The Red Nights 49- A Love Story
Nelson had checked the entire first floor without success. When he decided to go for the next level he immediately felt dumb for not having thought earlier to inspect their own room first. He quickly went up the stairs, ran through the hallway, and hastily pushed the door. Inside, the room was completely dark, which meant that she did purposely turn off all the lights while holding the sunlight from entering through the windows by pulling the curtains.He palpated the wall on his left and took a few seconds before he finally found the switch to switch on the light. As the room was now enlightened, he easily found Sania at the first glance.She was sitting on the floor on the opposite side, her back leaning on the corner while hiding her face in her arms. He approached her slowly and after firstly standing in front of her wondering if it would be appropriate for him to go further, he went to sit just beside her, close enough for their shoulders to touch. He took a look at her and as to
The Red Nights 50- Beauty and Intimidation
"Oh?" Jamal exclaimed, surprised "I didn't expect that everyone would be already up".Everyone in the room was looking at him awkwardly, maybe because he was naked, dressed with only one towel hung around his hips which was covering the lower half of his body until his knees.They have been silent for a moment now and Jamal started to feel not at ease, the more they were staring at him the more he was feeling embarrassed. Carla tried vainly to get her sight off his body, her face was all red while Nelson and Volga were staring at him with astonishment and he even sensed a bit of fear in their eyes.Jamal thought that the situation would stay like that again for some more minutes until Sania jumped out of her bed, and walked toward the locker to take two white bathrobes, she put the first one on her shoulder while throwing the second one at Jamal who quickly used it to cover himself. She then walked toward the exit and before getting out she said, "I want everyone to get out of here an
The Red Nights 51- Kiss & Strategy
After her short nap, Volga sat up on her bed and stretched out before she walked toward the door and left her room. In the hallway of that small house, as she was heading to the kitchen, with a glimpse to her right, she noticed Jamal who was sitting on the balustrade, staring away with a sense of absence. She stopped and changed her direction."Are you alright?" she asked as she was reaching him.The man turned his head gently accompanied by a sweet smile, "it's the fifth time you've asked me this since we arrived"."That's because I feel like something is wrong with you". She went to place herself just in front of him, "something is bothering you, I know it, but after all my efforts you still don't want to share it with me, does it mean..."Jamal landed gently his hand on her shoulder to stop her before she finished, "believe me, you are the person I trust the most in this journey, so I will ask you to trust me back. I'm not lying when I'm saying that I'm totally fine".They stared a
The Red Nights 52- 5 are enough
Konny stayed silent for a few moments, pondering on what Jamal and Volga just said to her before she opened her mouth to reply while pronouncing each of her words, "if I understand clearly, you're proposing to send only one small team to deal with Phil's entire army?"She then completed it without giving anyone the time to respond, "That's completely insane"."It's not exactly what I said," Jamal shook his head and went on to correct her, "my plan is to send a team to confirm or clarify our doubts about their number, identify their location, and find out about the power of their army".She clapped her tongue in opposition, "that's almost what I have said, you're asking me to send our best warriors, alone, for some pieces of information. They would be doomed. It's as if you're telling me to sacrifice them. What kind of leader are you?"Behind him, people started to whisper their indignation at each other and the complaints were becoming louder and louder. His colleagues sitting next to
The Red Nights 53- Infiltration
In the car, the ambiance was very awkward. Since they left the HQ, no one spoke a single word. Sania was leaning her head on the window pane of the car, looking bored. Nelson had his arms crossed on his chest, he was shaking his leg up and down impatiently while glancing at Sania from time to time while looking extremely anxious. Carla, who was sitting just between them, was feeling quite uncomfortable, she would, sometimes, stare at Jamal and Volga in front hoping that they would do something about that embarrassing situation but they did nothing.They both seemed deep in a soundless conversation as, without saying a word, they were exchanging weird eye contact and nodded discreetly to each other.Carla was not a telepath but she somehow managed to get a clue about their discussion. At her expression, she guessed that Volga was worried about something and so Jamal was trying to reassure her. Although it was not clear, Carla could understand that it was about something very important.
The Red Nights 54- Betrayal
Lowering her sight Carla could see that she, too, was shaking, she could even feel all her hair slowly erect due to the fear and the anxiety which could unconsciously activate her power. At that moment, she knew that she had to quickly calm herself, otherwise, Volga would see that and would consequently discover her secret powers, but whenever she tried, the images of what just happened would flash in her mind, making her adrenaline rise and subsequently reactivate her powers.Soon, the fear and anxiety left the place to rage and anger. Her mentor had betrayed them. The man she trusted the most, so much that she could even sacrifice her life for him, had just stabbed the whole army in the back by killing its leader."Yes, we should hurry up and go help him," she suddenly thought and said while putting a step forward.Volga raised her arm in front of her before she could go anywhere. "You promised me that you won't panic and you will stay calm no matter what happens," she said without
The Red Nights 55- What Konny wanted
Jamal turned to Pam, "I have many questions I need to ask you, so you better go first, tell me what you want to clarify".The woman thought a little bit but at the moment she was about to talk her dad took the lead, "what are you doing here? Did you come to take my head and offer it to Konny?""Dad!" Pam shouted, and at the way she glanced at Jamal, she was obviously embarrassed by such a rude reaction from her dad.When she turned while intending to apologize, Jamal raised a hand to stop, "it's alright" he said to reassure her, "I want you to trust me and I will be completely honest with you so don't hold back, feel free to ask whatever question you want". He, then, looked at Phil, "she sent us, my team and I, to investigate your precise location, that's why we came with such a small number so that you will drop your guard and subsequently reveal your position to us".Phil opened his eyes, shocked."I knew it!" Pam couldn't help but shout in the face of her father, "it was too much s
The Red Nights 56- The Deal
•••Nelson stopped the car and when he came out, followed by Sania, he found Konny with her personal guards behind her waiting for them. Sania ran in her arms and Konny welcomed her with a kiss while enjoying the irritated face Nelson had. She gently pushed Sania away and took a look at the car behind them before she brought back her attention to Nelson.With a large smug, she said "I see that you have taken the right decision. Congratulations"."I don't care about that," the man replied with a severe tone, the expression on his face showed that was very irritated. "I have done what you have told me to do so now it's your turn. Keep your promise"."I will I will," she repeated with a smirk on her face while waving lazily her hand, Konny was clearly enjoying that situation, "but before that, what about the two other women?""I just abandoned them there," Nelson responded coldly, "they kept calling me on my walkie-talkie but I ignored them"."You what?" Konny asked less satisfied all of

They just had to walk for a few minutes and they soon arrived in front of the house.Lina didn't even reach the door yet it got opened from inside. Matteo passed his head outside and took his time to stare at all the faces of each of the people before him before he opened wide the door and stepped aside to let them pass.

Natasha slammed the door of her home after entering in a hurry.While she was running towards her room, Dana, who had been surprised by the loud noise, followed her to inquire about the situation. She stopped at the entrance of Natasha's room, which had been left wide open, and stared at her while she was changing clothes, "what is happening?"The latter glanced at her surprised but didn't pay her much more attention though. After she put on her boots, she stood up and, hopped twice before she stared at Dana. The young girl analyzed her from top to bottom and by looking at her outfit she concluded that something important happened, she frowned after she decided to not let it go."Hey, tell me what is wrong, why do you seem so pressed to go out? And by the way, where is Ja-""Listen, I really don't have time to waste," Natasha stopped her coldly, she got a thoughtful expression for a very short moment, then, she told her, "Look, stay here and wait, I'm sure Lina will come to take you t

That morning Lina woke up unusually early, she sat up slowly on the bed and stretched out enthusiastically with a joyful smile illuminated by the orange color of the sun's rays.When she turned her head she saw Natasha in the corner of the room just next to the window in a way that she was hidden from the sunlight. She was sitting on a stool while wearing a tracksuit and it seemed like she stopped all her movements when she felt Lina's gaze on her as if she had just gotten caught red-handed. She was immobile with the shoelaces in her hands while she was about to tie her shoes and didn't move at all even to raise her head when Lina asked her "What are you doing?"She lifted her head slowly and with a forced smile, she gazed away as if she was looking for a good excuse before she said with an uncertain tone " I-I... I woke up surprisingly early and I felt like going outside, you know... to do some jogging".Lina's smile faded away, and she stared at Natasha with an annoyed expression,

"Our role is quite simple but very important, we have to, first, choose the venue for the fight," Lina started to expose her plan step by step while accompanying her speech with gestures of the hands, she tried to be as clear as possible, "a place afar from the residences zone, in order to avoid that the citizens get a clue about it since we don't want to create any sort of panic"."Since I arrived in the city, I have worked along with Natasha and Matteo and we have started to look for the venue," Brad said after he rose his hand and Lina gave him the talk, "though you have already told me that we still need some more precision about the characteristics that place should have".Lina gazed at Natasha and Matteo confused, she then told them, "you both should be able to determine the best spot for the fight, so I don't understand why I have my word to say".The two people glanced at each other."Hmph!""Hmph!"They suddenly turned away as if they just came out from a quarrel.Lina stared

•••Lina hung up and walked silently toward the sofa of her office and let herself fall on it and released a long sigh, "thank God it will all soon be over," she mumbled, her face buried in the sofa.She suddenly heard the door being opened, she didn't have to turn her head to know who were the people who were entering as she directly recognized them by the rhythm of their footsteps. "You're late, I already hung up," she said after she turned slightly her head, so they could hear her voice clearly."What? You have told me you will wait for us to come," Natasha complained while putting her hands on her waist to show her disappointment."Sorry but you were taking too much time," Lina replied not sincere at all, "I have tried to hold him on as long as I could but he has his duty"."I'm sorry, it's my fault if we're late, I have the habit of not noticing the time passing when I'm with my patients," Donald apologized to Natasha while stroking the back of his head."Don't worry," Natasha qu

•••"I will try to convince them tonight but I won't promise you it will be easy. It's not something easy to believe in and even if they do it's still not certain they will accept it, after all the horrors they went through since that abominable night they may not be mentally ready for what I'm about to ask them," Jamal explained through the phone in a steady voice."You don't need all them to be in, even though it would be better if they could all accept, neither you need to tell them in detail what that mission is all about," Lina outlined, "looking at the actual situation even the 10% of the whole army will be a great help and you know that"."Yeah, I know. I will do my best," he promised.There was a short moment of silence before Lina chuckled, "but I swear, when you said that you will make it in 6 days, I didn't expect you will seriously do it. I should learn to believe more in you"."To be honest I was just trying to act cool. Those battles have been so quick but yet so complic

•••Nelson had remained silent sitting next to Sania waiting for her to tell him something however since the moment she told him to stay, she didn't open up her mouth. He couldn't stop feeling anxious due to that mysterious tension he could feel in the air at that moment while wondering what she was about to tell him. Minutes passed until he couldn't take it anymore and decided to initiate the discussion himself."If... if you want to tell me how much you loathe me you can go ahead, though I probably already know how you feel. Don't hold back I deserve whatever you will say, after all the things I have done to you".Until then Sania had her arms crossed around her knees while leaning her head on them, without saying a word or turning her head, she slowly released her left hand, and let it wander a little bit until she reached Nelson's right hand and she held it timidly."How?" she said with a little voice smothered by her forearm in front of her mouth."How... ?" Nelson repeated confu
