"Because your PARENTS ARE ALREADY DEAD GOD DAMN IT!!!!" Lilly huffed out of frustration on seeing how all the the filthy things Mr.Kim had done was for nothing. Atleast he could have made an attempt to enquire about his parents where abouts rather than blindly trusting whoever he was working for.
While on the other side Mr.Kim was thuderstruck which lead him into sickened condition. His mouth was wide open and tears were threatening to spill out from his eyes. "Y-You gotta be kidding right?" He asked with his trembling lips.
Lilly bit the inside her cheeks, avoiding his eyes. She turned around, walked over to the table and came back to him with a pair of files in her hands while he was desperatly waiting for her to say that it was all a lie.
Lilly hesitated a little, not knowing on how to tell him but she had to anyway. There was a long pause. She handed him the file while staring at the floor, not wanting to look into his eyes that she knew were about to shatter. "This file contains your parent's death certificate and further reports about their condition at the time of death"
Mr.Kim was horrified! It was as if the impact had knocked every wisp of air from his lungs. He forgot to breath as an enormous lump formed in his throat, his body didn't even dare to move a muscle. His eyes slowly turned red showing a hint of anger also at the same time the shiny tears started welling up threatening to glide down to his cheeks making him look so weak. He tried to remember how to breathe, unabled to speak, completely devasted as her words kept on bouncing inside his skull. Unknowingly a few sobs left his mouth as he couldn't control them anymore. He didn't even dare to open the files which were in his hands "N-No this can't be real! If this is just a trick to get me, just DON'T! I'LL SURRENDER NOW b-but please tell me this isn't true ! TELL ME!!" His words turned into whispers while he sobbed.
Lilly just bent her head low not knowing how to handle the situation. With a very painful heart Mr.Kim slowly opened the file with his trembling hands, his eyes were all blur due to his tears, making it tough for him to see those tiny printed letters on those documents but as soon as he found out that it was indeed his parent's certificate he repeatedly shaked his head in disbelief with an unblinking stare "NOO!" He gasped as he broke down and fell on to the ground sobbing harder. He clutched the files tighter towards his chest. His eyes were bloodshot "WHY?" He shrieked.
Seeing him in such a horrible condition brought a lump in her throat, she tried to gulp it off but utterly failed as a tear coursed down her cheeks. Being a slave, being used, being played for years to save your loved ones, just to know that they were long gone at the end would rip off one's heart.
His sobs grew a little louder, he didn't even care about looking weak infront of a woman. All that mattered was that he lost one of the main reason that kept him alive for all these days in this cruel world.
Lilly slowly walked towards the glass windows that reflected the whole city's view, she controlled herself from breaking down hearing his weak cries while he hardly tried to catch his breaths. Lilly pressed her lips and closed her eyes for a few seconds before letting out a long sigh knowing it wasn't the time for tears.
Lilly looked back at Mr.Kim's awful condition, his eyes were all drenched with his tears, he looked so pale and weak. She slowly made her way towards him. "Time is like a river Mr.kim, You cannot touch the same water twice because the flow that has passed will never pass again. Words seem so feeble in times like these. The depth of your pain, I cannot comprehend but the only thing I want to say is you still have a way to get out of this darkness"
Mr.Kim's weak gaze shifted towards her "W-What else is left? I lost everything and there's no point in my existence now!" He whimpered.
"Its not as easy as we say Mr.Kim ! Do you think your parents would appreciate If you end your story like that? It is only in our darkest hours that we may discover the true strength of the brilliant light within ourselves that can never ever be dimmed" She tried to bring up a ray of confidence in him but he was too angry and depressed to notice.
"What else is left for me to do?"
"You got three options Mr.Kim
No.1 - You sound like you don't want to live anymore and I can help you with that. I can fullfill your wish and clean up the scene here before Jordan arrives anyway" Lilly stated while taking out her gun.
"No.2 - You'll get arrested for your filthy crimes and will rot behind the bars.
And lastly No.3 which is my favorite one - I'll get you out from all this shit you got youself into, I'll clean up all your shady things so you can live your life like before but all you have to do is to work for me".
Mr.Kim was in a complete dilemma hearing her last words . "Work for you? W-What's the point of it? And what should I do?"
"Okay the first thing you gotta do is to stop asking questions! I want each and every detail about the people you worked for!" She declared.
"B-But why?" Mr.Kim questioned again.
"That's because I'm gonna help you to take revenge on them!" She said.
Mr.Kim choked on his saliva and caughed a few times "R-Revenge? Y-You d-don't know what you are talking about. That's impossible because they are too big to destroy, They have enormous network with mafia. They are untouchable and we are nothing infront of them!"
Lilly scoffed at him "Never underestimate a bullet just because its tiny Mr.Kim ...Once the bullet hits the right spot, it has the capacity to end a precious life, no matter how big it is. So what do you say?" She waited for his answer but there was nothing but silence from him.
She rolled her eyes before huffing. "Okay! Then rotting in jail it is!" She turned around to leave.
"O-Okay wait! B-but-" Mr.Kim got panicked and stuttered.
She smirked on hearing him and turned back around. "Anyhow you got your hands dirty Mr.kim and now I want you to REPEAT it but for a good cause!"
"W-What do you mean by repeat? Do I have to kill somebody again?" He gulped.
"May be or may be not! But all I can guarantee you is that you'll die in peace without any regrets about your parents!" She assured him with a stern look on her face.
Mr.Kim struggled to take his decision.
"Aye, this so annoying! You never stepped back while killing Tony for your parents but now you are hesitating to join hands to end the one who destroyed your life? I'm sorry but this offer only lasts for next three seconds and then we are done! Three..Two..On-"
"I'm in!" Mr.Kim answered with a hint of confidence in his voice. He gritted his teeth in anger remembering about his parent's sufferings.
Lilly's lips curled into a smug smile "Now you gotta tell me where the money is so we'll inform the police and get the money back, settle everything before Jordan comes back"
Mr.Kim's brows forrowed in confusion "Inform police? You won't take the money?"
" I won't take the money. I'm here to take lives!"
