And though Kovacs is visibly upset by this robbery, he smartly doesn't resist you further and continues to follow your bidding as you drag him back to his chair and find some curtain rope to try and tie him to the desk chair with. Around the chest and around the ankles, he wouldn't need help to free himself but it should be sufficient to keep him until you can vacate the property. And if that wasn't enough, now that he's tied up you can really give him a beating.
<span class="mu-g">"-please, I gave you everything in-"</span>
<span class="mu-b">"-shut it!"</span>
Again, you're not that strong and don't know how to fight but given a few minutes to wallop him, even you can leave him in a sorry state. It gets to be quite emotional for you actually, that you get a little carried away. How cathartic it is to see him badly battered and bloody, barely conscious from your furious beating.
You're left breathing heavy for the effort yet excited, and how dearly you wish you could just reveal the truth of everything to him. Let him know who you are and why this is happening to really enforce the justice of the situation, but you're smart enough to just barely keep yourself in check.
<span class="mu-b">"-and if you think about reporting this... next time I won't leave you alive."</span>
Excited yes, satisfied. This feeling of power, of triumph. All the better since it's actually righteous. Maybe this is only a robbery in a sense, but it's worth so much more even if the full retribution, the reason for all this is made clear to him. It's about as good a start as you could hope for, and you could always revisit later... for now though, unless you had any further revenge to seek, you think you could take your leave and victoriously so.
>This will suffice... for now. If nothing else, Kovacs will have something to think about for a long time to come.
>Steal anything extra, his computer perhaps? To get away with anything extra though you'll probably need to do something like steal his car, which could complicate things.
>Pay his wife a visit before you leave, see if you can't get something from her as well.
>Get a nice little fire going for his big fancy house... make sure his family are awake though, so they have the chance to escape.
>...kill him? You're in such an emotional state that you could, and there isn't a more deserving scumbag you know... but it's not something you can just shrug off after.
>A harrowing write-in?
