The three people were quietly staring down at the corpse laying on the floor when someone suddenly rushed into the basement.The young man ran toward them hastily and once he reached them he bent to catch his breath."Boss... something happened," he finally said after a short moment.All eyes turned toward him which made him feel a little stressed."Speak up!" Phil ordered as he couldn't stand the wait anymore."Yes!" the young man said while quickly taking a proper posture before he started giving his report, "while we were still fighting the enemy, a few minutes ago, they started falling down unconscious, one by one".The three people glanced at each other silently before reporting their attention to the corpse of Konny which drew the attention of the young man. When he took a look at her, too, he asked them timidly, "d-does that mean that... we won?"Jamal didn't respond to him directly but instead, he asked a question, "how many casualties did we get? Are there any people who got
Jamal and Pam followed Volga and Carla to a police station which was at twenty minutes from where they were. Outside, there were groups of people who were sitting, here and there, chatting and joking, obviously rejoicing that their tough war against Konny was finally over. When the four people passed next to them, they all stood up to welcome them with applause and accompanied them with cheers until they entered.Jamal thought that such a reaction was not necessary and was glad that it didn't last long but once they got inside, they again got covered by another round of applause. Everywhere they passed they would find another group to repeat the same thing and it continued like that until they finally reached the room where they were holding the people newly released from Konny's control.In the room, there were two cells for provisional detention on both sides of the room and the large number of people who were filling them was whether handcuffed or just tied with ropes. They were lo
After Sania answered the four people before her, they started to glance at each other with smiles of relief. It made her remember that when she saw them entering the room, they'd seemed to be worried about something and the discussion which followed was so awkward and confusing for her that she couldn't help but stay quiet in her corner.Since she was tired of trying to figure out everything by herself, Sania preferred to ask directly, "first of all, why would you expect me to forget about you? And secondly, why is Nelson apologizing like that as if he had tried to kill you?"When she saw the faces of her friends changing into expressions she couldn't understand it made her worry, she turned her head to Nelson, "wait, did you try to kill them?" she asked him insistently.Nelson lowered his sight and slowly bowed his head showing, without saying a word, that he was guilty."Why?! Are you crazy?!" she shouted in shock.Jamal frowned a little while thinking that something was odd, he app
•••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
•••"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
•••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
"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
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,
