Lucas nodded. “Alright.”
He called in colleagues to file the official report.

All the children who had been hurt were taken to the hospital for examination, and the bullies, along with their parents, were summoned as well.
Kian’s injuries were the most numerous and severe.
Nina’s injuries were mostly just a scary-looking black eye.
She caught a glimpse of her black eye in a mirror.
Not entirely sure what she was seeing, she asked Benjamin for a mirror.
“Daddy, get mimo?” she asked, touching her eye gingerly.
Seeing her touch it, Benjamin paused. “Daddy doesn’t have a mirror.”
Nina ordered without hesitation, “Buy.”
“Alright. I’ll buy you one later,” Benjamin said, trying to brush it off.
She’s so picky about her little face.
If she sees it in a mirror, she’ll throw a huge fit.
“Nina, do you want to play with the boys?” he asked, deliberately handing her off to the older boys who had followed them to distract her.
Nina looked at them and immediately stretched out her arms. “Hold!”
Seeing her open arms, Lucien and Barry hesitated for a second.
Nelson, who followed Nina most closely, looked at her black eye, pressed his lips together, and stepped forward to try to pick her up, even though he knew he couldn’t.
Thankfully, Benjamin was sensible.
“You’re still too small. You can’t lift her,” he told Nelson plainly.
Then he looked down at Nina. “Nina, walk by yourself.”
Nina puffed out her cheeks.

She didn’t want to give in, but the truth was the boys really couldn’t carry her.
Reluctantly, she climbed down from Benjamin’s lap.
Once on the floor, she played with her brothers in the hospital corridor.
“Nina, does your eye hurt?” Lucien asked, looking at it and feeling worse the more he saw.
It had hurt when she was hit, but it didn’t now.
But since Lucien asked, Nina casually replied, “I hurt.”
Hearing she was still in pain, Lucien’s face fell immediately.
Barry was furious, too.
Nelson clenched his little fists.
The three boys were seething, but Nina herself had climbed onto a hallway chair and started playing.
Lucien told Barry and Nelson to watch Nina.
He walked off to where the adults were gathered to see how they were handling the situation.
The parents of the three bullies looked grim.
One father, Brennan Ward, wearing a black tank top, had a menacing look in his eyes.
“Look, don’t push it,” he snarled. “Kids roughhouse all the time, and you’re dragging us here just to milk us for money.
“Fine, since the cops are here, I’ll let you have this one.
“But don’t get greedy.
“And all this talk about ‘bullying’? Wanting a note in my kid’s record? I’d like to see any of you try.”
Brennan’s tone was full of malice.
But none of the gathered parents were intimidated. Jerry’s grandparents pointed at Brennan and shouted back, “You think it’s okay to hit Jerry? Let me tell you, we aren’t gonna let this slide!”
Even though Jerry had started listening to Nina and become her little follower, outside of

daycare, at home, Jerry was utterly spoiled by his parents and grandparents.
Among the hurt children, only Ryder’s family situation was a bit different.
But Nina’s and Jerry’s parents weren’t pushovers.
Brennan was getting an earful, but he still didn’t back down.
