Aya was fairly certain she felt her heart stop in her chest when she heard that same voice. The voice that had laughed as a man and woman were massacred. The voice that had manipulated and maneuvered around a deadly deal. With wide eyes, she snapped her head over to look at the monster who would be sure to haunt her dreams. To all the world he looked like just a concerned passerby, but Aya couldn't forget the sickening grin he'd wore as he murdered her landlord and his wife. 

Trembling, she opened her mouth to say something only to find her voice caught in her throat. Her thoughts ran like a bullet train through her mind as she stared at him. He knew. He knew what she'd seen and he'd come back to kill her. He'd torture her just like he'd done to the others, and leave her body in the alley, and the last thing she'd hear echoing in her ears would be his laugh.

She was brought back to reality though when she heard the sound of sirens ringing down the street. The police. They'd come, they would arrest this monster, and Aya would be ok. Maybe he didn't know what she'd done. All Aya really had to do was keep him here, right? And it wasn't like she was completely defenseless. This man had blood on his hands… but now she did too. 

These thoughts all rushed through her head in a moment, and Aya clamped her mouth shut, taking a swallow. Closing her eyes, she ran a hand down her face and took a deep, shaking breath. 

[color=mediumspringgreen]"My uh…"[/color] her voice was a quivering thing as she tried to get her thoughts in order. [color=mediumspringgreen]"My dad died,"[/color] she said with a wet smile as she held up her phone. [color=mediumspringgreen]"I'm sorry, I'm fine, you don't have to deal with this."[/color] Fresh tears spilled down her face and she leaned back against the wall. The sirens grew louder in the distance. An idea occurred to her then. Looking at him out of the corner of her blurry eye, she gave another half smile. [color=mediumspringgreen]"Lynn,"[/color] she said, holding out a hand to him. [color=mediumspringgreen]"Nice to meet you."[/color]
