Chapter 64: Dead Rat
Cory looked dazed. The black eye suggested he was hit in the head and may be suffering a concussion. The beaten rat-like man looked up and saw Kyle sitting right in front. His expression turned to one of fear as he started to frantically look around to see where he was. The Nighthound mutt’s eyes eventually landed on Joe and Mike.
Joe and Cory’s eyes met. Cory had a moment of confusion before turning to anger.
Cory: “You fucked me, Joe! You fucked us both!” he screamed out in rage, blaming Joe for the current situation he found himself in.
Kyle: “Still blaming others for your own fuck ups?”
Everyone in the room turned and looked at Kyle. The Doberman mutant had finally put down the paper he was reading. He rested his head against his fist while looking at Cory with an amused, if somewhat disinterested look.
Cory: “K-K-Kyle. I c-can explain,” he said, stuttering with fear.
Kyle: “Please, by all means. I want to hear your excuse.”
Cory: “T-They came to me for information. I-I didn’t know t-they were cops,” he lied, trying to save himself while throwing Joe under the bus.
Kyle's expression didn’t change. The Nighthound leader turned his head toward one of the grunts standing by and made a small gesture by craning his neck to the side.
