Face To Face

In The Last Drop, Silco casually sits across a fuming Marcus

"She murdered twenty-two officers, twenty-two!" He expresses the later part of the number while rising from his chair, yet he is brought down by the guard behind him

Marcus shrugs off the enormous hand and anxiously taps his foot against the wooden flooring. "She went too far... This isn't some petty theft for her machines or even vandalism. She killed an entire shift's worth of my men and women!"

Silco takes a puff of his cigar and subtly nods a few times. "An impressive feat, wouldn't you say?"

Marcus blankly stares back as the scarred man continues. "Dealing with that many enforcers and coming out unscathed..."

The Sheriff begins to grow a hollow sensation in his stomach as Silco's gaze doesn't falter. "It seems I've done great work with her." He expresses with a coy smile before taking another hit of his cigar

He takes a second as Marcus' foot moves faster in rhythm. "As for our problem, I believe we have our culprit"

One of the large men places an army knife on the table between Marcus and Silco, causing the Piltovian to widen his eyes

"I'm sure you're quite familiar with our friend. He's been a nuisance in both our lives as of late." Marcus scoffs at the solution and throws Silco an exasperated stare

"Oh, that's just peachy for you, huh?" He irritably asks while bobbing his head upward. "How do you expect me to provide the council with anything else on this freak? He's been eluding us for months!"

Silco raises his eyebrows and puckers his lips for a second while dangling his hand to the side. "Don't fret, Sheriff, I'm sure you and your partner can crack this case"

Marcus' foot ceases its movement for a split second before returning to its frantic state

Silco's expression keeps its usual poker face as his eyes stay on Marcus. "We've accomplished so much together, and it would be a shame if it were to end because of some so-called liberator"

Marcus keeps his eyes locked with Silco's, desperately trying to match the kingpin's energy, yet, he yields with a frustrated sigh. He rises to his feet and takes the army knife from the desk while making his way toward the door

"Oh, and Marcus..." Silco's words cause Marcus to stop and slightly shift his body to look back. "Be on the lookout during your investigation, after all... You never know who you can trust"

Marcus slowly breaks eye contact and makes his way out of the room, leaving Silco to squint his eye

"AHHHH!!!" Y/N howls in agony as a machete is driven deeper into his lower back. "HEUAAAHHH!!!!!"

The blade is slightly twisted sideways, causing muscle and skin to rip and shift in accordance with the movement

Tears stream down the boy's face as blood profusely oozes out, flowing down his legs and dripping off what can still be seen of the blade

"So, this is the new formula?" Silco asks as Singed finishes readying his equipment

"Yes, it only needs a few tests before I can replicate more." He motions to Y/N, prompting the machete to be ripped from his body, causing the boy to yelp in excruciating pain
