Your best friend in the world calls you and tells you a secret that changes your friendship forever. Write a story in the conversation and the aftermath.
"J are you awake, it's me K" the voice spoke immediately I picked the call. "K, seriously, 3 am" I murmured. I noticed she was panting as though being chased or a representative of temple run (an Android game). "Listen to me carefully and don't say a word till I am through," K said. "Okay", I replied sitting up to pay rapt attention to her because knowing her when she gets like that it's deadly to interrupt,— I speak from series of experiences— "Up until now, I was a hit-woman," she said. "What!!!" is the word that escaped my mouth without my conscious effort. "I said don't interrupt" she shunned as I covered my now opened mouth that has refused to close with my hand. "Thank you" she continued "I have forcefully assisted many cross the bridge to the other side whether or not they wanted to". I nodded my head saying "Hm Hm" as though to inform her that I am still with you. "Their lives didn't bother me because that's what I was trained and paid to do, but my recent order has placed me in a position to go..." She stops then said "Please hold on" as though changing her location with haste. " Okay, where was I, Yes, My current job is made me the enemy of the organisation I work for because" she paused again mourning words as though trying to find the right words, I breathed out as the suspense intensified but not saying a word, my hand still covering my mouth. She broke the silence and said, " Because my new target is you" the hand covering my mouth dropped, " and I am at your doorstep " she concluded. I felt heat rise from within me and my heart skipped in terror while the phone dropped from my hand when I heard the doorbell rang. "What am I supposed to do", I thought. Should I run out the back or call 911 but as I thought to myself that I never told her where I was staying when I travelled and she never asked and I know she wasn't a stalker but here she is in front of my door.
After a while, my phone rang again to bring me out of my scribbled thought, " J, please open up, before it is too late. You need to leave now". I opened up seeing my friend wounded and battered from running as fast as she could in other to get to me first while fighting off many hired guns, the thought of my death seem to fade because I saw now that she is in as much trouble as I am.
"Get your stuff quick we are leaving now," she said covering her wounds because I don't plan on losing my friend today.
