CHAPTER 2
Bella's mind was going astray with a myriad of emotions and questions..who was he and most importantly why was she still alive even with a gun against her face.
Unfortunately her habit of verbal vomit marked its presence then with "your indecision can kill you in your line of work".
Masen was once again rendered speechless. One could never guess what could be flying out of that girl's mouth. " This is how you show your gratefulness.. you foolish girl".
He could not understand why that girl suddenly just got on his nerves. Without wasting any other minute, he reached ahead and tugged her with him out of that alley.
Bella could not believe her luck. All through these six months when she was fighting for her life nothing good seemed to be on her side .
But today of all days, when she even the last ray of hope had left her and she had mentally prepared to part with life, her killer… a trained assassin seemed to be her sudden savior. Not wanting to think any further, she kept following that strong hold on her wrist.
"What's your name?" she asked "I hope to know atleast who am I going to get killed with."
She had not hoped for a reply.
Masen knew she was just trying to play tricks with her mind to keep it apart from falling. He played along and said "Masen". Now they had reached a cosy, suburban area with nice homes with garden and fancy cars.
Bella was amazed at the location they had arrived. She was expecting a rundown area or a motel or even some secret hideout..but not suburbs never suburbs!
The night was setting in and due to the misty fog and chilly air the place looked deserted at that time of the night.
Masen pulled her closer to him for reasons unknown to even him and went to the backdoor entry of a house located at the far end of the street.
The question Bella was going to ask was shushed by Masen's finger on her lips. It evoked some unfamiliar and foreign emotions in her. She quickly pushed his hand from her face. During this, he had expertly picked the lock and got them inside and locked the door.
"Are you sick? Is this ploy to kill me in a twisted manner? The owners can come down at any time" she angrily said in a hushed tone.
" Nobody is dying at my watch, atleast not today" he replied. " We are good for tonight.. no one is here except us".
" How do you know? I'm not getting a good feeling.. I don't even know you. Holy shit, you were going to kill me and now here I am..in a suburb house with a killer sent for me…ahh" and suddenly she felt the floor getting closer and then all faded out.
