"Explain yourself Eris." Rezo's cold voice comanded.
Eris stood before her displeased employer, one hand clutchiing a badly bandaged arm. Rezo had forbade her recieving medical assistance, so she had had to do the job herself.
It seemed like hours passed before Eris raised her tear stained eyes to Rezo's.
"I had to." she said, shaking. "Sir I.. Rezo I love you! I'd do anything for you! For us! Please!" she added, taking a step towrds him, "give me a chance!"
Rezo lowered him hands to his lap. "I never knew you felt that way Eris." He raised the hidden revolver and, before her startled gaze, blew her brains out over the hard wood floor.
The body fell slowly. Her mouth open in shock, as if she were about to call out his name once more.
Rezo pressed the intercom button to summon his secretary. "Clean up this mess," he told her, "and summon Xellos."
"Yes sir." the bland female voice answered.
Xellos arrived just as the claening crew finnished. "You wanted me sir?"
"Yes. I want you to find Lina and bring her back. If anyone gets in your way, eliminate them." Rezo ordered.
"Yes sir!"
"And Xellos," Rezo continued, "I want her unharmed. Is that understood."
"Yes sir. Absolutely sir."
