After we filled the car with gasoline, we got in the car, and we drove straight to Ciudad de Libre, but now we are even more serious and quiet, me with blood on my face, Genesis with tears on his face, and finally Jonathan who is serious without saying a word. We are on our way to Ciudad de Libres, Jonathan keeps driving, Genesis directs him with the map, I am in the back thinking, about the human being, are we really bad, I just saw two people give their lives for their friends, and one of them kills himself for not being able to bear the death of his friends, does the human being deserve this, is it that God is angry with us for our sins, or will there be a God? i don't understand life, i don't understand why i am here i don't understand why i have to suffer all this, does what andres said really have any meaning, am i really alive to feel this life, to laugh, to cry, do i really exist because i have to live this roller coaster of emotions, the only thing i think we all have in common in life are our loved ones, andres had peter and carlos after his family was killed. He found happiness with them, despite what happened to his family, the Nizaries clan the same, that man who killed, he himself said that it was because of his family that he did all that, maybe the human is not bad, maybe the human does what he does to keep his loved ones well.
I look at the window, I see that we are already there, it seems to be 1:00 p.m. I can't really tell the exact time, there is no clock near me, Jonathan says,
-It seems that here is City of the Free, it is surrounded by cars, and objects so that none of the Nizaries clan enters, you know the requirements, we cannot enter with weapons, we are going to look for William and ask him for help.
Genesis as he takes out his weapons and hides them under the car asks,
- Do you think it will help us?
-We have a total of 500 pesos, with that money it is very safe to help us.
Genesis sees me confused and asks,
- Where do we get that money?
-From their bodies, right David," says Jonathan.
I just sit there with my head in the shape of a yes, Genesis sees me and decides to turn around. Jonathan parks the car where the pile of cars is so that people don't want to steal it, we all get out, we all see that we have finally made it, all the sacrifice, all the deaths, are finally going to mean something.
We go in, it's a town, they have towers made of wood, there are four of them around the entire City of Libre, their size is 274,962 km², people sleep on the street, or share a house, around the entire town there are too many cars, motorcycles, tractors, which makes it difficult for people to enter. We arrive at the entrance of the village when suddenly four men arrive, each one had a handkerchief on his face and sunglasses making it difficult to distinguish them, their size was 1.73m each, the leader approaches us, and asks while pointing a gun at us,
- Who are they and why are they here?
When we see that he is pointing at us, we all raise our hands, and look down at the ground.
Jonathan looking down tells him:
-Calm down, we're here for the pilot William.
The leader takes off his handkerchief, when I took it off I raised my head, I saw that it was an old man, with black skin, he had a scar on his right cheek. He asks us:
- What do you want from this man?
Jonathan raises his head slowly, while lowering his arms. As he lifts it up Jonathan says:
-We want to go to Washington.
The leader and his men begin to laugh. The leader asks him in a very mocking way:
- And how do you plan to go to Washington?
Jonathan looks him straight in the eye and answers:
-The Nizaries have a plane, we plan to go and attack the clan. As he listens, the man wipes the smile off his face, puts his gun down and asks him:
- Do you want to live? -Jonathan seriously answers him that if- Then don't mess with that clan, they are the worst enemy, if you mess with them you will only cause your own death. At that moment I smiled at him and said
- Aren't you tired of that clan? Aren't you all tired of those people treating us so badly? The leader punched me in the right eye and shouted in anger:
- you really want to die, don't you? -Jonathan puts his hand on my chest and tells me to walk away:
-Don't pay attention to my friend, he's an idiot, just let us pass, we don't have any weapons, we know the rules, we won't cause any trouble. The leader looks him straight in the eye, turns around and looks at the sky.
-You're too young, don't make that kind of mistake with your life. Don't fight. Don't be heroes, in this world if you try to reveal yourself... you end up dead.
-If we know-. Jonathan responds calmly. The leader begins to walk away.
-Check them if they have weapons... kill them. The leader orders. The men throw us to the ground with a lot of strength, and begin to
register. When they finish checking us in, they help us get up, and one of them tells us
-Sorry for using so much force, we have rules, no weapons here unless they sell them or are part of the guard, and finally if they use them we have orders to kill them.
We start walking, two men are behind us, one is in front. We keep walking, as we walk, I see that above the towers there are men, in the first two towers of the entrance, there are four men, two in each tower, they have a box of weapons and ammunition on their sides, below the towers there are also more men with weapons, I look from afar at the other two towers that are destroyed, I see that there are many stores, and a fountain in the middle of the city, around that fountain there are people, just staring at the fountain, it seems that inside this city is another world, there is no killing, no cars, no chaos. The man in front stops and says:
-Welcome to the city of freedom, remember the rules, no weapons, no stealing, no killing, you know the drill. Jonathan answers, stretching out his hand to give him a handshake.
-He shakes her hand, and with a serious look on his face he says:
-Finally... in this city we don't talk about the Nizaries clan, understand?
- Why? Don't the people here know about this clan? -I ask him confused.
-He said, "We don't talk about it, now look for your man and leave. The man answered furiously.
- Where is William? -asked Jonathan. The man pointed to a tent that looked abandoned and dirty.
We start walking towards the store, it has all the windows covered with pieces of wood, making it impossible for anyone to enter, the store looks dirty, it has a sign that says, "Used Furniture". As we continue walking, we see that on the street there is a school, the students are sitting on the floor, the teacher has a blackboard, there are a total of five children, three are girls, the other two are boys. Genesis, seeing it, says:
-Here it is another world, it seems that here never fell those impacts, those abominations, there are no Nizaries clan, nor parasites, much less Samyaza, Pedro, Andrés and Carlos would have liked to see this, to live here.
Hearing that we all shut up remembering that night, Genesis began to cry, Jonathan was still serious, and I just started to remember, how those demons killed them, how that Samyaza saw me, how his eyes were crying, I remember the shot, my head begins to hurt, and I begin to feel dizzy, I turn to see Genesis she has a smile, while trying to stop crying, try to forget but can not, Jonathan breaks the silence saying:
-Let's not forget why we came here, how hard it was to get here, now let's go get that pilot. We all listened to Jonathan. When we got to the store, I knocked on the door so that they would open it for us.
-David, don't say anything, neither will you, Genesis, let me do the talking.
Genesis and I nod our heads. Jonathan started knocking more loudly, he started screaming:
- Hey somebody, we're here to pick up the pilot William!
At that moment we hear footsteps approaching, Jonathan turns to look at us, then he sees the door again. When I open it I see that it is a man, who wears a cowboy hat, he wears clothes as if he were a cowboy, he is 1.85m tall, near his right eye you can see an N-shaped scar, he has blue eyes, attractive appearance, he has a strong body, a very powerful look, he looks like he is thirty years old, the man sees us and asks:
- Who are you and what do you want?
-We came here because of the pilot William, the guards told us that he is here. Jonathan answers calmly. The man passes his hands over his forehead in frustration and sighs in annoyance:
-Those idiot guards, come in.
As we enter, we notice that the store is very dirty, there are several pieces of furniture and cans of food lying on the floor. Behind the register there is a room, the gentleman opens the door, when we enter we see that everything is clean, there are two sofas, a big shelf of food, although most of the cans look empty, at the top of the shelf there is a bottle of wine full of dust. The gentleman sits on a sofa, takes off his hat, when he takes it off, we see that he has short blond hair, the gentleman looks at us with his powerful look causing a great uncomfortable silence, Jonathan sees him the same with a powerful look and asks:
-Thank you for letting us in, but where is William?
-They are looking at William. The Lord answers. Jonathan confusedly looks at him from the bottom up.
- Are you really the pilot William? -William answers by nodding his head.
- And why do you look like a cowboy? -asks a confused Jonathan. Angry William answers:
-Everyone asks the same question, dressed like that because it keeps me warm in the cold, because it's the only clean clothes I've found, and finally because I want to, plus What do they want? Why did they come all the way here? As far as I can see, they haven't slept at all, they have big circles under their eyes, they look tired, and besides, they look like they've come from crying a lot.
-Yes, we've had a long trip, you could say we didn't have a very good time, we came to get you to help us fly a plane...we'll pay you. Jonathan answers with melancholy.
-That sounds interesting, but first, where are you going to get a plane? How much are you going to pay? and how far are we going to go?
Jonathan approaches William and whispers to him:
-We will get the plane of the Nizaries clan. Hearing this, William is furious and takes Jonathan by the arm and says:
- You know what they will do to you if they hear you say that? you are crazy, these crazy people, what do you want them to kill us? -I couldn't stop myself, I needed to talk, so I answered him:
-I couldn't stop myself, I needed to talk, so I answered: "Look, we just need to steal it, your boss is here, and possibly he will leave soon. This is our only chance, besides we will pay you well, we just need to get to Washington.
- Why don't you go by land? -William asks angrily.
-By land, it's very dangerous on the Mexican border. There are many Samyazas and parasites, and by plane we'll get there faster. I answer.
-How do you plan to steal the plane? What do you plan to do? Go in and say, "Hi, we're here to deliver pizza. Answers hysterical William. Genesis, scared of how William is acting, gets behind me.
-Come on, you know there's a way to steal that plane, plus you're an American, don't you want to go back to your country? I say trying to convince him.
-That's not my country, and no, I don't want to go back. As he takes his hand off Jonathan's arm, I calmly say:
-But you want to get back at them, don't you? -William looks down and answers:
-Tell me who doesn't want to take revenge on them, everyone in this country hated them, they have this country at their feet, those bastards, but we can't do anything either, can we?
-If we can, there must be a way, if their leader falls, they all fall, he is the head of everything, as you say they have been worse than the Samyaza and parasites, now that this is their leader we can make them fall. Jonathan answers.
-Child, how do you think we're going to defeat their leader? First we have to get past all their people, and I assure you that we can't. William says.
-Look, we're going to pay you well, and there must be a way, we can unite all these people to help us. I say.
William shouts in anger:
- You're crazy, you don't know what your leader is like, or what he's done to all these people!
-You think that only to these people, they... they have caused more than you imagine, their leader, has caused so many deaths, you think that we don't know how crazy it sounds to go and steal from them and even kill their leader, you think that we don't know but because of them we are here, because of them people are more afraid of the human than of the demons themselves, you think that you are going to sit back and watch everyone die around you, you are really going to act like this, so selfish, you don't care about the people! -William punches me and makes me fall to the ground and says:
-People, people... I don't care about anyone in this shitty world." I angrily get up and hit him back.
- Damn you, you're just like them! -I yell at him. William looks at me angrily, when he is approaching me, Jonathan stops him.
-Please calm down, don't listen to this idiot," Jonathan interrupts, "he doesn't know what he's saying, he's had... well we've had a shitty night, just please calm down. Listen help us, take us to Washington, and we'll pay you well, we'll pay you 500 pesos, what do you think?
- How? tell me how do you want me to help you?
-You know well that there is a way to do it, you know well, besides when all this is over, we will leave you with the plane, and with the money, you will be able to do whatever you want with the plane.
-Well, and even if I knew how to do it, which assures me that we will achieve it, just look, we have that idiot with us, just look at him, he will ruin everything. William answers by pointing to me. I approach him angrier, but Genesis stops me holding my hand. Jonathan tells him:
-We'll give you half now, if we die or are captured, you run away and you still end up winning.
-Then I'll get 500 pesos, right? That's a lot," says William as he thinks.
-If it's a lot, we'll give you 250 for now. Jonathan continues.
-But you think I know how to steal that plane. William replies by denying it again. Before Jonathan could respond, a voice was heard behind him, a very low voice.
-William, you know, don't tell lies, you and I have been planning for a long time... to attack his three forts. As we turn around we look at a thin man, with dark brown hair, wearing glasses, brown eyes, unattractive appearance, a height of 1.80m, looks about thirty-five years old, wearing a long-sleeved white shirt, jeans, and very dirty white tennis shoes.
William listens to him and says:
-Solomon, did you really have to get into this business? -We were all very confused, when Solomon came over and introduced himself very kindly:
-Hello, my name is Solomon Mammon Ganapati.
- Are you Italian or something? -I ask. He answers with a smile:
-Something like that, but we are talking about 500 pesos, right? That will help us a lot William, we don't have food anymore, and you don't want to work because of your stupid pride.
-Shut up Ganapati, you know I'm not going because of those guards, they think they're so great just because they watch over this town, they don't even know how to use a weapon properly. William says angrily.
-Look if there is a way, but for that we must defeat their three strongest zones. Says Solomon.
- Three zones? -I ask.
-Yes, there are three zones, the Nizaries call it the "three ways of their life" the first zone is health where they heal themselves and have their medicines, it represents the love for helping someone, the second zone is where their weapons are representing the hate they have for someone or something and the last one is where their chief is, they call it the zone of life because the zone is their balance that is in the middle of health and weapons. They say that their boss is their god because he is the balance, they feel hate and love when they see him. If we manage to defeat the health, and the weapons, their chief will be exposed, the only bad thing is that we occupy more people, we are very few, and the people of this town are not going to want to help us, since well... they have already suffered for that clan before, although if we manage to destroy one of their zones they can feel motivated, and help us -. Solomon answers.
- Why did you say that these people have suffered with them before? -Very curious question Jonathan.
-They have suffered before, that's all you need to know. Quickly answers Solomon.
-Solomon... you know you've already given these idiots an idea, right? And don't tell me we're going to ask these clowns for help, they're not reliable. says William angrily.
-We don't have any more people to help us William," answers Solomon, "besides you know well that if we don't get that money we'll run out of food.
-I'm just saying that it's crazy to go against them.
-You know you want revenge, don't get it.
William remains silent and lowers his head, then I intervene and say:
-Sorry for not having introduced us before Solomon my name is David, he is Jonathan and she Genesis, so will you help us? -Solomon stretches out his hand to give it to me and answers me with kindness:
-Of course, as long as they have the money, we are fine. Genesis takes his backpack and takes out the money and answers him:
-Solomon takes it and puts it in his pocket. Jonathan then says:
-Don't think that you can cheat us, if you kill us to steal the rest of the money, you won't get anything, since we have hidden it. William gets upset and answers Jonathan:
-Listen, you idiot, I never break a deal, you hear?
-We're honest, we won't do anything like that. Follow me, we have to go ask for help from the only people who will help us. Add Solomon.
-It's okay, we'll follow you. Jonathan answers. When we were about to leave, Solomon turns his head and asks:
- Are you coming?
-No, I don't want to see those clowns. William answers as he lies down and closes his eyes.
-Well, as you wish, follow me.
