Chapter 3
The Incident
As soon as the initial punch connected with his face, Craig groaned as the power thrown into the punch caused him to collapse to his knees while Tyson stared with eyes widened in surprise as he, Clark, Matthew and Chris watched on from the sidelines! As Craig winced softly from the stinging pain he felt to his face, he gasped in silent surprise: as he noticed the several drops of red liquid dripping onto the floor and after bringing his right hand up to his bottom lip, stared at the tips of his fingers that were covered in his blood in shock...which soon turned into a heated glare as he swiftly glanced back to the young teenage girl who punched and charged in whilst letting out an angry cry, which slightly surprised the other four teenage boys.
Although...as soon the dirty blonde haired teenage boy picked himself up off the floor and blindfully charged in to land an equally powerful punch to Clem's face as payback for punching him...he failed to notice the sly smirk on her face: as she casually stepped to the side and tripped his right foot with her own, which caused him to lose his footing and cry out in surprise as he fell flat face and slid across the dirty tile floor! As soon as they saw it, Harris, Adams, Dante and even Tyson couldn't help but burst into laughter at the incredibly hilarious and embarrassing moment while Craig slowly picked himself up and growled while gritting his teeth in annoyance as he glanced up and saw the three teenage Resistance fighters and much to surprise/dismay, his own best friend laughing at him before turning back to Clementine.
"Have a nice trip?" The young African American teenage girl asked with sarcasm detected in her voice and smug grin on her face as she crossed her arms across her chest.
"You are fuckin' dead bitch!" The dirty haired blonde snarled through gritted teeth as he quickly picked himself off the ground the second time and attempted to throw another punch at Clementine's face...only to miss; due to her moving her head out the way again.
Shortly after she easily dodged the arrogant teenage boy's fist and swiftly evaded another punch aiming at her chest, Clem countered with a punch of her own to Craig's face that struck him right in his nose.
"Ahhh! Ohhh! You bitch! Ahhh!" Craig cried out while moaning in pain as he brought both hands up to his face as he felt blood trickling down his nostrils and top lip before he charged in again.
After he recovered and ignored the pain he felt to his nose, which he guessed was no doubtingly broken, Craig charged in once again while roaring out angrily and before Clementine could even react, grabbed and lifted her up by her waist and slammed her down onto the ground, much to Clark's and others deep surprise! As soon as he had tackled her down the ground and he was on top of her in the full mount position, the dirty blonde haired teenage boy automatically began to throw and land a number of punches to Clementine's head, which she attempted to block as she held both her arms up and forward to shield her face from Craig's unrelenting assault!
"C'mon Clem! Get outta there!" Chris cried out as he ordered the young teenage girl to break herself free from Craig's hold as he landed two swift blows that connected with the right side of her face!
"Gladly." Clementine muttered plainly as she successfully parried another blow to her face and swiftly countered with a punch of her own, that ironically connected once again with Craig's already bleeding nose!
"AHHH, FUCK!" The dirty haired blonde cried out while moaning/sobbing softy as he brought both hands to his face after Clementine's fist smashed into the ridge of his nose and as he slowly picked himself up while groaning/crying from the sharp pain to his face, Clem immediately took advantage of the situation and rolled them over: so she was now on top and Craig was laying helpless on the floor!
"You going to take back what you said, you ungrateful son of a bitch?" The young African American teenage girl demanded as she grabbed a hold of the collar of Craig's shirt and pulled him forward so they were face to face.
"...Go fuck yourself." The arrogant teenage boy answered acidly as he spat a small mouthful of blood onto Clem's face...which earned a rather dark look from the teenage girl herself.
"Have it your way, then." Clem answered plainly as she balled her right hand into a tight fist and proceeded to land a powerful fist to Craig's face, followed by another and another!
"This is for Bill!" The young African American teenage girl shouted as she landed another strong punch across Craig's face for insulting the gray haired boy.
"This...is for Sarah!" She swiftly added as she landed another punch across the arrogant blonde haired teenage boy's face for insulting the redhead, whom like a sister to her and Molly.
"And this...is for Lee!" Clem concluded as she landed one final punch across Craig's face for insulting her chalk leader and father, which rendered him unconscious as he laid sprawled out on the floor moaning softly in pain while she panted softly in exhaustion from each blow she landed and traded with the disrespectful teenage boy before she slowly picked herself.
"...Clem? Are you alright?" Clark softly asked as he, Matthew and Chris turned to each other with a concerned look on their face as they watched the young teenage girl slowly picking herself up from the ground...and noticed her shoulders quivering as she fought back the tears she wanted so badly to release.
"...I'm...I'm fine..." Clementine answered plainly as choked back a sob as she attempted to keep herself together.
"...Clem, it's okay. It's like Matt said...we're here for you." Harris stated softly as he placed a brotherly and comforting hand on the trembling teenage girl's shoulder, which helped sooth and anchor her as she quietly sobbed before turning to Clark and burying her head onto his shoulder as he held her close whilst Adams, Dante and Tyson watched the rather touching moment in silence before they glanced up...as they heard the sound of multiple foot steps echoing out and spotted Capt. Aguilar, John and his wife, Becca, Ivers, Burrows and Hoffman entering the hallway outside the gun range.
"Oh my God, Craig!" Carla cried out in dismay the moment she spotted her son laying unconscious on the ground and horrified in the state he was in now: as his face was bruised and bloody.
"Craig, baby! Are you alright?!" Becca cried out in equal dismay/horror the second she saw the state her boyfriend was in and rested his head on her lap.
"What has happened here?" Capt. Aguilar asked in a strict and commanding tone as he and the rest of the base had heard all the commotion from the mess hall and came running to investigate.
"Who did this? Who did this to my boy?" John yelled out as he demanded to know who had brutally beat up his older son as his wife knelt down and held Craig in her arms whilst Tyson, Clark, Matthew, Chris and Clementine stood where they were while glancing to the ground in silence.
"Who?!" Mrs. Andrews angrily asked after no one answered her husband question!
"...I did." Clem answered softly as she took a deep sigh before stepping forward as she admitted to beating up the arrogant dirty blonde teenage boy...much to Mr. and Mrs. Andrews great shock and disbelief.
"...You?" John softly asked as he and wife stared deeply stunned after hearing SSgt. Everett's teenage daughter admitting that she beaten up their older son!
"Why the fuckin' crazy..." Becca snarled as she glared hatefully at the African American teenage girl, who had brutally beaten up her boyfriend and walked forward while balling her left hand into a tight fist...before stopping in mid-walk: as Harris, Dante and Adams drew out the Beretta M9 handguns that they carried on right/left sides of their belts and aimed them directly at her!
"Finish that sentence...unless you want to end up like your loser boyfriend, bitch." Clark growled angrily as he, Matthew and Chris glared angrily at Craig's equally brazen and loud mouth girlfriend, which immediately shut her up and caused her to back off as she knelt back down to the ground to check on Craig.
"...Why Pvt. Everett? Why would you do something like this to Craig? Your father would be a..." John asked as he stepped towards Lee's teenage daughter as they looked at each other in the eye, demanding to know why she had brutally assaulted his oldest while claiming that Lee would be ashamed of her...until she had cut him off.
"Why don't you ask your dipshit son, Mr. Andrews? Seeing as how he had the nerve to insult my father and two friends!" Clem answered in a calm and collective voice as she bluntly explained to John and Clara why she had beat up their oldest son: as he had the audacity to insult Bill, Sarah and more importantly, Lee after they gave their lives to rescue them back in Baldwin Village!
"...What?" John asked as he and his wife turned to each other, deeply stunned after learning why Clementine had beat up Craig: as he had coldly insulted Lee's, Morris's and Parker's memory and their valiant sacrifice!
"The little bastard had the nerve to call my Staff Sergeant and two friends, whom I knew since Basic Training 'losers' and calling the rest of us 'idiot jarheads and suckers' for throwing our lives away for a 'lost cause'." Clark answered plainly and dryly as he revealed to Mr. and Mrs. Andrews how Craig coldly called Lee, Bill and Sarah 'losers' for sacrificing their lives so they could get them out of Los Angeles and the rest of them 'suckers' for even fighting against Skynet...much to John and his wife's complete shock/disbelief.
"Oh, really?" Capt. Aguilar asked in a calm yet angry voice as he, Ben, Frank and Ronnie slowly glanced and glared angrily at the unconscious dirty blonde haired teenage boy.
"...Craig said that?" Carla asked with a deeply stunned and horrified look on her face after hearing the extremely hurtful things her oldest son said.
"Just ask Tyson. He and Craig were arguing while Clark, Chris and I were checking on Clementine." Matthew stated while gesturing to Tyson, whom softly nodded his head in agreement.
"What Pvt. Everett, PFC. Harris and Cpl. Dante say is true Mrs. Andrews." Tyson replied as he confirmed what Clem, Clark and Matthew were telling truth before they glanced back to Craig, whom groaned softly as he slowly opened his eyes to see Becca cradling his head in her lap and his parents standing a few feet from them.
"Bec...Mom, Dad. This girl...she..." Craig stated softly as he was delighted to see his girlfriend and parents and was about to tell them about Clem how attacked him 'without warning'...before he was unexpectedly cut off.
"Shut up Craig." John angrily replied as he turned to his teenage son with an extremely angry glare on his face.
"D-Dad? W-What's wrong?" Craig weakly asked as he was deeply shocked/confused by the angry look in his father's face...and cried out in surprise: as he shoved Becca out of the way and pulled him up onto his knees by the collar of his shirt!
"What the Hell are you..?!" He angrily demanded before being interrupted once again and staring in great shock: as his father smacked him hard across his face!
"I said shut it, you little prick!" John angrily shouted once again as Clara and Tyson simply glanced away while Becca covered her mouth in shock/horror.
"...What the hell was that for?" Craig asked as he was deeply stunned at how hard his father had just smacked him across the face.
"Do not play stupid! You know exactly what that was for!" John angrily answered as he was deeply disgusted at Craig's pathetic attempt to playing 'innocent' and claiming that he knew the reason he had hit him the way he did...which immediately clicked in his head.
"...You and Mom know?" The dirty blonde haired teenager asked while gulping nervously while turning to his mother, whom had said nothing and simply looked at him with a deep look of disappointment on her face.
"Yeah...We know. And you owe these people, especially SSgt. Everett's daughter an apology." John answered with the glare still on his face while ordering his idiot son to apologize to Clementine for the hurtful/disrespectful he said about Bill, Sarah and more importantly, Lee.
"Not until she apologizes to me for beating me up and breaking my nose." Craig angrily sneered, stating that he would only apologize to Clem for the awful things he said only if she apologized for nearly beating him to death...much to his father's, Tyson's, Clark's, Chris's and Matthew's disgust: as he was trying to paint himself as the victim!
"...I can fix it." Clementine bluntly and sarcastically replied as she stepped forward and offered to 'fix' Craig's bleeding and broken nose...as she casually pinched the ridge, which caused him to cry out as he felt the young teenage girl tightly pressing her fingers on the sides of his nostrils and not so nicely twisting her fingers/hand back and forth while her captain and teammates couldn't help but smile and cross their arms across their chests: as they noticed the light smirk growing on Clem's face before she eventually released her hold of Craig's nose with the dirty blonde teenage boy panting/groaning softly from the unimaginable throbbing pain.
"Nah. I think it looked better the other way." Clem casually and sarcastically stated as she examined her handiwork and commented on how Craig's nose looked better 'the way before' before throwing her arm back and landing another well deserved punch to Craig's face: striking him in his nose once more and smiling as he cried out and collapsed to the floor while Harris, Adams, Dante, Ivers, Hoffman, Burrows and even Tyson couldn't help but laugh out loud at the young teenage girl's choice of words and sight of Mr. and Mrs. Andrews selfish and arrogant son laying sprawled out on the floor whilst Clara and Becca stared in deep shock!
"Alright, alright. Tone down the laughing, boys. This isn't stand up comedy." Capt. Aguilar stated professionally as he clapped his hands together, which immediately caused Clark and the other teenage boys to cease their laughing, even though he found the sight of witnessing Clementine punching Craig in the face after 'fixing' his already broken nose hilarious as well.
"Excuse me Captain?" Frank asked as he patted his commanding officer on his left shoulder, which earned his attention.
"What is it Pvt. Ivers?" Capt. Aguilar asked as he turned to face the dark haired blonde.
"Captain, with your permission...Pvt. Burrows, Cpl. Hoffman and I would like...five minutes alone with Mr. Andrews dipshit son." Ivers answered plainly as he informed his captain that he, Ben and Ronnie wished to have a 'private chat' with Craig for disrespecting their fallen friends/fellow Resistance fighters.
"Hmm...Permission granted." Capt. Aguilar answered as he took Ivers', Hoffman's and Burrows' request to heart and much to their delight...he approved their request.
"Thank you Captain." Ronnie stated with a soft grin on his face as he turned to Frank and Ben, whom had similar smiles on their faces and traded a soft chuckle...as they glanced back to Craig, whom continued to groan/hiss in discomfort from the intense pain he felt to his bleeding nose.
"What do you boys say we...give him a hand?" Frank asked with a casual smirk on his face as he turned to his friends, whom smiled darkly at the dirty blonde haired teenage boy.
"Gladly./With pleasure." Ben and Ronnie answered while chuckling softly, showing that they were more than 'happy' to 'help' Craig up as they picked him by his right and left arms.
"Ohhh...Ohhh, thanks fellas. I guess..." Craig muttered softly as thanked the two older teenage boys for helping him stand up...while failing to notice the looks of contempt on Hoffman's, Burrows' and Ivers' faces.
"Oh, don't thank us yet...jackass." Ben answered casually...as he and Ronnie traded a silent nod and tightened their hold on Craig's arms before they forcefully shoved him forward down the hallway.
"W-Wait! W-What's going on?! W-What are you stupid jerks doing?!" Craig exclaimed as he attempted to break himself from Hoffman's and Burrows' hold, but failed and cried out in surprise: as they both landed a strong kick to the back of his legs, causing him to drop to his knees...which made it much easier for them to drag him down the hallway with Ivers walking ahead of them.
"We're gonna take you to a rather special place, pal...where we usually deal with mouthy assholes who insult our friends like you." Frank answered bluntly and dryly as he informed Craig that he, Ben and Ronnie were taking him to a rather 'private area' of their base so the four of them could have a 'friendly chat'...much to his great shock and horror!
"No! Mom, Dad! Ty! Becca! Help me!" Craig yelled out as he continued to break/pull himself free from Ben's and Ronnie's hold on his arms and begged his parents, girlfriend and best friend to help him, but much to his horror/dismay...they did absolutely nothing: as his father and mother simply ignored his pleas and even though Becca wanted to help him, Ty held her back while shooting him an angry/hateful look.
"No! NO!" Craig screamed out as Frank opened the doors to the hallway leading to the gun range and walked on through with Ben and Ronnie dragging the screaming dirty blonde haired teenage boy right behind him and Burrows kicking the door behind them closed with the back of his foot.
"...Where are they taking him?" Becca softly asked as she eventually brought herself to speak and was curious to where Ivers, Burrows and Hoffman were taking her boyfriend.
"To the Gymnasium for a 'little chat'...and then he'll placed in the Cage." Capt. Aguilar answered plainly whilst Clem, Harris, Adams and Dante simply clicked their tongues and shook their heads as they could still hear Craig's screams before they started to fade.
"...Um, the Cage?" Tyson asked as he turned to Clark.
"Chris, Matt and I will explain later Tyson." The teenage brunette answered plainly as he informed Tyson that he, Dante and Adams would explain to him what 'the Cage' was at a much later time.
"By the way, are you completely sure that you want to join the Resistance? Because there's no chickening out." Matt immediately asked as he, Chris and Clark were curious if Tyson was serious about joining the fight against the Machines while warning him that he wouldn't be able to change his mind.
"Yeah. Yeah, I'm serious. Who do I talk to about signing up?" Tyson answered, showing that he was 100% sure about his choice and asked on who he was supposed to talk about enlisting.
"You'll want to talk to 1stSgt. Jackson, as he's the one in charge of enlistments. I can take you to his office right now if you want." Chris answered as he informed Tyson that he would need to speak to 1stSgt. Jackson, whom was the officer in charge of handling new recruits who wished to join the war effort and offered to show him the way to Jackson's office.
"Sure. Thanks." Tyson replied as he instinctively took Chris up on his offer and followed him as they walked down the same hallway as Ivers, Burrows, Hoffman and Craig while making a turn down a different corner.
"...Pvt. Everett? Clementine?" John softly asked as he finally managed to bring himself to speak, which immediately earned the young African American teenage girl's attention.
"...Yes, Mr. Andrews?" Clem asked softly...even though she had a rather good idea what he was about to say.
"...I'm so sorry for the awful things my son said about your father and two friends. He had no right to say those things." He answered truthfully as he humbly apologized to the young teenage girl for the extremely hurtful and disrespectful things had said as he insulted Bill, Sarah and Lee's honorable sacrifice.
"I'm sorry as well, dear." Clara softly added after her husband as she also apologized to Clementine for the hurtful things their oldest son said.
"...Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Andrews. I'm just sorry for what I..." Clementine stated softly as she deeply appreciated John and Clara's kind/humble words and attempted to apologize to them for the beating she gave Craig as well before she was cut off.
"Don't be...especially since Craig deserved it." John countered as he reassured Clem that she didn't need to feel bad or apologize for beating up Craig the way she did and plainly claimed on how he practically deserved to have his ass kicked.
"Heh...yeah, he certainly did." Clem replied with a soft smile as she strongly agreed with John on how his arrogant son indeed deserved the beating she gave him.
"...Pvt. Everett." Capt. Aguilar stated plainly while clearing his throat, which immediately earned her attention.
"Yes, Capt. Aguilar?" She softly asked...even though she instinctually knew what it was her base's commanding officer was about to say.
"Have PFC. Billings patch up your hand...and then come to my office in 10 minutes." Capt. Aguilar answered plainly and professionally as he instructed the young teenage girl to get herself to the infirmary so Janice could fix up her right hand, which was covered in Craig's blood and then ordered her to his office so they could speak in private about the fight between her and the arrogant blonde teenage boy.
"...Yes, sir." Clementine replied solemnly while nodding her head softly while sadly turning to Clark and Matthew; whom had similar expressions on their faces as they were both equally worried about how much trouble Clem was in.
