You could see it, in her eyes. The greed for money. It was as if she hadn't eaten in days and money was her only food.
As she pulled the gun on him, a drip of sweat trinkled down her pale white face. Her dark brown eyes were focused on the prize. It was as if she was a lioness watching her prey.
She knew she didn't have long and that made her hesitate more on wether to pull the trigger.
Her heart raced faster and faster as time grew nearer.
"Just tell me where the money is, or i will pull the trigger right now!" she cried.
"It, It's over there! In the bag." he stuttered nervously.
"Please let me go." he pleaded as she walked over to get the money.
"You are no use to me anymore! I might as well shoot you." she announced.
"No! Please, I have a family at home!" he shouted.
"Oh, It's always the same story," she said as she cocked the gun "I think i will take my money now."
Chapter 2.
It was 8am and Scarlett had just woken up.
She had the most horrific scene playing over and over in her head. She wished it wasn't her who was holding the gun, but she knew it was.
A wave of fear took hold of Scarlett's body. It was like a a drop drop of ink in a glass of water that was spreading ever so quickly.
She immediately turned on the news to see there, in bold writing 'PAUL TIMMS SHOT DEAD!'
Her heart raced once again and her rosy red lips trembled with the thought of what would happen to her if she was ever found out.
She didn't know how she could have done such a thing. With the hype of it all she collapsed to the floor and sat there for hours with no exspression what-so-ever on her face. It was like she had seen a ghost.
She sat there as if she were a statue, or if she was a woman in a painting. Always stuck in time with no movement.
The silence in the room was broken when there was a loud knock at the door.
