Lin all tired and weak, from the torture she had gone through for the past days, now tied to a pole right at the edge of the cliff, looked up to her killer who was standing some meters away, and asked faintly 
"Why do I have to be put through all this?"
"Am just carrying out an assignment."
 the killer responded, with no sign of sympathy whatsoever. 
Lin stared at her killer, obviously the masked figure wasn't going to show her any form of mercy. 
Already tired of life and had given up, she asked her killer one last time.
 "You really think, my dad is going to let y'all go after am dead?".
The killer gave an evil grin. "Seems you have so much confidence in your dad..."
 He said clicking his teeth, and after exhaling.
"Your dad wants you dead sweetheart."
He said bluntly, dropping the bombshell,  leaving Lin in utter shock and confusion.
"That can't be true." 
She whispered although she could hear the doubt in her own voice, as the tears flowed from her already weary eyes down to her cheeks.
She really didn't want to believe this but something was starting to make sense to her..She had gone through a lot already "Just end this please." 
She said exhaling deeply, as she closed her eyes.
She could hear the echo of the gunshot as she waited patiently the bullet to pierce for through her... 
Yet nothing came through, she couldn't feel any form of pain or sting...
"Isn't it meant to hurt a little?..
Or is she dead already.."
She thought, as she slowly opened her eyes... 
What she saw was overwhelming...
 Her killer was on the floor instead...
She scanned around, and that's when she saw a young man coming towards her... As the person came closer, she started to notice, that the person was also having feminine characteristics.... 
Wait that was a lady, looking really masculine....
Clad in all black, high boots, and a neat cut...
She was lost in the eyes of this stranger and hadn't noticed that the lady had started to untie her. 
"What's going on?" 
A very confused Lin whispered,  
"Just follow me."
 The lady replied as she loosened the last knots that held Lin to the pole.
Already freed Lin tried to take a step but stumbled. 
The lady turned and gave a smirk.
"You were quite strong at first."
 And before Lin could fathom what she said, she swept her off her feet. And whispered, 
"Am not letting you go this time."
