James kicked Roddy’s stomach, while his gang laughed behind him. Roddy wished Joe could save him from his bullies. He felt dizzy, but when he looks at the corner he caught a glimpse of Joe and the muscular men running towards them.

“Today, I will teach you a big lesson,” James laughed.

The three muscular men grabbed James and the rest of the gang, but one of James’ henchmen ran away: Joe chased after him. James tried to fight back but they held him tightly.

“Who are you?” James hissed in rage.

“Shut up. Check if Roddy is okay,” one short muscular man instructed.

After Joe caught the bully that ran away, he tried to make Roddy sit upright. Roddy coughed up blood on his shirt, and then Joe poured water on his mouth.

“Are you okay, dude?” he asked, cautiously.

Roddy tried to open his eyes but he was weak and in agony. He spat blood from his mouth on the ground and Joe knelt down, rubbing his back. Roddy drank water from a small bottle.

The muscular men smacked James and his gang members. They tried to run away but they were defenseless, the men held them too tightly for them to fight back.

“Let us go,” James begged.

“No. You’ve been terrorizing Roddy for too long,” Joe stood up to face James.

“I am sorry. We won’t do it again.” James pleaded, sorrowfully.

“What if you don’t stop?” Joe shouted.

” A bully never changes just like a leopard never changes its spots,” one of Joe’s friends said.

“Please, we are sorry. I will do anything,” James wiped his tears.

The muscular men kept hitting Joe with his fist. Joe had sympathy and stopped him. James thought they were free but Joe motioned him to stand still.

“Give Roddy everything that you stole!” Joe shouted.

James nodded in fear while the muscular men released his gang of bullies.

“Don’t ever bully anyone again” Joe looked at him seriously.

“We promise not to,” James said, softly.

Joe let them go and checked on Roddy, who was staring at them in amazement. James and his gang never bullied Roddy ever again. Roddy went to a martial arts school to learn how to defend himself. Roddy’s parents never knew what happened to their son, only Sophia knew. Roddy had advised her to keep quiet: it was over and it won’t happen again.

Joe became best friends with Roddy. This horrible incident made them closer.
