Two weeks of torturing his own biological son had left Hilarion shaken like no mission assigned to him by the KGB or FSB had shaken him before.
He was sitting in the apartment he'd once shared with a wife, with the TV on (they were still talking about the Kremlin bombing), and his head was in his hands.
What was he becoming? What was Lubyanka, the FSB, the KGB- what were they all doing to him? He tossed back his head, shouting in unprecedented frustration.
Definitely, he'd failed as a father. He'd deserted Artem once he'd found out that he was in a relationship with another man, and then he'd gotten so involved with the FSB that he had accidentally killed his own wife. He tried not to think about the evening he'd spent disposing of her body; the evening that had left him with an unsightly burn scar on the left half of his face. He shivered and opened his blue eyes; the eyes he shared with Artem.
Nothing had changed, really. Hilarion still wanted Artem dead. Once Artem was dead, Hilarion could sever ties completely with his first life, and move on. Perhaps the FSB would allow him a change of identity?
