Bill Cady, The Early Years … by Bill Cady 59<br />

“Kill that bastard, Cady!”<br />

“Beat his fuckin‟ ass, Cady!”<br />

“Stomp the shit out of „im, Cady!”<br />

I loved every word!<br />

When I started at him, John looked like he didn‟t know what to do. So, with the<br />

idea doing something‟s better than doing nothing, he wound up and launched a<br />

haymaker. It swished far overhead, since I‟d already dived for his knees. I did what‟s<br />

known in wrestling as a double leg takedown. John hit the asphalt and I clambered atop<br />

his chest. This is a killer position in a street fight. I placed both knees on his biceps and<br />

pressed down hard with all my body weight, around 170 at that point.<br />

John could no longer use his hands. He couldn‟t move. He absotively, posilutely<br />

could not move out from under me.<br />

<strong>My</strong> fists began a back and forth rhythm that‟s been known to kill people in a<br />

street fight. <strong>My</strong> right would slug his face. His head would slam into the blacktop, then<br />

bounce up. When it did, my left was already coming at him while I cocked the right<br />

again. I‟d gone through numerous cycles already. John was close to unconscious when a<br />

hand grabbed my left trapezius.<br />

Although I‟d heard a lot of cheering for Cady, I was pretty damned sure that hand<br />

belonged to a ninth grader who didn‟t want to see one of his own thumped any longer.<br />

Well, TFB, pal. Too fuckin‟ bad! I was not about to stand up and have some “hero”<br />

knock me flat on my ass.<br />

I came to my feet spinning, turning as I rose. <strong>My</strong> right hand was in full swing<br />

before I saw who grabbed me. By the time I was able to ID the grabber, it was too late,<br />
