Scapegoat (2)

Scithe landed on the teleportation platform. 

Instead of looking around toward his surroundings, he frowned for a moment and closed his eyes, slowly regaining his bearing. 

Despite the fact this was a private teleportation pad in the most secretive location the organization had to offer, there were already two individuals ready to receive Scithe. Neither said a word as Scithe regained his bearings and neither did Scithe acknowledge them. 

Had Leonel been there, he would have immediately recognized these two as the very same male and female pair that had branded him with the mark that now hovered over his forehead. 

When Scithe finally opened his eyes, the two of them stepped forward. 

"Officer Fin greets Commander."

"Officer Thorn greets Commander."

Scithe looked toward the two of them indifferently.
