Im killing Zil. Clear enough? Im putting him down.Whoa, man, Edilio said. Thats not what we do. Were the good guys, right?There has to be an end to it, Edilio. He wiped soot from his face with the back of his hand, but smoke had filled his eyes with tears. I cant keep doing it and never reaching the end.Its not your call anymore, Edilio said.Sam turned a steely glare on him. You too? Now youre siding with Astrid?Man, there have to be limits, Edilio said.Sam stood staring down the street. The fire was out of control. All of Sherman was burning, from one end to the other. If they were lucky it wouldnt jump to another street. But one way or the other, Sherman was lost.We should be looking to save any kids that are trapped, Edilio said.Sam didnt answer.Sam, Edilio pleaded.I begged Him to let me die, Edilio. I prayed to the God who Astrid likes so much and I said, God, if Youre there, kill me. Dont let me feel this pain anymore.Edilio said nothing.You dont understand, Edilio, Sam said so softly, he doubted Edilio could hear him over the roar and crackle of the fire raging all around them. You cant do anything else with people like this. You have to kill them all. Zil. Caine. Drake. You just have to kill them. So right now, Im starting with Zil and his crew, Sam said. You can come with me or not.
