In The Zone - The Making of Talulah Grey - Restitution (NehpetsEnal)

In the Zone  (written by Ruechari)

I came at Missy's request as her plus one guest for tonight's frivolity. 

Nice to see the family enjoying the night. 

Tonight though my thoughts are far away

Hung up on the past, my talk with Petra 

Explaining the making of Talulah Grey

Zero chance of her ever forgiving her Aunt's misgivings

Only pray knowing the truth will help her heal someday

Now as the evening drifts on I am in the zone

Everything disappears as I once again turn back the years.

The Making of Talulah Grey - Restitution

We crawled for what seemed like miles across the rocky plateau and now lay spread-eagled on the cliff edge overlooking an old Indian village that had long since been repurposed as the Comanchero's hideout. It was serviced by those they'd captured and enslaved during their raids on whites and Indians alike, they only had loyalty to the highest bidder.

During our arduous journey, Kurt had made it quite clear where I fitted or didn't fit, in the battle he expected to unfold, telling me I would be little more than an inconvenience.

"Denver, I mean you no disrespect, but my men are battle-hardened veterans with nothing but their lives to lose, having already lost everything and everyone of importance to them and chosen the life of a mercenary, craving nothing more than an honourable death and loose women, whose only interest is their money and no emotional attachment.

If one of them were to die as a result of your mistake, you would be the next to die, so please when the time comes to take action, do exactly as I say and don't get in their way, let them do what they do best.

'Kill the enemy.'

They won't let us down and remember the price of failure for each us is the same, certain death, your father is not a forgiving man and failure is not an option."
