"Jenny" I called after her, she stopped, "listen, I know how you feel about the coyotes, trust me I do, but you have seen them, they are just skin and bones, maybe, just maybe, it might be for the best what Olivia said, we all have to do our bit here, and I know that these animals can be dangerous when starving just like humans can."<br/><br/>I saw the tears in Jenny's eyes, I couldn't do or say anymore, but as I turned Olivia and Jack were standing there, I was angry at them, yes we didn't have much food; yes we had encroached on their territory; then came the kick in the guts; "Max can you track those coyotes down and 'dispose' of them" Jack said.<br/><br/>I looked at him all smarmy faced idiot, it was just too much, "Jack, you may be the head of the so-called security department here, but I wonder if you ever told Olivia here of your violent past, no?"<br/><br/>I looked at Olivia who was silent and grim faced at my question, "Olivia, you have been good to me, a total stranger who you have given life and love to, my life had no real meaning till I met you. Through you I have found someone I care about, yes I care a lot about Jenny, in fact I care more than a lot. Through you I have found a purpose, but I will not; I can not; go out there and kill an innocent creature. I am not a killer, unlike your head of security here, he is a paid killer, maybe you should ask him how much he charges to kill people,"<br/><br/>The look on Olivia's face was one of shock, "yes Olivia he kills people for money," with that Jack walked forward and took a swing at me, it connected straight on my eye, I saw nothing but stars, did I re-act to the upcoming onslaught? No, I just let him him me, I remembered the rules Olivia had made so clear to me.
