How I Bring In A New Member

I doubted that it was the same person, the footsteps guy. I leveled my gun at him.

"Don't be scared." He raised his hands in a placating gesture.

"If you take one more step, I'll pepper holes in your body. By the way, I'm not scared."

"Then I should, don't shoot." He joined hands as if pleading. His expression didn't look like he was scared of my threats.

"Are you gonna come close?" I asked, just to keep the conversation going until I figured out how to escape.

"No, I won't."

"Then I won't shoot." I shrugged.

"Then I should say, please listen to me."

"You'd be dead if I wasn't listening." I rolled my eyes.

"Oh c'mon. Those lasers can't kill." He laughed.

My eyes widened. How did he know that? Who was he? Why was he here? Did he lead me here? But for what purpose? All these questions were nagging at me from everywhere. His statement about the lasers had made me realize that I was in danger.
