Natasha always felt that there was nothing in the world she could not do. Except teach.
Well, frankly it is exasperating, trying to impose upon a 5 year old that 5×10=50, while he couldn't care about it less. Teachers have the toughest jobs. And the problem with the modern world? Not many of them are doing it sincerely. That's an essay for some other day. But now explaining Sarah-the-nitwit about the entire episode was going to be a herculean task.

"Sarah, let's do something else?"

" Yeah Natasha.?? What do You want to do?"

"Something like... Survive?"

"WHAT?" shrieked Sarah.

"Listen.. Your dad's in army, right?"

"WAS", said Sarah firmly.

"Ok.So..Do-d-Do you have a gun around?"

"Yes. Let me check my pocket".

Natasha let out a small gasp of dissatisfaction.

"Control Uday..control", mouthed Natasha. What can I do to her? Can't even kill her, she does love me so much.

"Sarah, let's play hide and seek?"

"Ok. Who is gonna hide?"

"Us."

Before Sarah could come with a comeback, Natasha clamped Sarah's mouth with her hand and stove her to the Hall. Crouching behind her sofa, before Sarah could mumble, Natasha gave her a murderous look.

They waited. And waited. For complete 52 minutes.

And then Sarah knew exactly why Natasha was behaving like a person who just had too much alcohol and had been hit on the head. With a beer bottle. Period.

Jen's father rushed into the room. It was empty. He looked around embarrassingly. The situation would have been funny otherwise. He left.

Natasha came out slowly. But too soon. Just as she turned to her left she saw what killed Jen's dad. Not the full face, but the unhygienic-long-gross finger-nails, seconds before they entered her throat.

The pink shirt dude was still there. But the button said -

6 left.

She pressed it again. This time the dude gave a sigh of disappointment. He got up. Stretched a little bit. Came the blow.

Natasha had saved two lives this time. But Still not enough. As luck would have it. She had only 6 chances left. Lots of unanswered questions. Only a half naked pink dude who didn't even speak. She rolled her sleeves back, looked at Sarah and said,

"Girl, time to call Axi!"
