The ambulance had arrived and checked out Kurtis' mum, fortunately it was nowhere near as bad as he initially thought. The brick would've hit her in the face and caused a possible major head injury but luckily Geneva had reacted in time and put her arm in the way of her face to block the brick. However her arm was heavily broken and would take longer to heal than Kurtis'.
Geneva was taken to hospital to get treated, but not before calling the police and demanding them to check the cameras and find the culprits.
After the initial shock and desperation that had accompanied the act, Kurtis was now livid. He couldn't believe they had targeted his mum. He was a fool, he had completely forgotten that she would be going to work and return around this time. Because of his cowardice and reluctance to follow through with his word, his mum had gotten injured.
He could've easily lost his mum today and was thankful that the culprits had been in a rush to escape otherwise it could've been worse.
In addition o that, his house was now in an almost uninhabitable state. All the windows where smashed, the blue paint had been almost completely replaced by a gooey yellow and there were even eggs splattered on the inside of the house were the bricks had crashed through the windows.
It was a surprise to find that no one had thought to invade the house and steal as many things as they could.
After the ambulance had carried his mum off, Kurtis went into his room and picked up his phone. This time, determined to put an end to this, he messaged the group chat and openly challenged Joden to another fight.
Of course, as expected, they all laughed at and ridiculed him, wasting no time in pointing out that he had said the same thing about today only to not show up. They insisted that they had no wish to waste their time standing around and waiting.
However they were quickly silenced when Kurtis alerted them to the fact that they had all been caught on camera bricking and egging his house, even if they had been wearing masks, in their haste to get away they had all either forgotten or not bothered to bring the bags they had carried the bricks and eggs in. That the multiple bricks that had found their way into his house no doubt had their finger prints all over them. In particular the one that had been lobbed at his mum. All it would take is a short investigation before all the culprits would be caught and locked up.
Kurtis knew he was making a mistake, threatening them like this only to lose would be incorrigible. And yet he persisted on and very soon they had all come to an agreement to meet up once again at Braunsbury park, but not before he had made it abundantly clear that if they ever vandalised his house or attacked his mum again, he would waste no time in handing the evidence over to the police.
They had then insisted on a compromise, he would delete the camera footage and the evidence, but in exchange they had to let him have a fair one on one with Joden and cease their bullying immediately after. He gladly agreed.
Geneva was currently at the hospital and the police had yet to arrive meaning he was home alone. Exiting his room he went downstairs and approached the large and luxurious living room. He made his way past the navy blue and cream sofas, past the solid Canadian oak and glass coffee table and into the second half of the living room that was separated by glass foldable doors. Inside there was a solid ,and beautifully decorated in expensive white cloth ,Bubinga wooden table paired with white Loui Vuitton cushioned chairs. Kurtis walked on past it to the end of the room where to the left on the wall was a solid titanium door.
Once he had reached the door he put in the code near the handle and pushed it open. Inside was a square room approximately ten by ten square meters containing shelves and piles of he and his mum's most expensive and prized possessions, ranging from gold and diamond jewellery and expensive porcelain plates to piles upon piles of cash. It was a thief's wet dream, but that wasn't what he was here for.
At the back of the room were three large TV's. Each TV displayed 6 camera angles, recording the perimeter of the house as well as certain rooms inside the house including the safe room and the living room.
In front of the TV's was a single control panel which included a keyboard and three mouses connected to each TV. Kurtis picked up the second mouse that was connected to the middle TV which in turn was connected to the cameras outside. He reached under the control panel and grabbed one of the many blank disks on the shelf bellow.
Kurtis inserted the disk into a contraption under the middle TV, he then clicked on each camera angle and pressed a couple buttons and waited a while, After about 5 minutes the disk slid out from the TV. Kurtis took it and replaced it with another blank one then proceeded to move on to the First and third TV repeating the process.
Once he had finished he exited the safe chamber and returned to his room. He kept the First disk and crushed the the others. What he had done was record the events of the last six hours the camera's had caught, he had kept the ones which had captured the whole egging and bricking event and their culprits while disposing of the others.
That way he could tell his mum when the police inevitably checked the cameras and asked why they couldn't access the last six hours, that maybe the system had gone through a temporary break down.
Having grabbed his phone, he messaged the group chat about having destroyed the footage, sending pictures of the crushed recording disks as proof, then proceeded to dispose of them. He also told them that he had gotten rid of the bags of bricks and was hiring men to come fix and clean the house.
The last part was true, hired men would soon arrive to fix and clean the house, however, Kurtis had enjoyed the leverage he possessed over his tormentors and the sense of empowerment that had come with it, hence why he kept the recording of what had happened.
He wasn't dumb, he knew that regardless of their agreement they would jump him nonetheless and make the fight unfair, not to mention that their bullying would never stop.
He had made that agreement to give them a false sense of security and relief, he knew he was known as an honest, foolishly kind and harmless coward so had decided to use that to his advantage. Right now all he could think about was his rage and urge for revenge ,especially against Joden. This way, regardless of the outcome of the fight he would hand the footage in to the police ,they would all be forced to face the consequences and be arrested.
......
Later that evening, his mum returned with the police, her arm in a solid brown and white shoulder-arm cast. The police had taken the bags of bricks and eggs to examine later but were perplexed as to the lack of video footage from the cameras. His mum had approached with the expected question, her face was almost unhealthily pale and had only paled further when she realised the footage of everything that had happened was missing.
The colour of her face soon returned tenfold when Kurtis told her it must've been a system break down, she turned an almost dangerous red and was seething , then her fatigue hit her like a truck. After dismissing the police she promptly went to bed ,without saying another word to Kurtis.
