When Justice is Vengeance Part I

"Revenge is an act of passion; vengeance of justice. Injuries are revenged; crimes are avenged."

- Samuel Johnson 

"Last I checked I was clear with our terms." 

Aliya was sat straight up on her chair with her hands clasped together on the table, staring straight at the man in front of her. Katy and Arden were beside her with rifles in their hands, staring at the others behind the man. The man frowned, "Come on Aliya. You know us." Aliya sighed as she shook her head, "That's the thing. I know you guys." She knows how they operate. 

The man was beginning to feel frustrated as he aggressively wipes his chin. This made Aliya lift her brow, "Are you throwing a tantrum right now, Gab?" Arden couldn't help but look at Aliya who scooted forward in her seat, disbelief in her face. "I gave you three chances to fix your shit. We're not a charity. You're done." Katy nodded at Kiefer at the door who nodded back and opened it for them. 

Gab's jaw clenched as he glared at her, "This is bullshit." Aliya's lips twitched, in awe of his audacity to be angry when she has told him what the consequences were. "D'you really wanna do this, Gab? You really wanna be forced out by the others?" Gab shook his head before storming out, pushing the door loudly. Aliya turned to his friends, "If you're planning on going with him, take a pack and go." She watched them exchange glances. 

One of them shook his head, "We have no plans of leaving." Aliya nodded and told them to have a nice day before Katy shooed them out. 

Arden loosened up and sat across her table, "Gab might try to retaliate." Katy stared at Aliya to wait for her reaction when Aliya shook her head. "He can try." To both Katy and Arden, it seemed as though she was looking forward for the retaliation. Like she's craving a fight. "He's dangerous to us." Katy nodded at her in agreement but she can't help but feel that she's already giving a reason for whatever she's planning to do to Gab. 

Aliya looked at Katy and creased her forehead, "I gave him 3 chances. I've been generous to him. He put a hand on our people." Arden could only look at the ground, thinking hard on what to do. "He might bring others to attack us." Arden's head whipped up. He knows where she's going. "What are you trying to say?" Aliya's gaze left Katy as she looked at Arden. 

"Threats have to be eliminated." 

Arden saw the glint in her eyes and that scared him. She's changing dramatically. He doesn't know if it's for the better or for worse. Katy walked towards them and sat on the chair opposite of Arden, "And how do you propose we do this?" Arden glared at Katy who just stared at Aliya. Katy was encouraging Aliya's violence and it was making him feel uncomfortable and scared. 

Aliya shot a man the other week. It made Arden scared at how she only looked at the dying man with cold eyes before shooting him in the head, not flinching. At all.
