walk away.
“Where do you think you’re going, you’ll leave when I say you
can,” announced the leader, raising a few sniggers from his gang.
“Oh I’m sorry,” replied Saki. “Do you want my help afterall ?”
The leader of the Neds raised his eyes
to the heavens, a real showman
. “Jesus old man, tell us exactly how you think you can help us?”
he taunted.
“I thought I would help you by giving you some options.” Saki was
about to be interrupted by one of the Neds but the
leader raised his hand, he wanted to hear this. If nothing else, it should make
a good story.
Saki continued.
“Option one, this is the best one and I highly recommend it. You
walk away and everybody’s fine. Option two, you annoy me more than you have
already and I beat on you until the twenty policemen currently surrounding us
rescue you. Or, option three, I cannot iterate enough how much I would
recommend against this one, you try to attack the children I’m looking after
and even the twenty policemen won’t rescue you from that one.”
The Ned leader had been laughing until option two and the mention
of the twenty policemen. Like the rest of his gang, he had instantly looked
around. He couldn’t see any, there were plenty of people milling around but no
coppers that he recognised.
“Old man, the best thing you can do for your kids is call an ambulance. Nobody beats up my gang in my town.”
The leader lifted his arm to push past Saki. He had been warned
that option three was not a good option.
Saki had recognised the boy when he had arrived, he and his gang
had been terrorising the neighbourhood for a couple of years, always managing
to evade the police. It was time they were taught a lesson.
Saki didn’t move, the leader pushed with more force and still
Saki would not move. He wasn’t going to assault the Ned in front of twenty
policemen, not until he had self defence as his
justification.
The Ned lost his temper and threw a punch, quickly followed by a
barrage from his gang. However, Saki had already moved and had delivered his
own barrage of punches. His fists moved so quickly that the Neds didn’t stand a chance. One after the other, they fell as Saki waded through
them, leaving the leader to last. The police were still running towards them as
Saki faced the bewildered leader surrounded by his gang writhing and crying
around him.
“Who the f*** are you?” the leader asked, still stunned by what
he had just seen.
“Payback,” he replied before sweeping the Ned’s legs from under
him. The Ned flew up in the air and crashed down onto the concrete landing on
his coccyx, the crunch echoed across the car park. Saki knew exactly what he
was doing, the pain would last for years and at least now the swagger would be
natural.
The police arrived, only 20 seconds after the first punch,
quietly congratulating Saki before carting off the Neds whom they arrested for numerous charges, including breach of the peace and
attempted assault. The haul of weapons found on the gang led to a number of
greater charges, including an attempted murder charge against the leader when
his knife was linked to a near fatal stabbing two days earlier.

As the commotion was ending outside, the game was heating up
inside. As usual, it was the boys against the girls and the girls were beating
them. On top of Lela’s near perfect strikes, one of her friends had a bizarre technique which involved dropping the bowl at her feet and
letting it trickle down the alley before scoring a strike. One occurrence would
have been a fluke but she was consistent, scoring a strike with nearly every
“drop.” Tom threw his second bowl.
“Spare! Yes!”
He had just managed to keep the boys in the game and unable to
watch the next drop strike, he excused himself and headed to the toilets.
As he entered the toilets, he noticed two Neds follow quickly behind. They had been playing the arcade machines and had missed
the action outside with
