Justice was not what the word had long suggested, at least not to them. After realizing this for themselves, they make the decision to take matters into their own hands and punish the deserving parties in an effort to improve the lives of kindhearted individuals. In a bar, three utterly random people meet and choose to form the "Brotherhood of Silence," a group that acquits the guilty and administers justice. While technology was still in its infancy in the late 80s, an increasing number of people claimed to have access to computers and the Internet. Technology allowed the "Brotherhood of Silence" to record and share their actions with a large audience. Criminal cases pique the curiosity of Ellis Reese. One of these, from ten years ago, particularly appeals to a future young lawyer who veered from the correct path upon discovering that the rule of law did not permit punishment for those who were not treated equally with others. The fire at the Fletcher estate, where the whole family perished, piques his curiosity. The accident hasn't been discussed much because it was a taboo subject for all. Whenever he tried to find out more, everything immediately ran away from him, as though it was trying to protect him from the reality. The youngster investigates the case anyway, not realizing that the murderer is likely much closer than he appears, and is actively searching for him. 2022/2023/2024/ This is my original story.

Growing up in chaos isn't simple for all. Not many could cope. They would struggle and kick, but ultimately drown. However, for Dakota, that was his normality. Torturing. Maiming. Killing. That was his life, the life of a hunter. The Arizona line was elusive, written fame in the lore of hunters, and infamy for their prey. They were the best. No one could ever compare to their skills, their abilities, their ruthlessness. But Dakota was something else. His siblings might have learnt to enjoy the hunt, well most of them anyway, but Dakota didn't. There was always something missing for him, something he was waiting on. Silent and everlasting hope. A promise had been made to him, the day his twin brother was stolen, taken by the enemy, plucked right from the very home the Arizonas had grown up in. A promise of something better, something that he might actually want in his life. Now, almost sixteen years later, something was coming. A change was begging to be found. Maybe it would be for the best. Maybe Dakota would finally find that certain something that had been missing his whole life, something to fill the dark and fractured abyss that ached and wailed within. But nothing was ever that simple. Because, of course, the promise that had been made to Dakota would never be anything plausible for him, anything tangible to have and to hold. He had been promised a new life, by the greatest enemy of them all. It wouldn't be easy. Not with his family still clinging to his heels, the teachings of blood and violence burnt into his mind. No, leaving them behind wouldn't ever be easy. Then again, staying with them would only bring his inevitable death. Why not take the chance to die happy? After all, out of the ashes, a phoenix will rise...
