Lisa mentally kicked herself for not thinking of the park sooner. It was a hotspot for all of the kids in the neighborhood and the perfect place for a 6ft tall eight-year-old to explore. "I just hope she here and I didn't miss her or something."
The park itself was actually pretty expansive with all the usual stables. There was a slide, teeter-totter, swings, jungle gym, etc. The first thing that caught Lisa's eye however, was the boy dangling from the metal bars of the jungle gym by his underwear.
"Poor kid. He looks miserable." The sympathetic teen thought.
Austin Barr was indeed miserable. His bottom hurt, his pride was injured, he'd been humiliated by a girl, and one of his former victims had walked by and took a picture of him before laughing. This was without a doubt the worst day of his life. He noticed Lisa coming his way and wondered if she was going to laugh at him too.
"Here, let me get you down." She spoke softly and helped the defeated boy down to the ground.
"Thanks." Austin said genuinely. He cheeks stung and the elastic of his underwear had stretched beyond it's limit. "Everyone else just laughed and took pictures."
Lisa frowned. "I'm sorry to hear that. I can't stand bullies."
Austin flinched slightly which Lisa interpreted as him being a victim. "No kidding."
"Yeah," She rubbed the back of her head awkwardly. "Sorry to bother you after everything, but have you seen a really tall girl run through here by chance?"
Austin scowled. "You mean Kenzie? She scared my friends and gave me wedgie."
Lisa went pale. "I'm so sorry. If I find her I promise that this won't happen again. Do you know where she went?"
The hurt boy was still upset but replied. "I think she was headed towards for the Polar Bear Parlor."
"The ice cream spot." Lisa smiled. Finally she had a lead. "Thanks kid, I promise she won't bully you anymore."
Austin nursed his sore bottom as he turned to take his leave. "Sure, just keep her away from me."
The teen winked. "Will do."
And with that, she sprinted towards the Polar Bear.
