Have you ever fired a gun?

Just give it to me.

- Do not do it. He shoots you.

- No, I do not.

You saved my life.

Do not do it.

I give it to him.

Clever boy. It was good.

What did I do?

You shoot actually quite good

for a beginner.

- I would not either.

So, I was angry at him.

It is quite understandable.

Afterwards I took it actually quite calm.

As if I had all sorts of time.

Excuse me a moment.

- What happened?

- I shot him. He is not dead.

The kid had no choice.

We have to save him.

Turns I killed him?

I killed the second.

We would not kill him.

escape before he wakes.

Let us get away.

Do not take home.

- Who are you?

- It does not matter.

- Are you an agent?

What are you doing? I'm afraid.

Where's the kid?

He slipped away.

I do not know who you are

but can I trust you?

Rely on me?

This is not random.

His boss wants me dead.

I just hope it happens quickly.

As with him.

I would almost wish

it happened right away.

So I escaped

to speculate on when.

Oh god!

I must pee.

I just think it's nerves.

Do you have a napkin?

Silk. Lovely.

Go ahead.

It was not even a million.

It is hand ears for them.

I have not done any harm.

Why are people so gullible?

Wait. Where are you going?

I need protection.

I can pay you.

I can pay you in advance.

I have several in my purse.

- I can not help you.

- Do not just leave me.

It's nice for you to.

I implore you.

- I can not. Believe me.

- I feel safe with you.

You are clever, calm and stable. You are

as an ancient oak.

Half now, the rest behind.

- Should I run? You seem...

- I am angry.

- They are wrong.

- You stole his boots?

He must not use them more, right?

- Why do you have a gun?

- It is my job.

- What are you doing?

- I'm private detective.

You do not look like the type.

- What were you doing here?

She had a cheeky agreement

with a man in a car.

A cheeky agreement?
