Tywin Lannister

"Yes, I completely agree." I said and took a long drink from my glass, not saying anything for a moment. "I don't want to bother you with too many questions but...what are your plans for Joy Anna?"

"I don't have any at the moment. She's in prison right now, and that's where she'll stay until I figure out what else to do with her. Her boyfriend is set for execution. If you were wondering."

Tywin

"Have you told her that she's sick, yet?"

I didn't say anything for a minute. "No. I haven't."

Tywin

"Then we both know the prison isn't the best place for her."

Dakota

"Regardless, it's where she is and where she's staying."

Tywin

"You're the boss. What you say goes." I smiled.

Dakota

"But it's clear you don't agree with me. Not that many people do."

Tywin

"But I'm not going to argue."

Dakota

I nodded. "I appreciate that. My son Micah makes it a habit to do that on a regular basis."

Tywin

"Maybe it's because he is as stubborn as you are."

Dakota

"Maybe. So how is everything else? Your business?"

Tywin

"It's fine. I had all of the repairs taken of and my girls are healing nicely."

Dakota

"That's good. I'm glad to hear it. Has business picked back up?"

Tywin

"It is. I'm sure now that everyone is home it will pick back up even more. Will you be visiting anytime soon?"

Dakota

"I planned on it, as soon as I can get the time. Things are extremely busy around here at the moment."

Tywin

"Is there anything I can help you with? Most wouldn't believe it but I can be useful in other ways." I smiled.

I smiled. "I believe it. It's just organizing things, and the new prisoners. And locating the ones that have escaped. I have soldiers cleaning up the prison, and others out scouring the districts for the escapees."

Tywin

"Oh, wow. Who escaped?"

"Asher Jacobs. Quin Bast. Parker Simmons. The Thompsonboys and David Grant. Among others."

Tywin

"Ouch. So the major ones, huh? I'm sorry."

"As am I. They've just made things harder for themselves though. My soldiers will find them. With the new secyrity they won't get far."

Tywin

"That's good to hear." I said to him and then stood. "Well, I should be going now. If you need anything you know where to find me." I winked.

I smiled. "That I do. I will be sure to come for a visit as soon as I'm able."

Tywin

"See you around, sweetie." I said to him as I left his office and closed the door behind me.

Asher - Soldiers started coming back so I didn't have time to go see Mom. I had other plans though, that I didn't exactly share with the guys. I stayed hidden pretty well until I reached the heavily guarded Capitol. I came out of the shadows and went up to a soldier "Hey my man. Care to let Tywin know I'm here?"

Soldier - "Care to put your hands behind your back?" I said, pointing my gun at him.

Asher - "Not at all." I smirked and did as he asked. He patted me down afterwards and called in for some backup.

Soldier - I cuffed his wrists and ankles then waited for backup. When they got there we escorted him to Tywin's office.

Tywin - I put my paperwork down when there was a knock on the door. "Come in."

Asher - They led me into the office and Tywin stood when he seen who I was. "I came to talk. Hopefully, in private."

Tywin - I didn't say anything for a minute. "Chain him to that chair," I said to my soldiers, nodding to the one in the corner that was bolted to the floor. They did what I said then I dismissed them. I sat down on the edge of my desk and crossed my arms over my chest. "You were a fool to come back here. You know I'm going to kill you."

Asher - "Yeah, about that. I'm still not sure what your motives are. I mean, you took some people and left here so why can't I? I never bothered you and neither did my friends and family. In fact, I know Parker and Jon used to be quite loyal to you. So, please enlighten me as to who pissed in your cheerios."

Tywin - "Don't sit there and pretend you're innocent. You've done your share of criminal activity and you're not the only one."

Asher - Asher: "Nah, that isn't a word I would use to describe myself. I do prefer the term survivor. I sure as he'll wasn't out raping, beating, and murdering innocent people."

Tywin - "I never said you did those things. But you are far from innocent. And you have murdered people. Plenty of people. You are still listed as a citizen of Kampfer and as I am the leader of this place, I intend to make sure you answer for your crimes. You and all the rest of your delinquent family and friends. Those that haven't committed crimes have been taken care of. They'll be well taken care of and no harm will ever come to them. That should make you happy."

Asher - "It does make me happy but I didn't kill anyone who didn't deserve it."

Tywin - I smirked. "You don't get to decide who deserves to live and who deserves to die. You're not that special Mr. Jacobs. Bottom line is, your days are numbered. End of story. Now, what did you come here to talk to me about?"

Asher - "You sound like a broken record and a hypocrite. How many people have you killed? I know of three. Those poor bastards you shot down like dogs in the woods."

Tywin - "What I do with my soldiers is none of your business. I have been leading since you were in diapers. Or younger. I don't recall how old you are. What is it you want Mr. Jacobs? If you just came here for friendly banter, this conversation is pointless."

Asher - "Don't get me started on the things that I believe are pointless. But anyway...first I'd like to talk about my son. I just want to know that he's going to be taken care of."

Tywin - "He will be. He will be raised in the Capitol with the other boys as a soldier."

Asher - "But he'll be raised right, then? To have manners and respect?" I asked.

Tywin - "Of course. He'll have respect, and he'll be respected by everyone as well. No door will be closed to him. He'll have the best schooling, the best of everything."

Asher - "Thank you." I said to him. "Now, about my brothers. They haven't done the things I have. What will happen to them?"

Tywin - "That's confidential information for the time being. They won't be staying in the prison long term though, and they're not up for execution. That's all the information I'm going to give you about them right now."

Asher - "That's all I needed to know about them. I've watched out for them my whole life, I'm sure you understand. Now, what about my land?"

Tywin - "You mean the land your father owned? What about it?"

Asher - "Since you've taken everything else I was hoping you could allow my Father and I to have a say so over that. We have loved one's buried there, including my mother."

Tywin - I nodded slowly. "The house and barn were burned down by Peacekeepers before we ever arrived here. As far as I know, the land is still intact and no graves were uncovered. So they should still be safe. As you and your father are both in prison, the land is currently in your son's name. It will be kept safe for him until he becomes of age. Do you have any objections to that?" Not that I cared or not if he did.

Asher - "Alright. If we could put Semara Walker as a guardian of it until Adam comes of age I'll die happy."

Tywin - "And why should I care if you die happy?" I said and smirked again. "As your son's mother is married to one of my soldiers, he is legally the boy's father now. Or stepfather, as I'm sure you'll call him until your death. He will be in charge of the land until it is turned over to Adam. If Ms. Walker wishes to take possession of it until that time, she'll have to discuss that with him."

Asher - "Oh, you're trying to upset me. That's cute." I smiled. "I can't wait to be walked out to my execution. It will be the beginning of your end."

Tywin - "So you say. You know nothing though. And you won't be around to witness the wonderful things I'm going to do for the people of this dump. They will be loyal to me before your head parts with your body. Your son will be loyal to me too. He'll be raised to be."

Asher - "Is that so? I kind of feel sorry for you since you're delusional enough to believe that." I laughed. "I'm ready to go now, boss man."

Tywin - I called my guards back in. "Take Mr. Jacobs down to the dungeons. Put him in the cell Mr. Lorence died in. That one should be sufficient." I looked at Asher. "I'm going to make sure the remainder of your existence is as... comfortable as possible," I said with a smirk.

Asher - "So, you let Obedia die. That's rich. Do you feel like a badass now?"

Tywin - "Mr. Lorence suffered from a very serious heart attack. I didn't let him die. Have a good night Mr. Jacobs."

Asher - "Whatever helps you sleep at night."

Tywin - "I sleep quite well every night," I said as they led him out.

Robert - I went to Tywin's office but his guards told me he was in a meeting and I'd have to wait outside. I watched as Asher Jacobs was led away in chains then moved around the guards and went into Tywin's office. They tried to come in with me but I shut and locked the door before they could. "I need to speak to you." 

Tywin - I looked up from my brandy. "I see this. What is it you wish to speak about?" 

Robert - "Marlena and Ambrosia Barrister."

Tywin - I nodded and went to sit behind my desk. "What about them?" 

Robert - I didn't say anything for a minute. "What do you mean, what about them? They've been missing for months. Why aren't you trying to look for them?" 

Tywin - "I did try to look for them. We looked for awhile and nothing turned up. I'm not going to use all my manpower to look for two women that are probably dead." 

Robert - "Are you fucking kidding me? You're not going to look for them because you think they're probably dead? They could be seriously hurt! They probably are! They are in danger! You need to be looking for them, not sitting there fucking drinking!"

Tywin - "Lower your voice Robert." 

Robert - "No! I'm not going to fucking lower my voice! And I'm not going to let this go! You need to have men out looking for them! Not using them keep men in prison that don't belong there!"

Tywin - "Not this tired argument again. I thought this was about the Barrister women." 

Robert - "Oh this is about so much more than them Tywin. This is about you and your bullshit decisions lately. Everything you're doing lately is crazy, it makes no sense. You went all the way out to the wilderness to get back your girlfriend that doesn't even want to be with you, threw her in prison along with the man she does want to be with, and a bunch of other people that don't deserve to be there either. You shot three innocent men in the head, split up dozens of families, taken children away from their parents, forced women into marriage... and for what? For what Tywin." 

Tywin - "I don't need a play-by-play of the decisions I've made. I've had good reasons for everything I've done."

Robert - "Yeah, reasons that only make sense to you." 

Tywin - "I don't need to explain myself to you or anyone. And I'm not going to. You are my second in command. You back me up, that's your job." 

Robert - "Not anymore." 

Tywin - "Excuse me?" 

Robert - "Not anymore. I'm done. I officially resign as your second in command and willingly give up any and all privileges that title gave me." 

Tywin - "You're not going to quit. I won't allow it. I do not accept your resignation." 

Robert - "I don't care if you accept it or not. It's done. I'm done." 

Tywin - "And Cecelia? Our deal? Are you just going to leave her out in the cold?" 

Robert - "How dare you bring her up right now. After you..." I shook my head. "You leave her out of this. She has nothing to do with this." 

Tywin - "Oh but you're wrong Robert. She has everything to do with this. We both know you never would have started serving me if I didn't hold her over your head. That still stands. If you quit... our deal is null and void. And... I won't be able to promise any longer that no harm comes to her." 

Robert - "You bastard. You... sick son of a bitch," I almost growled at him.

Tywin - "Language Robert. Now get out. This conversation is over." 

Robert - "It's not over. Not yet." 

Tywin - "Yes it is. Out. Now." 

Robert - My fists were clenched hard enough my nails almost cut through my skin. I shook my head, trying to control the rage that was coursing through me. "No it's not," I said then turned and slammed out the door, heading to my office.

After seeing Damien I went to Tywin's office and I was in luck to find that he was still there. "Hello." I said the soldiers as I knocked.
