Mugging on the Court

Elijah headed towards Ol' Johhny's gas station to pick up some gum.  He walked towards Johhny's, and noticed a man walking towards the basketball court, Elijah noticed that every once and while, some guys would get together to play pick up on the basketball court.  After stopping to get some gum, Elijah decided that he would stop by and see if he could join the game.  Elijah headed towards the basketball court and nearly ran into the man he saw earlier, Elijah greeted him, but the man just grunted and walked away briskly.  As Elijah reached the basketball court he saw a woman lying on the court obviously in pain.  Elijah sprinted towards the woman and kneeled beside her.  The woman as blinded by her pain and resisted his attempts to help her up.  She was bleeding through her clothes, and her face was disfigured by blows.  As Elijah stood to contact the authorities, several men shouted "get him" and began to run towards him.  Elijah was outnumbered and the woman could not give him solace because she did not know who had attacked her.  Elijah whipped around and began to sprint back towards his house.  Turning his head round he saw that a few men were still chasing him, he dashed into the parking deck beside Castle Apartments, and quickly chose a group of cars to hide next to.  After catching his breath, Elijah collected his thoughts and cleaned the blood from his shirt and hands.  Elijah walked briskly to his door, where he reminisced about his terrible luck.
