Summary: [one-shot, 31halloween, prompt #8, bonfire, Amon, Sid, & Echo] There are many things one shouldn't do. Threatening family is one of them.
"Oh, wow!" Sid stared at the dancing flames as they rose higher and higher. "That's beautiful!" He glanced toward Amon and Echo, who stood a short distance away. "What's it for?"
"I thought it would be a good night for a bonfire." Amon told his younger brother, that warm smile that only Sid could cause slipping across his lips. "We can roast marshmallows if you like."
"Isn't this a little big for that?" Echo asked. Not that she would truly object. If Amon wanted to roast marshmallows, then so it would be.
He didn't answer her, which was answer enough by itself. Sid darted back toward the mansion, steps leading him toward the kitchen. Echo knew he'd find marshmallows, or be given them, there. Amon would've already arranged for it before he suggested anything.
"Is it all in there?" Amon's gray eyes bored into the heart of the flames. Echo nodded.
"By dawn, no one will ever find anything." Underneath the logs, where only she could have known where to look, rested a suit of clothes that once had belonged to a business rival who committed an unforgivable sin: he'd threatened Sid.
Amon Garam permitted nothing of the sort to happen. No one would raise so much as a finger against his brother, on pain of death.
He'd warned that man. Echo'd delivered the warning herself. All he'd done was laugh and declare if his demands weren't met, Sid would pay for it.
Sid still wasn't back yet. Echo slid a small vial out of her pocket and tossed it into the flames. Acid and fire dissolved many sins.
