365 Days of Drabbles: Day Twelve

For lilfluff: "The enemy's unexpected, and insistent, surrender."


"You win. I'll give you everything you want," his sister's ex-husband said, from behind the visitor room's safety glass.

"I'm sorry, what?" Rolas asked in surprise.

"I'll testify about the bribes we arranged to set up those attacks. I'll even permit interrogation chemistry."

"And what do you want in return?"

"To be declared sane."

Rolas blinked. "If you're declared sane, you could be executed!"

"Of course I could!" Kev's look was desperate. "I could be in here for over a hundred years otherwise! I want it to end."

Rolas smiled, with his fangs out. "You poor deluded man."

Kev howled.

I so like the last sentence.

Death is too good for him.

Though I'm still debating whether the staff at the facility will find he and his mother had a nice double suicide while Alinadar was visiting with her former mistress...

I would think that the facility would find a "Vote of No Confidence" in their upcoming annual budget review if that were to happen.

Depends on which Countess' district it's in. *cough*

Oh man, Rolas can be cruel. I completely understand why, but man...

And nah, she reports to the staff an, "attempted suicide pact." Poor things will clearly need the straight jackets and padded rooms for a good long while...

In the basement. Well isolated from the other inmates patients. For several years.

Actually I think most of Kev's problem is that he's trapped in the same facility with his mother. Which given her charming personality can't exactly be fun.
