As Tim listened to the probably sequence of events his expression made several distinct transformations. First from a contented curiosity to annoyance, then to full on anger, and finally a vague look of disappointment. He slowly shook his head<strong>"And I was having such a nice day"</strong>he said, more to himself than anyone else<strong>"But now...</strong>as he said this he turned his attention to Noah, Mika, and Sara<strong>"Now you idiotic little mutts have gone and shit on the carpet. And I have to teach you, like the stupid dogs you are, exactly what happens when you shit on the carpet." </strong><br/><br/>A second later Dom gave his suggestion   "Give the kid a few lashes and call it a day? "<br/><br/>Tim slowly shook his head in the negative as he turned to face Dom, his voice no longer angry, making it obvious that what ever fury he had was not directed at his second in command<strong>"Nope"</strong>he said<strong>"You're gonna make a good leader someday Dom, but if you're gonna lead people in this lifestyle you can't have half measures. It might just be Twitch who this happened to and Twitch is without a doubt the lowest of us. But he's <em>still</em> one of us. And what we have here, no matter how it came about and no matter what happened afterwards. Is that one of our slaves attacked one of us, and took a gun. And both of those things are crimes I cannot and will not allow to be committed. There's a line between us and them, and even the lowest of us and the highest of them are separated by it. If they, or we, forget that this whole thing will fall apart... Grab the three and bring um outside."</strong><br/><br/>As soon as he finished giving his order Tim turned and walked outside. Waiting for his will to be done.<br/><br/>
