Mum..... let me

"Mum... let me," he whispered with an eager gaze that made it difficult for one to refuse.

Zi Xingxi who had just spotted her target and his accomplices looked in his direction her finger moving off the trigger. She was about to reprimand him reminding him that this isn't child's play when she saw a rather familiar look in his eyes.

It was the same look she gave to her father the first time they went on vacation only to encounter space pirates hijacking a civilian transporter. At that time, her father had exchanged heated words with the renegade and threatened to blow up his entire fleet if he didn't step down.

What did she do back then? The eight year old interrupted him asking, "Is he a bad guy?"

Zi Feiji, "Yes, honey."

Zi Xingxi, "Oh, did he hurt innocent people?"

Zi Feiji, "Yep."

Long silence...

Zi Xingxi, "Then will the world be better off without him?"

Zi Feiji, "Yes, it would probably be much more sunnier than yesterday..... wait, why are you.....? Xixi no!"

Boom!!!
