Chapter 4B: Innocent or liar

Aaron walked towards and took away the knife from his hand. He was also present in that room the whole time, standing in the darkness. He opened the curtains.

The sudden light blinded him, and that guy looked away as he shut his eyes tightly. He looked back in that same direction after blinking a few times. That guy in front of him was giant, his muscles well built, and eyes fierce. He looked angry; it gave him chills.

"Well, you're some interesting guy." Amy whispered into his ear as she came near him from behind, her face over his shoulder. He flinched and moved away, scooping into the corner of the chair.

"W...who are you...?" He asked hesitantly.

"The one you wanted to meet..." She answered as she walked around him, now standing in front of him; he gave her a confused look.

"I don't even know you." He said in his defense.

Aaron was about to step forward to punch him across the face to make him spill the truth, but Amy stopped him.

"What were you doing in this forest?" She asked him calmly, and Aaron was left shocked by her reaction, but he could tell she was up to something.

"I...I was running away...from the police..." He said, and it seemed like he was having a hard time remembering everything. He stuttered and paused a lot of times.

"Well, maybe I asked the wrong question... Who are you?" She said, and her expression became pretty cold. It made him shiver with fear.

He looked down and took a deep breath before looking up again.

"My name is Samuel. I'm a thief....and I...I recently stole a precious diamond from an auction and....that's why the police were chasing me...You can say that I'm a wanted criminal...I was desperate to get away from them and that's why entered this forest without realizing that it was it banned to other people..." He explained everything slowly, and Aaron didn't believe a word he said.

"Is that all?" Amy said calmly, leaving Aaron confused and curious about what she was thinking of doing next.

"Yeah...I swear...I didn't do it intentionally." He said and looked embarrassed.

"So why did you try to attack my people?" She asked him as she took out her gun. She seemed to be having fun, playing with him making him fear death.

He was avoiding eye contact with her, for her eyes were what scared the hell out of people.

"I...I thought they were with the police." Sam replied.

"Are you lying?" Amy asked and came closer to his face. Her eyes gave off the dark energy that sent chills down his spine. Aaron smiled, for this looked more like Amy, cold and brutal.

"No...mam..." He answered and was stuttering because of fear.

"Fine then..." She stood straight and turned around.

"Aaron, give him a room and he works under you from now. He's not allowed to leave this place and nor is he allowed to contact anyone. Kill him if he does something suspicious." She said and walked out of that room. Sam looked relieved after hearing that, for he had thought that it would be his last day on earth.

"What?!" Aaron said in a loud voice. He was shocked by her words and followed her, leaving Sam still tied to the chair.

"Hey! Untie me first!" Sam shouted at him and was completely ignored.

"Amy, what the hell are you doing?" He asked her. They were now outside that room; the door was shut already, and thus Sam couldn't hear them.

The other three were waiting for them outside; they were confused and surprised to see Aaron talking to Amy in that tone.

Amy ignored them and started walking towards the exit. The interrogation room was situated in the basement. They all followed her.

"You're sparing his life just like that. Don't you see how suspicious he is?" He almost shouted as he followed her closely.

"What?!" You spared his life?" Jane asked in surprise, for it was nothing like her. Amy didn't reply and kept walking.

"Didn't you say that he was a spy...a threat to us?" Theo added and was equally surprised as others.

"Amy, when did you become so kind?" Levi asked. They all were left dumbfounded by her actions.

"And tell me do you seriously believe the bullshit he just said?" Aaron asked in a serious tone.

"When did I say I believed anything he said...?" She answered bluntly, leaving all of them shocked to the core.

They all were worried about nothing. It was Amy, after all; she always did the unexpected. She didn't believe him at all, but instead of forcing him to tell the truth, she was luring him into her territory. Making him believe, that she trusted him. She was pretending to be a dumb person while in reality, she was the ruler of the game and could kill him anytime she wanted.
