Chapter 2 - Doom awaits us

And there was João wearing glasses, a long suit and a beautiful bow tie, running away from the army once again. Fleeing desperately to hear several shots in his direction, it is possible to see a cold and sad alley, a place with several homeless and drunk but with a ladder, something very necessary for your escape at that moment.

As I went up the stairs, I could hear a lot of screaming.

"Fast! he went into that alley!".

Strong people, just following orders, and ready to kill. In other words, "soldiers". At the top of a small building, João realized that from now on things were going to get worse. As the black smoke from the factories rose and the newspapers flew, it was possible to see an armored train with long cannons at its top.

Immediately, a large crowd formed, interested in what was happening. "Whoever comes closest to that will be killed!".

Said an army officer.

João with his tired look says:

-I think what's bad is going to get much worse.

While the soldiers tried to reach him, João was able to jump freely from one tile to another. But it was at that moment that a soldier appeared in front of him ready to shoot,

but in a quick movement and a touch of luck, João ends up managing to hide behind a wide chimney beside him.

The moment João calmed down, it was possible to hear a loud noise, a train coming towards him, with tracks close enough that with a single jump it was possible to reach him. So hoping to delay soldier João asks: "Are you really going to kill me?".

"Are you surprised?" The soldier responds with a laughing tone.

While picking up a loose tile from the building where he was standing, João replies: "I don't think so, but you are going". When the train starts to pass, in a quick movement João throws the tile in the opposite direction causing the soldier to get confused and miss the shot, but at the moment of his leap of confidence, he shouts a single word: "GERONIMO!"

João manages to fall on the train, but with a lot of bad luck he slips, forcing him to hang only with his fingertips. As he swayed, desperate not to fall, he heard a beautiful female voice asking him:

"Need help?"

When he looked down it was possible to see a beautiful girl, brown eyes, blond hair and a beautiful feathered hat in addition to an incredible smile.

"I don't think I can deny..." (João

João replies, delighted with the girl's beautiful smile. Before being able to finish the sentence, the beautiful woman opens a large window and thus pulls him into the train.

Before João could realize, he is already inside a gigantic train, not knowing where he is going, but relieved to have got rid of the army that was chasing him.

"You're being wanted, aren't you?"

Asks the girl who saved him.

"If you know I'm wanted, why did you help me?" João asks in a tired voice.

Before he could finish his question, the woman was already taking his hand and with quick steps started to walk saying: "I think it is better not to look back". Disobeying her, he sees several soldiers asking a series of questions to passengers in the previous car. And without understanding, he asks himself "Why is she helping me?"

As the two walk, the girl asks him: "what's your name, young man?."

"-Jo... João Gabriel at your service, and what is your name, madam?" (João)

The beautiful girl replies:

"Diana... Diana Sousa", now sit here. Let's see if this will work."

Beside the window João sits and beside him his new "companion" (Diana).

"Put that hat on your head" (Diana.)

While João hid his face in the top hat, the soldiers who were in the previous wagon, seem to be looking for someone in the wagon where João and Diana were. As the soldiers move on to the next car, a soldier looks at John and says, "Sir, take off your hat!" While João takes off his hat, Diana at the right moment hits a kick in the soldier's balls, which makes him drop the gun. Diana now with a gap, quickly says to João: "Run!".

When the soldiers who were going against the other car realize, they shoot quickly at João and Diana, but quickly and intelligently Diana uses the body of the guard she had hit earlier as a shield, thus giving them both a chance to escape.

As they fled, all the soldiers on the train tried to surround them for a chance to end that mess. When a soldier finds Diana and João, Diana quickly picks up a glass bottle from the bar and plays against the soldier. Still with the soldier disoriented, João ends up punching him in the face and disarming him. João, now armed, breaks the train window and says to Diana: "Let's go to the roof of the train, quickly!".

While Diana was still climbing on the roof of the train, João realizes that a soldier is climbing, so with great aim João shoots the soldier hitting him in the shoulder and managing to throw him out of the train.

"And now what do we do?" João asks in a desperate voice.

"we jump!" Diana responds with a cheerful voice.

João asks desperate:

You are crazy?.

But before he can finish the question, Diana pushes João off the moving train, and quickly afterwards with a smile on her face she jumps up screaming: "Hu huu!". When he falls, João looks back and when he sees Diana jump, he thinks: "This woman is crazy".
