- Don ' t worry honey.. We won ' t be late..
She tried to smile while holding the little girl ' s hand.. Through her black sunglasses she could see worry in her innocent face.. She was still a child who wasn ' t ready for any of this.. She would probably freeze from fear in the bloody place even if no one hurt her, and maybe her heart will actually stop causing a disaster..
- " Mourad ".. Time isn ' t too late.. We can still back away..
She whispered to him, while keeping an eye on the girl who went to chase a colored butterfly that sneaked to the place.. He didn ' t even look at her while standing up:
- Sorry.. The young lady will rest for few days at my place till her parents pay the bloody money, then she ' ll return to them safe and sound, and we shall be rich enough to get a fresh new start, which is considered to be a happy ending for everyone.. So can you stop playing the role of the pessimistic character for a minute..? What can possibly go wrong..?
Not knowing what to say, she decided to shut up.. Maybe if she just stayed quiet and stopped her brain- which took her to hell- from working for a while, things can actually go fine and the story ends with a happy ending like he was saying..?
That was when she heard the gun shots..!!
