The sounds were visceral and horrifying, wet tearing and agonized screams filling the bunker.
Most of the guilty died screaming. Bodies littered the floor as Bloom's commanded massacre continued with mechanical precision.
Arthur watched coldly as his revenge was dispensed, feeling nothing but satisfaction as those who'd wronged his family paid the ultimate price.
When the slaughter finally ended, the bunker floor was painted red. Bodies, or what remained of them, lay scattered like discarded refuse throughout the chamber.
But several figures remained standing or kneeling, spared from the massacre through Arthur's selective mercy.
**James** survived. **Donald** survived. **Raymond** survived.
As for the six A-Class awakeners who'd served under James, as well as the two women from Ryker's social circle who'd mocked Arthur during his homelessness… they were all dead. Bodies cooling among the carnage.
