Villains or Vigilantes: Chapter Four

Nicholas and Bidel spent several days breaking fingers and noses with blood stained fists. It was hard to not to use their weapons when the filth of society was so clearly lying to them about what they knew. So far they had discovered nothing about the girl's death. Nicholas noticed that Bidel had an intensity about him that had a violent tendency that couldn't be rivaled by any other. At the moment Bidel was torturing a random man that had bumped into Bidel on the street and not apologized. The cracking of the man's ring finger almost echoed throughout the alleyway that they were now in. "I've got nine other piggies to kill if i don't hear a sincere apology" Bidel growled in the man's face. The man screamed, "I'm sorry!" through tears and blood that were dripping down his face. "That sounded a bit fake to me, how did it sound to you Nicholas?" Before Nicholas could reply another crack of a finger pierced the night air. The man's screams of agony were horrific to Nicholas but it seemed as if Bidel enjoyed it. With every scream that the man let out Bidel looked happier and happier in a sadistic way. The man screamed another apology at the top of his lungs and Bidel took out his axe and chopped off the man's hand. "That was sincere, but it took so long. Now leave before i really get crazy." The man stumbled of holding his stump and crying and before he could get out of the alleyway he fell and passed out. Bidel walked over and dragged the man back to where they'd been standing. He got a good grip on the axe and then put all of his force behind the swing and decapitated the man. Nicholas stood in shock. Bidel wiped the blood off of the axe on the man's shirt and said, "You know Nicholas, you shouldn't look so shocked. Men die everyday." "Yes they do, but it's not right in front of you! What is your deal?" "When i was a young lad, i got fucked over by a lot of people. This is my own personal revenge against the world. See, the way I see it is that you either kill or be killed" "I don't think that applies to this situation" "It applies to life Nicholas, the world is full of killers. I'm just one step ahead of them. I stop them before they even get a chance to have a thought about killing. Nah, that's all bullshit my friend, I'm just a sonofabitch bastard who likes violence. Now, let's go have a steak dinner shall we?"
