The Million-Dollar Heart
Chapter 668
Aaron gently nudged the hospital room door open, slipping inside with Mara close on his heels.
In the bed lay Karen, her breathing steady and the machines around her showing no signs of distress.
Aaron tiptoed over, with Mara following suit.
As they drew closer, Mara pulled out a photograph and held it up for comparison, "It's her. What do we do? Take her with us?" Aaron nodded. "Yeah. I'll disconnect the equipment. Get ready to lift her. I'm taking her to the Millers' to squeeze out who she really is." "Aren't we going to... you know?" Mara hesitated.
"Man, if he won't do the deed, how am I supposed to complete my mission?" She thought.
Aaron replied as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, "What? Kill her? That's illegal!"
Inside, Mara fumed. It was a good thing she had come along, or this mission would be a bust, and she would be the one in trouble!
As Aaron worked on the machines, Mara discreetly reached into her pocket and withdrew a small knife.
Holding the knife over Karen's chest, she swallowed hard. Murder was not on her resume. She hadn't even killed a chicken before. How could she go through with this? But if Karen didn't die, she would be the one to pay the price.
Aaron, the fool, not willing to dirty his hands with murder, was useless to her.
It was so dark; Aaron wouldn't see. By the time he noticed, she'd be long gone.
Even if things went south, the boss would handle it. No worries.
Mentally pumping herself up, Mara closed her eyes and prepared to plunge the knife down.
Just as she was about to commit to the act, her wrist was caught in a vice-like grip.
Already strung tight with tension, the sudden grip nearly sent Mara's soul flying from her body.
