"Regarding the way you're acting I can suppose you seek to meet him, don't you?" Matteo asked directly as he didn't want to waste his time.Dana sighed, "Such a rude boy, don't you know it's not good to hasten women," she waited for his reaction, and seeing it didn't have any effect she went on responding to him without further turnarounds, she coughed twice and said "yeah, it's true, I want to meet him," she acknowledged."For what reason?" he automatically replied. But this time she didn't respond, instead, she just lowered her sights on the ground and remained silent. He waited until he understood that she would definitely not answer and decided to pass and not insist too much, he looked aside, acting distracted, and asked her "are you free? Have you plans for the rest of the day?"she suddenly raised her head and looked at him confused "what?""I'm asking you if after this you have something to do after this... maybe hanging out with your gang or something?" he repeated while thro
"If you want to ask her why she wants to meet, it's useless she will not answer... I've tried already," Matteo said to avert them.But he knew that it wouldn't discourage Lina, and that was especially why he brought Dana to them."That is the problem with most men, you are way too brutal and hasty. You have to be courteous and find the best way to obtain answers without pushing her," she explained to him. She grabbed Dana's hand and led her to the sofa, after sitting down she said to her "from which town do you come?"Matteo was wondering how would she react and he was surprised to see that it was with her serious side who responded to Lina. "Short-river" Dana said with her serious tone. Lately, he made the theory that her personality changed depending on the situation she was in, for example when she was confronted by too stressful circumstances she tended to wear her emotional face. But, here, she was in the middle of an interrogatory, facing two women she didn't even know yet it wa
"Alright!" Lina exclaimed, she leaned toward Dana's face "so the question is obviously this, what are your real intentions?"She frowned as if she didn't understand what she was talking about. "Don't play dumb with us, maybe you still don't realize in which situation you are trapped," Natasha said with an annoyed tone, she was obviously tired of her turning around the bush, "look, with a single pressure of my fingers I could break your neck, so if you continue acting like you don't understand what she is saying I will rephrase it one last time for you so you better be sure to give us an answer"."You said wanting to meet Jamal, we won't ask you to give us the reason for you to see him, what we want to know, instead, is what are you looking for to do after seeing him?" she asked, the face severe.Dana's cheeks turned red and her tears restarted overflowing and running on them, she wasn't able to control her emotions anymore at the thought of how cornered she was. She managed to articul
"What have you decided about me?" Dana asked after minutes of silence, with her sights fixed on the floor, she was waiting for her sentence. Lina and Natasha looked at each other, sharing a mute conversation then they turned to the young girl, it was Natasha who took the talk as she told her, "you will live with us, more precisely with me, until the day after tomorrow".The young girl raised her head and gazed at them in surprise, "you will not kill me?""No," Lina said, "you gave us an answer without lying even though, I have to admit, your answer was weird and unclear it was enough for us, so there is no need for us to eliminate you," she paused and looked at her suspiciously for a short moment before she added, "unless... there is still something important you're hiding from us?"But she didn't reply anything and just bowed her head and Lina didn't insist. [She can't keep her secret forever anyway] she thought."Well, in her house you will find all that you will need, clothes, food
Before she walked down the stairs to leave the house, Natasha decided to pass by what used to be Matteo's room, which was now temporarily Dana's room, to check how she was doing. It was not like she was scared that she escaped or at least she tried to, she just thought it would be good to do so as she intended to leave without alerting her.Thanks to their discussion of yesterday night, they were close enough for her to know that she would never attempt to run away. Even though Dana didn't confess to her the reason why she needed Jamal to save have or what was he supposed to protect her from, she shared a lot with her. For example, she talked about her social complex which caused her to lose control of her emotions when she was involved in a too stressful situation.She confessed that despite her miserable childhood with neither family nor friends she had managed to survive without diving into criminality or evil in general. Contrary to Matteo, who was firstly raised in an orphanage a
That day was the day where everything would be decided and Lina opened up her eyes that morning with that state of mind. She stroked the empty part of her bed with a sense of nostalgia, trying to remember the warmth of the man who used to occupy that place before she slowly left the bed, [it's just one day since he left, stop acting like a crazy junkie] she said to herself while she was heading to the bathroom, [today is an important day, so interdiction for you to be down, stay focus and confident] she kept motivating herself while tapping her cheeks to wake herself up.After her shower, she returned to the bedroom, picked up appropriate clothes for the event, and went down to the living room. On the coffee table, surrounded by the three couches and the television on its pedestal, was lying a little stack of papers in which were written many versions of her speech. In the end, they finally achieved to find one which satisfied her, it was the only paper separated from the pile of pape
He had to roll for two hours at full speed with his motorbike before he could see the shape of the city, the more he was getting close and the more the buildings, the houses, and the monuments which composed the city became clear. At a moment, he could conceive the shapes of the men and women who were waiting for him at the entrance, ahead of him."Welcome to our dear Short-river!" said joyfully a man who seemed to be the leader of this small group. "My name is Donald Carson but you can call me Don and there you have my unit". Jamal stepped forward to go greet them, it was a group of only seven members; four men including Don, and three women, they formed a line and came one by one to shake his and introduce themselves."Brad March," said the most brawny of the men."Axel Becker," a woman with red hair said, she went on to give more details on the origin of her name "my parents didn't know if they wanted a boy or girl so they chose a name which suits both"."I'm still convinced Axel i
Gunshots were resonating in his ears. In all the buildings around him, people were targeting him, a rain of bullets was falling on him but he was too fast for them to attain him. Although he could stop somewhere safe or directly penetrate one of the buildings to counterattack, he didn't do so as he knew there was something more important to do at the moment first, and going directly for the counterattack would have probably been a waste of his time. [I have to do it quickly, the others may not be able to resist for too long] he recalled himself.What Jamal wanted to do first was to determine the number total of the group of enemies who came to kill them and he thought the best way to do so was to roll around by attracting their attention for him to draw a perimeter of their action zone and by counting the number of times he was shot on he could estimate an idea their number and establish a plan. After 2 minutes of rolling along the streets, he arrived at, what seemed to be, the limit
