Rating: PG
Challenge: 475 - Mean at tw100
Notes: Jack kmows that sometimes killing is the only option

Owen stared at the scene in front of him, alien lying dead on the ground.

'You shot it,' he said, turning to Jack whose look was fierce. 'What happened to that whole schtick about saving aliens?'

'It's a blowfish, Owen. They're mean and nasty with a bad attitude and a taste for violence. They can't be rehabilitated.'

'So we capture it and send it back home.'

'It'd already broken into three jewelry stores and run down two people in the street who got in its way. You think it wouldn't do the same somewhere else? Killing was the only option.'

Well, it's not like Jack was ever known for his logic ... or consistency.

Some creatures are just bad to the bone I guess.
