Pearl took out a glass of liquor from her cabinet. Then she walked towards Jason who was seated on the bed. She sat beside him and crossed her legs. There was a small table before her. There were two glass cups and a saucer which contained half smoked cigarettes and stubbed out ones. She poured the liquor into the cups, one after the other.
Then she took one and handed the other to Jason. He just looked at the glass, then at her.
"What games are you playing with me Pearl"
"What are you talking about" She said, rolling her eyes as she took an innocent sip from her drink. Jason took the two cups and kept it back on the table.
"We need to talk" Jason said.
Pearl gave him that sexy look again.
"Well that's something new. Believe me Jason I'm so confused right now" she took out a new pack of cigarettes, pulled out one and lit it. Her fingers worked so quickly. "Because I don't know what we should be talking about. I have no business with my father's murderer"
Jason just raised a brow up. He frowned. "But with your Sister's abductor?"
She puffed out smoke from her mouth, the cigarette between her two fingers. "I had earlier wanted you to rot in jail. But after finding out that you're a man of importance and a man of influential wealth, I decided to spare myself the trouble"
"How did you find me"
"That's for me to keep confidential and for you to mind your business"
"You're here for only one purpose and that's to get your sister. And I have her in my custody..."
She just smiled and puffed out spirals of smoke from her mouth.
"So .....she's still alive"
"And if your intention was to take her away...I'm sorry to disappoint you but that can't happen"
Pearl laughed. It was a maniac laugh.
"Do you know the money I had to waste just to find out that your real name wasn't even Adrian Barnes. I knew the hell I went through just to make sure that no matter what, I had to find my sister. And you're here telling me that I can't have her"
"Yes"
Pearl went over to her drawer and pulled out something black and shiny from it. It was a gun.
Jason was surprised that she had something so deadly with her. But he was not scared even as she came close to him on the bed.
Slowly, Pearl straddled him on the bed. Jason shot her a surprised glance but he didn't push her off.
Swishing her wet hair backwards, she leaned her face close to his and placed the mouth of the gun on the tip of his nose. Jason looked down at it and looked at her.
"Do you know what this is"
She asked, her voice smooth and seductive.
"I should be asking you that same question Pearl" Jason said, not tearing his gaze from hers, not a single sign of fear shown on his face. "I don't think you know what you're carrying there"
Pearl smiles and loaded the gun right in front of him, then she placed the gun beside his forehead and used the other hand to put across his neck, down his back.
".....Maybe you know what this is but let me remind you what it's used for. A gun is used to kill people. Not just any ordinary person. People you feel that pose a threat to your life. People you think that might be an obstacle on your way to obtaining power" , She uses the gun to caress his face looking at his lips absent-minded as her voice softened. "People like my sister".
