His jaw clenched in anger and his fist tighten cracking his knuckles in the process "I'm going to make y'all pay" He seethed gritting his teeth.

He wanted to arrest Sally and he had put a recording tape on his body, which recorded everything and enhanced the SWATs to hear everything said by them."This is exactly what I want to do, to finish everybody off and return to my mom."

She used that medium to run out of the restaurant, she met one of the SWATs outside waiting for them and shot him before he was able to lift his gun to shoot."Oh my gosh!

    George exchanged a look with Sally before starting his questions. "Why are you like this? You wouldn't have been born to be evil." He has been wondering about the question for a long time now and he only had time to ask about it then.Sally sighed. "That should not be your concern George but if you want to know, I was born as a sweet girl but that sweetness suddenly disappeared when my father lost his job. Your family caused that and my mom wanted revenge but couldn't do it by herself. She had been bittered since the death of my father who died recently because of the delay when ma'am Patricia opposed the marriage and got hospitalized. My mother wanted her revenge then, so she put up a test for us all which I was able to pass without much stress but I was a child that's not trusted, I was too sweet to do evil tasks, so another task was brought up which got me thinking and all that.""Do you know that I had a lover then?"

    "George?" Sally's smile dropped immediately. "What are you doing here?" She asked as she looked around, trying to detect if George was playing a prank on her."I'm here to see you, you know Chris right, don't look for someone else!" George said, snapping his fingers before her face, he noticed how she was glancing around like she was searching for someone.Sally stared back at him and watched as he pulled out a chair and made himself comfortable on it with his legs crossed on each other. "Come on Sally, why are you silent? We're here for business, then let's proceed with it or isn't that why we're here?" George asked her as he pretended to be removing the dirt from his nails.Sally laughed crankily, desiring to play smart. "What are you talking about George? We're here for business? Will you mind me asking you which business that is? Because I don't remember engaging in a business with you." She said with a fake confused look."Oh Sally! Allow me to refresh your dumb brain then.

"Look at me very well. Do you think I'm the most beautiful girl in the area?""Well." She laughed.

    "Like I was saying, you shouldn't trust these women, they are evil.

Anna, who had a soft heart, forgave Sally when Sally's Mom got involved. Sally begged her to look after Austin for the last time."Of course, they would look very harmless but they are Austin's greatest nightmare who he never prays to meet in his life again. Sally has never loved him, I can attest to that. Even Austin knows too," Josh replied as he watched Sally and her mother who had already sat on a couch in the ward."What are you suggesting I should do now?" Anna asked as he looked a
