Kasai clenched her jaw and grit her teeth behind her stony expression. Was it so hard to believe that she wanted to help? After all, that's what police officers are [i]supposed[/i] to do. Protect and serve? The whole Oath of Honor thing? Apparently all Kasai was good for was looking out for herself, or at least that's what Avani seemed to think. 

And furthermore, how was Kasai the bad guy here for doing her job? It wasn't her fault that Avani was working for a gang of criminals. All she was trying to do was keep the situation from escalating. It wasn't uncommon for gang's to clean house when things start to go awry, that's why gang busts were usually so large and tedious. Kasai was trying to cover the bases just to stay safe. 

One thing was for sure though, she wasn't going to be bullied for trying to help. 

"Do you really think threatening me is going to do anything? Go for it." Kasai tried to keep her voice even and calm, even though she was getting frustrated underneath it all. She couldn't keep her voice from raising an octave in volume, though. "If all you can do is find ways to threaten me then you need to get your priorities straight."

It was getting under her skin, but not because she was actually scared of the consequences of an accusation. She was mostly tired of Avani's bipolar attitude, and how easily she seemed to want to attack Kasai over something that wasn't even her fault. But, if she didn't want to take the help that was being offered to her, then so be it. 

"For fuck's sake, if I'm that terrible to you then by all means go see what your 'friends' have to offer you." She threw her hands up in the air in a gesture. "But remember who tried to help you first, you were just too stubborn to listen to someone who actually cares." 

Kasai wasn't going to stick around for any more verbal abuse, it wasn't her head that was on the chopping block after all. Maybe Avani needed some tough love to get her emotions in order. Or that could make it worse, who knew.
