What if i said i don't care?

His captive was obviously uncomfortable with answering the most recent question of Rhyme's but it seemed like he told the truth. The threat was very much something Toxic might say. Radek had been an awful master, but Toxic was far worse. Even Rhythm held a deep seeded hatred for him in her heart, and for good reason. He couldn't help the pitying look he gave Vlad, though he'd never been given the option to prevent such cruelties on his mother.

Vlad returned with another question, what would his future be like? Rhyme honestly didn't know the answer to that question yet. He had yet to discuss what Shaye wished to happen in this scenario, though he had his own hunches. "I don't know yet. Though you won't be kept as a slave here." That much was true. "We could strike some kind of deal, but you have to convince my partner, Shaye." He added, wondering if she would even consider bartering with the head hunter.

"The rest of my siblings." He started, glancing at the large male. "Were any punished unjustly after our escape?" That's what he questioned many a time in his head. Had he and Rhythm cause pain on those forced to stay behind?
