EXCERPT:
Gloria moved closer into the shadows and stood before him.
“What can I do for you?” she asked.
“In a bit of a rush this evening?” he snickered.
“Yes, I am. I want to get the hell out of here.”
“Where are you heading to?”
“Away from this mess.”
“Feel bad for what occurred here?” He said with a grin.
She was shocked that he asked her that, “Of course I do. An innocent man is dead, and for what?”
“For what? I cannot believe you asked that.”
“Two innocent men are dead,” she answered, putting down her head.
“Oh, please, Gloria, spare me your sentimental nonsense. With all of the evil you’ve unleashed on the world, you’re sorry for this? Sorry for stopping the one man that can bring us all down?”

Sounds intriguing. :) Brother against brother always strikes me as a battle of one person's light side and dark side.
