With Lia and Liselle having successfully beamed away Gary walked unhurriedly but swiftly. Pig was in front of him. it was early morning. so it was easy to avoid the few Romulan guards that were making their patrols. After a trip of a few minutes they had reached their destination the courtyard more precisely the smaller courtyard where he and Liselle were sometimes taken for some exercise in their nude and bound state after a session of torture and other indignities. Along with having to endure humiliating comments from the guards It was out of view from the rest of the prison. But it still provided sunlight and taste of life beyond the barren grey walls of the prison.

"Up against the wall." Gary ordered his voice low and calm.

"You won't get away with this Taylor." Pig snapped.

"Wall. Now." Gary ordered lowering the phaser at the guard.

Pig wanting to extend his life even for a few minutes did as he was ordered and hoped a patrol would find them. Then he would make Taylor pay. That Tri'll bitch of his as well. Their screams would be like music to his ears. Their suffering would last for days. He was brought out of his dreams by a tap
of the pain stick against his ribs. "Need to pay attention." Gary spoke like a teacher or a parent to a small child.

"Attention? Attention to what Taylor? You won't kill me, Your too good. Too moral. Your morals are your weakness Taylor. They cling to every fiber of your being like a blanket and you wrap yourself in it. Drawing comfort from it like a baby suckling at it's mothers breast and that is why they will be your undoing." Pig answered his former prisoner harshly.

"Perhaps but not today." Gary conceded. "Your evil Pig, It rolls off you in waves. It infects every pore of your body and like a cancer it has eaten away your soul."

Pig laughed. "Oh how poetic. How noble! The virtuous Taylor going to save the universe."

"No not the universe" He shook his head," Not even myself. But for all those countless prisoners you used and abused along with a wonderful woman. She may never recover from your perversions."

Pig smirked and spat. "Your weak Taylor. Your doing this as revenge for what I did to some nameless prisoners an a Tri'll? You are pathetic." He spat. "It's why your Federation will fall."

Gary hit him with the pain stick…. hard in the stomach. "Listen carefully you disgusting piece of garbage. "This is not hatred. This is retribution. This is not revenge. This is justice. But this is only the beginning, Pig. Only the beginning. Your final judgment will come from those whose who will see to your final destination."

Moaning and wheezing with pain Pig stood shakily on his legs, "Taylor. I have Latium. Lots of it. It's yours if you just turn your back and let me go," He wheedled.

"No."

"Why not? No one will know."

"Correction. I'll know and that would make me as bad as you." Gary looked up and could see the first rays of sunlight infiltrating into the courtyard. "I have just one question for you Pig."

"A question?" Pig replied clearly confused.

"Did you see the sunrise?" Gary asked as Pig clearly confused stared at him. Without hesitation or remorse Gary brought the phaser up and shot him vaporizing him instantly. A scream dying on Pig's lips as he vanished. Only a dark smudge on the wall remained as a notice of Pig's passing. "Rest in hell you bastard." Gary hissed as he turned away. He first had a diversion to create. Then he had to settle with Mishka.
