Episode 4 : Interrogation

His lay his piercing gaze back on her. He walked up to her and with every step he took towards her, she felt as though they were the last few seconds before a tiger leaps on its prey.  She could feel her blood run cold.

“Who do you work for? Who is your boss?” he questioned her. She felt as though she was a criminal being interrogated by the FBI.

“I work part time at Café De Crumbs”. She tried her best to hide her fear behind her words.

“Part time?” he laughed. “Like, do you kill people only on weekends or something?” His men laughed along with him.

“And what is this Crumbs? Is that a new gang in town?”

“It is NOT a gang. It is a CAFÉ” she argued, trying to contain herself.

“A café where you take on jobs to assassin people?” he raised his eyebrow.

She was speechless. “This guy would be the author of a bestselling book with all these stories he makes up” she thought.

“Look. If I wanted to kill him, he wouldn’t be at my home and I wouldn’t be helping him with his wounds”.

“Shall I kill you first or will you tell me who paid you to kill him and then kill you?” he replied, unbothered.

At this point of time, she felt very frustrated. No matter how much ever she tried to justify herself, he wouldn’t buy it.

“Is this how it ends? Will I die just like this?” she thought.

She looked at him with rage to its fullest. He was unmoved.

“Why don’t you ask him when he wakes up? He will tell you what EXACTLY happened. And remember one thing. I will NEVER let anyone decide my fate” she stated furiously.

“Don’t be so smug Miss Assassin” he sneered. He leaned forward and whispered,

“You think he will let you live after you have witnessed his dark side?”

Her hands turned numb but she didn’t show it on her face.

“Since you survived till now, I will let you count your last few minutes before he wakes up. Later you can decide how you wish to die” he walked away.

She stood there, dumbfounded. “Is a person’s life so worthless? Will he really kill me after he wakes up?” All these thoughts ran through her head repeatedly. All she could do was to pray that he woke up soon and help her justify herself. She sat down and searched for her phone only to realize that she was not given even a moment to grab her stuff.

J went and checked on him every five minutes. She checked her watch. It was 2 am. So many things happened in the past few hours that it really began feel like a movie or a dream. She couldn’t help but think about how she would have been sound asleep in her bed by now if only she had not taken that ally.  She lowered her face in her palms

and sighed.
