TANYA'S TURN: From Ruins to Rooftops

It is a long and arduous journey from the ruins to rooftops. Everyone has a turn to be on the "rooftops." And it's now Tanya's turn. She has spent most of her life with Tina who she saw as her mother, little did she know. Her father had died a mysterious death some years back and they lived convincing themselves that he had died of cancer. Tanya and her mother had lived peacefully all these years till now, when her love life became an entrance for trouble. She meets people she had never known and gets more confused to find out they are in one way or the other related to her. She becomes an international wanted person in secret organizations due to some reason she doesn't know, except for the fact that these obscure reasons points to her father. She is left with two critical questions: "why me?" and "why now?" "Life tests you with your greatest virtue." An old Sufi proverb said. Sometimes, what we think is an end is not. It's indeed a bend. It takes Tanya almost her life to realize this.

CHAPTER 9: MORE REASON WHY I SHOULD SHOOT YOU.

"I was with Ronald and we were having a good time till..." She paused at the door opening. Whoever was knocking had entered. She remembered Tina's body, she had not hid the body properly. In fact, there were blood stains on the white tiles of the kitchen. She had to make it quick.

She glanced at the bed where she knew Tanya would be hiding and she grinned. She knelt down quickly, coming face to face with Tanya. She pointed a gun at her to ensure she would not do anything stupid. She reached for her hair and dragged her out.

"Ssshhh!" She pointed the gun at Tanya's face. "Don't shout or more deaths will be accounted for." She said in a low tone. Amidst the burn on her face, Tanya could still make out the attacker. "How dare you Laura" Tanya said with hatred brewing in her voice.

"No. No talking," Laura wagged her head.

"Tanya!" The voice was from the kitchen. It was Raymond's voice. He had seen the disarray in the kitchen and was now calling for her. "Tanya! Where are you!"

"Now kneel!" Laura pointed her finger to the floor, still holstering her gun on Tanya's face.

"Tanya!" He was now climbing the stairs as quickly as Tanya and Laura said.

"Shit! I'll make it quick." She sniffed.

Tanya knelt as Laura moved behind her. Tanya understood what was happening. Probably, Raymond would have seen the disarray in the kitchen and was running to her room. Laura would not be stupid to shoot her, she would hold her hostage and use her to bargain her life and freedom. Maybe...

Tanya's door flung open. She saw Raymond pause at the door a second before Laura said:

"Don't do that." Touching Tanya's head with the tip of her gun lightly, she said.

"You know what you're doing kid, I'm a cop and you've already murdered someone. You..." Raymond was interrupted.

"More reason why I should shoot you. Drop your gun and kick it over there." She pointed at a position adjacent Tanya's position.

"Listen we could sort this..." Raymond was interrupted again. He was trying hard to get into her mind, maybe Laura knew and was blocking him out by interrupting him.

"Sort what out! You'd hand me over to the fucked up law and I'll be what? Hanged? Electrocuted? Lethal injection?" She was screaming now, a good sign to Tanya.
