His back peddling got Black nowhere. The rest of the council was well aware of Vyken’s stellar record of service and his integrity. It took them about twenty minutes to remove Jacob Black as administrator and evict him from the Enclave altogether. He was first enraged and then he was begging because he said eviction was a death sentence.
His eviction would be carried out in three days, and he would be confined to his quarters until that day. He would be given enough supplies for a month along with seeds and assistance finding shelter at least thirty miles from the enclave.
As soon as he heard their verdict, Vyken called AFJ-081 to come into the Enclave to escort Jacob Black to his quarters and stand guard to make sure the remained there. Vyken waited outside the conference room door until Agare Jax (AFJ-081) arrived and gave him a visual of Jacob Black and the information he needed to do his job.
Then he went to find Danya who was visiting her father and hanging out in case the Council requested further verification of Vyken’s report. He wouldn’t feel comfortable having Danya in the building without him until Jacob Black was gone. The ex-administrator had been a reluctant ally and never a friend. Now he was an enemy.
The man was no match for Vyken Dark. He was sure that Black didn’t have the guts to come after him. Black would only go after those he considered weaker than him to take his revenge. He’d either go after the women who revealed his activities or go after Danya to get even with Vyken. The very thought tempted the cyborg to just take him out.
But this wasn’t a wartime situation. He couldn’t preemptively kill Jacob Black without facing murder charges and stasis, although they would have to catch him first. Vyken could never subject Danya to a life on the run, not when he had dreams of making a family with her one day. So, he would concentrate his efforts on preventing Black from contact with anyone he might see as a means to get revenge.
He ran the data through his processers to assess the possible outcomes and the probability of Black harming someone was high enough that Vyken believed he should kill him as soon as Black emerged from the conference room.
Only his hope for a future with Danya stopped him.
