Why the fuck was I standing up for her?
The question racked my brain while I stood there dead staring down at Commander Bruno like I had every right to intervene in whatever bullshit power play he was running. My blood was boiling, actually raging, hot enough that I could feel it pulsing in my temples and making my vision narrow to a single point focused on this arrogant prick's face.
I knew Bruno. Everyone knew Bruno.
Self absorbed asshole who got promoted to Commander after we neutralized Victor.
Did I just say we? I meant after I neutralized Victor.
Anyways, he was not because he was the best soldier we had but because he was the only one left standing who had enough rank to fill the position. He had skills, I would give him that much, but he was also arrogant, condescending, and hated women with a passion that bordered on pathological.
