I personally think that Vlad and Timmer were working to serve justice. Domm needed to die; he was scum. Vlad was the expedient person to do that. The old woman needed the deed to her land. This was also justice, besides Vlad owing her a huge favor and his own restored honor. Timmer was a person who could do that. The fact that one person did one act and the other the other does not necessarily make it barter; it can also be simple cooperation. Mia
