Tomu opens his mouth to complain about being cooped up in the shuttle, and I grab a sock from my bag and shove it straight in his worthless piehole. I don’t care how angry he is with me for tying him up, but if I have to listen to him for the whole trip from Sakata City back to Mayashu, I will kill him.
After everything that happened at the bank and the meeting with Almas, I wanted to kill Tomu yesterday, but today, I know I have to keep him alive. I’ve made my decision. I’m going to sell this fucker to Athens Industries and get my life back on track. The longer I hold onto him, the more likely I’ll be caught by the military or someone else like Almas who wants him back.
