"Commander..." Casey hesitated to speak up after they had driven for a bit.

“I'm not in active duty anymore, don't call me Commander. Just call me Mr Gardner or Billy like Derek does." Billy replied.

“Sure thing," Billy nodded before asking, "What did you want to say earlier?”

"I got a call from the capital this morning.” Casey's tone was heavy.

"As expected,” Billy responded nonchalantly. "What did they say?"

"They're not happy about you going off on your own and are giving you three days to return to the western region or else they'll revoke your title as King of the West." Casey took a deep breath before continuing. "I think it's time for us to part ways.”

"That works out perfectly.” Billy had an indifferent expression on his face.

Casey slammed on the brakes suddenly causing them both to jolt forward in their seats.
