Humphrey slides the Gun to Nikolia and smiles. Nikolia smiles back and puts the gun to his head and pulls the trigger…Click. Nikolia frowns and puts the gun down.
Kate screams "NO".
Humphrey sighs and picks the gun up. Humphrey frowned and put the gun back on the table. Humphrey smiled and said "Time for that game Garth" Humphrey said.
Garth smiled and said "Ok if you win you all get to go free, but if I win you're going to kill the Kid, then the girl then I'll kill you in front of the others. Deal?"
Humphrey shakes his hands implying that he was still tied up. Garth smiles and motions for his men to untie Humphrey. Humphrey rotates his wrists and cracks his neck. Garths men grab Nikolia and pull him back out of the way. Garth gets into a fighting stance and motions for Humphrey to make the first move. Humphrey stands still and closes his eyes. Garth frowns in confusion and rushes at Humphrey. Humphrey stands still and with his eyes still closed counters Garth by flipping him over onto his back.
Humphrey turns and looks at Garth and says "You better hope you can do better, or you won't leave here alive".
Garth gets back up says "you think you're going to win. Ha, you're going to die in front of your friends".
"We'll see" Humphrey says with a stone cold look in his eyes.
Garth runs at Humphrey and punches at him. Humphrey counters by blocking and punching him in the stomach. Garth blocks the punch and uppercuts Humphrey. Humphrey gets caught in the jaw by the uppercut and staggers backwards, but manages to recover from the punch. Garth in the meantime was preparing for another attack. Humphrey regains his composure just in time for Garth to deliver a kick to the center of his stomach. Humphrey barely manages to counter it and pushes Garth away and jumps into a roundhouse kick to connect his left foot to Garths temple. Garth grunts and falls to the ground. Humphrey picks Garth up by the arms and begins choking him. Humphrey puts Garth in an arm lock and begins fighting his hold on him. Garth strains to get out and then feels the air leave his lungs. He begins choking and begins to feel dizzy. His sight begins to dim and finally he passes out. Humphrey knew he just passed out and didn't let go until he was sure that Garth was dead. Humphrey released Garths lifeless body and shakily stood up. Garth's men looked scared as Humphrey walked over to them. They released the team and began leaving the building. Humphrey picked up the 357 off the table and points it at Garth. Humphrey pulls the trigger and Garths head explodes. Kate looks at Humphrey and sees the fun loving, funny omega personality nonexistent. All she saw was a cold hatred expression in his eyes.
"Just to make sure he doesn't come back from the dead" Humphrey said smiling.
"Humphrey you didn't have to do that" Kate said.
"Your right Kate, I didn't. I wanted to" Humphrey said.
"Humphrey I don't like the way you've become" Kate said.
"How so Kate, I'm stronger, better trained, better than any alpha. He had us all at gun, and knife point. He had to die, do any of you think he would have let us go. No he would have killed us all" Humphrey said.
"It doesn't mean you shoot him after you killed him" Kate said.
"Your right, next time I'll rip out his heart" Humphrey said walking away
Kate frowned in sadness. She could only hope that her fun loving Omega wasn't a stone cold Omega now. Kate thought to herself it's all just the stress, and the pain of losing men he's known. It's not changing him, he's still him inside just lost. I'll help him get back, I won't lose you Humphrey.
Humphrey and the team picked up their things and began walking in the direction of the western front.
Humphrey and Nikolia were walking a little further ahead of the group when Can-do walks up. Nikolia took this time to fall back and talk with Kate.
(Nikola's POV)
"Hey Kate you got a second"? Nikolia says.
"Sure" Kate says "What's up"
"Have you noticed anything different about Humphrey?" I mean he seems, more, I don't know cold, like he doesn't really care what he does anymore, or how brutal he can be at times".
Kate stops and Nikolia notices that she's crying. Nikolia immediately realizes that's exactly what Kate thinks. He also knows that she's trying to tell herself otherwise, that Humphrey isn't becoming cold.
Kate nods and says "Nikolia I don't know what to do, I mean you saw what he did to Garth after he killed him. He literally blew his head off". "I don't want to even think those thoughts, but yes I think that's what's happening".
Nikolia nods and says "I think we need to talk to him about it. What if he doesn't know what he's doing and he needs someone to remind him that there's limits to things".
"NO" Kate says in a hushed whisper" I already tried and in his exact words he said "That he wanted to". "Who says that", "He's losing it, I think he's cracking under pressure. "He watched John, Westfield die, and took the flak from taking down the highest ranking member of the West Jasper Army".
Nikolia frowns and says "Kate I know you think it won't be a good idea, but I'm still going to try. Come on its Humphrey were talking about. What's he going to do, especially if I'm asking him personally".
"Good luck" Kate says walking ahead of Nikolia.
Nikolia sighs and jogs ahead past Kate to catch up with Humphrey and Can-do. Nikolia passes Can-do on the way and sees an expression of defeat on his face. He nods as he passes Can-do. Can-do nods back and Nikolia kept jogging until he caught up with Humphrey.
A/N- For those of you who are confused, Nikolia is talking to Kate at the same time as Humphrey and Can-do. I will put in notes like this when I do those things, or I'll make them recognizable for those of you who don't know, but I'm sure most of you knew what happened lol. BACK TO THE STORY.
(Can-do POV)
"Humphrey wait up" Can-do says walking up.
"Hey Can-do what's up" Humphrey says.
"Look man, I know you're stressed but Kate's right, you didn't have to shoot Garth like that. He was dead man, what you did was just brutal" Can do says.
"You do know that this is Garth right, or was. The guy responsible for Westfield's death, and Johns" Humphrey said.
"I know" Can-do says.
"Well then what's the problem" Humphrey said.
"HUMPHREY LISTEN, You shot garth, repeatedly, after he was dead, complete overkill bro, your becoming heartless" Can-do says.
"Well then, I guess we better hope I don't run across anybody that opposes me then" Humphrey said smiling.
"Humphrey what your doing is wrong and I'm telling you now, the rest of us won't stand for it. We will stop you if you go off again" Can-do says turning back around and walking back towards the group.
Humphrey smiled and thought to himself you can try.
(Nikolia POV)
Nikolia passes Can-do on the way and sees an expression of defeat on his face. He nods as he passes Can-do. Can-do nods back and Nikolia kept jogging until he caught up with Humphrey.
"Humphrey you have a second" Nikolia says.
"Depends on what you want to talk about" Humphrey said.
"So you know what's going on than" Nikolia said.
"Yes I'm aware that you all have grouped together because I have gone off the reservation" Humphrey said.
"Humphrey stop walking" Nikolia says.
Humphrey and Nikolia stop walking and Nikolia puts his hand on Humphrey's shoulder.
"Look man I know that you're stressed out and I know you've seen shit that nobody should see, but man don't lose it on us. We need you to get us through this" Nikolia says.
"Why do you all think I'm losing it, I killed Garth. That's it, period" Humphrey said.
"Humphrey he was dead, and then you emptied the clip into him, Overkill bro, look I know what you're going through" Nikolia.
"No you don't, there's no way you could know what I'm going through" Humphrey said.
"Well, I think I do, losing my dad was hard, and it's what I can relate to with you, but from a friend who cares, the friend you rescued from that god forsaken country is trying to help you" Nikolia said "Take my words to heart, or not, it's your choice in the end, and from what I can see when I look into your eyes. I see somebody who won't stop until he fulfills what he's set out to do".
Nikolia turns away from Humphrey and walks ahead towards the group who had passed them while they were talking.
Humphrey watched Nikolia walk away. Humphrey was fighting a battle between right and wrong. The conscience in his mind was telling him things and the other side, the killer in him was saying something else but he thought to himself what I did was completely necessary. Anyone would have done the same thing. He was a traitor, and he needed to die.
But did I need to shoot the entire clip into his head?
Of course you did, I mean he betrayed West Jasper.
But it was his dad, the last member of his family, I mean if my dad was doing that I wouldn't want to leave him.
His dad deserved to die, he was killing millions of innocent people. You did the job.
But it was a set up to frame me, Winston had no real intention of killing Tony, He wanted to bluff him so he could tell the West that the East leader was assassinated by an Omega. Winston believed that it would cause an Alpha V Omega split that would ultimately bring the Death of the Omega population.
Winston played you for a fool, but you found out and did the fucking job. You fucking blew that Eastern Bitches head off, and it felt great. You've never been more alive.
NO NO NO NO that's not who I am, I'm not a killer, I'm a good guy who has had to do bad things, that doesn't make me a bad person.
Yes it does Humphrey you're a killer, your friends are starting to doubt your leadership, and you need to remind them who is in charge, who can get the job done. You've done it before, do it again. Teach Can-do a lesson he called you out, threatened to stop you if you went off. Now you don't want to lose that killer edge you have. You don't want that to dull you need to remain sharp for the fight ahead. Well that is if you want your friends to live.
I'm not a killer and I'm teaching nobody a lesson. I'm going to get this team through this with no more incidents I will get them through, I owe them that. Can-do and Nikolia are right I'm going off the reservation, I need to watch out, and I pray that Can-do teaches me a lesson if I do.
HUMPHREY you can't change what you are, YOU. ARE. A. KILLER. DO THE FUCKING JOB, TEACH HIM A LESSON AND THE OTHERS WILL FOLLOW YOU.
THEY'LL FUCKING FEAR ME FOR FLIPPPING OUT. THAT'S NOT HOW I WANT TO BE FOLLOWED.
Are you sure of yourself Humphrey, I think your losing you mind, I mean you're talking to a voice in your head.
That's right. You're just a voice, which means I'm in control.
Are you sure that your in control, I mean does it sound like you to pull the trigger on Garth after he was dead.
Well… I don't…
EXACTLY you listen, I am in control and you will teach Can-do a lesson.
I… will… Teach…
CAN-DO A LESSON.
I…Will…TEACH… CAN-DO…A…LESSON.
