I will kill that monster

Roland went silent. Luke was right. If it had been the smiling cowboy, it would be more than a bloodbath, it would be a torture house. Christopher was a man without heart, that is what many said, but few also said he was just a funny old man. This was Derek, a monster to his enemies, but Derek wasn't like Christopher. He wasn't nice to anyone. At least that's what Roland thought.

Derek's father had once helped Luke at a crucial time and since his friend was gone, Luke took it as his responsibility to train Derek, and to him, Derek was growing up nicely.

"We are restricted. You know your death had been planned countless times by your superiors, but what have you done?" Luke spoke calmly, his voice making its way to Roland's ears.

"Most of your military credits and achievements were stolen. Why? It's because you're better. You are a threat, Roland, and you know it. But you can't do anything with that badge and position hovering over you."
