Heads Or Tails?

Him

I approached the cliff. Shaking, we set into position. "Are you ready?"

"Ready for what?" A suspicious hand wrapped across my throat and Coquina was held back and placed into a cage, driven away. I could hear her growling as if she was screaming for me.
I bit his gloved fingers and flew off the cliff. Pluming to the earth below, I knew it was the last of me.

Weirdly, my landing was soft and a bit hard, other than a never ending pain that would be struggle to live my daily life in a wheelchair. But no. I had a perfect landing, on a picnic. I stood uncertainly and glared down at where I fell. I had landed on a picnic basket! But there was only one person there. He glared at me with a smile, and said,
"Hello great angel from above. My name is Rickie. Nice to meet you."
I replied, "Greatest sir, I am ever so not an angel, falling from the cliff in great terror."
"You certainly behave sure like one, I suppose. What is this name if yours?"
"My name is Violetta."
"What a beautiful name!"
"Thank you. Your ever so kind, indeed so."
"So, what was the story before you fell of the cliff?''
I told him everything, and he decided he wanted to help Coquina too.
"I want to help. I know everything about him - I worked for him."
My eyebrows shot up and lost interest suddenly. Then he carried on, "I didn't like to be called his slave so I did something to not help him. Every animal that was put for testing in the chamber, I would let them free because I was in charge. And I always got away with it."
"So you can show me where he works?"
"Any time, girl. Nice meeting you."
