Chapter 15 - Loyal Captains Rally Around Their Broken Leader
Vincent stepped forward, kicking Marcus’s fallen assault rifle across the concrete floor and pinning the traitor to the wall.
“The council has voted unanimously, Marcus. Your treason has forfeited every right you ever held in this family,” Vincent declared.
Marcus gasped for air, sliding down the cold steel door until he sat in a crumpled heap on the floor.
“You... you can’t kill me... I know where all the offshore bodies are buried...” Marcus choked out weakly.
“We know where they are buried too, Marcus. We helped you dig the graves,” one of the veteran captains spat coldly.
Adrian wheeled himself forward, looking down at the man who had stolen three years of his life, his health, and his family.
“Put him in an unmarked container ship heading out to the international waters of the North Atlantic,” Adrian ordered.
“Let him spend the rest of his miserable life wondering when someone will come to finish what we started.”
The guards hauled Marcus up by his arms, dragging him screaming and kicking out of the underground vault into the night.
