Half an hour later, when Joey was still mourning over his legs, someone who wore medical mask entered inside the room with paramedics. Paramedics left while the person approached near him. He watched doctors leave and when they were gone, he removed his surgical mask. He was pleased at some extent to see the same mercenary's face underneath the mask. Joey had no idea how he should react to him. "You must be wondering who your non existing brother is." He said to Tarot. "Not anymore." "This place isn’t as expensive as you think. I didn’t spend my money anyway." He said and removed blanked to find Joey naked all below his waist. Then he put the blanket back on his body, "Cops were the one to arrive there before ambulance. I had expected ambulance to come first but it was cop van which did." "Is all of my money gone?" "And your legs as well." Killer said, "I spent your money on your treatment." "You should have given me coup de grâce there." Joey looked around. "You were begging me for help. I didn’t find my bullets anything helpful there. Instead, a local phone booth and some spare coins of mine were –" "Does anyone know about the blast in the bitch's house?" Joey cut him off. "A mishap, they think." "Cops? What about them?" "Firefighter arrived there before cops, put the fire out and washed possible evidences away. I don’t even think we had left any evidence there. If there were, anyhow, then they are no more. Woman and child died in a tragic accident and it's nothing more than it." He explained. "Is my presence here doubtful?" Joey was curious. "I guess not. You were shot thirty miles away from the burning house, not two miles. I suppose, it makes you a different case." He reached towards water jug, "You need some?" "I'm okay…" Joey looked at his feet, "Not so okay…" "You feared cops would recognize you. How did you get here so clean?" "Because I had almost forgotten hospitals are filled with doctors and patients, not the cops. And his is the second time I've come to this place, since you were admitted. And this is going to be my last time here. I paid them at my first arrival. I wasn’t even intending to visit you right now, but I didn’t want you to keep you making think your whole life who the fuck your brother is." He laughed in low volume. "Is it what you returned for?" Joey was curious. "You were shot. This means there will be interrogation about who you are and how you were shot. Who brought you here? How was the night? How was the shooters' face, how were their ball sacks, etc? And you don’t have answers for those questions, do you?" Joey listened to him and said nothing. "So a cripple is left to sink in quick sand?" he asked. "It's your job to come up with answers. I came up with warnings." "What about my fictitious brother?" Joey asked. "It can also be said, 'Friend is like my brother.'" "Is this what I will say to the cops?" "You will say this because I am not coming here next time." He snapped at the cripple, "I will not be surprised by an ounce if cops come here within an hour. You can say a – a very generous man came to you, called an ambulance, paid for you, sympathized you, wished you good luck and left." "What if they link my presence in this place with my wife's case?" "You're forgetting one thing. We are very far from there. Cops investigating there are different, and cops who will interrogate will be also different. Now, do whatever, I am going hell out of here. I don’t want you to say I was the generous man. If I'm caught, I'll open up all about what you did." "Stop there!" "What?" he turned back to listen what he had to say now, "Will you do me another favor?" "If you still have got something to pay me with." Joey told him what he needed to do.

RETURN, A Dark Lord story.
Return, Synopsis In the Triangulum Galaxy, one of a number of galaxies controlled by the Empire of The DARK LORD, JENNA OF CHRISTOS finds herself on the run after she killed a patrolman. Becoming pilot on a pirate craft, several years later she and other pirates are devastated by attacks of the Imperial Legion and are now trying to regroup. Seeking funds that will help them hide out for a time, their leader THURGOD DRISTA and JENNA meet with a PROFESSOR of galactic history who gives them information, a map and an ancient artifact described as a singing stone. He tells them that this could lead them safely to a legendary treasure trove, called THE DARK LORDS HOARD, on the forbidden planet TRILLA. The hoard is supposed to belong to the ruler of the empire who vanished close to one thousand years before and is presumed to be gone. The treasure is believed to be hidden in a tunnel accessible from the planet surface but no one who has gone into the tunnel has ever come out alive or sane. Leaving the pirate hideout immediately after the meeting and avoiding a major attack by the legion, the pirates travel to the galactic rim for supplies and to leave a false trail. With them they take the PROFESSOR and ILISA, a serving girl. However CAPTAIN TRASKA the commander of a Legions task force called Detachment T, has guessed the pirates intentions and tracked them to the rim. The pirates leave on their next leg to TRILLA unaware that CAPTAIN TRASKA with his force of heavy cruisers, is already there and lying in wait for them. Allowing the pirates to land, including an unexpected second pirate ship, CAPTAIN TRASKA sends a force of troopers to capture both craft and their guards. Before they can do this, THURGOD, the PROFESSOR and others, numbering thirteen altogether and led by JENNA entered the tunnel complex. JENNA, warned by ILISA that she must be the one to hold the singing stone, carries it in the hope that it will guide her and her companions past the many dangers in the tunnel. Shortly afterward, VIS VISTRICER the Legions overall commander travels to Trilla in an armoured planetoid, a spacecraft as large as a moon. On his arrival at TRILLA, VIS VISTRICER meets with CAPTAIN TRASKA but before they can do much, they are both surprised by one of the LADIES OF THE CIRCLE who is waiting for the outcome of what is happening in the tunnels. In the tunnels, JENNA leads THURGOD and the rest of party through many dangers and tests. Four are killed in the tunnels but the rest finally come to their goal where, to their surprise, in a cavern they meet the DARK LORD who is alive and very well. He has been waiting for them so he can return to the Empire. JENNA finds out that the patrol officer is alive and that she and many others have been manipulated all this time by the DARK LORD. She also finds out that ILISA, whose real name is JURA, is a member of the CIRCLE OF LADIES and was sent to teach JENNA many years before on her home planet of Christos. The DARK LORD restores and fulfills a promise to release JURA from her service as a LADY. He next has each pirate declare their own fate and takes them to the surfaces of TRILLA. There, at their election, he executes two of the pirates while JENNA is pardoned and some have the death penalty reprieved. The rest will face the courts of the Legion. VIS VISTRICER is raised to the rank of STAR COMMANDER, the highest rank in the Legion while TRASKA becomes a COMMODORE. The DARK LORD returns to Tihab, the administrative centre of the empire. There he takes up his residence in a surprised and disconcerted imperial palace. JENNA is returned by COMMODORE TRASKA to the planet Christos where she is welcomed by the planets rulers and her family, some of whom were aware of some of what was happening.
