5. Tony’s Hurt

Everyone residing in the admin hall was awake and standing in the hallway.
The Runt tried to squirm out of my hold as he cried. “Tony …Tony’s hurt. They beat him up.”
Tony lives in the basement. He has been my friend since before the world turned upside down. He isn’t very sociable these days, but he is very good at fixing and maintaining whatever we break.
I ordered the Runt to stay put in the admin hallway and grabbed some muscle. When I say muscle, I am referring to Matt and Jonas. The three of us ran toward the basement. The basement was a mess, and Tony was slumped against the far wall holding his stomach, bleeding from his head, and his left eye was swollen shut.
Tony confirmed it was Central Bobcats, Xavier’s Goons. I was not surprised.
