“Won’t you say something my love?” said Vandis Bane.
“I can’t even look at you,” said Ryoko Jeagan.
“Ryoko I did not mean…”
“Don’t,” shouted Ryoko, “Don’t you dare… The fucking Purity group Vandis. Are you serious? Do you know what those people have done?”
“I have been a member of the group for twenty years. I know exactly what they have done.”
Ryoko turned her head away so she did not have to look at Bane.
“What will you do?”
“Right now I am not going to do anything,” said Ryoko, “I am going to act like I did not hear any of what you just said and you are going to keep on doing your job. But I promise you Vandis. The second we set foot back on Earth. I will turn you over to the authorities.”
“Even if it means people will know about us?”
Ryoko paused. Vandis Bane did not want to use their relationship against Ryoko. But she also did not want to go to jail or face the possibility of execution for her past crimes.
“You would do that?” said Ryoko, “Go right ahead. So my pride will take a hit in the public eye. I can recover. But I will not let you walk away from this.”
Ryoko left Vandis Bane alone in her office.
