Radley was woken by voices during the night. He was a bit restless the previous night and didn"t get any good sleep. He kept getting nightmares. He actually had to kill someone, and the nightmares were his penance. Sometimes he wondered why he kept struggling the way he did. He peered out the window from his room. A bunch of people was getting rowdy, and it didn"t look good. Adrian seemed to be among them."Friends, this is an unnecessary triviality. There is no need to get rough. We should not seek vengeance of any sort."
A random man spoke up, "Have you gone bonkers!? My best friend was killed by them! We have come here to give you an ultimatum. Join us or face the consequences."
"Jared, You and your posse will need to go through a magistrate before you can even come close to any of these people. Threatening me will do you no good. I vowed I will remain neutral."
"Who said we will do anything to you? You"re too valuable an a.s.set. We are moving on to them tonight. Be there, you have been warned."
Radley looked at the time. It was 12:34 at night.
Adira suddenly showed up, "What the h.e.l.l is all this racket at this time of night?"
Jared the lead man spoke up, "Go home Magister. You are the third wheel. We will solve our own problems."
"You"re so-called problems are keeping me awake. I dislike being kept awake."
Jared scoffed and left with the entire group.
Adrian smiled and turned to face Adira, "Thank you for that."
Adira sighed, "They are going to become a problem. I need those two blubbering idiots to reconcile before things get really ugly. What do you think this group is going to do?"
"Probably nothing much. Worst-case would probably be vandalism of some sort. But they won"t be able to get far. The other group will have them pinned down, perhaps even executed by then. I just hope that doesn"t happen."
"Mmm…perhaps I should go check on them."
"Please, don"t make things worse…Just, leave them be."
Radley didn"t like that but they were a group of seven. Just how much damage could they do?
Radley decided to go to bed and try to go to sleep.
He slipped in and out of sleep while the death of Raelene haunted him.
The next morning someone knocked on his door. He wasn"t amused. He climbed out of bed and made his way to the door, but he didn"t open it, "Yeah? Who is it?"
It was Rita, "Come on Radley. Time for breakfast."
"I will come when I am ready and able."
"I know you are, so come on. Breakfast is getting cold."
"Rita, I will come when I am ready. No sooner or no later, we clear."
"Oh, it seems someone hasn"t had his coffee."
"Rita! Get lost."
"Geeze, no need to be so testy."
Rita heard him go back to bed. Elita was standing next to Radley"s door, "He seems weirdly off today."
Rita agreed, "I wonder if it got something to do with yesterday night?"
"No, I think its something else. Remember the last time he was that angry?"
"Well, I won"t say his quite there, but something does have him riled up."
"Well, let"s let him be."
Rita nodded and the two of them went downstairs.

Radley was sitting on the bed with his hands in his hair. How do you tell someone you killed someone, and besides, he didn"t want to start anything with them? Keeping them at a distance was the best solution. He needed to get his gear and leave as fast as possible before he does something he will regret.
He went downstairs and saw a lot of people being merry and cheerful. Radley went to where Adrian was busy talking to his wife. Adira was there as well.
"Morning Adrian. I was told there was breakfast?"
A person could see he had little sleep but was cheerful as ever, "Ah, yes. Over there is a buffet table. Just the usual breakfast stuff. Nothing too fancy."
Radley nodded and left. Adira spoke up, "Young man, I know that you and I don"t see eye to eye, but at least have some common courtesy to greet someone when you see them."
"Ah, of course, morning uuhm…Adrian"s wife." Radley didn"t want to tell her he already knew her name. He left with that.
Adira was fuming but didn"t say a word.
Adrian found this curious, "What happened between you two? It would seem there is some seriously bad blood."
"He nearly killed my daughter, as a result, I nearly killed him."
Radley had some breakfast. Scrambled eggs which tasted a bit strange for eggs. There were some sausages and smoked meat as well. Milk with some sort of roasted cereal. Seemed everything was made in house.
He finished up quickly and went towards Adrian, "Adrian, can we leave to go get my gear?"
"Oh, yes of course." He kissed his wife and made his way out with Radley.
Radley was quiet most of the way while Adrian did all the talking. The bridge was also rather eventless.
They got to the shop and noticed it was still locked. Adrian found this odd, "Strange, his never late."
He peered into the windows and knocked on the door a few times. Still no answer, "Let"s go to his house. Perhaps he just overslept."
Radley followed Adrian. The came to a house but the door was open, "Well it seems they are still home."
They both went inside as Adrian called out, "Hey fat b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Anyone home?!"
Radly noticed something strange with the door, "Hey Adrian. You might wanna check this."
Adrian complied, "The door was forced open…"
Alarm bells went off in Adrian"s head, "Oh G.o.d no. William!? William?! Answer me G.o.ddammit!"
He quickly ran up the stairs towards the second floor. Radley remained below and surveyed the area. Nothing seemed out of place. That"s when he noticed the blood. It sent chills down his spine. He followed the blood and what he saw made him wretch.
