Because of his injury, he had to stay behind while his sister and that damn spy went to rescue Anya.

If he hadn 't shot first when the Garden entered that hangar, they wouldn 't have fired back, and he would have been able to go with Yor.

He was the only one to blame for that.

So, now, it was up to that damn spy to protect his sister and bring his niece back. If he knew it would come to that, he wouldn 't have hit him so hard the day before.

'Borf! '

Bond was sitting next to him, keeping him company.

Yuri would never admit this to anyone, but he kind of like that big white dog now. Maybe it was all the time he 'd spent at his sister 's place in the last few months. They both have gotten used to each other.
