Chapter 6 - Tears

The Chief gave a command and the four soldiers grinned. And with the same grin, they all unzipped their pants.

The cameras were still on so the people could see it. And no one even tried to avert their eyes. The four soldiers began their stream of water and they really shot all that on Pablo's face.

They did that with happiness and Pablo just remained there motionless. No one felt pity for him, in fact, they would like to see more of such humiliation on him.

Pablo was now dripping with urine, blood, salt and he gave off a foul stench as well.

The four soldiers finished their task, wore their pants again and finally, they got ready to take Pablo outside.

The fifth soldier turned off the camera and went outside the room. While the four soldiers came and stood behind Criminal X.

After five seconds, the Chief came inside the room again and on his hand, he held the handle of a trolley.

It was a metal trolley, designed like shopping trolleys but heavier and bigger than those.

Inside the trolley, a long, thick metal chain was placed and the Chief pushed the trolley towards the four soldiers.

The four soldiers picked up the chain from the trolley and started wrapping Pablo with it.

His hands and legs were still tied and the four soldiers only wrapped chains on Pablo's upper body.

His hands and legs were still free from the chains as they only covered Pablo from his chest to his stomach.

Then, one soldier took out a handcuff from the trolley and put it on Pablo's left hand.

Three soldiers then held Pablo's left hand and one soldier began to untie the left hand of Pablo and surprisingly, Pablo showed no reaction. He remained calm.

But the three soldiers didn't dare to let go of Pablo's hand.

Soon, Pablo's left hand was free and now it was turn to untie his right hand and handcuff both his hands.

But there was a lack of soldiers. The three soldiers couldn't let go of Pablo's left hand and only one soldier couldn't handle Pablo if one of his hands became free.

"I'll do it. Don't worry." The Chief spoke and arrived on Pablo's right side.

He held the right hand of Pablo and one soldier finally began to untie the rope from Criminal X's right hand.

"I was just going to ask for your help, Chief. Only you can deal with him one on one." The soldier spoke while untying the rope.

The Chief said nothing and soon, Pablo's right hand was also free.

The Chief then held Pablo's right hand and he himself handcuffed Pablo's both hands.

After that, the same thing was down with Pablo's legs and after 15 minutes, Criminal X was partially free again.

He wasn't tied to pillars anymore but he was still handcuffed and chained. He couldn't run or fight. He couldn't even move properly. He was naked too. His eyes and mouth were still covered and gagged. Pablo was still in a miserable state.

The five soldiers then wore their armors, helmet and attached 3 grenades on their belts, held a rifle in their hands and stood behind Pablo.

Pablo walked in front of them and finally, after four days of confinement in the worst room possible, he saw the outside world for the first time.

He didn't technically see it because of the blindfold but he could feel it on the skin of his legs and hands. Those were his only body parts that weren't covered with chains.

It was 7:45 AM, the sun was shining brightly and Pablo walked slowly out of the room.

The five soldiers came behind him and they all matched Pablo's walking pace.

As soon as the five soldiers stepped out of the room, their expressions turned sour.

They were surrounded with garbage.

Used cans, burnt trash, rabid dogs, dungs, and other garbage stuff. All around them was garbage, garbage and garbage. They counted Pablo as garbage too.

"This was the only place where he deserves to be kept. In a garbage dumpster." One soldier spoke.

The other soldiers nodded and they were all surprised that even in a dumpster, many people came.

CLICK!

CLICK!

CLICK!

Flashes of cameras ran on the soldiers and Pablo's face as nearly all the media came to record Criminal X on their channels.

Reporters were doing their reporting as they were relaying every news to their viewers.

But unlike normal reporters, no one tried to ask Criminal X a question directly.

They were staying away from Pablo and no one even put a mic closer to his face.

There were armies, police, helicopters present and the path in front of Criminal X was free. No one was in front of him to become his hindrance.

Every common person who couldn't visit where Criminal X was, glued their eyes on the television and watched the live telecast on the news channels.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the whole world was watching the last moments of Criminal X.

Pablo kept walking straight and other than him, everyone else saw a huge cross erected in front of him and he was walking towards it.

People shivered just by imagining what would happen with Pablo but deep down, they wanted to see it badly.

Just below the cross, 21 men were standing and it was clear that they held absolute authority.

Everyone knew who these men were as well.

15 men were the judges who gave the verdict of Pablo's fate, Presidents of Germany, America, Russia and Poland were also there.

Other than these men, King Charles and Richard Cruggs, the lawyer were present as well.

"Chief," One soldier said. "Have you ever seen a crucifixion?"

The chief shook his head.

"Then what do you feel about today?" The soldier asked another question.

The chief stared at the cross in front of him and sighed.

"This man killed twenty comrades of ours and I don't see any other punishment suitable for him. Criminal X earned it. Period."

After that, the soldier stopped talking and just walked slowly behind Pablo.

There were Presidents of other countries present but they were standing far at a considerable distance. They didn't stand below the cross.

Pablo walked slowly and after fifteen minutes, he finally reached in front of the 21 Men.

"He stinks more than all the garbage here." Richard commented.

One of the 15 judges came forward. He was the same judge who announced Pablo's verdict.

"Soldiers, turn him around." He ordered.

The soldiers nodded and turned Pablo towards themselves.

Now Criminal X was facing the five soldiers.

"Bring him on his knees." The judge gave another order.

The soldiers again obliged and made Pablo sit on his knees.

His hands were behind his back and the metal chains proved to be a heavy burden.

"Now remove his blindfold." Another order came.

The Chief raised his hand and finally removed the blindfold from Pablo's eyes.

And for the first time, since he was captured by the five soldiers, Pablo saw the sky.

His eyes were black and white and there were scars around his eyes too.

"He has a stone in his left eye. Only one of his eyes can see. In short, he is partially blind." The Chief spoke and Pablo darted his eye on him.

Pablo said nothing though. He just stared. He stared at all the five soldiers from head to toe and after that, he roamed his head around and saw the place he was in.

Garbage dumpster around him, a big cross behind him, and many people. He saw everything.

"Well," the Judge said. "Time to make him fully blind."

The chief nodded and came closer to Pablo.

He sat down on one knee and reached out his right hand.

He brought it closer to Criminal X's right eye and mercilessly, shoved his fingers inside Pablo's eye.

People wrinkle their nose at the scene but many people liked it. No care should be given to Criminal X. He deserves it.

Pablo flinched by the Chief's act and now his only working eye was out as well. He was now completely blind.

Blood dripped from his eye and now Pablo couldn't even cry in pain.

The chief crushed Pablo's eye and began to stand up again.

But the judge said, "Take out his other eye as well. Even if it's a stone."

The Chief nodded and shoved his fingers inside Pablo's left eye socket as well.

He then took out the white stone and crushed it as well.

Pablo now had blood running from his sockets and the cameras did not miss capturing this scene.

Soon, that image went viral and everyone dubbed it as…

"The Criminal X cried tears of Blood."
