Chapter 42: Him and How Many...
How does one secretly dispose of a body?
Hope wasn't sure. He'd seen public ceremonial burials of Awakened and soldiers before. Even soldiers tossed behind trucks after a long day of battle like used toys; lifeless and worthless for the field.
But Hope's situation was different.

Hope did it for selfish reasons.

'Guess I'll leave him here.'
He tilted his head as he stared at the corpse. Not that he could properly see his body in the dark. But fresh metallic blood touched his senses as cold time passed. So far this method of interrogating people to find answers seemed effective for Hope; Threatening; Intimidating; Then answers.
A little repetitive if he had to admit.
'I better not have jinxed it...'
Hope frowned.
