It wasn't the first time, nor the last time Yun Kao would summon him to her office in her oriental layer. He came only to save his own skin -- and that of his family not that they cared their lives were on the line here too. Life went on without him.
He sat across from the criminal overlord and on the take cop with a smirk as she asked about things he did not know. "He doesn't speak to me as much as he used. I think it has something to do with betraying him to you." Dorian laughed. "If you wanted me to keep him close maybe you should have gave it a second thought when you burned him at our meeting. He is Atharim. I'm assuming you mean the rumors of the tunnels."
Yun growled. "I mean killing Alistair Pavlo."
Dorian laughed. "That's old news. I told you he wouldn't bury the bone. Alistair was already dead. I shot him three times in the fucking head." Dorian sat up and leaned closer to the desk to emphasis his words. "He was dead when you told me to stop him. He's even more dead now -- fried to a crisp if I'm not mistaken."
"Zombies, undead. They aren't real."
"You'd be surprised at what is real and what's not. It's my job to make sure that shit stays that way. Or at least it was. Now I'm just a cop like everyone else on the force. Burned that bridge too." Dorian sighed. He'd been doing that a lot lately. It was time to start thinking about making ammeds maybe. Or a different way of life.
Dorian stood up and smiled. "I do so enjoy these talks. I imagine you should tell your bosses he's coming for them. I heard through the grapevine they have some trapped souls he wishes to free with timely demise." He walked out. He didn't care what she'd do to him. He was far enough away from his family. And she was no different than any other perp in the system bend on revenge for the cop who puts them away.
But just to be safe Dorian sent Sage a text
Keep an extra watch on my family please. Might have pissed off the Syndicate leader, Yun Kao, again.
That would make the hacker's day. A job and a criminal to hunt down and destroy. Dorian liked his life just fine -- but there were some changes he could make.
