Love Thy Neighbor

R I V E R

I sat back disgusted with what I just seen and with myself for watching the full duration of it. I was boiling, face hot and burning. I knew exactly why I felt this way. As soon as my eyes landed on Halo, something surely switched within me. Disgusting to feel what I feel for said woman but yes it's true.

I wasn't sure what I was going to say or do, but I had to do something. It just couldn't be now. Not after such filth. I can do better though.

It's the day after my eyes bled. No I don't feel better about the situation; as a matter of fact I feel worse. More angry than anything if I'm being honest. Not necessarily mad at the fact that they fucked, but it's the fact that they fucked on a mission.

I pull out my phone to dial Vance.

The line trills for a few seconds and he answers frantically, "hey, River. What's up?"

"My house, now." Click

I hang up and decided to call the others who are in the area, just to have a local meeting. See, I had an idea. An idea which would make some hate me. Most people hate me anyway, it doesn't matter. I smile to myself knowing exactly how my plan will play out.

Some time passes and the other members roll up at the same time. Soon, there was a knock at my door. I open the door, and there stood Ida, Asuka, Irven, Lucio, Yazmin, Milo, and RIP Dominic. Perfect. But you know who's not here? You guessed it.

"Hello all, so nice of you to be here on such a short notice." I step aside to let them in.

Asuka sits down in the chair furthest away from me. "Where's your friend, Su?"

Her eyes slightly widen, and her head snaps to me, "I don't know."

"You see who's also not here, Asuka? You wouldn't happen to know where Vance is?" I step a little closer to her and she scoots back in complete shock. I'm starting to think she doesn't know what was happening between the two with the way she's acting.

The rest of the members sit at the kitchen table, watching the whole thing unfold. "Where's Halo and Vance, Asuka?"

"I told you, I don't know." She looks down.

I'm right in front of her and I crouch down, "you must know that your friend was being a whore last night, fucking on an important mission." And after I say that, the group adjacent to me all gasp, talking around. She even gasps a bit.

"Does she know that you and Vance are fuck buddies?" And there, I struck a nerve within all of us.

"I didn't even know she was fucking him. She didn't tell anything vice versa, River." She argues with me until-

Vance walks in with Halo behind him. I smile, "Oh so nice of you to join us." That same smile fades, "have a seat."

They look scared. Halos head is hung low, Vance's eyes are wide.

"Game, what are the rules?" I don't look at the group behind me, I stare right at the two whom just walked in just seconds ago.

"Confidentiality, loyalty, discipline, and dedication." They all say in sync.

I nod my head, "mhm that's right. And what do these two lack?"
