Helena breathed a deep sigh and put away her gun. She took out her cigarette case and lit one.
"It's you who have saved mine." Helena responded in the same language.
Omondi smiled, then looked over at Mander. A brief look of "oh fuck" crossed Mander's face, before he returned to stoicism.
"This man," Omondi said. "Was one of Igazi's soldiers!" He spat again.
"I could not have rid the world of Igazi..." She didn't bother to spit the name. She'd destroyed him, after all. "Or the other warlords without his aid. He saved my life and the life of someone I love. I have forgiven him for his past. If I were to give you a command this day, it would be that you find in your heart the ability to do the same."
She patted Omondi on the shoulder.
"I ask it of you, instead."
Omondi and the other four men nodded.
"Good." Helena said with another drag. "If you have a restaurant, you presumably still have a landline phone. I'd like to use it, please, and then I'll need the names of your families so that I may find and deliver them to you. Anyone else inside, while we're at it."
He nodded happily and led her in as the other four men began dragging the bodies toward the dumpsters.
"Oh, just cover them up until my people can get here, please." Helena asked, taking another drag of her cigarette before putting it out. "They'll take care of those."
"I'll stay back here with 'em til you make introductions, Your Countessness." She nodded at him.
Omondi entered the restaurant and shouted to the customers in Swahili.
"Everyone! It's The She-Demon Who Birthed All Witches!"
The crowd cheered.
