cw: description of bondage in the last part of the chapter. Short, hence no warning in the title :) I won't dive too deep in bdsm aspect in this story *cough* but maybe this is intense enough...

"Almost all of our spies are dead, Boss." That was the first thing Kaede reported early in the morning even before Moshe had the chance to sip his coffee. "I have told the others to lay low but at this rate, they will be found sooner or later. You're right, Zion is still alive. There's no way Hector, this rabid dog, will move so fast without his master's order."
Moshe's face darkened. He pressed his lips into thin lines and decided. "Pull back." Sacrifice was necessary sometimes. They couldn't forsake the whole tree just because a branch was caught on fire. Kaede knew it too that's why he nodded despite his unwillingness to leave anyone behind.
