The Red Nights 41- Determination
The three armies of the three cities were all gathered in the dining hall for the feast their host, Glenn had prepared for them.While straying his sight around him, Jamal realized how big that room was. In one sight, he counted that they were nearly one hundred people and still each of them was well installed on one of the two long tables which were occupying the dining room. Those tables were filled with many varieties of food; mashed potatoes, salads, meat, chicken, and many other meals. There were many fruit juices naturally prepared, and Jamal was happy to notice that he didn't put too much wine or any alcohol as it would have reduced the capacity of the soldiers in the coming battle.While they were enjoying that banquet, Glenn was humbly explaining to Jamal, Volga, Nelson, and Sania, who was sitting near him, where all the foods, which had been prepared and set on the dinner, were coming from. Jamal, like all the others, thought that they were their provisions, which was correc

"Alright, it's settled. Tomorrow we will go for the outlaws and will proceed as we have planned today," Jamal said to conclude the strategic meeting while he already started to fold the map and collect the other materials they used. He walked toward a shelf and stocked them there in order, "however, for the time being, I ask you to go find your beds and have some rest to replenish as much of your energy as you can before we go on this mission. So hurry up and go to sleep".Everyone agreed and the noisy crowd started slowly leaving the room, some of them were discussing the mission, explaining and commenting on some steps of the plan while the others were rather sharing some stories of their previous missions with the members of Palet's group. They were cheering them up as some of them were still very worried.[Which is completely normal. Tomorrow will be their first real battle] Jamal said to himself while he was gazing at the crowd on their way."It also valid for you," he said to th

"What is she saying?" Volga asked Jeffrey, the one who was holding the walkie-talkie and was in charge of transferring the information to the other teams. He repeated what he had heard Sania say through the walkie-talkie, "umm... she is saying that she is on the roof of her car and she is naked".Volga suddenly turned her head to gaze at him "What... what does that mean?"The boy shrugged, looking as confused as she was, and added, "she's also saying that she managed to draw Brett and his men to Nelson's team's location, so I guess that... she achieved her mission. She is even on her way to join Nelson".Volga nodded with a neutral expression, she looked at Jeffrey again and shouted to him, "stop blushing like an idiot and return to your position it's almost time".He immediately executed but did not hold himself to complain and regret silently having chosen the wrong team to be in.Volga then turned to face her enemies standing on the wall surrounding their quarter.It had been quite

They were progressing in a dark long hallway aiming to reach the white square of light before them while the noises of gunshots and the screams of the outlaws were becoming louder with every step they put. They could even hear footsteps coming from above them giving the impression that people were running in every direction, on the upper floor.Volga had chosen to walk two by two as the hallway was not very large and also she thought that if they were too many they would not be able to react in time in case of an ambuscade.[They don't have reflexes as sharp as mine so I better walk in front so that I can protect them well] she had said to herself."We are almost there, only five meters left, get ready," Carla whispered to her comrades behind her. She had, earlier, proposed to Volga to be her partner and the latter didn't say no since that was what she had planned to do from the beginning. Volga believed that this girl was the most capable of all her team and the devotion she didn't s

They went down and left the house using the same way they had used to enter since they wanted to call back the few people from Jamal's team that Volga had left behind earlier. They got in their cars, Jamal put up his motorbike on Ilya's pickup and went to sit beside Volga on the backseats. They rolled around the house and quickly joined the rest of her team.As expected, they had already finished their part of the job and were quietly waiting sitting here there in the courtyard. When they saw them coming, they slowly started to get up to go meet them. Volga and Jamal got off the car and Jeffrey came to tell them briefly what happened.He said that after she left, they managed to hold the group of outlaws who were trying to escape, "they were completely dispersed and so they were easy prey" he joked. He carried on by saying that this situation didn't last forever, some of them went to report to their chief that there was another group of enemies at the gate who were attacking them. The

"I think here it will be OK," Jamal told Carla.They were at the right wing of the house, in a quite small court, limited by one wall of the house and two others from the concrete structure which was surrounding the entire house. There was a wooden square table and four chairs around it beside a small, but still beautiful, kitchen garden. Jamal supposed that it was maybe the place Glenn liked to spend his time when he wanted to relax or just be alone with his partner.It was a quiet place, a little bit farther from the main court and almost inaccessible to curious eyes. To be able to see or only hear something one must walk the path and enter the small court.He turned around to face Carla. "You can have a seat," he told her while waving his hand toward the nearest wooden chair.She inspected her surroundings and gazed at him then at the chair before she decided to sit on it.He, too, walked to go for the seat just before her, he stared at her for a moment while she was still bowing h
The Red Nights 47- Carla's childhood
Carla joined her hands and even though she was still reluctant to tell her story, she forced herself to comply with Jamal's request.Jamal had already a general idea about how was her childhood, which was why he was not surprised at all about the beginning of her story."I'm an orphan who was born inside a bus, that's what my grandma never stopped telling me, but reaching a certain age, everybody can figure out what truly happened," she began her story with a melancholic voice, "I call her my grandma but you have to know that we're not related in anything, she was an old lady who just happened to find me, when I was infant, in a garbage can or in whatever dark corner I got dumped. She must have felt pity for me and she picked me up. She raised me until my 5 years old when she died from there, as I inherited all her wealth as well as her belongings, some false relatives started to appear from nowhere and battled with each other to decide who would have my guard and thus possess my gran
The Red Nights 48- Declarations
When Nelson arrived at the HQ, he was surprised to see that the party had already begun a while ago. Half of the soldiers were already mildly drunk and were dancing in the middle of the court while the other half was standing here and there chatting happily. A large number of dishes were already empty and looking at how various snacks the other plates were containing, Nelson couldn't guess what they contained several minutes before.He turned around and ordered his men to take all the things they had brought from Finn and Brett's houses and transport them inside, "don't hesitate to ask for help if you find something too heavy, don't take any risk of hurting yourselves". He advised them.Sania detached herself from the small crowd and walked furiously toward Nelson. She walked and passed by him enough close to purposely bump his shoulder before she continued walking as if nothing happened."What's your problem?"She suddenly stopped and slowly turned around to face him, she stepped for
