A WEEK PASSES AFTER MELANIE'S DEATH with Ren finding nothing remotely connected as to who her killer might be.
Within that period of seven intense days spent scrutinizing every little detail of the scene, and colder nights of perusing the CCTV footage as Casselba had ordered, Ren successfully apprehends more bounty hunters sent by the Apex.
Using his connections in the military Force, Ren had these scheming men and women now rotting in some faraway prison. Hopefully one where the cold will make them rethink their choice of profession. Maybe some valley in Iceland or a forgotten tomb beneath the red sands of Sahara.
Ren's lips part in a slow smile at the thought, particularly the one where they're entombed under a desert. That certainly is deserving of humans who choose to hunt other humans like they're some wild game.
