TERRA EMPIRE: ON THE EVE OF WORLD WAR

Episode 43: VALUE A TO LANA McQUEEN

Jordan thinks Lana will spend time in the storage warehouse of her father's finds. In fact the girl went in there just to pick up the gas mask. Two gas masks, to be exact, the shape of which is less convincing. The large tube that sticks to his nose and mouth reminds Jordan of the bull's muzzle in the Chicago Bulls basketball club logo.

After that Lana even busied herself in the pantry. The girl just laughed a little at the confusion on Jordan's face and then explained, “There is no tear gas in the warehouse because daddy never made such things. It's just that I know how to assemble it. The ingredients can only be obtained in this place.”.

“OK, what are we looking for?” Jordan asked after they were in the pantry.

“Please get a used can. Usually Office Boy stores cans of biscuits, milk cans, or the like on the bottom shelf. Also aluminum foil and rope axis.”

“OK..”.

While Jordan searches for the requested item, Lana has gotten the basic ingredients of baking soda and pepper powder off the shelves on the microwave. The girl worked deftly, mixing and boiling some mixtures with a dose that only she seemed to understand. In the same place, Jordan also enjoyed how his friend was doing. The boy was amazed, “Did your father teach you all this?”

“No! Just something I read from the internet.”.

“Really? Don't you also an expert in making explosives.”

“Not really!” Lana laughs. “Some of it I even received from science.” class

“Remind me to take science classes with you.”

“Not that we already take the same class?”

“I can't remember!” Jordan laughing.

“Maybe because you are not attentive in class, so do not know anyone who is in class with you,” said Lana.

“Or maybe I was too focused to listen to the explanation because I realized I was not the smartest student in the class.” Jordan defended herself.

“As long as it is understood the meaning is easy. The rest is just the ability to remember..” comments Lana. “Please get the can.”

Jordan thrusting a can of milk, “You said that as if there was nothing to count on science.”

“I can teach you if you want!”

“Really? Of course I want.”

“Naaah...already... now just touch finally,” said Lana.

The girl stuck aluminum foil on the outside of the can that had been glued together with the ignition axis. After that he gave two newly assembled tear gas bombs to Jordan, “Gas tears, and..” he took a hammer that had been carried away and then tucked between the Jordan belt. “…weapons for short-range fights.”

“If it's a class test, you'll definitely get an A,” Jordan laugh.

“Don't underestimate me, yeah! I always got an A in science class,” Lana responded with a sullen face, pretending to be resentful.

“You are indeed smart.”

“I don't know what you're going to do with this mask and tear gas. But I hope the hammer is not until you put on a fight with *****,” Lana said with a sad face. “I didn't want to imagine ***** it shot you again.”

“Hopefully my plan is smooth, so I don't have to experience anything like that.”

After packing the items, the two returned to the fifth floor. Jordan turned to Lana, “You wait here yeah.I'll pick up your dad in five minutes.”.

“Hey, why should I wait here? I'll save my dad too!” Lana protested.

“That's because I gave it to my father.”

"Yes that's why I don't want you to come along.I'm afraid something bad happened to you,” Jordan said with a look that made Lana crumble.

“Jordan...wait.” Lana held the boy's hand.

Jordan was wide-eyed when the girl hugged and kissed him on the cheek. The girl said with teary eyes after taking off her embrace, “Be careful..I also don't want you why-why.”.

"Sure!” Jordan nodded.

Lana pats on Jordan's vest, “Hopefully this can secure you.”

“This thing has proven itself earlier!”

“Koreknya..to turn on tear gas..”.

Jordan picked up the thing and stuffed it into a shirt bag before going out and down the hallway. The guard was still standing alone in front of the door of Tramp Junior's office, only that the cigarette that had been long now lived half. Although in a relaxed position, but the guard is still on standby with his machine gun attached to the shoulder.

I know Jordan was hit by a great feeling of panic. He knelt down and held onto his chest as he felt his heart pounding. He murmured inwardly, “This is crazy..this is crazy...Am I capable of doing this? What if he kills me first? Professor McQueen and Lana will die for nothing here.”.

The voice in his heart reprimanded, ‘You are not as sweet as this time of attack ****** that on the emergency stairs.’

“That's because his attention is being distracted by a shootout.”

‘Yang means the situation is even more dangerous because he is ready to shoot anyone. The proof is you got shot too. After all you are also not this sweet when bringing Lana back here.’.

“I just don't want to see him sad because of Professor McQueen.”'s mistake

‘Aah, so you blame Lana's father now?’

“I don't blame anyone. Because the man did what had to be done.”

‘So much as you are now. Just do what needs to be done. Wrong or not, that's relative. You'll never know until you're done doing it.’

“You were right..” Jordan took a deep breath to ease his heartbeat.

After picking up the hammer, Jordan whistled loudly. His proposal to make ******** that is smoking is immediately on standby. The guy was staring around him, thinking he was hearing wrong or something. As soon as the second whistle was heard, the criminal realized it was not an involuntary sound. He threw away the cigarette butts that stayed slightly to the floor, clasped his hand on a machine gun, and walked slowly closer to the emergency stairway where Jordan was waiting.

From the faint sound of footsteps on the floor, Jordan learns that the criminal is about to get to his place. Grasping the hammer tightly. He realized that he could only do his attacks once, and that too quickly and on target. Just miss a little then a commotion will occur and it will provoke****** others out of the CEO workspace.

What he did not expect happened when the ******* cried out, “Who is there?”

Jordan's heart is breaking. Hopefully the jerk's voice isn't too loud to be heard by other. As not enough, the ******* instead repeated his words out loud, “Come out! I know you're ahead there..”.

The man moved slowly, Jordan holding his breath as the gun and shoe tip of the man emerged from behind the hallway where he was hiding. A few more steps the man was at the distance he wanted, and it was at that moment that Jordan decided to attack, hopefully the man didn't shoot him.

The criminal took another two or three steps forward and knew Jordan heard faintly the cat meowing not far from where they were and the man said as he looked at what was in front of him, “Fucking cat..”.

The man lowered his machine gun and lost his standby. That's when Jordan slammed and slammed a blow into his left temple. The ********collapse to the floor without having time to shout. After making sure his opponent was helpless, Jordan hurriedly pulled the person's body into the hallway to hide.
