Can I __strongly suggest__ that you look in the colloquial aspect of the language. I do understand that most of the colloquial bits are in the dialogue, but it still needs to make sense! Right now, the colloquial aspects are affecting understandability.

Chapter 1: **__Finding Trouble__**

"Ring..." the bell rang. Time seemed to pass like it was just an hour. Jimmy yawned, "The school bell rang again? Time's so fast?" He stretched his arms out and swiftly ran out of his classroom, his heavy bag clinging on as if though a koala.

On the way to the bus stop, he heard peculiar sounds coming from a narrow alley nearby. He thought he heard an evil laugh and a cat screaming. Walking nearer to it, he could hear beating sounds. When he turned round the bend, his sight stunned him. In front of him was an unkempt person with his oversized shirt untidily untucked, who was whacking a cat with great force. He was strong and burly and he had a moustache that was almost fully grown and he was hairy as a chimp, which made Jimmy tremble.

Sweat was furiously trickling down his neck as he slowly approached the boy. Jimmy was just about to join the boy when he had a second thought and backed a few steps back. He thought, "It's fun, but it's not the right thing!"

Thus, he decided to seriously tell the boy to stop his cruel act. Yet again, as "history repeats itself", Jimmy backed away and thought, "The boy was armed! What if the boy was "irritated at his behaviour" and started torturing him like the cat?"

It was like a debate. On one hand, he had a desire to summon up all his courage and do what he had just thought of. However, he was actually quite timid and was scared of having to dodge the blows that may come to his head if the boy was not remorseful. Slowly, he decided against his last thought and nervously approached the boy........

Being clever, he speedily thought of an idea which would not insult him, but would have criticised experts at noticing flaws. "Err.... sorry to interrupt you, but that's my cat..." he stammered, not noticing the crooked grin on his face.

The boy smiled sarcastically, "Brilliant, eh? I'll give //my// cat to you!" Jimmy was just about to receive "his" cat from the boy when he laughed loudly, "Well, I wouldn't give //my// cat to //you// for a billion dollars!" With that, he scooped the cowering cat and took it away, ready to start the torturing game again.

Jimmy was at a loss. Should he act decent and call the police? Or should he challenge the boy to a fight? After all, he was quite good if it came to fighting. In fact, excellent. Jimmy, ignoring the first two, decided on the quietest and safest one. He spied on the boy, following him into a dark and stinky alley.

There, to his surprise and disappointment, he had found not a place where he could corner the boy, yet more trouble. Two more typical gangsters were waiting for him there........

Chapter 2: __**The Battle of the Dark Alley**__

Jimmy's heart was pounding like mad. He was cornered as well. He was "not allowed" to call the police, lest the gangsters would know about him and would beat him up.

Fine, he thought, if it had to come to that. He would challenge them. With that, he strode arrogantly into the heart of the alley and sneered at the gangsters, "Humph, you guys shouldn't torture the cat,"he patted one of their head. The gangsters would never relent and wanted Jimmy and himself to have a duel.

He stood there, burly and fierce. The referee (the boy and the other gangster) stood ready to "activate the duel"."Ready, 1, 2,3, fight!" shouted the boy, while Jimmy and the gangster (called T.rex) exchanged punches, kicks and did all they could to win the duel. After getting a "wake-up call" from T.rex, Jimmy really wanted REVENGE. That was the only word that came to his mind. **//__REVENGE__//**!!!!!!!!!!

Chapter 3: **__Revenge__** Jimmy dashed out of the alley, made a 90° turn and headed for his only destination: the neighbourhood police station. Running at full speed, he pumped his legs so fast that his action was just a blur.

The familiar type of breeze brushed past him. Standing in front of him were two big-sized policemen.

"Uh-huh! Look who's here!" A policeman said with a rough voice. "Yes, may I help you?" Stammering, he replied, " Um, there, there are a few gang... er, gangsters! Er, at the alley! The thin... thin alley!" "Uh? oh, I see," the other policeman answered.

Bringing the police to the alley, Jimmy pointed to the boys in front. The boys, with the cat, steadily climbed up a fence on the left of the alley.

The police quickly followed them. While the police were climbing up the fence, the boys hopped up to a almost level roof a few centimetres away. The police were lagging behind, with their uniform stuck in the barbs at the top. Jimmy was thinking a way to get the gangsters but at the same time, his chances of hope was decreasing fast. He had to think how to get them with the cat safe---fast.


 * Chapter 4:** __**Jimmy's Decision**__


 * When the boys got on and slid down the other side of the roof, the police were just crawling up the roof. then they got up to their feet, slid down and ran after them passing alley by alley. After what seemed like an hour, Jimmy decided to go home, but the sound of quick and nimble footsteps were coming closer and closer.

Cleverly, Jimmy stuck out his leg and a boy fell. Thud! The cat scampered while limping. Like Jimmy, it also had a "wanting revenge" face. The boy looked up in infuriating anger. It was T.rex!

Jimmy wanted to run, but his legs couldn't. Instead, with Kung Fu power, his leg lashed out and gave a nasty blow to the other gangster charging at him. ** Then, with two gangsters down and still not ready to charge at him, Jimmy quickly attempted to pull the the police's uniform out of the barbs. Unfortunately, T.rex, who had just got ready for revenge, took both the police and Jimmy completely by surprise with a double kick as he soared up into the air.

Chapter 5: __**Turn of Tides**__

It seemed like the end of the world. With the police stuck in the barbs and unable to do anything, Jimmy was helpless as he ransacked his brains for ammunitions he usually carried with him. Out of the blue, an idea came to his mind and he was extremely surprised why he hadn't thought of it earlier.

His fingers shivering in numbness, he slowly took out his "paper bombs" and stuffed stones he had found on the ground in it as ammunitions. A skilled "paper bomber", the stones hit T.rex's head and stomach approximately two seconds after Jimmy had brought his hand down and sent the stones flying towards T.rex.

T.rex fell, howling in pain at his wounded head and stomach. Jimmy capitalised on this silent moment to try to free the police with a sharp rock, but God had not answered his prayers. The other gangster's fists lashed out at Jimmy, ready to avenge T.rex's casualties. But he was no match for Jimmy. Another "Phawwk" and Jimmy had managed to trip the gangster with his gigantic stone aimed at his feet. Injured on the knee, both gangsters lay moaning.

Chapter 6: **__At a Loss__**

The boy whom had been torturing the cat earlier was trying to get revenge, but was held as the cat kept trying to pull him away by biting his pants. It turned out that the cat could fight if it wanted to. All depended on the position of it. With all the "crooks" safely out of the way, Jimmy tried again and again to free the police.

"Kak..Thud!" the police's uniform broke, leaving him springing into action with a hole in his shirt. Undaunted, T.rex pulled himself up and revealed a weapon that the police was definitely scared of....a knife. Most people would think that the police, with a gun, would not be scared. But he was dealing with a teenage gangster and was instructed not to open fire.

"Brilliant," said Jimmy sarcastically. "What now? Paper bombs don't work against knifes!" Even so, he still kept firing stones at T.rex, but in his nervousness missed his target again and again. They were hit by another problem as the other gangster had also woken up and began charging at them with stones in his hand, throwing one after another towards Jimmy, who could only dodge and serve. Without a threat, T.rex was already approaching them.

Chapter 7: __**Constructing Tranquiliser Guns**__

An idea struck the police just as he was about to give up. He could use his spare tranquiliser bullets! He instructed Jimmy not to be nervous and keep shooting at T.rex and the other gangster while he worked on his tranquilisers. Jimmy decided to rugby - tackle T. rex, who had just approached him.

Trying to wrestle the gun from him, he saw the other gangster charging at the police, who, taken by surprise, was pushed one step back. But with an undeterred heart, he sent the gangster flying three metres backwards. He learnt from his lesson and began to charge at Jimmy.

Jimmy, who was busy holding T.rex back, saw the police frantically struggling to complete his tranquiliser gun. Determined, he succeeded in kicking the other gangster (who was within range) under pressure, which held him for five seconds, enough for the police to finish their guns. "Yes!" the police yelled as he picked his gun up.............

Chapter 8: **__The Final Battle__** The police started firing the tranquilisers at the gangsters. One shot T. rex on the leg and he slumped back slowly falling into a deep sleep. The other gangsters charged at the policemen furiously but they acted faster. A while later, the gangsters were all shot. They could not do anything.

The policemen said, "Let's bring them to the police station. " Jimmy asked the policemen if he could come along as he wanted to see T.rex suffer at the police station, as it would have gave him great delight and he also wanted to see his revenge finally complete.

Chapter 9: **__The Arrest__**

When they reached the police station T.rex and the others were still lying deader than chopped pigs. Two police were carefully tying them up to the point that even if they had woken up, they could not move one bit. Jimmy laughed. "Hahaha! I finally got revenge!"

When he saw the police running away to catch a dangerous criminal, he watched the gangsters lying there. He had a sudden temptation to make them look like tame dolls. He drew some ugly markings around all the gangsters' face with a marker, then glued their shoes together. Finally, he sprayed paint onto T.rex's face, making him unrecognisable.

Chapter 10: **__"Wake Up Surprise"__

T.rex sat up, his mouth all sticky with paint. Grumpily, he muffled, "Yu shitupedd goye! Waih derd yu sryy pnt on mah fis? I guda kel yu!" Just then, the door swung open and the Chief Police strutted in. "Kill ** me? Ees Big Joke!" the Chief Police laughed menacingly.

Pointing his finger at T.rex, he accused, "You will be detained under Act 78 and Act 254 for bullying a cat and fighting with the police respectively. You and your accomplices will be jailed three weeks! Muhahahahah!

Three more policeman lunged forward, each grabbed a "sack of potatoes", then dragged them face-down.

Slam! With each "sack" behind bars, Jimmy watched as they struggled to stand up. "Haha, you fellows sure learnt a lesson! Serves ya right, yeah, with you lying on your own poor nose!" he sneered and they started to look like Rudolph the Reindeer. "Ugh, carz yu! Naw yu get a fwi kat!" Then, it was like they were trying to lick a puddle of ketchup, followed by swimming in a volcano but at that point of time, T.rex, who forced and tried to flip his body up, rolled over and fainted. Jimmy smirked and went home.

Chapter 11: **__Home__**

"Ah..." Jimmy yawned and slumped into his armchair. It had been a tired day and he dozed off sleepily, stroking his cat...

Meanwhile, the gangsters lay there, fainted and almost dead, and as for the saying, "If you do bad things, you are hurting yourself." it really was true, because you know why...

THE END--
