Bab 339: A Gauntlet And A Witness

 Once Skye told them what Mickey had said about Malcolm telling him to get the gauntlet and explosives, simmering rage emanated from Murdoc. The plot was exposed before him, but without proof, he couldn't punish Malcolm for Mickey's death.

"On who's authority were ye confined?" Murdoc nearly screamed.

 Ralph looked at the Highlander King with a neutral expression and replied; "It was the Council, headed by a man named Malcom."

 Murdoc grunted as Tidas looked at him and said; "I know that this isn't your doing, but if my people are in danger-"

 "Ohh, there be people in danger, alright.. But none of yers.."

 As the words hung in the air, Murdoc stalked over to the RMC Bunker entrance. When he reached the door, he turned back, and called out for Tidas and Skye to follow him as well. Several of the Alconian Generals and Captains thought that at least one of them should stay back, but both refused.
