Showcase (2/2)

"I'm not really sure if I should…"

For the first time ever since we started working together, Pavlo hesitated before fulfilling my order. But frankly speaking, I couldn't really blame him for it. From his perspective, it most likely looked as if I was just standing there defiantly with nothing to protect myself, while asking him to shoot me. In such a situation, it actually made me pretty happy to see him not reaching for the gun on the table.

"Trust me. Do I look like someone who has a death wish? And to be frank, I can't really shoot myself here, as the barrier is just slightly longer than my hands. It has to be someone else."
