The boys were putting up a decent fight, with Ryan using his muscle and Wade taking advantage of his long reach until Filkins and Ronnie subdued them through a mixture of deception--when Ronnie punched out Ryan after promising to give up in the midst of the bear hug--and cheating--because Ronnie then grabbed Wade to double-team him.Drillbit suddenly showed up and tried to talk Filkins down and disperse the crowd. Filkins punched Drillbit, who continued to take punches without a fight until a rogue kid said he was not a minor and he beat Filkins up within seconds with a mixture of throws, kicks, and punches.
