A thriller of betrayal, trust, survival and love. ******************************************************************************************* "Why did you fucking run away?" She paused for a second. "Because I saw a bloodied hand in the bag you brought." He shook his head. "That's not reason enough to run away. If I left my wallet at your workplace, you should keep it and return it when I come back. That's what normal people do." She looked at him with a dry expression. "I'm very sure normal people will never compare a mutilated hand with a flimsy purse. They are barely in the same category." ********************************************************************************************** "That's not all. You'll have to complete a task for us." She eyed the man warily. "What task?" "It's been concluded that there is a traitor in our midst. Your task will be to fish out this individual or individuals, as the case may be." **************************************************************************************************
