Family Betrayal

[Wolfs Ghost]

Still kneeling near the body, Austin had watched the Guardian leave the hanger, his pistol loosely held in his hand as he scowled angrily. Feeling a presence next to him, he looked over to see Arland inspecting the body – after having nodded towards Austin.

”... I'm sorry, man. I couldn't get to her in time, she was too fast. Bloody hell, I was almost right by her, but I couldn't target her quickly enough...” Arland said, which was followed by a sigh and a disgusted look at the body.

”Don't apologize. We both underestimated our targets. It an error of judgment for both of us. Anyways... as you said, we don't leave our work half finished. She has Evie, and my pistol, and I want them both back.” He replied, once Arland had suggested getting to his ship. ”Let's go, or I'm leaving you here.”

Once he said that, he holstered his pistol and got to his feet. Moving quickly to collect the weapon that Lily had on her before actually heading towards Arland's Guardian. While most of the time, he would've joked about leaving someone behind, but this particular circumstance, he actually meant it, and would leave Arland on Trafalgar in a heartbeat without thinking twice about it.
