[ WP ] A group of muggers follow someone into an alleyway . Unfortunately it 's the worst person they could have chosen ...

They were still all so young, that's what I remember. 
 
 Their hoods up, scarves over their faces, their little peepers spying me down this grim cul-de-sac. 
 
 So sweet in their attempt to stick a knife in my gut. 
 
 `` Come now, what would your mothers think?'' I smile at the leader of this little gang. 
 
 As far as they were concerned I was trapped prey, but those children were not hunters. 
 
 They became scrappy, as is natural, I suppose. Boys will be boys. Feisty. 
 
 I peer over my half moon spectacles, `` It's James is n't it, Jimmy?'' I question. 
 
 `` Fuck off you old perv, give us your wallet or we'll fuckin' have you'' 
 
 Oh ho. ho ho ho. 
 
 Such spirit in them! Such tenacity! 
 
 And then the youngest of them all came up and buried his fist into my face. 
 
 `` Now then lads, that's not a good idea'' I warned; `` It's not very nice'' 
 
 `` Fuck you!'' was the only response I got. Such language from the naughty childer. 
 
 I knew of course, that they were, I always do, but I would n't have wanted it to end like that. 
 
 `` Lads, I'm sorry'' I tried to say as they swiped with their knives. I had given that one his first one. A penknife though, not a switchblade. He'd upped his game. 
 
 And I gave a whistle, and they came. My pets. 
 
 Rudolph, followed by the rest. 
 
 His nose became blood red as he tore apart those boys in that dead-end alley. 
 
 They were all so young, but oh so naughty.
