His parents sent him to a military academy in order to get him straightened out after he was caught stealing from his parents, friends and other family members. (This one picks up from where "Stripes" left) Coldham Fintan II and Beverly believed their son was on the right track until the brooch of Fin's grandmother went missing. Did Fin really do it? Find out.
By the way I have chosen the quotation by King Solomon, because it reflects very well what Beverly and her husband believe is the correct thing to do.
"I haven't touched Lil's brooch!” Fin protested his innocence. His parents didn't believe him after they had caught him stealing from them previously. As punishment they had caned him and sent him at the next possibility to a military academy in hopes it would improve his behavior. They had been wrong. "Have you sold it already?" Coldham Noose asked sharp. "Don't you listen? I didn't take it." Fin shouted at his parents, who were searching the hotel room Fin shared with his younger brother Mike. "You are lying!" Coldham shouted back. Fin shook his head vigorous. His eyes grew wide, when his father started unbuckling and removing his belt. Coldham wouldn’t, would he? "Bend over." "No!" Fin refused out of principle. He wasn't going to budge, even though, he was going to pay dearly for his disobedience later on. Coldham tried it with coaxing and threats. "If you get into position now, you will get fewer strokes. If I have to use force, I promise you a long session with the belt. What is it going to be?" "Fuck off! I'm telling the truth, and I don't see, why I should be punished for something I haven't done!” This is your last chance. Bend over!" "No.” A short scuffle ensued, ending with Fin being bent over his bed and held in position by his father, who had a few scratches and a bloody nose. During the brief fight Coldham had dropped the belt. Beverly had recovered it, folded it a few times and was ready to commence the spanking. Fin normally received the cane. It was at home, though, due to the vacation. Coldham shrugged it off, there was no help for it. He was convinced his wife was making sure the belting was memorable. Coldham also hoped Fin was dropping his criminal behavior. Both, Coldham and Beverly, believed the only way Fin learned was through a thorough thrashing. Beverly swang the belt and sent it hurtling down with a mighty crack on Fin's bottom. Originally Coldham and Beverly had agreed on twenty lashes, but Fin's refusal made it void. Beverly was very angry with her oldest son. First he stole his grandmother's jewelery, second he lied about it, third he disobeyed orders of his parents and last but not least fought back. For all his "crimes" she thought forty five strokes were fair, especially since it was "only" the belt, and Fin was fully clothed. Fin hadn't the same feelings. He swore he was going to kill his parents, if they should ever try again to punish him physically. He didn't know how many lashes he was going to get, which was unusual. He could guess from his father's demeanor that both his parents were not cool headed, and his father's promise hadn't been empty. Fin had told the truth about his grandmother's brooch. She was his confident, and he would never steal from her or his friends.
When the lashes rained down on Fin's poor behind, he tried to keep his muscles relaxed to avoid stronger bruising and think about something else. The pants didn't provide a lot of protection and after six or seven real stingers the pain seeped through his mental barrier. It broke down, but Fin wasn't willing to show it hurt. Maybe a mistake, because his mother was redoubling her efforts. His father had further humiliation in mind. When Fin tried to bury his face in his blanket, Coldham ordered Fin to look him in the eyes. Fin's eyes had been blue grey before he found his parents combing through his belongings, now they were blue, and the stare he gave his father was murderous. Coldham didn't care. Fin tried to keep his face blank and from crying out. He didn't want anyone to hear, what was going on. Fin's breathing was going faster and his eyes were welling up, when his buttocks felt on fire after fifteen strokes. The whacks continued. Stubborn as Fin was, he didn't make a sound. He couldn't avoid, though, that his face was scrunching up, when he was hit, giving his father satisfaction. It made Fin very angry and full of hatred, making his eyes even water stronger. No tear escaped, though.
Beverly was loosing strength and a little bit out of breath. It didn't matter, because the new strokes were landing on already covered territory. By now Fin was jumping after each lash. Good that his father held him down. It avoided Fin was getting out of position and making punishing him easier.
Fin couldn't take it quiet any longer. He groaned after each whack, getting louder by the minute and felt like his spanking was never ending. There were still ten to go, which Fin didn't know of course. Beverly was so angry, she tried to make Fin cry, giving him the last five strokes in rapid succession on the sit spots. Fin was breathless. The pain was searing, if Fin would have had any breath left, he would have been screaming at the top of the lungs, so he simply gasped for air. His father released him suddenly, no further lashes were given. Fin's punishment was over. Not too soon in his opinion. Fin let his head fall. He and his mother were sweating. When his parents had left, Fin barely had strength to move. He took one step at a time. First letting go of the tears. He was shaking uncontrollable for a few minutes, before he gathered himself together. Then he got into standing position and started to undress completely. He took an ice cold shower. It helped to numb the pain a bit. Still tears and water were mixing. Only when Fin switched off the shower, his tears had subsided as well. Fin toweled himself dry and changed into track pants. He had to consider his brother, otherwise Fin would have not worn anything. He had seen in the full size mirror, what his backside looked like. It was swollen to double its size, feeling more like quadruple, bruised and covered in welts.
Mike had witnessed part of Fin's punishment by accident and after thinking about it, decided to help his brother. Mike thought their parents had gone too far. Fin stopped him confronting them. He said, he was back to the military academy soon and if his parents ever touched him...
Getting Fin accept Mike's help was hard work. Mike had brought chocolate, to release endorphins, ice packs and arnica cream against the bruises. Mike thought Fin was stubborn, but it wasn't that. Fin was ashamed and didn't want to let anybody see how bad it really was. Mike advised Fin to sleep, if he could and left him. Fin cried again, when he was alone, because rubbing in the cream had hurt like bloody hell. Fin fell asleep soon afterwards and was woken by his grandmother. She checked on him, having heard from Mike about the whipping. She was upset, when she saw Fin's behind, thinking his parents had abused him. She didn't shy away from a fight and threatened Coldham and Beverly she would inform authorities and anybody else who wanted to listen to her, should she hear about another spanking of Fin. She didn't believe Fin had stolen the brooch.
Later in the vacation the missing item was found by the cleaning maid on Fin's grandparent’s room.
Of course Beverly and Coldham felt guilty. They didn't apologize, but tried to make up for the unfair punishment. Fin was outspoken himself, took their offer to visit his best friend in Italy, but never forgave them.
