"And what I am really put off by if I'm being completely honest is that you pulled this shit on me after our working relationship, it was to say the least off putting." Therod was pacing in front of the group of body part smugglers. Behind her was Rem and Rolando both pointing their rifles, behind them was the smoking remains of the merc APC charred bodies lay next to it.
"We didn't..."
"DID I LOOK LIKE I WAS FINISHED TALKING!" Therod was very very angry. Carut and her boys had managed to disable and destroy the APC, but that the situation had become a thing vastly upset her. "You assholes got me involved in body smuggling, you turned on us instead of simply paying us off or not having us protect you, and now that things are turning on you, you look for some kind of sympathy from us?" Therod laughed, the body smugglers did not like where her talk was going.
"What do you want from us?"
"Nothing, there is only one thing left to do." Rem and Rolando stepped up and opened fire, the smugglers bodies reacted to the shots and fell backwards in the dust. Therod was sad it had come to the place it had gotten to, sad they had forced her hand, but that was their choice, and all that was left was to clean up the mess.
"Should we bury them?" Rem was the one mostly new to military operations, Rolando and Therod both wanted to laugh at his comment.
"Nah leave them for the wildlife and as an example, you screw with us, and we'll leave you in the dirt." And that was the end of that conversation. Rem wasn't ok with how things had worked out, but he realized like everyone else now, they were mercenaries, and mercenaries had to get paid, and if they didn't people had to get dead. It was the way their world worked now, whether they wanted it to or not. Things had changed, mostly for the worse.
