SKEPTISM

“how did you know my
parents?, what was your
relationship with them? tell
me”. He didn’t respond. That
made her very impatient,
“answer me d--n it!, you can’t say something sensitive
like that and expect me to
take it lightly”. He dropped his
head down again and shut his
eyes. She clenched her teeth in
frustration “answer me now or I will do mean things to
you”. He laughed hysterically
“I am not scared of what you
would do to me, I am ready
for anything, I have gone
through worse situations”. His statements made her desperate to get answers out
of him. She searched round
the room, looking for a
perfect object to use on him.

She sighted a pen knife on the table; she raced for it, went
behind and drew his head
backwards, placing the knife
on his throat”,
“now tell me how you knew
my parents, if you don’t, you won’t witness another
sunrise”

“I was there”, he said through
a cough,
“louder, I can’t hear you”
“I knew your parents because I was there that night”

“what night?”, the expression
on his face showed that he
regretted saying anything.

Crystal got angry, “answer
me d--n it!, open your mouth and talk”. He didn’t respond, she got frustrated
and folded her left hand into a
fist and punched him in his
stomach. He grunted in pain.

“ I was there the night they got killed, I was part of the men.

All we had was a family
picture and the address, our
job was just to kill
everybody, everybody
except you, but you went missing”. Hot tears streamed her eyes.

“why was I spared?”
“you were spared for a
reason”

“what reason”. Just then the door opened and Easton stepped in. He noticed the
tears in her eyes as she looked
at him.

“what’s the problem
Crystal?”. She couldn’t bring herself to answer him the emotional pain she felt inside
took over her entire being.

She ignored him and ran out
of the place to her room. She
slumped on her bed and sobbed bitterly.
Easton glared at the man
“Nathaniel what did you say
to her?”, Nathaniel let out a
dry laugh,

“I simply introduced her to the truth Easton, she is living a lie and she has to know”
“what do you mean by that”,
Easton face showed nervousness
“I told her about the raid and how she was spared because your father ordered us not to
kill her, because she would
come in handy in his dirty
business”. Easton heartbeat hit
against his chest hard. Nathaniel noticed his
nervousness and smiled,
“don’t worry I have not told
her who is behind the deaths
of her parents”. Easton looked
around and spotted a rod, he picked it up and hit Nathaniel’s
shoulder with it,
“b-----d, how dare you!”.

Nathaniel bit his lower lip in
pain and smiled. “you can hit
me all you can. But aren’t you haunted by her mother,

because you wanted to please
your father you left a bullet in
her forehead”. Easton shook
with hatred for him
“can you remember how she begged you, how she cried,
how she knelt in front of you
with clasped hands begging
you to spare her life. Did you
listen to her? No you didn’t,
you listened to the manipulative voice of your
father, urging you to shoot
and finish her off”. Easton
eyes were slowly turning red.

“ I didn’t mean to kill that
woman” “you killed her anyway, then
turned her daughter to an
assassin”. Easton dugged his
hand into his left pocket and
brought out a gun.

“tell me why you are here Nathaniel”
“I am here to free myself of
the guilt by telling her the
truth myself”. Easton cocked
his gun,
“I won’t give you that luxury Nathaniel; I won’t allow you
ruin everything”, he got closer
to Nathaniel, pressed the gun
to his forehead “say sorry to
her parents in hell”, then he
pulled the trigger. He felt a huge burden lifted away from him as he looked at the body
of Nathaniel. What was he
going to tell Crystal about his
death and why he killed him?

He wondered. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of the right hand.

Suddenly the door opened, he
turned round to see Crystal,
her eyes were still misty. She
looked at the gun in his hand, then looked at the man on the chair.

“why did you kill him Easton,
I wanted to get out the truth
from him, he was part of the
men that killed my parents”. He felt a huge guilt surging from him,
“I wanted to get some
answers from him as well”
“then why did you kill him
Easton” “I got pissed and impatient
with him, I shot him out of
anger”

“but this was my only chance
Easton, only chance to know
the reason behind their deaths and who killed them”

”I’m sorry Crystal”,
”I need that man alive”
“he’s already dead Crystal”
“no, I want him alive”. She
rushed to the body on the chair and started hitting the
face, “wake up murderer” she
sobbed as she hit the body.
Easton watched her hit the
body for a while before going
to pull her away, “enough Crystal, he’s dead”. She turned
to him and looked at the gun
in his hand, her eyes were
blazing, her chest heaved up
and down, her hair
disheveled. “give me the gun”
“what for?”
“I said give me the gun”. He
handed the gun to her
wondering what she wanted
to do with the gun. She took it from him and faced the body. She pulled the trigger
thrice, each bullet went
through the same spot on the
chest of the body. She faced
Easton with the gun still raised.
“whoa whoa, Crystal, what
are you doing?” his hands
already lifted up
“I want to know the truth”
“what truth are you talking about”
