Kill them

Terashima noticed and pulled the phone away from his ear. "It's about that raid; they have tied up the people involved. What should we do with them? You need some for information, right?"

"Ah." Sumire walked over and took the phone from Yuhi. "Kill them."

Despite the vague sounding information, Sano put the pieces together. It seems Terashimas group conducted a raid, and now they are wondering what to do with the hostages. 

The way Sumire said the words kill made him shudder, and his body turned cold with fear.

Even though he has conducted some deals using underhanded methods, he has never taken a life before. How can she--give an order like that? Sano thought he already understood how frightening she was, but this was different.

"You heard that, right? Get it done before I go there." With those words, Terashima switched off the phone. He turned to Sumire and patted her hair. "I will report back to you later, boss."
