Mark's POV:
The moment Mona is done with her treatment to Anna, Anna opened her eyes, but she is worried and feels anxious, I didn't understand what happened to her, suddenly she got up from the chair and hugged me, and started crying, I didn't understand why she is crying all of a sudden, but I am sure, she is not worrying for Mona's treatment when Mona asked her what happened,
Anna: "Th-theyy try t-to attack Mark..."
"What?"
We all asked her in shock; she immediately turned towards me and started explaining.
Anna: Yes, Mark, they tried to kill you, not me...
Tom: Anna, can you tell us in detail?
(She immediately turned to Tom.)
Anna: Tom, do you believe that he is a professional killer?
Tom: of course he is...
Anna: Is there any chance that professional killers can miss their target?
Tom: Maximum, they are not...
(Anna immediately went to the chair where she sat just before and looked at Tom.)
Anna: Tom, look at my hand, at the time of bullet fire my hand is far away which is near to Mark's head angle, so I am sure they are trying to kill Mark, not me...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt(Anna really raised a valid point, professional killers don't miss their target, but they can miss with an inch gap but not a foot gap. I immediately went close to her to make her calm down.)
Mark: Anna, you may right, but please don't worry, I am safe now...
(She nodded her head as yes, but still her eyes are floating with her tears, I know she can't even bear the thought if something bad happened to me, but I don't like her to see in such a worrying way. So I again try to console her.)
Mark: Anna, I already told you in the car, please stay strong...
(She immediately wiped her tears and looking at me with her puppy eyes, I smile at her and make her stand and hugged. After a few seconds, she became normal.)
Mark: See, Tom, How my girl raised the valid point...
Tom: Yes, Mark, she really gave me the valid point, but...
Mona: but?
(Tom involved in his deep thoughts and looked at Mona suddenly.)
Mona: What happened, Tom, What do you think?
(Tom is still looking at Mona with his worried face.)
Mark: What happened, Tom?
Tom: There are equal chances that he may try to kill Mona too...
Mark: What?
Tom: Yes, Mark...
Mark: Why he wants to kill Mona?
Tom: I don't know the reason, but I am guessing because Mona sat opposite to you in the food carnival ground and the exact point of Anna's ice-cream is just before Mona's face...
Do you remember, at that particular second, Mona got up from her chair and came to me to hold my neck for my teasing towards her?
Mark: Yeah..!!!
(I understand what Tom is trying to say and if Mona didn't get up from her place, then the bullet may directly hit to her head, which passes through Anna's ice cream cup.)
Tom: And if she didn't get up from her chair, in that particular second, the bullet may...
(Tom said with his shivering tone and paused with his worried face, Mona immediately went to him and hugged him gently. We all remained silent for a few seconds and didn't understand what's happening and who is behind all these. After a few seconds, Mona breaks the silence.)
Mona: Guys, you all are worrying about nothing...
We all four have equal chances of danger zone from this attack, and I am sure we will sort it out all these issues after Tom's interrogation with the attacker, till then don't come to any conclusions and don't worry for the incident which already happened.
(After Mona finished her explanation, we all feel better, but my mind is still thinking about the attack. Why does the attacker want to attack Mona?
In between my thoughts, I hear a little disturbance, we all turned around, and it's the attacker. He is trying to move his hand, but Tom handcuffed one of his hand to the cot. So he can't relive his hand. I immediately looked at his face; his eyes are still closed. We all went close to him and surrounded him. After a few seconds, he slowly opened his eyes but didn't stop his trail to relive his head.
Tom: Your hand was locked; you can stop your trails to escape...
(By listening to Tom's words he looked at us and widened his eyes in shock and immediately tried to get up, but I pinned him to bed by holding his neck he paused his trail and looking at me with his shocked expression.)
Mark: Tell me, who are you?
(He lay on the bed and looking at us with his smirk face and looked around in confusion.)
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAttacker: Where am I?
Mark: That's not the answer to my question, tell me who are you?
(I pinned his neck more tightly, his face is flushed with blood for suffocation of breathing.
Attacker: Daniel...
My name is Daniel...
(He said in between his cough for breathing.)
Mark: Why did you attack on us...?
(I shouted at him out of my furious and pinned him more tightly to get the solution quickly because the moment Tom declared that there is a chance of an attack on Mona, I want to sort out the issues soon, and I don't want to pull Mona into this mess.)
Attacker: What?
Mark: Tell me why did you try to attack us?
(I shouted loudly with my angry tone.)
Attacker: I didn't understand what are you talking about.
