Encounter-4

She didn't fear death. However, the disgust in his eyes made her feel like some kind of thrash. Her heart was heavy. It's been several years since she was carrying a secret burden. With time, it only got heavy and at the current moment, she was at her limits. With no power to carry it anymore, she tossed the burden. 

Loudly she once again admitted.

"Yes, Yes I did kill Lan. Was this the answer you wanted to hear?"

"Then, I did kill him but…" she choked.

Her sudden scream stunned Henry.  It was the second time he had ever seen Crystal losing her composure. And the word but, once again made him feel threatened. 

What should he do, if the words coming from her mouth turned true?

"I killed him because I had to. I had too" More and more tears spilled from her eyes.
