15 Chapter 15 (1/2)
Gillian gave Frank a worrying look, she looked into his eyes and he looked into her. But suddenly, she lowered her head, looking at the ground as her face changed to a frowned face. She slightly tilts her head upwards as she slightly opens her mouth and takes in a breath.
”So...” she begins, as her voice slightly breaks.
”I have been lied to... lied by my father...?” she finished off the sentence as she looks around the room before looking back at Frank.
”That I don't know” Frank began talking, he lowered his voice, it became softer and more convincing. Gillian was thankful to him for this.
”I don't want to assume anything until we have something solid... something that can back up the new evidence that we just found,” he adds as he stepped a bit closer to Gillian.
”But... I... I am scared...” Gillian says to Frank, who clearly seems distressed.
”Scared of what?” Frank asks her as he slightly lowers his head to hear what Gillian has to say. ”Tell me,” he says, softly, after a few moments of silence passed by.
”I am scared of this, I am scared of what we might find...” she tells him as her eyes begin to water.
Frank opens his mouth as if he is about to say something but suddenly stops. He breaths out before placing his right hand lightly on her left, and with the index finger of his left hand on her chin. He slowly rose her head upwards, until their eyes met.
”Look...” Frank began, ”I... I am not gonna lie, I am scared too” he adds as he breaths in heavily. ”It feels uneasy... I know” he adds after a few moments later.
”But you look all... buff and stuff... you are strong... stronger than me,” Gillian says, as she begins to feel numb.
”Me?... Strong?... Pfff...” Frank says, making fun of himself, making Gillian slightly smile.
”You look like you can carry the weight of the world...” Gillian comments.
”Isn't that a bit too heavy?...” Frank asks as giggles sexily.
”We are going off topic...” Gillian says.
”But what I was trying to say was that I switch that feeling, feeling fear... and uneasiness into motivation. I motivate myself by thinking and knowing that these innocent people who died want to know who did this, they want someone to find out how this all happened.” Frank explains to Gillian.
”I mean, you even said that these innocent people did not deserve to die... right?” Frank asks her.
”I... I guess you are right...” Gillian answers she clenches her fists and takes in a deep breath.
”Let's find out who did this for our sake and for the sake of the innocent who had to dies this horrible way,” Frank tells Gillian as he looks her in the eyes.
Suddenly, a buzzing sound could be heard, becoming louder and louder.
”What...” Frank mutters as he quickly goes to the door of the station, Gillian follows him, they both walk out and look up at the sky. The buzzing is constantly becoming louder and louder.
”Where is it coming from?” Gillian asks.
”I have no clue,” Frank answers.
Without warning, a chopper rushes right over Gillian and Frank.
”Holy... shit...” Frank mutters as they move a step back.
When the chopper passed then, the buzzing sound began to again go down.
”Did you hear that?...” Gillian asked Frank.
”The chopper? Yes...” Frank answered.
”No, not the chopper...” Gillian speaks but is interrupted by a loud and intimidating roar.
”That is what I hear...” Gillian says to Frank as she begins to feel nervous.
”Do you still have that pistol that I gave you?” Frank asks her.
She nods as she reached into her pocket to take the pistol that Frank gave her.
”Remember... no mercy, no regret, just shoot, okay?” Frank tells her.
”Okay,” Gillian answers.
Both Gillian and Frank walk down the steps and onto the road.
”You have the file, right?” Gillian asks him.
”Yeah, it's right...” Frank begins answering, but he suddenly stops as he taps around his torso for the page.
”Do you have it?” she asks him again.
