bullet had met Sarah.............
The loud BANG was enough to wake up the whole world and Alex included.His eyes shuffled open; he was blinded for a second until his eyes adjusted, and he took in his settings he was sitting inside an under constructed building it seemed hollow from above the walls were just made of bricks and a white bulb hanging above lighted the room. His attention to the front a tall man stood their in a black hoodie a bill of black p-cap coming out of the hoodie, he was wearing black sweat pants but what caught his attention the most was the gun in his hand pointed beside Alex he looked over there to see someone's lifeless body laid there .
Her face wasn't visible to her but he was sure that man in front of him had shot her he turned his attention towards him "who are you" he spoke in a sleepy bored voice not afraid for some reason.
"oh look who woke up from his deep slumber" gunman turned towards Alex an evil smirk spreading on his lips
"who are you"
"let's see..someone your girlfriend no more like your late girlfriend clearly knew"
"girlfriend" he was dumbfounded "...... Sarah....." he turned towards the life less body that can't be Sarah no and that can't be "......gunman..." realization washed over him.
"well it took you long enough to recognize" still in the playful mood he was sure of his victory today.
"why did you have to kill her"
"well let's check. she recognized me she knew I kidnapped you she was aware that i killed your father she payed the price" he honestly more like boldly confessed.
"you killed my father" he knew gunman would definitely do something to him but he didn't think he would kill his father, pain anger vengeance different emotions took over his heart." why did you have to kill him....uncle" gunman's eyes widened a bit for a second than moved away a small movement difficult to catch but Alex had caught it he was seeing too intensely "... he was your brother you don't kill your family"
"don't talk like a naive 5 year old unaware of the world, everything is fair in war and this war started decade before you were born"
"you are going to kill me just for that company"
'i want that company" he screamed like a little kid throwing a tantrum. he aimed the gun at Alex ready to shoot.
"not so fast" two voices spoke at once grabbing their attention
Mr Parker came inside the building with two man stalling behind him gun pointed at gunman "hands up weapons down" his voice boomed inn the empty building.
Gunman made for a run he ran past him but Sarah-owner of the second voice- pulled his legs from below and he fell face first; gun flying in another direction.
Mr. Parker came to rescue he handcuffed the gunman's hands from behind."and pulled him up "you are arrested for two murders and two attempted murder you ain't coming back from prison"
But the gunman was still stunned he stared at Sarah dumbfounded "I just shot you how come you are still alive"
Sarah stood up and came towards him "you really think you are smart don't you but guess what i'm still two steps ahead of you" Mr Parker pulled the stunned gunman away with that. Sarah turned to another stunned face tied to the chair "no seriously how are you still alive"Alex spoke in amazement.
"long story shot, gunman kidnapped me asked me to kidnap you or die I went to Mr Parker to help me and catch the real culprit he gave me a bulletproof jacket we installed a recorder inside your jacket he stood out there we needed a confession and luckily it wasn't that hard"
He gaped at her with open mouth"do you need help there" she pointed at the ropes.
"oh yeah thanks" he came back to the world.

They both walked on the empty streets it was drizzling not a car in sight; they had hot chocolates in their hands; they walked in a comforting silence. It was a heavy day for both of them but they were finally free; it had been more than an hour since the gunman was caught and for them it was still too good to be true and hard to believe.
Their silence was disturbed by Sarah's phone call she took it out from her pocket"it's Mr.Parker" she said staring at the screen.
"pick it up " Alex spoke from beside her.
She received the call and put it on speaker "hello Mr.Parker".
"hello Sarah, I have a good news and a bad news for you both" they both looked at each other unaware
"what Mr. Parker" Sarah's curiosity spoke
"the good news is the gunman was sentenced to jail"
"oh that's great and the bad news"
"he committed suicide in the jail" with that the phone was cut
"they both stared at each other not knowing either to feel happy that they got rid of gunman or to feel sorry for the gunman"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was a new day she walked happily in the office corridor she was a bit late she had slept in; she slept peacefully last night without being afraid of gunman.
The office was crowded and noisier today but she was okay with that her mood wasn't cranky today, she was going straight to the glass door in front-Alex's office.
She went inside to see Alex's back who was staring in the mirror in front of him he could see the staff working behind the glass door in the wall mirror.
"good morning sir"Sarah spoke grabbing his attention . He swiveled their chair around looking at Sarah -his hair styled back with gel he was wearing a light blue suit, he was smiling today in a good mood like Sarah"good morning Sarah, look's like someone slept in"
"it's been along time since I last slept in"
"I can understand that"he slightly shuddered
"so what's on the list today sir"
"firstly we will be having an interview of a new guard since the last one was killed by gunman i want you to take his interview and check his resume and all; I have to attend a meeting so you handle it"
"yes sir, when will he be arriving"
"he will be here anytime it's nine already"
Sarah glanced at the mirror behind him lost in a daze when something out of place caught her eyes.
It was the gunman he stood out in the room smiling at her he looked more dangerous and fiercer than ever,
"gunman ........"Sarah murmured before fainting on the floor.
