Red Scorpion

They told me if I knew what was good for me I'd deliver the girl to them. They didn't mention they intended to kill her. They'd kill her because she had the misfortune to be in the wrong place at the right time and saw something she was never meant to see. Later, they'd come for me because after they killed the girl I'd be the only one left alive who knew what she had seen.They warned me not to run. They said if we ran they'd find us and it would be a whole lot worse. I couldn't think of anything worse than being dead, so I wasn't impressed by their threats.
