The Soul With in You

Chapter 10 Trust is not Easy

We were in the kitchen and I was making some dinner to eat. Gaby, Louis and Ivan were talking about my new BMW which I kinda got bored of their conversation and drift off to my own world. I was making eggs. I saw how the bubbles surround the white tips of the eggs. Suddenly a memory flashed through my head.

~ Memory ~

I was throwing away all the things Ivan had gave me. It was worthless having this here. I was about to throw in the last one which was a photo of us when we first met. I noticed something strange. In the back of the picture you could hear a little beat noise. I turned it around and in less then seconds I knew what it was.

"Bomb." I whispered as I dropped on the ground and ran out my room. Right when I got to my door the bomb explode. I could feel the heat in the back of me. Rushing towards me trying to get an inch of my skin. I fell to the ground. I have to get out of here I thought. I was coughing none stop but I tried to push myself up but my feet were asleep. I used my hands to slide myself to the ground. I was almost there. Then a shadow appeared running towards me. It was my boss.

"Karen! Come on. Give me your hands!" he yelled. I extended both of my hands. My vision was getting blurry. My boss carried me out and finally I could breath fresh air. The paramedics and the firefighters were here. They were trying to turn off the fire. The paramedics put me in a little bed and took me to the hospital. I lost my consciousness and then hours later I was in a hospital room. Well I think hours passed.....I don't think I was gone for a day. Wires were all connected around my body.

"Don't panic. it's not good for you." said my boss. My eye's focused on him. He was sitting in a couch. He stood up and came closer to me.

"Can you explain to me what happened?" he whispered.

"I.....I don't know Brett I was just.....cleaning and the object was beeping but I wasn't sure where the sound was coming from until I finally where it came from. It was from that object but it was too late, I only had a few seconds to evacuate." I whispered back. Brett looked outside my door and slowly closed the door. He came closer to me.

"Look, I went back to your house and I got the bomb USB and checked it out." he said. He looked down and sighed.

"What did you find out? Tell me!" I said. He took a deep breath and looked at me.

"That USB was from Ivan." said Brett. My heart dropped. What? No.....that has to be a mistake, why would Ivan want to kill me?

"Brett.....there has to be a mistake. I'm no longer dating him. It has been a week since I haven't see him." I answered.

"Well........I'm sorry to break but......after you recover, we need to go after him and if you find him please call me as soon as possible. I found out that in Ivan's background he is a member of the Bamorra organization that sells weapons and is well known for drugs. Karen........he planned this in order to get to our system. You cannot trust him.Promise me." said Brett. I looked at him as tears were forming in my eye's.

"I promise." I said.

"Karen?" said Ivan as he touched my hand. I gasped and looked at him.

"Are you okay?" he asked.
