[color=ec008c]~"Good."~[/color]  Hibana returned in a frail whisper.  No emotions displayed, yet her weary heart beamed bright inside her chest.  [color=ec008c]~"Now..return to me, Aya-chan."~[/color]  She ended the call and sat her phone down, alone in the darkness of her office.  Maracoli would crumble to pieces at the sight of his beloved family drawn and quartered, just like his worthless mooks had done to her advisor.  An eye for an eye...

The Maracoli Family would no longer be a threat to Requiem.  In fear of what may become of them and their families, they would surrender the square to Hibana and all of California and the West Coast would be under her control...nay...

Aya's control...

[i][color=ec008c]Aya-chan...you have made me happy.  I will but smile from the flames of Hell as I see Requiem rise by your hand.  Well done, Aya...well done...

My child...[/color][/i]

After the call ended, Dmitri stood from the booth of the cafe and led Aya to his car waiting in the back alley.
