Moka,

I don't doubt you have heard from Buster and the other one of your men who was present, but I figured I'd let you know as well.

Ruby is dead. I killed her myself. From what I understand, she had gone against your wishes and gone off on her own anyways, so I guess that means I cleaned up your mess for you. You're welcome.

I've taken the girl, Pita. She is safe, and will continue to be protected from people who want to treat her the way she was treated while she was with the Rogues. Don't try and get her back - it will just lead to more needless killing. She wants to be with me, and that is where she will stay as long as she feels that way.

Oh, and tell Buster that he's very lucky he didn't end up getting himself shot, too. Pita will be allowed to contact him and any other Rogues she wishes to speak to, but she will only do so if she wants to.

I'd suggest you forget about the girl, and work on getting your immediate subordinates in line.

Lambert out.

Lambert,

I wish I could say I was sorry,

sorry that that mutt Ruby was 3 grams

heavier in the head and a bullet wound to match.

But I am not.

I wish I could say we are sorry for the treatment

you received in our care.

But I'm not.

What I am butthurt about, is you with my child.

But hey, we nearly lost Buster once due to some

douche terrorist, but thankfully you let him walk.

For that alone, I'll forget the kid. She is only one

out of thousands. Plus, she speaks like Ruby.

Keep the miscreant, though if she wishes to

contact Buster or myself, she knows where to

find us. In the mean time, tell her she'll be missed

Look after that kid, or I can assure you it will be

the last thing you ever do wrong....

~Lord Moka~
