MacGyver and I were seated in a nice restaurant. It was clearly fancy and it wasn't my taste, but it was nice and quiet place. We ordered our dinners and we began to start talking about each other. MacGyver told me about the time he met Pete and became great friends with him after dealing with Murdoc. All his adventures caused me to imagine me in those tough situations. Then he asked me, "What do you do?"
I sighed, fingering the lines on the tablecloth, "I'm just a normal girl. I live in the city, no adventures. I work as a CNA, in which so many nurses make fun of me which I start crying when a patient is going to die sooner or later..."
MacGyver raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you mean?"
I answered, "I'm too much of a softie."
MacGyver answered, "I don't think so."
I shrugged my shoulders and clammed up. Then MacGyver said, "Tell me about Ema."
I shot a stiff stare, "You want me to forget Ema... So why are you bringing her up?"
MacGyver answered, "Rachel, this is the moment we need to talk. Ema is a criminal and she's running around saying you committed fraud, when you are just a lowly girl. People around you find you so... So fragile. What do your friends think about you?"
I answered, "Well, they love me and come to me with troubles. I never lost a friend through blackmailing before. If I blackmailed my friends in front of a youth pastor, I would have been rebuked. But I talked to my pastor and my youth pastor and they told me that Ema was just trying to get attention. My friend, Ashley, told me that too."
MacGyver asked, "So how come all of a sudden you are being accused?"
I shrugged, "I have no idea. Ema sent me a friend named Samuel, who I blocked because she forced him to believe her. And when I talked to him about it, he said in a way that was rude that he had been talking all day to people on Discord, a talk-place app. To me that sounded like he and her are friends still and she said once that he was an ex-friend and now they were talking. Amazing, I asked her to show proof that Samuel agreed with her and she didn't even show it."
MacGyver shook his head and let go a heavy breath, "Sounds like I agree with you, she is a very toxic person. Did she do this to you only?"
I answered quickly, "Nope! She did it to five other people who were involved with her. Those five people became my friends. She tried to get people against me about 'art theft'. I made a video proving my innocence and apology, and she didn't even watch it. I didn't mention in that video anywhere about stealing someone's video and she was involved and she marked it in the comments. Proves to me that is indeed someone trying to control me. Not gonna happen. I had suicidal thoughts because of what SHE said TO ME."
MacGyver said, "What kind of sayings did she say?"
I answered, "She accused my family of living "The Muslim American Dream" and showed the video. When in the video itself, listen to this MacGyver, she kept talking and talking and talking about it until I got angry and told her to shut up about it. Then, she kept talking and talking about it. I have the video and she does too. I tried to change the subject and still changed it back. She blackmailed me, MacGyver."
MacGyver raised both his hands, "Whoa, whoa! Hold it. How did she blackmail you?"
I answered, after sipping from a glass of ice tea, "She threatened that when she becomes an officer that she has the right to arrest me for what I have done and even five months later, demanded forms of money of felony. I have the right to say that for her speaking against my religion. She changed the subject about my ex, who I didn't meet on Twitter and again, Samuel denied that he said it... I blocked him after leaving a message about why I'm blocking. Samuel claimed he never said anything about my ex, so it shows that she knew about me and stalked me!"
MacGyver answered, "Slow down... So your ex talked to her is what I understand?"
"Yep, two days later, her lies made him lie about me. He lied to my dad almost having me on the streets. If Ema knew that, she'll be laughing her head off and saying out loud, 'You got what you deserve!'" Tears began to fill in my eyes, "Just like those kids did at one church. Push me over in a dirt pile and poke me with sticks."
MacGyver said, "First of all, those kids shouldn't be poking you around. Secondy, you don't know if she would laugh if she found out you hit the streets..."
I screamed, "MACGYVER, SHE HAS MY FREAKING ADDRESS AND ACCUSED ME OF DEMANDING STUPID LITTLEST PET SHOPS! Oh, yeah, watch her use that against me."
MacGyver sighed, "Okay, okay... Chill down now. She probably meant the officer arresting thing once -"
"No, she didn't," I answered, "She spoke of it again."
MacGyver said, "Then, it's official. She's nuts."
I said, "I'll be right back. I need to splash some water on my face."
MacGyver nodded, "Don't be too long now."
I went to the bathroom and splashed cold water on my face. I turned to grab a towel from the dispenser that someone left one of the stalls. I didn't pay any attention until I jerked back. I grunted and gagged, someone's arm was about my neck.
"Let - Me - Go!" I struggled.
"This is for you telling more lies about me! I told you I will get you one of these days."
I saw a knife with a corner of my eye. I cried, "This is cold-blooded murder! You shouldn't be doing this..."
Suddenly, the ladies' bathroom door was open. Two strange women saw me and my attacker. Both screamed, "Call the police, there's a maniac in the bathroom! Call the police!"
"God damn it," my attacker cried. I was thrown agaisnt the wall and dropped to the floor. I looked up to see my attacker running out of the bathroom. I lay on the floor gasping for air and feeling something warm tingling my body... I was too painful to move my arm. When I saw the two women and MacGyver, I couldn't even budge.
MacGyver knelt by me and checked my pulse. With that, he said quietly, "Who attacked you?"
I answered, "Her..."
MacGyver answered, "Who?"
I looked at MacGyver, "Ema..."
One woman said, "I better call an ambulance. She's got a gaping wound on her side!"
