What Am I To You?

"What happened, exactly?"

Meenakshi inquired anxiously, her feet tapping the floor in a particular rhythm of their own. 

"Meenakshi, calm down. We're safe. That's the most important thing right now."

"No dad. It's not. I need to know how Danny and his daughter planned to attack you guys. How can they? How dare they?"

She slammed her fist on the table, shaking the glass jar out of its silent stature. 

"Actually, the attack happened before we entered the house. The main door was locked, but the windows were open. That gave us the suspicion that maybe there's an intruder in our house. And Dimitri's men accompanied us. So naturally, before the intruders could think of attacking, they were shot dead."

Meenakshi held her anxious gaze on him, trying to get some idea about why the attack happened so suddenly and what if Dimitri's men couldn't make it on time? What if?
