"I can't let him!" grumbled Vern who had just woken up so he didn't go out to enjoy the morning air. He walked towards Ted with his fists clenched, when he was within reach he grabbed Ted by the collar and threatened, "Get out of here! Otherwise I'll beat you to a pulp!"
"No, sir. Please spare me!" begged Ted who was still standing his ground. He didn't want to give his life to Jack, but if it ended up in Vern's hands he would give it up someday.
"Arggh! You really make me sick!" growled Vern who couldn't tolerate Ted. He raised his right fist. When Vern wanted to punch Ted on the cheek, someone from behind restrained his hand.
"That can't be, sir. Because he's already on our side." That person was Deff, he gripped Vern's arm firmly without expression and it seemed like it was easy for him to withstand Vern's strength.
