"Umm, sir, I thought you said that you were going to take me home? This isn't time direction of the trailer park."

At this, the principal chuckled in amusement. "Little one, You don't live in the trailer park anymore."

"I don't understand. Were we kicked out?"

"No little one. Since your mother is my brother's future fiancé, you will be moving in with us." 

"But I thought that you said that he's already married..."

"Yes however, he's in the process of discussing having the marriage annulled by Geraldine's father."

"Do you think they will reach an arrangement?"

"If my brother didn't think that he could end his marriage with Geraldine then he would never have asked your mother to move in with us. As it turns out, we did find a loophole in the contract."

My eyes went wide when I saw the size of the house. Well, to be more accurate a mansion. I saw my mother standing in the doorway. "Where have you been? I thought I told you to come directly home after school?"

"I'm sorry mom. I had detention."

"What was it for this time?" My mother replies in irritation.

"I just missed the bell when I arrived, so my math teacher gave me detention."

"Now I'd have thought as the new principal you'd have been able to get her out of it? What happened brother?" Mr. Bendito replies glancing at his brother in disappointment. .

"It's not his fault. He told Mr. Lee that I wasn't to have detention. However, when Mr. Lee makes up his mind, nothing changes it. Not even those in authority. He's always been that way."

At this, my father to be chuckled in amusement. "It sound to me like you need to reel your staff in and teach them who's boss."

"Shhh. There's a special report on the news." My mom states.

"Police say they received a anonymous phone call saying that they heard gun fire at the local school. Upon inspection, they came across the mutilated body of one of the staff members. The victim remains in critical condition and they are unsure if he will recover. They are not revealing the victim's identity at this time."

"The police believe that this could have possibly been part of a gang initiation or a case of a loanshark beat down gone wrong. We will keep you updated as more information becomes available. If anyone has any idea about who is behind this terrible crime they are advised to call police immediately."

Antonio bendito POV

Upon hearing the news of the attack I frowned and glared at my brother. "My office now!" I demanded irritatedly closing and locking the door behind us. "Care to tell me what that was all about?"

My brother shrugged. "You heard the reporter, the police believe that it was either a gang initiation or a beat down gone wrong."

"So if I were to examine your brass knuckles and your gun I'd find nothing?" I demand skeptically.

"He deserved worse than what he received." My uncle grumbles.

"Then you admit to attacking him?" My uncle remained silent. "Daniel you can't go around attacking innocent citizens just because you felt disrespected."

At this, my Brother slammed his fist down upon my desk. "First of all, I didn't kill him. Secondly, he was far from innocent and if you must know, the beat down that he was given had nothing to do with disrespect."

"Then enlighten me, what did this human citizen do that you decided that they deserved to be beaten practically to death?"

"He was a convicted sex offender. He got a job working at the school by illegally faking his police records and because his sister was the principal. I'll tell you why I beat the crap out the little rat but I can assure you, you're not going to like what I tell you."

"Fine. Now, tell me what happened, from the beginning."

"I went to the school like planned. At first everything was going fine. Until I saw our little princess being bullied by some stuck up prissy teenage girls who think they are better then everyone else. I confronted them and then brought Catrina back to my office."

"There we proceeded to talk for a while. She informed me of her detention and I told her that I would deal with it. However, as she states Mr. Lee doesn't respect his superiors. He thinks that he's better then them and more deserving of their positions."

"Any how, I waited for Catrina to meet me at the car. As time went by I began to become concerned. So I sent the men to see if she had caught a bus home or had walked back to the trailer park. Then I remembered that she had mentioned that Mr. Lee wouldn't listen to the note I had written and that she would probably be in detention."

"As 3:30 rolled around and she still hasn't shown up I asked a teacher how long detentions usually last. After being told fifteen minutes to an hour and realizing that it was already going on an hour and a half I knew something was seriously wrong."

"Go on."

"I took a few men and we went to the classroom where I saw Catrina struggling to get out of Mr. Lee's lap. He seemed to be holding her tightly and he was kissing her neck."

At this, I let out a deep growl. "He was doing WHAT?"

"He seemed to be enjoying her attempts at struggling against his grasp. When we burst into the room he immediately shoved her onto the floor and then proceeded to proclaim that she was a hussy."

"That she tried to get him to change her grade in exchange for sexual favors. When questioned on how he expected me to believe that he showed me a website. On it were pictures of Catrina wearing very erotic outfits. He said the pictures should be more then enough proof to validate his statement."

At this, I could no longer contain my anger and I grabbed a nearby vase and threw it up against the wall. "I should have known she'd be like her mother. After all, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Thank you so much for telling me this. Now I can call off this wedding before I make another mistake of a lifetime."

"Do you honestly think that I would have beat the man to brink of death if a word of what he had said was true?"

"What are you getting at?"

"I arrived a few minutes before we broke into the classroom. I overheard him threatening her. He told her that she was going to go with him to his house whether she wanted to or not."

"He then indicated that upon arrival at his house he intended on forcing her to provide him with sexual gratification and that if she didn't please him she wouldn't like the consequences. He warned her that he'd ensure that she was expelled by using the pictures from his father's website."

"He promised her that if she cooperated and did as he asked that he would ensure that all of her grades became A+'s. He also informed her that he intended on ensuring that she was removed from her home by the state."

"That once in the system he'd ensure that he became her legal guardian. After which, he's return her to his father where she belongs and that when she reached the State legal age to be married he'd ensure that she married him."

"He told her that she was going to be bearing his children. He assured her, that in time, she would come to love him and call him Master. It was only after I witnessed the tears streaming down Catrina's face, and her hitting him in his chest in attempt to free herself from his grasp, that we entered the classroom. So now do you see why I beat the crap out of him?"

"Alright. I'll concede that he did indeed need to be taught a lesson. One more thing before you go, you didn't allow Catrina to witness any of what you did to him did you?"

"I hadn't planned on allowing her to see anything. I sent her to the car but unfortunately, she forgot her backpack and returned just in time to see me use my brass knuckles on the guy."

"Great. You've traumatized my daughter."

"Actually, she was intrigued by the knuckles and wanted to know what they were for. She thought that they were jewelry. I explained that they were not jewelry but a weapon used to punish bad people."

At this, I pinched the bridge of my nose "please tell me that you didn't allow her to watch you beat him up?"

"No." At this, I sighed in relief. "I did however, allow her to use them."

"You did WHAT? What were you thinking?! Were you out of your bloody mind?! Do you even once stop to think about how traumatizing that could possible be for her?"

"She's fine. In fact, she seems to have forgotten the whole thing even happened. She truly is pure and innocent. When I told her that he would never hurt her or anyone else ever again she looked at me as if to ensure that I was telling the truth."

"She then held her teddy tight and said she was glad because he was a bad man. She became excited when I told her that I was to be her uncle. So I wouldn't worry about her. She truly does have the spirit and innocence of a child."
