A: Veronica! Veronica! Veronica! Are you OK?
B: Steven! What’s going on! Who were those guys?
I didn’t know you have a gun! What’s going on!
A: I will come clean as soon as we get to safety, OK?
For now, you have to trust me, please! I would
never do anything to hurt you.
B: Steven, I...
A: Okay, run! I haven’t been completely honest with
you Veronica, I’m sorry. I’m not a fireman. I’m
not even from the United States. I’m a spy for the
Indian government.
B: What? Why didn’t you tell me before? What are
you doing here?
A: When I was a young boy, I used to play cricket
my father back in my hometown of Hyderabad.
It was a peaceful town, and my father was a
renowned chemist. One day, he was approached
by members of the CIA, claiming that my father
had made the discovery of the millennium in his
small lab back at the university where he taught
bio-chemistry. I never saw him again. I vowed to
discover the whereabouts of my father and con-
sequently joined the Indian Intelligence Bureau.
B: What does that have to do with those men shoot-
ing at us? Most importantly, why did you lie to me!
A: I’m sorry, I wasn’t supposed to meet you. I wasn’t
supposed to fall in love with you, but you have to
believe me when I tell you that what I feel for you
is real.
B: I can’t believe this! Why are all these things hap-
pening to me! I can’t take it anymore! Let me out
of the car!
A: Veronica, wait! |
