My Retribution

Part 60

Becky's POV

I woke up and I'm lying in our living room. Oh yeah, after Freen sent me home I continued my sleep here on the sofa. I can still remember Freen's gentle touch and sweet kiss as she bids me goodbye. I woke up smiling as I stretched my body. I stood up and went inside my room as I decided to take a shower. I just finished showering when I heard our doorbell ringing. I went downstairs to look at it. When I saw that it was Liza I immediately got out.

Becky: (bowing her head) Good evening, Liza. To what do I owe the pleasure?

Liza: (bowing back to Becky) Hello.

I signaled her to come in and she did. I let her sit on the sofa as I smiled at her. Waiting for her to talk. She suddenly felt uneasy and nervous. We had a staring contest for a while. Since she doesn't want to speak, I'll go first.

Becky: (smiling) May I know why you're here?

Liza: (clearing her throat) Can I be honest?

Becky: (confused) Sure

Liza: (serious) I need your help.

I was surprised that she was asking for my help so I looked at her and saw that she's tired. Her eyes are puffy. Like she's been crying for a while now. I sat closer to her thinking that it might give her some sort of comfort. Its where I noticed that she's trying her best not to cry.

Becky: (confused and worried) How can I help you?

Liza: (serious voice) First let's make a deal.

I felt Liza's seriousness with her every word. She's nervous and scared. Why would she come into my home and ask for a deal? Just what the hell is happening?

Becky: (confused) What kind of deal?

Liza: (serious) I will give you vital information that will help you in your brother's case and in everything else, in return I will be under your care. I will work under you and you provide me protection?

A bomb just fell into me and I was shocked at the same time very confused. I then gave her a suspicious look. I want to know who tortured my brother but what does Liza know?

Becky: (taken aback) Wait, wait, wait, what? What do you know about my brother's case and how do you know them and why would I give you protection?

I sensed Liza's body language changed. Her face became suddenly serious. She sat straight and looked directly into my eyes.

Liza: I will start answering your questions if we have a deal.

Okay, now Liza's messing with me. It's the only reason that I can think of that makes sense to me.

Becky: (laughing) Okay, I'm not really in the condition to talk and to make a deal. Why don't you come back tomorrow?

Liza: (serious voice) If I get out of this house. I'll be dead Rebecca.

What the hell? Why would she die? Is this some sort of a prank? Is she really messing with me? If she is, why would she joke about her safety? Why would she joke about dying? I'm fucking confused, the more I talk to her the more confused I get.

Becky: Look, Liza. You sound crazy right now. Please. Let's take a rest first, you also need it. You can come again tomorrow and we can talk okay?

I looked at her with so much seriousness. She stayed silent for a while looking at me. She then sighed in defeat and looked at me sincerely.

Liza: (sincere) Okay. I understand. I'm sorry to drop this on you like this. If it is in different circumstances I would approach you better. I just have one favor to ask. If you find me dead tomorrow. Please do everything in your power to let Freen see me first I don't care what happens to my body after, burn or bury it, it doesn't matter. Just please let her see me first and tell her I'm sorry, I failed. That's all I'm asking. Please Rebecca.
