"If things go wrong, you two need to get yourselves out of town safely, no matter the cost, ya hear?- it would mean more to me than you know"

Denzel looked at Mikah after hearing his brother then towards the house that Lenard lived in
"Well don't expect that silliness to stick with me, I'm going back for you no matter what"

Vincent scoffs but he expected as much from his stubborn younger sibling. Denzel didn't give Vincent a chance to argue
"If such unfortunate events transpire then you two have to leave us behind- IF there is no way you can save us"
The younger male, now, speaking to the other two

This self-sacrificing talk didn't sit right with The feline at all..he didn't argue of course because he doesn't believe it would make a difference if he did. Instead, he just sighed and looked at the door of Lenard's house as he spoke calmly
"Look, let's just do this clean and hide the body well enough so ALL of us can get out"

Vincent nods, agreeing, not intending to drop dead here anyway but was only trying to alleviate the other's concerns if they were faced with such a decision- them being practically children, he didn't want their emotions to get them killed
"The plan is simple, I beat on him a little and Chan slits his throat once I'm done. I met up with Calico and Alex after I had cleaned up the porcupine's house...they were camping in the woods when I told them about our situation- they'll get us out. You'll find them at mine and Chan's house, grabbing everything that seems valuable but we might have to swing by over there to get whatever is left in case they missed something"

The mouse cringed then gulped-he had stopped listening once he heard what he was gonna do, touching his own neck as he imagined the image a few times before shaking off his intrusive thoughts after he reminded himself that this man poisoned his mother...and with a bit of loathing, eventually, he pulls out a black steel knife from his sheath and nods, ready.

Chapter 8:
"Cold Blooded Killer"

The doorknob is played with a few time before the door is kicked open- scaring the daylights out of the capybara who was sitting at his table eating soup.

"WHAT - in God's name??!?"
He was stunned and petrified once he saw Vincent- this being the second time- and he had hunch as to why he'd barge in like this
"I-It's you.."

"Lenard"
Vincent, Starting off with a tiny devious smile
"...so I guess our last encounter didn't mean much to you eh?"
The chipmunk grabs a chair at the end of the table and takes a seat, glaring at the fat rodent on the other end

Lenard choked up a little but he sips from his mug of liquor and sighed out his next words
"I don't know why you're here- or why you've brought a little gang of lost boys into my home...but the law won't-"
He began to get louder as he carried on, growing confident in his own home

Denzel was hardly paying attention and kinda dozed off a little while standing next to Mikah but when he heard the sound of wood sliding against the floor from the chair as Lenard stood up, made his eyes shoot open towards him and he instantly goes for his revolver on his hip- aiming up to the capybara
"Sit...Down"
The smaller male grits his teeth, snarling his words out as he spoke, pulling back the hammer on the gun along with oh so anxious fantasies of pullin' that rusty trigger- but holstered his blood thirsty thoughts as too keep the peace...so to speak.

Lenard evidently grew nervous soon as he saw that kid, the one he bullied, now with a weapon trained to his noggin
"Wh-Whoa there now, son...Im cool"
Easing his way back into his chair then looking at Vincent- who was delighted to see this display from Denzel and watching as the older feller obediently followed his directions, his face still carried a hefty amount of hate as he reaches his hand out to the the revolver, without looking, lowering it down for his brother.
