THE WATCHMAN

Double trouble

Susan was held in a small room that was pitch black, there was no natural light allowed into the room except for the tiny fluorescent bulb at the middle of the room which was dimly lit.

She neither knew the difference between night and day. From time to time meals were brought to her, which she often refused to eat.

She would cry till she had no strength as she kept about Antonios' death all day long all night.

Through her sorrows, she never forgot her vow to avenge the death of her lover. "Lord Murillo, you have taken that which is most important to me and I promise you I will take the life of that which seems most important to you!" She said in her heart.

The only problem was that she had no idea how to get out of the cell she was placed in. The metal doors were automatically opened by special keys to which she had no access. She would have to bide her time before she made her next move.

Suddenly she heard the guard's footsteps hurry away from her. A few moments later, someone slipped something under the door.

She got up from her bed and walked towards the door. It was a card, a door key! "Could this be the key to my cell door?" She thought to herself... "It could be a trap!" she thought again. Any attempt she made to escape could lead to her death she knew that much. Lord Murillo was probably setting her up for her death.

"Who's there?" She inquired. "I'm not falling for your tricks!" she blurted out, but there was no response.

She looked at the key one more time then decided against jumping the bait and went back and sat on her bed.

"How do you mean Antonio Jr is nowhere to be found?" Lord Murillo asked, visibly disturbed. "He cannot just disappear from the whole building without being detected by our security systems!" Lord Murillo continued but he was still wary of the object piercing his neck

"Well, I think we need to handle both situations at the same time". Duchess Murillo said, referring to Antonio Jr.'s disappearance and Lord Murillos' capture.

"Please lead the way..." Sergio Angel said to the Duchess.

Duchess Murillo turned around to walk out of the door and then...

Bang! Bang!! Bang!!!

Three shots fired straight at her chest and she dropped dead to the ground.
