                      Ronald POV
          She sat down on the bed curved like a frightened little child.
         Really she was an egnima.
          "I don't have any siblings" I head her say, drawing me from my thoughts. "And for parents, I don't think I have either". What was I supposed to do now . I felt like running away from here from her I was already feeling a pang of guilt but a part of me still wanted to Know about this lady in front of me so I listen to that my inner voice at least for once I wanted to act like a gentle man.
       I bent to her level squatting in front of her, I raised her chin up to face me . Tears were foaming all around her eyes I could see she was struggling hard to let them not to escape her eyes.
      "Do not fight it, I won't kill you for letting your tears to drop" I said, although I felt stupid for saying that.
       "Where are your parents?are they dead?".
         "They aren't, but trust me , they are very bad people". She said letting the tears flow down her cheeks.
          "Won't you want to go back to them?, Am ready to release you".
          " Please, am ready to endure whatever you want to do to me but I don't want to go back". I looked at her opening my mouth in awe .
         I could be a devil at any point, I've treated her bad so many times, I've even killed In front of her, why is she refussing to leave here.
       Something fishy must be going on.
     "Why don't you want to go back, you Know am a very bad person right?. "
        "Yes, but not as bad as they are, they are very very bad".
         I drew a badanna from my pocket and thank goodness they are of use today. I dabbed the badanna on her cheeks then her eyes before giving it to her to do the rest.
       "Will you tell me what they did to you, or..........." .she started crying all over again then I suddenly shut my damn mouth. I allowed her to finish crying. After moment of silence she Finally said something."why are you being nice to me?".
        Was she really asking me that. Cause even I don't have that answer.
        "Act of humanity I guess"
        "Why didn't you apply that same humanity to that poor girl you killed and the thousands you might have killed too". She was seriously hitting my hot spot.
          "Humanity wasn't applied to me too but you are fortunate am showing you a bit of my humanity". I wasn't comfortable with this issue directing to me it was giving me bad memories. The ones I've tried hard to erase for years now.
        We were silent, I hope to change this conversation, she wasn't comfortable for me asking her about her problems and am not comfortable with her talking about this turning the tables around.
         "Ronald, we've caught the men" . Carlos came in,  informing me and giving me a look to follow him. I will get the clearer picture now . I needed to see those fucking bitches coming to my territory.
         "We haven't finished these yet. I'll be back". I said, giving her a reassuring look before leaving with carlos.I could see him giving me a suspicious look. But I didn't care right  now .
         Trust me , those bitches won't have any mercy.
