomach. He was crying in pain. Derek then threw him out of the bathroom and into the hallway. A girl was there watching the whole thing. Derek stared down at Huey.

"Apologies for breaking the rules!" Derek demanded. Huey saw the girl and soon became embarrassed because of her presence. He didn't want to say anything until Derek took his broken hand and started to squeeze it. Huey cried in pain. "APOLOGIES!" Huey finally gave in.

"I'm sorry sir, I shouldn't have broke the rules!" Huey said as he tried to pry Derek's hand off of his hand. Derek then let go of Huey's hand.

"Now kiss my hand!" Derek demanded. Huey's face grew even redder. The girl was still there and he was gonna kiss his tormentor's hand. Derek grabbed Huey. "I guess you need a little encouragement." Derek said as he moved Huey closer to the girl. "Kiss it!" Huey kissed his hand knowing that Derek would have broken his other hand if he didn't. Derek pushed Huey away and walked down the hallway.

As his flashback was about to continue, he and Louie found Dewey and Webby.

"Hey guys!" Louie said. Huey noticed Dewey's leg.

"What happened?" Huey asked. Dewey sighed.

"I got beat up again." Dewey said softly. Huey was now angry. He wanted to find and turn these bullies in no matter what.

"Dewey, where are they?" Huey asked. Dewey was about to tell him their location until Webby cut him off.

"We shouldn't be confronting them, we should be going home and getting Dewey's leg fixed!" Webby said as she picked up Dewey. "Call Launchpad, we need him to pick us up." Louie called Launchpad and Huey made a fist with his hand.

"They are gonna pay for this." Huey said to himself. When Launchpad got there, they got into the limo and drove home.

Richard, Jonas, and Jacob walked to the abandoned warehouse that they live in. They were stopped by a shadowy figure.

"Did you get anything?" The figure asked.

"Not yet, but we will." Jonas said. The figure then punched Jonas.

"That's what you said yesterday!" The figure yelled.

"Please Derek, we're sorry." Richard said apologetically. Derek then punched Richard in the stomach.

"What did I say about calling me Derek!" Derek shouted.

"You said to only call you boss or sir." Richard said. Derek then pointed down at his foot. Richard instinctively knew what this meant as he kissed his foot.

"Good, you know who's in charge." Derek said evilly grinning.
