“Lewis, what the hell are you doing?”
The moment they fell into the trap, Sam instantly rolled over to pin Lewis down with his knees. He held Lewis by the neck with his hands and looked insanely furious.
“Sam, let go of me…oh…”
Lewis couldn’t breathe and instinctively tried to strangle Sam with his hands too. They got into a fight wrestling with each other.
However, Lewis, who was more than fifty years old now, was obviously no match for Sam physically. He struggled several times before Sam pushed him hard against the ground and he couldn’t move at all.
“Tell me, who is responsible for the plot today? You or Cindy?”
Sam was burning with rage. Besides, he had drunk a lot of wine during lunch. He practically had lost control and Lewis was rolling his eyes because of his tightening grip. He certainly couldn’t answer any of Sam’s questions.
“It’s me!”
Just then, there came a familiar and cold female voice from above.
Sam trembled at the voice. He looked up and saw Cindy standing at the edge of the trap with a hunting gun in her hands which was pointed right at Sam.
“Cindy, you…Ah…”
Sam was shocked, confused and horrified, but before he could finish his sentence, the gun was fired. Cindy pulled the trigger without any hesitation and shot at his chest. He screamed and rolled down from Lewis.
“Why, why are you killing me?”
Sam stared at her in disbelief with wide open eyes. His face turned ashy and his chest was covered in blood.
“Don’t hate me. It’s your fault. Look at yourself. You’re not worthy of me at all. You took my body and I’m taking your life. It’s a fair deal.” Cindy put her gun away calmly and concluded.
She had grown up in the mountains and learnt how to shoot as a little girl under her father’s guidance. She had been bold enough to go hunting alone in the mountains with a gun when she was less than ten years old. She had killed countless wild animals. Now in her view, Sam was just another animal in human form at best. She wasn’t panicked or scared at all when she found she had killed Sam with a gun.
