The gun was pointed at Natalie's chest

"You're lying," the woman's voice menaced, as she motioned her accomplice to release Natalie. Then she lifted the pistol and took careful aim.

Natalie froze against the wall, confused and terrified. It was impossible to convince them she knew nothing. There was no place to run. Yet, if she didn't, the bullet couldn't miss at that range.

Paralyzed by fear, Natalie closed her eyes, waiting for the gun's blast. They were going to kill her, and she didn't even know why!
