He seized her arms and stared coldly down at her.<br/>"I was patient," he hissed. "But I've come up with a better solution."<br/>The two henchmen stepped into the garden, hands stained with blood, signalling their leader with a nod.

He cupped her face: "If you come with me easily, I might spare them."
