James looks at Viktor silently for a moment, he knew who he was since he came through the door "A new Empire you say?" he said eventually, ignoring the fact he was completley covered in blood "Care to explain how you came across this information?" James light up another smoke and reholstered his revolver he had just finished cleaning, he picked up the Black machete Viktor had slammed on the table and examined it, it was the exact same as his own, standard issue for Black Dragon Agents, it had the BD insignia engraved into the side of the polished black metal, James replaced the blade back onto the table where he had picked it up "Welcome to the fold brother" he stated simply, he took another puff of smoke before continuing "This means you are no longer under my command, congratulations" James stubbed out the smoke "By the way, did you pick me up a lighter?"
