Vengeance is best served by a third party. Someone who was not wronged but can understand the wrong that happened. In this it's almost like Justice, if not for the all the killing that usually goes with it. - Chronicles of Lorentino
"Where the fuck is he?" Rolando was toying with them. He had killed two in a blitz attack. One minute they were taking trophies of the dead, the next he had shot one through the head and slit the others throat. It was just Ramil and Boras alive now. Ramil had run off to hide in a closet with his bombs, leaving Boras with the bodies of Tyasha and Joles to remind him of the danger he was in. Boras was confused why Rolando would have just killed two, but he had read the man's file, he was deranged, he was probably corrupt and hiding it from everyone else, its the only thing Boras could think of. He was frantically trying to get into communication with Lorzine to see if the old man could help him, but the signal wasn't connecting.
*BOOM*
The explosion was the last of Ramil, Boras felt it before he heard it. Just a large rumbling bang. He hoped it had gotten Lorentino too, but knew it probably hadn't. When he heard the whistle behind him he knew Lorentino was still alive and actively screwing with him. That's when the communciations went through. Boras felt the panic now, hoping Lorzine had some kind of kill switch in Lorentino.
"Lorentino went crazy Lorzine you have to shut him down." There was silence for a bit, he swore he heard the sound of smoke being blown out.
"He didn't go crazy Boras, he's doing what I should have done years ago."
"You son of a bitch, I did things for you..."
"And your imperial government thanks you for your service, now prepare for retirement." The communication cut out. And Boras heard heard the shots and felt his knees explode. Lorentino approached from behind and the blade bit into his neck.
"The Empire will be better off without you." Boras tried to grab the knife, but his throat was cut and the blade gone before he had a chance to react. Rolando picked up his com. It took a while for Lorzine to answer, but Rolando heard half of the conversation already so he knew there would be a delay.
"Everyone?"
"Everyone sir, shot and stabbed, various locations so as to not make it look like an actual betrayal."
"And here I thought intelligence was a wasted part for you commander." Lorzine cut out and Rolando went to clean himself off before calling in the transport.
- Commander Lorentino was the only survivor
Lorzine clicked send and went back to his cigar.
