One push and they’d fall into the sea.
Lucas and Zehra were sitting on a cliff overlooking the sea. It wasn’t very steep, so the fall wouldn’t be fatal.“You should talk to him,” Zehra said, swinging her legs and enjoying the sea breeze.
“Don’t swing your legs so much, it’s dangerous.”
“What’s your problem?”“What?”“Why are you so overprotective?”He shrugged. “You were saying?”Zehra smirked. “I was saying you should talk to Ryder.”“No.”Zehra kicked, punched and clawed as hard as she could. She tried to recall all the karate moves she’d learned as she fought hard.Choodan uke. Middle punch.Star One aimed for her head.Jodan suki. Upper block.Alpha Star lunged at her from behind and she turned.Gadan uke. Lower punch.He screamed out in pain and bent over. After delivering a quick punch at Star One, Zehra fled.

I don't care what you do, as long as she is no longer a concern. You will soon receive two loaded pistols. Let's just hope you won't have to use them. Make sure the whole affair is executed in the least messy way possible. There should be no traces, got that? No evidence. Make it quic
“Well well, that was fairly easy, wasn’t it? I have to say, I'm kinda disappointed,” Alpha Star said smugly.Zehra's heart thudded frantically in her chest and she couldn't help but feel like a trapped rabbit.
