Little Peter is the superhero vigilante of Port Huron. His brother, Jonah, is his cameraman and sidekick. These are their adventures.
By Sonny Long
Little Peter rode down the street with Jonah holding him around the waist. They rode their mini bike, the BrotherBike, determinedly toward the notorious bank robber, Handsome Dick. He was holed up by himself with police outside of the building and a SWAT team ready to swarm. All of that changed when our caped hero appeared.
“Not him again,” the police chief uttered upon seeing Little Peter approach.
“What seems to be the problem here, officer?” Little Peter said with hands on his hips. “Jonah, go cover the sides of the building. I’ll take Handsome Dick head-on.”
Jonah nodded and ran to the side of the building where the SWAT team was. The SWAT team looked at Jonah confusedly but allowed him to stand with them.
Little Peter stood next to the police chief and inquired about how he planned on taking down Handsome Dick. The police chief replied that his name was indeed Jack, not Handsome Dick, and that Little Peter should leave the area.
“I don’t require any kind of thanks or a salary like you do,” Little Peter told the police chief humbly.
“I can’t deal with much more of this,” the police chief said angrily. He lifted his walkie talkie and spoke into it. “Prepare the SWAT team. We’re going in and taking this guy down.”
A voice came over the walkie and said: “Sir, he has a hostage now.”
“How?! We made sure everyone got out!” the police chief screamed. “Who is the hostage?!”
“It’s Little Peter,” the voice replied.
The police chief looked to his side and Little Peter was indeed gone. Because of this, the police chief became enraged and balled his fists. Jonah approached from behind and began rubbing the chief’s shoulders. “I’ll take care of this,” Jonah said soothingly.
“No, you are not to go near the building!” the chief yelled as Jonah approached the bank.
“Stop him!” the police chief barked to the SWAT team who were now in their trailers, getting ready. They did not hear the chief.
Jonah entered the bank, there were some booms, pows, and ka-booms, but Jonah came out of the bank carrying Little Peter over one shoulder and Handsome Dick over the other. “Good job, brother,” Little Peter said to Jonah. “You caught Handsome Dick.”
“My name… is Jack,” Handsome Dick said before abruptly passing out.
