The Unwise

Glen’s phone begins to vibrate. He answered it and nods. He looked back at Cain and gave a serious look.

“I understand, I’ll have him know it.” He put it back on his coat and stood still for a moment. His back feels better now. “Just for you to know, the lone survivor subject has escaped from the Hoarder’s men.”

“What?” He said in surprise. “That bastard cannot be trusted after all.”

“Theo has no choice now but to kill.”

“I understand where his vigilance coming from,” Cain said. “But is this the only way? Is there any other way to avoid bloodshed?”

“He’s being prudent.”

“Prudent?!” Cain shouted. “How is killing a mass crowd of the city is being prudent?!”

Hearing those words, Gary is surprised.

“Because we will make a distraction and have the Glade mercenaries take the blame.”

Cain hisses and walks towards the exit.

“I’ll have no part of it.” Cain flatly said, “I’ll prepare to extract my father.”

“Perhaps that’s best for you.”
