The rectifiers 4
.......................................
Immediately Israel stepped into his sitting room, he fell to his knees. He was very weak but the expressions of shock and surprise were visible on his face. He never expected to meet Bella there at that time. No, she was not supposed to be there at that moment. But when you miss the one your heart beats for, you yearn for his or her company.
That was what Bella was doing in Israel's house at that moment. She wanted her presence to be a surprise. But then, the surprise went both ways. Seeing Israel in that condition, Bella became too shocked to move a limb. She couldn't utter a word either.
She sat pinned for some seconds before regaining her composure and rushing to Israel's side. The first instinct she had was turning Israel on his side and stopping the bleeding. She was a pharmacist, thus she had a little knowledge about treating wounds and stopping bleeding.
She quickly fetched some clean cloths and the first-aid kit in the house. Then, she removed Israel's shirt and saw the wound clearly. She instantly knew what kind of wound it was. She didn't need to be told. She was shocked again.
"Babe, what is this? Why were you shot?", she was asking when her mind hinged on the news she was reading on the internet before Israel staggered in. "The assailant who escaped on a motorcycle sustained bullet wounds from the gun of a brave officer who confronted him. Anyone with useful...... ", the news read.
Bella stood up and staggered backward. She was dumbfounded. She couldn't believe what the situation was summing up to be. She wanted to deny the fact that her sweet loving boyfriend was a member of the group that assassinated her father. She didn't want to believe that she sought for comfort in the arms of a man who took part in her father's murder. She couldn't believe she'd been having sex with someone who should be her arch enemy.
How could she easily accept that ugly fact staring at her in a frightening way. She covered her mouth with both hands and whimpered. Silent tears rolled down her cheeks. Israel couldn't do anything. He was still weak from losing blood. He wanted to tell Bella a whole lot of things, but he couldn't. He only managed to say "I'm sorry".
But that wasn't what Bella wanted to hear. She wanted to hear him deny the fact. She wanted to hear him convince her that there had been a mix-up somewhere. She needed to hear that her boyfriend was innocently caught in the crossfire between the real culprit and the police.
But instead, Israel confirmed her nightmare. He couldn't lie to her anymore. He kept murmuring "I'm sorry" under his weak breath.
Instantly, all the love and affection Bella felt for Israel disappeared. In their place, utter hatred took over. Looking at Israel, Bella no longer saw a human being. Instead, she saw a monster who was capable of terrible things. She saw a beast who had no heart. She saw a demonic creature who was supposed to die in the most miserable and painful manner.
But she wasn't going to let him off so easily. Allowing him die from just a gun shot is a mercy killing. He needed to live and face the consequences of his crimes. He needed to suffer for causing her so much pains. He needed to live and mention the names of his devilish associates. Bella set to work. She worked on Israel's wound, stopping the bleeding and making sure he didn't go into shock.
While she was treating Israel's wound, he begged her to leave before his associates would come. "Bella, please leave me and go. Let me die. I don't want them to meet you here. They are probably on their way here now. They won't leave you alive if they meet you here", Israel begged faintly.
Bella was out for revenge. She didn't want him to die before the law would get to him. "Definitely, I will leave, you monster. But you must live and suffer", she replied scornfully. Israel knew what she meant. He didn't blame her for that either. If it was just for him face the law or die, he was willing to do so. But allowing the mission of the group to be jeopardized was something he couldn't do.
His conscience was in turmoil. He thought of what to do. He thought of killing himself to avoid being captured and interrogated. That sounded like the best idea.
When Bella was sure that Israel had been stabilized and could live long enough for the law to come for him, she went into the bathroom to clean up, leaving Israel who was too weak to move alone in the sitting room. She was going to call the police after that. While she was in there, Israel used all the will power he could muster and reached for his back pack which was lying on the floor. From the back pack, he brought out his gun.
With the gun in his hand, silent tears fell off his eyes. He knew he was about to commit an unforgivable crime, but he couldn't help it. The mission of 'The Rectifiers' was more important than anything else in the world and he needed to protect it.
Immediately Bella walked back into the sitting room, Israel shot her twice. First, in the chest and then, on the forehead. She died before she hit the floor.
