Unsure

She really had no idea whether he knew or not.

Although she had been extremely careful about visiting her neighbour whenever her regular boyfriend was away on one of his frequent business trips, she wasn’t sure. Anyway, their relationship had been rocky for a while. So, it was no surprise to her that he suggested a ‘healing time’ get-away, as he liked to put it, so they could get things back on track. Spending a few days in Mexico might be fun, she thought. She knew he could afford it. He said it was one of the city capitals he visited for business meetings. He explained that he had travelled there that often that he would show her around. He suggested that they stay in the hotel that he knew from previous trips. She agreed and he made the arrangements.

On arrival, she was impressed with what she saw. The hotel was quite luxurious. The building itself was very tall and some of the upper floors had magnificent views across the city. They had just finished unpacking their luggage in their suite, when he suggested they take in the view from the top of the building. He explained that he’d been told how to get to the rooftop on an earlier visit. It was this suggestion that had her wondering again about how much he knew. She was still unsure.

Coming out of the uppermost elevator floor, he led her up a further flight of steps. They immerged onto a large, flat roof. He suggested they cross to the other side, where he would take a picture of her against the best view of the city.

He was lining up the photo, when, out of nowhere, a scorpion appeared near her feet. Posing for the picture, she hadn’t seen it. He lowered the camera and raised his free hand gradually, in a deliberate gesture, palm out.

“Don’t move,” he said, in a whisper. “Step back slowly, but be careful.” He then pulled the gun out from the belt at the back of his trousers. The sight of this was too much for her.

What happened then, occurred in just a few short seconds

The appearance of the revolver made her jump, lose balance, topple back over the edge and disappear from sight.
