It was too obvious that I was going to win, but before giving the final punch a sudden curiosity invaded my mind.
What kind of question would she would ask?
It only took seconds of distraction and Anya took the opportunity to put herself at an advantage. She did a trip, put her body on mine and applied strength. Just like I taught. It immobilized me completely, there was no way to free my legs or arms and the central part of my body had to bear her weight. She put her forearm on my neck and apply a slight pressure.
- I told you.
- Go ahead, satisfy your curiosity. I swear on my soul to answer only the truth.
- It's very personal, if you don't want to answer this question I'll ask another one.
- You are beating around the bush.
- Why "homicides" appear on your history sheet?
- I should have guessed it by now... Did Dominick put worms in your head?
- No, he told me before we came to this base. Just to protect me, but you can tell me what really happened. Your truth. I will listen and try to understand your side, after all, I ripped off my boss's eye. I'm no one to judge.
- You what?
- This is not about me.Please tell me.
- Long story short, the murders I committed were never for pleasure or fun. They were just acts of survival...
- Go on please ...
- My first murder was at the age of 10. You don't know anything about my past but believe it was complicated... my brother had to steal to feed me... and one day he was caught by the owner of one of the stores... orphans are never convenient, it's easier to look the other way and pretend they don't exist... This man was going to behead my brother. The survival instinct spoke louder, if I lost Isaac I would die of hungry or cold or ... anyway, I took a hoe that was nearby... I approached him when he was on his back and sank the hoe on his head. From then on it was easier to kill when the choice was me or the other. I chose myself always.
- You did what you did to be here today.
- Yes, I'm aware that my hands are full of blood but it wasn't completely my fault... if my parents were here... if Alan was here...
- Alan ?
- Fuck ... I have to go. Tomorrow morning in the target room, right?
- Wait...
- You asked me and I answered. End of story.
