... will probably be court martialed and imprisoned, or even executed."

Joon's face immediately crumpled, but she managed to not cry, "Why would they execute you?"

Max's face softened, "Breaking serious laws have serious consequences."

"But you did nothing wrong, you didn't kill anyone." Joon sputtered.

Max's lips thinned, unable to explain, "I didn't follow protocol, and I let Agatha out of containment." "Thats crazy! You saved her life!" Argued Joon.

Pain etched Max's face, "I don't think they will see it that way, my love."

Joon's elfin face twisted in frustration, "Then we need to make sure they don't find out what you did."

"Sweetheart, I can't run away from this, that's not who I am," Max pleaded with her tiny wife.

"You're too damned honest, Max." Joon's face creased in pain.

"You're not going back, not after what the Lion did for you." Joon announced.

Mercedes and Howard looked at Joon with vacant faces. So Joon explained that the Lion and the Lionesses destroyed the assassin's guild and sent all the information to the authorities on who hired them.

The Lion had gotten justice for Deirdre, and so Max didn't need to be in the TFMC anymore and could resign and live quietly on Jericho.
