It was 7:00 pm when Anthonio stepped into my room. Scared, I adjusted and stood up. He wore a pair
of trousers and a singlet. He'd changed the strap on his wound.
"Prepare tonight for your meeting with the boss tomorrow."
"You mean, prepare for my death," I replied and he just stared at me. "H...how's your wound?"
"Better than yesterday."
"And you thought I wanted to poison you," I muttered.
"One never knows."
"Yeah right." my gaze dropped to my intermingled fingers. I couldn't lie. I was scared. I was afraid.In a few hours, I'd probably be raped and killed. I suddenly felt dizzy and sat on the couch again.
"It shouldn't bother you." his voice made me look up.
"What?"
"Tomorrow."
"Stop telling me that."
"Everything will go well. Trust me."
I stared at him, lost. He stared back, looking me in the eyes and making me flinch a little. The liar had a
very convincing look.
"I won't be fooled a second time."
"I received a bullet because of you. The least you can do is believe me."
I was silent.
"Fine," I said. "I trust you."
I lied, just so he could stop intimidating me. I wasn't comfortable with him around.
"Don't lie to me. By the way, it's your choice. I won't force you."
He was good. I could not lie to him.
"The thing is, I don't see why I should trust you."
He stared silently and then turned to leave.Before going out of the room, he said:
"Good point."
I stared at him as he walked out.
How could someone be so, odd?
