"In the grimy basement, a man by the name of Hugh, unfortunate enough to be caged next to a hitman,was separated only by iron bars. Hugh made an offer to Serena. He could take out the hitman, but in return, Serena had to ensure that Martha would leverage the influence of Doom to free him. He couldn't be left to rot as a disposable pawn of the Doom. After a brief exchange with Martha, she agreed. So,Hugh proceeded to strangle the life out of the hitman, who accepted his fate without a struggle,preferring a silent death over endangering his family and friends."
