He shouldn't have been surprised that Trenton ignored everything he said and still wouldn't stop talking about Ileana. He was a murderer and a rapist and yet still insisted on being a smartass, and Cole's faith in mankind fell just a little bit more. The fact that people like this even existed was unbelievable. Luckily Micah saved him the trouble of busting his knuckles any more than they already were, and he couldn't even bring himself to care that they weren't exactly acting on the whole 'innocent until proven guilty' belief. Then again, this didn't really fit into the normal terms of the legal system. When the victim told you who his murderer was, there was no need for evidence.
Cole glared down at Trenton, briefly considering the option of taking him down like this - but he didn't deserve any mercy. "This is for Aaron," he said flatly, "And for Boyd." Then, with more force than he even knew he possessed, he drew his arm back and aimed a heavy blow at Trenton's jaw.
