Retaliation

"Then…" I felt useless. What should we do then? Would any of my plans work?

I looked at my hands as they were fisting, and my nails were hurting my skin.

He looked at me as if understanding the frustration in my heart. I was indeed disappointed and angry. So angry for not being able to just meet that thing and kill it with my bare hands… no scratch that, that would be horrible, maybe just a shot in the head and that will be.

"What else can we do then?"

I know he would not ask me to come here if he hadn't had another plan or a request.

He took my hand and looked at me in the eye. I know what is he going to ask me, but I will have to refuse, "Please Eva…" he said with pleading eyes. "Just don't hurt her."
