Out there in the village far from where Jason had fallen unconscious, the troops of Sir Philip all marched in.
Although Jaliel had sent an appeal for reconsideration and willingness to surrender the village into Sir Philip's rulership, Sir Philip was still very annoyed at the daringness of these people.
They were one of the major opposition to his rulership, even setting up the thirteen as a significance that they had total control of themselves and none other had over them. This was a direct insult to the pride of Sir Philip and he wasn't going to let them off his hook so easily for that. He planned something up his sleeves.
The troops sent to this village were given a different instruction than before. This rule was rather simple, that every member of the so called thirteen in the village and their families should be sent to the grave by the sword. This was done to prevent another opposition, do that Sir Philip's rule over them would not be suppressed.
Walking into the village, they immediately began their mission.
" Tell me everything including the whereabouts of the Thirteen here" The commander of this forces asked a man fiercely as he shoved him to a wall.
" Plea.... plea... please, spare my life" The man pleaded with the Soldier.
" I won't kill you, that would be flaunting of my master's instruction" The commander said.
" All I need from you is the names of the Thirteen, and their families, do you know that? " The commander added.
" I don't k..now much about th..em, but... I do kn... ow who knows" The man replied
" Speak quickly, we have a job to do" The commander said more sternly than before.
" The scouts headquarters, there you will find the answers you need about them" the man hurriedly replied to avoid death.
Letting go of the man, the troops headed into the main village, stationing some of their men at certain points signifying that the village has been claimed.
Left with 300 soldiers, the commander walked into the scouts headquarters, and with the same method, enquired about the Thirteen. The man interrogated was scared to death, and spoke out all he knew.
" That's all, please spare me" the receptionist at the headquarters begged.
" That's okay, I am only after those thirteen not you" the commander said dropping him.
" Why them?' the receptionist mustered the courage to ask
Turning back, the commander replied;
" The thirteen are direct oppositions to the rule of Sir Philip, and every pest must be destroyed, no matter how small."
Turning back to him men, he said;
" You have all heard the location of those horrible traitors, go ye out and destroy each and everyone of them including their families, that none may remain which will rise up against Sir Philip's rule over the caribbean. "
" Do you understand me" the commander further added
" YES SIR! " They replied in unison
With all completed, they had themselves spread out in the village in search of the thirteen.

" So dad's really gone" Diana said to her mum shedding tears
" Yes honey" Becky replied her putting her hands on Diana's head, " But he will never leave our hearts, never ever will" she added.
" Who do you think killed him? " Diana asked.
" I really don't know, but the council is aware of the person who did it" Becky replied.
" And very very soon, we'll have justice for your father's death, he had no enemies, he h.... " She said this time breaking down in tears. " Darling, just don't let this bother you, we will have justice very soon, and I will personally kill the person who killed Teloni" Becky added.
" Yes mum I will not worry, I have you and Judais for me" Diana said.
Diana was very lucky her mother didn't hear her well, as this would have brought room for suspicion.
" Mum, I have to go get something" Diana said. In reality going to meet Jason was what she really wanted to do.
She walked outside unaware of claiming if the village, and danger that lay outside.
