Mission: Annihilation (5)

Meanwhile, in Nirvana.

No amount of words would've been sufficient to describe the seething look on the President's face. The news of the team's failure reached him; what followed wasn't a pretty sight. 

Jadyn's loss didn't affect him much, but the thought of Phantom's defeat made him rethink his decision to engage with the werewolves. 

"...what should we do now?" The President mumbled, burying his face into his hands. 

Never in his entire life had he sounded as desperate and helpless as he was at that moment. 

"We should have taken those runts seriously." Someone replied, "If only we had taken measures to keep them in check like the Vampires, none of this would be happening now!"

"What's done is done," Someone else chimed in, "Given the information we had, coupled with our resources at the time, I believe we made the right decision... even if it came to bite us in the ass later."
