"Why did you not report to Hyacinth?" said the Manchineel. He broke the connection to his colleagues. “Anger, fear, pride. Because the rumors surrounding my in-law put me in a difficult position," Khalil said. "Despite what my detractors think, I want justice for the people who died." The confession lifted the pressure he felt. "What did your lieutenants find at the airport? Which country? They should have worked with the other teams, yet no Igigi reported contact with you." Idiot. Why did you tell her that? The Truth Seeker sat up straight. "Airports...where, erm, planes fly in...and out. I have many…friends...in the international community...who'll help when asked..." Khalil had a coughing fit. He held up an index finger to …show more content…
She asked if they could break for recess. “Not yet.” Hyacinth sang, "We're waiting." Khalil slowly got himself together. The pink coating felt like a crust on his skin. He couldn't think of a word around. "I lied in an erroneous attempt to stop the hounding by Mrs. Ioannou." A fecal smell clogged the air like a silent fart. "Try again," Hyacinth said, waving her hand in front of her nose. Khalil saw the grin that was underneath the innocent look on her face. "We got..." Sorry Yarah. "Dr. Underhill called. She returned fourteen Earth days ago. She's being held for questioning. I kept it quiet. I wanted my people to question her first." Hyacinth opened her mouth to speak. He spat out before she interrupted, "It could be a group of unknown humans from VigorNourish targeting Primordial, or not. No one knows for sure if Quinn had anything to do with the Airmed loss." The Annunki held hands. Khalil worried if he was questioned further he'd have to confess about the new deaths, his role with the open Airmed channel and Quinn turning Niels to ash on camera. He wobbled to the box, using the cane to hold him …show more content…
She spoke to the Truth Seeker instead. Agnes squeezed his arm. She told him to have faith and that he was a good leader. Instead of making him feel better, it made him feel worse. He thought: Who have I become? People died. Families are in mourning. I'm more concerned about covering my own ass than finding justice. Leela is dead; I’ve known her family for over fifty years. Poor Meena, she's like a daughter to me. I love Quinn, but she killed people. I'm no better than Hyacinth if I cover that up. The Annunki released their hands. Khalil and Hyacinth came forward. The Blackthorn spoke, his voice boomed to the rafters: "Hyacinth Ioannou, thank you for your report and for bringing the Truth Seeker. You will lead an inquisition of Igigi Khalil, his team and Dr. Underhill. Igigi Khalil, your continued withholding of vital information is a disgrace and a black card against you. We question if you should retain your position. You will be open and assist with the inquisition in any way that is asked. Daily reports are required from both of you. Punishment will be meted to all guilty
Although he was able to see his family and friends, the hardest thing for him would have to be witnessing their deaths. He apologized to everyone for his actions, especially to the relatives of his victims and survivor of his attack. He shouts to the crowd before him, “I wish that I could undo what happened back then and bring back your loved ones but I can’t” (Earle 81). He wasn’t expecting the relatives of his victims to forgive him for what he had done, but he wanted to ensure that he understood his actions were unjust, and that they should not fear him. If they would have witnessed Nobles’ drastic changes achieved through rehabilitation, they would have witnessed a changed man who felt remorse for the crime he had committed to their loved
"They've all gone on a large mission with him, but since this is the base of operations so to speak,
He slowly got on his knees as tears started to flow from his eyes. She was visibly disgusted at the sight of his crying, sending a powerful kick towards his stomach, causing him to cough up spit. He coughed violently as he held onto his stomach. She looked down at him shaking her head as she pulled him up by his head.
Villains do not become malicious from thin air, there is always a reason behind their actions. In the book Day 21 by Kass Morgan, the reader is given more detail on the character Murphy. This character follows no rules and at first has his followers but that quickly changes. Murphy hunts down and in a way forces a 13-year-old girl to commit suicide, and is then banished from the camp. He eventually comes back and tries to kill several people.
“So yeah, some people may have been approached to discuss the plan -it wasn’t us.”
was afraid of being beaten and he didn’t want the officers to lose their jobs as he was told.
sad about his daughter. the third reason is that he maybe loved her because when Crow left him,
“You’ve been unfair. Deceitful, even.” Mithian’s voice grew loud and she gave the king a look of extreme disapproval, brows drawn together and her eyes narrowed. “How would you like it if I’d done the same to you? The least you could have done was tell me the truth and allow me to decide how or if I wanted to proceed. This nonsense about how you ‘thought’ you’d be able to get over this other woman is preposterous. When you came to my chamber last night, you were still in love with her and you knew it. You should be ashamed of yourself, Arthur.” Tears ran down her face.
Yarah didn't expect to hear that name. She looked at Khalil for clarification; he had his face in his palm.
He then admits that he lied about the child’s cause of death, because “I can live with the guilt of a lie, But I could not live with the guilt of their guilt.” meaning that he can live with his lie but not that fact that they would kill them self over the truth. He almost feels that by lying about the child death will not bring the child back, and it will not cause any more pain then the loss of a loved one. However, in telling them the truth, it will drag this family who is already is in so much pain through a lot of unnecessary grief, and legal proceedings. It is as if he feels the family is suffering enough, and does not feel they deserve to suffer any more for something that was ultamaly an accident.
“Where are they?” he wondered, tense at the absence of their enemy. “Why aren’t they attacking?”
“Of course I am. I need to meet Cesar. Thomas told be about the bombers from this morning. I thought I should tell Cesar. He would want to know.”
His blood stirred to a rolling boil. Fingers flexed and his skin stretched to an uncomfortable tightness. “With due respect my Lord, I ask you not to continue along this path.”
“If you say so,” The Captain sighed. “At least tell me what a citizen from the Drage Empire is doing in the middle of the Turf Kingdom.”
“Not among the Bridge staff.” He said softly. “But the Rankori’s Flight Commander is something different.” His eyes dropped to the table in front of him.
