As the blue haired teenager came into view, a couple of curly haired grade-schoolers came into view and ran over to the girl. There was a little boy in an oversized hand-me-down newsboy cap and a little girl with pigtails clutching his hand. Obviously, she was his little sister and it looked like the two of them were very upset. "E-excuse me lady..." The little boy started shyly, "C-can you help us? We've been looking everywhere, but we just can't find our pet." He motioned to himself and his distraught little sister. Big soggy tears cascaded down her heated cheeks and she looked up towards Lissa with huge watery eyes. "B-b-bobby -hic- left the door open -sniffle- and now our kitty is GONE!" Suddenly she burst into a wail and started sobbing as if it were the end of the world.

If they were going to do this, then they'd better do it quickly. The lot of them had parked in different places, nowhere near this house and had already planned their escape routes. The timer had started when they arrived and they only had about thirteen minutes left. Everything was all set. Each one of them wore plain, bland jackets and ski masks so their hair and faces were completely covered. Mr. Snow wasn't going to be identifying any of them anytime soon. Not that he was even going to see any of them. Chuck clutched the object in his hand as one of John's friends quietly finished picking the lock. They knew right where to go, thanks to Keith's handiwork. His hacking skills had gotten them all floor plans of the house, through the island's political database. He didn't want to think about that fact too hard. His soft-spoken brother was far more dangerous than he looked. And the twelve year old had even put together the plan.
BP.
The door came open and they stealthily filed in, one by one. Chuck took a long, steadying breath and resolved himself to what he was about to do. This was dangerous and absolutely illegal - not to mention it was morally wrong - but he, nor any of the group he was with, could NOT tolerate a grown ass man beating his own daughter to the point of horrifying violence. Trying to talk to him about it was definitely not going to stop Lissa's nightmare. In fact, it'd probably only make it worse. No. This had to be done. Moving quietly, they made their way through the house, searching for the girl's abuser. Surprisingly, it didn't take long. Mr. Snow was staring intently out the living room window, a dark look marring his features. The living room. How ironic.
BP.
Chuck silently made his way behind the man, the item in his hand was at the ready. His task was probably the worst of them all. Seizing the opportunity, he flung the item - a blanket - over Mr. Snow. As it covered the taller man, Chuck grabbed the man and flung him (and himself) to the floor and held on tight. He tucked his head as he heard the others rush around the two of them and start mercilessly beating the living shit out of the downed man. Some had baseball bats, one guy had a tire iron and another had a lead pipe. They didn't go easy on him, despite the fact that he was currently defenseless. Chuck was certain he'd heard several bones break, arms, legs, ribs... and what sounded sickeningly like the man's jaw. He sure as hell didn't envy the man. He wasn't going to come out of it completely unscathed himself. But that was always a risk when you threw someone a blanket party.
