The diamond - 2

As she got closer, someone blocked her path before she could react, and she bumped into the

person. She looked up and saw an unfamiliar face. Despite being a new employee only for a month,

Sam was already familiar with the most staff. "Who are you? Why are you blocking me? Only

employees and managers are allowed in here." He replied, "I just started here yesterday. Why are

you so frightened of me? Is there anything I can assist you with?" "No thanks, I'm in a hurry to head home for some family matters. If you don't mind." She replied hastily and walked over to him. He

blocked her again and said, "If it's an emergency, I can help you." "No, thank you, I can handle it

myself," she shouted. In shock, he said, "okay, fine. Go ahead. You have to go through the security

checks before leaving." "W...what?" she shook her head in confusion. "What should I do now?" she

wondered. If they search through my belongings, they will discover the diamond, then I will be

imprisoned, but if I don't leave, my family will be in danger. What should I do? Should I plead with him? Will he help? As she pondered, the man inquired, "What happened to stop you from being

searched? Are you hiding something? Is that why you're trying to run?"? She replied, "N...no." He

asked, "Then what? Is there anything you want to say?"She thought this might be the only way I

have to take the risk no matter what. "May I talk to you alone?" She asked. He said, "Okay. Let's

go there." pointing to the corner of the room. After she followed him there, he said, "You can say it

now. No one will know." She took a deep breath and started, "Actually..." As she explained her

situation to him, he listened and was shocked to know her story and the diamond theft. After she

finished, she said," I didn't care when that man gave me poison but, my family, I can't risk their

lives, even if I have only 3 hours to live, I must save them at any cost, so please help me. I don't

know how to get out of here with this, and if I don't, they will kill my family for sure. I am begging

you, please" She held his hand and looked at him earnestly for his answer. He said," I can help you,

but do you think that man will leave you after this? What if he kills you after getting what he

wanted?" "I can't think that for now. All I know now is that I have to save my family. If he goes

back on his word, I will drag him with me to hell anyway I will die soon, so I don't care." "Are you

sure that your family will be happy seeing you sacrifice yourself for them like this?" he asked. " All they wish is for me to disappear from this world. They will be more than happy," she answered with an awkward smile.
