Penance 190

"Why should I?", I questioned him blankly.

"Because you are never going to see him again", he told me.

"Why is that?", I asked him.

"Because he will never get out of that island alone", he said.

"You are crazy if you think that I will leave him alone there to rot", I said to him.

"What will you do?", he asked with a smirk.

"I'm going to him", I told him.

"You are welcome but how will you go?", he asked me.

"Don't worry about it. Tell me when will you leave these people alone?", I asked him.

"They are free to think and make decisions for themselves", he said.

"No they are not", I told him.

"They can do whatever they want if it doesn't hurt me", he said.

"That sounds reasonable", I told him.

"That is what I thought", he said with a smirk.

"But there is a problem. I'm in fact going to hurt you", I told him.

"What?", he asked me.
