Chapter 13 Justice

The boys all sat eager waiting to be reunited with their families at the police station. All of them had dreamed of this day for many months. They still haven't had a chance to wash the brine completely off of them but they still washed up in the sink as much as they could. Ralph sat thinking about if he should tell the police about what had happened on the island and how Piggy and Simon got killed or not. After a series of thoughts ran through his mind and the dark past of the days of the island ran through his body, he decided that he would. Ralph would never be able to hold his head up with dignity knowing that murder had been committed and nothing was even done. “We all know that Piggy and Simon died and I can't just sit here and let their parents and the people who love them believe that they just disappeared. We all have to turn ourselves in.” “Sucks to Piggy and Simon, we shall never speak of them. I want to go home and I am not about to go to jail because you feel bad about our bloody little friends.” All of the boys nodded their heads as if they agreed with what Jack said. “Well I'm going to tell no matter if you guys like it or not. If this is not brought to justice we shall all rot in hell.” “No, you will not tell. Just because we are not on the island anymore doesn't mean I can't still hunt you down and do you next. That's what shall happen if you go and blab your mouth about stuff that needs to be kept between only us.” “Then you will kill me but at least I will die knowing that I even gave an effort to let people know about what happened. I tell you justice will be served and if you don't like it then oh well”. The boys all had stunned looks on their faces and Ralph could tell that they were terrified at the thought of going to jail. The littluns still had a long life ahead of them and thought of Ralph as being selfish and only wanting to tell because he felt guilty about what had happened. “Do what you wish,” said Jack. “But none of us will admit to it we shall all deny it. We will tell the police that while we were on the island you started to go crazy and started thinking stuff like that was happening but it didn't.” Without taking anymore time to think, Ralph got up and started walking towards the fat police man. He had been sitting down lazily looking like he was day dreaming about the next donut he would be able to eat. Once Ralph got to his destination, the police man was broken from his gaze and asked, “Can I help you with something”. “Yes, well you had asked earlier how those boys died and we said that they just disappeared and we couldn’t find them”. “Yes I reckon that is what happened. Do you have any other information on their deaths?” “Well that wasn't the entire truth. See there was a lot of stuff that happened on island and we started off all together we had a little civilization. Then we started to have problems and ended up splitting up because I was the leader and people didn't like how I lead the group. Jack, the boy with the dark hair, was the leader of the other group. To make a long story short, we all accidentally killed Simon because we thought that he was some type of beastie coming out of the dark. Piggy was killed by Jack and all of the people in his group because one of them threw a big rock at him and it hit him in the head”. “Hold on, so why would that boy kill the other boy you call Piggy?” “Because Jack doesn’t like him I guess. I don't know but Jack is evil and he would do things like that.” “Are you sure that really happened and you just maybe aren't in shock right now? After all, it was a long time being away from home.” “If you're trying to say that I am crazy, that’s not it. I know what happened and justice needs to be brought for Piggy and Simon. They were good boys that didn't deserve to die. Jack and all of his boys need to be put behind bars.” “Alright I don’t think I’m qualified for this. I usually just sit here and make sure everything is going alright. Here let me call some one else.” The officer quickly sat up and began dialing numbers with his chubby fingers. “You do believe me right”. The police man raised up his fat pointer finger to indicate that Ralph should hold on. With the phone to his ear, the police man waited for some one to answer. “Hi I have information on a possible murder and I thought that you should take over from here. O.k., alright, that sounds good. Bye,” says the police man to the other man on the phone. “What did he say”, asked Ralph eagerly. “He said that he will be here as soon as he can”. After a few minutes passed bye, a short kind of fare sized lady busted into the police station. She had her hair pulled into a tight bun and was wearing a florescent long dress. “Where is my sweet nephew Yugine? They said that I could find him here.” “Follow me”, said the police man. He wobbled to where all the boys had been sitting. “Alright which one of you’s is named Yugine” “He’s not here”, said the lady with a sadness to her voice”. “Do any of you boys remember a boy with you named Yugine?” “No. Did he have a nick name,” asked Jack. “Yes he did have a nick name. It was something I remember him telling me that he hated.” “Piggy, said one of the littluns with sorrow in their voice.” “Yah that was it”. Remembering what Ralph had told him, the police man pulled the lady to the side and explained to her that Piggy was among the couple that had died. The lady fell to her knees and began letting out loud cries. The police man stood there embarrassed and not knowing if he should try and comfort her or leave her alone. The boys watched this commotion from a distance and while most of them felt sorry, Jack was sitting there trying to hold in his sniggers. Ralph could see everything that was going on and wanted to kill Jack for what he did to Piggy and Simon and their poor parents. Once the lady calmed down and raised from the floor, the police man said that they have to investigate his death and that they are not sure how he died. “What do you mean you aren’t sure? Well what are the possibilities,” said the lady. “At this point, there is a possibility of murder but there is no more information” “I know that you’d better find out how my nephew died” “We will do the best we can ma’am. I think for as of now you should go home and let us do some further investigation. I will make sure that you are notified about everything we figure out. I understand how hard this has to be for you. “Alright then, I guess I’ll be going” The lady, still weeping, walked out of the police station. The police officer walked back to his desk and Ralph got up and stormed to where the other boys were sitting. “Do you see what you have done”, says Ralph yelling at Jack. “I sure do. I did that lady a favor. She doesn’t see it now but she will soon realize how much of a pain in the butt Piggy was to her”. “You are evil and that is all that you will ever be. This will come back on you. I know it, you will die the most painful death. That’s if you’re not rotting in prison for the rest of your life. I was going to hit you but then I realized that that would have made me no different than you and I would never want that.” “Oh so now I’m such an evil person. You joined the dance. You helped kill Simon. You stabbed one of my men. The thing you haven’t realized yet is you are just like me and if I die a painful death then so will you. If I rot in prison so will you”
