"Hey kid, I'm Max. Nice to meet you," said Max as she offered a hand to the girl who was laying on the ground, not being able to move.
"Yeah, nice to see you too." The girl relied on her hand, trying to get up.
"-Uah!" she shirked in great agony. She was unable to stand up due to her fractured leg. She had fallen again on the flood.
Max became worried seeing that.
"Are you okay, Kid? You don't look fine to me."
"Nah, I'm okay. It's just a little..."
Max swiftly approached her and slide her both hands in order to pick the girl up.
"What? What're you doing miss? Don't "
The girl cried out in astonishment. She wasn't expecting such behavior.
"Thanks to coming here, I certainly got to see this side of you. On second thought, are you only rude to me? I mean you behave well to Loki." Jack mocked her, standing a few steps back. He backed up after saying it.
"I guess, I don't like you. I hate you." Max said with a straight face.
"Oh! That hurts. How could you say that on a straight face?I mean I know that but Isn't it just cruel?" Jack replied while holding his chest, acting like he got hurt by Max's words.
"Miss, your boyfriend is kind of down." The girl interfered with the conversation.
"Huh? That hurts more." An imaginary arrow flew through Jack's heart.
"No, We're not in a relationship. Who wants to be with him anyway?" said max in a sarcastic way.
Max lifted the girl in her arms. She held her tightly.
"Don't say that the bartender almost fell for me," said Jack proudly.
Max got to see the girl's scars more closely as she held her. There were scars from a long ago and also from today. Both mixtures of them made the girl's body look pathetic. The blood vessels were quite visible. Only by looking, Max figured out that the girl must be starving for a long. She didn't have the energy to stand. Her left arm must be dislocated that's why she was holding it with her right hand. Not only she was in bad physical shape but also her mind is unstable. The first thing Max's mind came to was Why she was so badly tormented. But she didn't ask her because of not preying on others' personal life.
"So, that's the one who did this to you," Max said as she had known the culprit.
"No-o, I didn't" The man replied in a fearsome way. His forehead was sweaty as he faced Max.
"Jack, Grab him for me." Jack quickly held the man's collar and lifted it. Despite being quite bulky, he was raised in the air by Jack. His belly throbbed as he tried to free himself from Jack.
"Wait Mr. Why're you running away? If you didn't do that why would you run from here? Do you have any explanation?" Max intimated her logic.
"No-o, I-i was just heading to..." The man replied worryingly.
"What should I do with him?" Jack questioned.
"hmmm." After thinking for a long Max said.
"Okay, that should do it."

"Sir, what is he doing here," said the Junior police officer saw a man tied to an electric pole with a rope. His mouth was taped so he couldn't answer his query.
On his belly, something was written with a black marker.
"I'm a criminal. I abused a high school girl and tried to rape her. I beg you, arrest me."

"Do that really work? Max?"
"I think so."
