Casare returned to the National Palace, and before the car had come to a complete stop, he jumped out and walked straight to Victor's office.
In the deep of night, his heavy footsteps echoed.
At the corner of the top floor, he met the Deputy Director of the Special Service and personal guard: Rohus Mishi, who whispered to him, "The Supreme Leader isn't in the best mood, be careful yourself."
Casare nodded, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door. After hearing "come in" from inside, he pushed the door open. It was very dark inside; Victor was not sitting behind the desk but was standing by the large floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the sparse lights of Mexico outside.
He was wearing a simple shirt, his figure appearing somewhat solitary in the dim light.
Casare closed the door and stood at the entrance, his voice low: "Boss."
"Is it done?"
"Yes, Tatiana committed suicide."
Victor did not turn around; only his shoulders seemed to tense slightly.
