Alick knew that Aldrin needed to vent his anger, so he figured it wouldn't hurt to let Aldrin beat Travis, so long as he didn't kill him.

“Fine. Do whatever you want, but don't kill him," Alick warned. Aldrin said through gritted, “But he deserves to die."

"I know he deserves to die, but you can't kill him. If you can't promise me that, I won't let you see him," Alick said helplessly. Finally, Aldrin loosened his fists. "Fine."

"Good," said Alick. "Come with me."

Soon, Aldrin was led to the place where Travis was being kept.
