章節 72: Chapter 72: GABRIEL

I’ve never killed another human being in cold blood; that’s not my style. I believe in the letter of the law, and due process, at least I always have until roughly a little less than an hour ago. I always found it weak in others to handle things in this way. The renegade, maverick, anarchist, any one of a million things I used to call them.

Now I understand. You see, always before, my clients were just that, clients, a job, nothing more. Although I afforded everyone their human rights, it was never personal. Once the job was done, that was it. I never had any interest in their lives beyond that and never looked back.

Now someone had gone after what’s mine, had come too damn close to her, and I can’t let him live. Not when I know what could’ve happened to her if he’d gotten his filthy hands on her. Just thinking about it, it’s all I can do to let him live long enough to give me the information I needed to get out of him.
