[ smart choice. it was one of the reasons that even after remembering the truth, he doesn't loathe working with Venom, like he might with others in a similar situation. ]

I see.

[ he's not going to insult Venom by saying he's sorry. it was perhaps, unfortunate, but it was still inevitable. given the way things were progressing with Cipher, it was only a matter of time before the casualties started to pile up. when it came down to it, Venom was a loss that he could happily live with.

and, that's still not enough to explain the evasiveness. after all, Venom knew the score better than most. there was more to it than just that. and while this was certainly not an interrogation, he intended to get every last bit of information Venom had. ]

So, David takes you out. I'm going to take a wild guess and say Cipher's involved. [ and, given one conversation that he had not long before he arrived, he was also betting that Miller couldn't have the decency to stay on-side. but, he needs more information to go on before he can make a real educated guess. ] And I'm willing to bet that's not where they stop.

[ so, who was the next casualty in their war going to be? ]
