"So," Ichimaru Gin said. He strolled down the sunlit avenue with the pretty redhead, happily conscious that all the other captains were running around doing good deeds and hard work and sweating their asses off. "You've decided to lend a little hand?"
"Well now." She put a finger to her chin and pouted daintily. "An opportunity for power, wealth, and a really cruel vengeance on Mia Fey -- and her friends, too? How could I possibly say no?"
"Seems to me that you're a girl who's got her head screwed on right," Gin said approvingly.
"It's everyone else that's stupid," she said. "I'm not my sister's keeper, after all. But how did you manage to contact me?"
"There was a list," Gin said vaguely. "We saw to it that an extra name or two got added -- and then that it got left off before any of the other people saw it. So no, they ain't going to know you're here."
"You're such a smart man," she cooed. "I can see that we're going to work together perfectly."
Gin slid an arm around her delicately yielding shoulders, and brought his fingers up around her throat hard enough to be felt. "I should tell ya," he said as she choked, "that I know what happened to Valerie and to Terry. Mm? I know exactly how much loyalty means to you. So don't get no ideas. This is the last chance ya get for vengeance. Don't blow it."
"You talk as if you think I'd betray you," she whispered softly.
"Snake knows viper," Gin said. "I think we understand each other, mm?"
"I'm sure we do," said Dahlia Hawthorne.
