2024-10-29 19:42:56Her words made the three friends think about what mysteries they could unveil by being here, however John had another opinion as he said:
“I think you know more secrets than us, then why waste our time and not tell directly what you know?”
Gina smiled as she leaned back on her seat as she replied:
“Don’t you want some fun? What’s fun in feeding you secrets with a silver spoon? Besides if I told you what I know, you won’t believe me. Why don’t you take a look around you and tell me what you see?”
John smiled wryly as he said:
“Are you considering yourself our mentor or something?”
“Consider me so, until you know as much as I do.”
Her reply irritated John as he began to look around him like his two friends. They were sitting in a main street in this city, which was a mysterious city to them.
So, the first thing he tried to know was the name of the city, however even before he could hear anything useful, his eyes fell on the large posters that were spread all over the street.
It was hard to neglect these posters especially when many people were wearing them on their shirts or holding flags with what was on the posters.
There were two general posters there, and both were for two old men with sharp looks and fragrant deceiving smiles. John felt something was odd about these men, a feeling he usually had when he met his father’s superior at work.
“Are they competing for a political position?” he asked as he pointed to a flag held by a youth around his age.
“You guessed it right, they are both running for presidency in this country,” Gina replied with an amusing look.
That look irritated Laiyla, but not as much as Dan who felt some anger deep inside. He blames his friend for that, as John should make a space for him to interfere.
As John wasn’t aware of this, Dan decided to seize the chance himself, so he began to focus more on his surroundings. What Gina said was correct, however when he focused carefully he noticed something bigger going on.
“Wait a minute, one of them is chipped and the other isn’t,” Dan muttered softly as he said what he discovered with surprise.
“Bingo, you guessed it right. This election is different than others before, as the two running for it represented two different ideologies,” Gina replied with a big smile which encouraged Dan to say:
“So this isn’t just a simple election, it’s an election between the chipped and non-chipped humans. I guess we know who won at the end. By the way, when will these elections be done?”
Gina had a mysterious smile over her face as she calmly replied:
“It’s tomorrow morning.”
“What?!!”
This was the instant response of the three when they heard her words. Gina felt content with their reaction as she added:
“Yes, it's the same day the apocalypse happened. Isn’t it mysterious to know that the apocalypse happened on that day?”
Her question was the same that stirred a huge storm inside their minds. This wasn’t a simple coincidence, putting in mind that the mysterious hidden month and that dark year.
“What the hell happened here?” John softly muttered.
“Unfortunately I don’t know for sure what happened, and our time here isn’t enough to figure that out. I believe we should expect something went wrong in the election, which made one party to act aggressively against humans,” Gina said as she began to reveal part of her secrets.
Her words had different meanings, however there was only one meaning that was linked to everything.
“We can’t release judges like that without proof you know,” Laiyla was still upset by her playful attitude with her man, so she decided to reply coldly to her.
As a girl, Gina sensed her well-veiled aggressiveness towards her, and she vaguely understood why. But she didn’t care, after all they got only one day here and after that they would never speak with each other ever again.
In fact if not for what they did, she would never reveal her true personality to them and speak like that about her secrets.
“I know, that’s why I said I wouldn’t tell you anything I know. You have to figure things by yourselves, like that election,” Gina simply replied with her usual smile.
Laiyla was so irritated, but Dan stepped in to save the day as he said:
“I see we are moving towards the nearest place to get info, what about the library?”
“Libraries are for old events, not the recent ones. I say we go and check the television,” Gina said as she corrected what Dan said.
“Good, you two go and see the nearest television,” Laiyla said as she took advantage of the chance Dan created for both of them. John looked strangely to her, as he was still oblivious to the hidden battle going on here.
“No problem, but what are you two going to do?” Gina asked as she didn’t see what was going on.
“We will try to collect people's thoughts about this matter, who knows,” Laiyla replied with her plain smile, a smile John perfectly knew.
“Good, let’s depart then and regroup here after three hours, cool?” Dan said as he was the first to step up.
“Cool,” Laiyla replied as she was the second to stand after Dan while she grabbed John’s hand pulling him to stand beside her. John began to realize what was going on between the two girls, however all he did was winking to Dan wishing him luck.
“See you later then,” John said as he waved his other hand to the other couple while moving in haste steps to match Laiyla’s speed.
“You know you don’t need to be jealous of her like this, she is Dan’s love,” John said with a smile that pushed itself forcibly on her face.
“Jealous? Who? Me? From her? Pft, don’t make me laugh,” Laiyla nervously replied then she tried to lousy change the subject:
“See, there is a gathering of supporters of these two candidates, let’s go there and hear them out.”
John looked towards the direction she pointed to with her head before sighing. He knew she was a terrible liar, but if he didn’t want to anger the hornet nest then he should drop this topic, and that was what he did.
“Fine, let’s go there and hear them out,” he said.
