TERRA EMPIRE: ON THE EVE OF WORLD WAR
Episode 48: AT THE END OF A MUFFLED GUN
The police car that drove them stopped in front of the fence of a large house with the McQueen family crest attached in front of it. The professor and Lana got out of the car before the man persuaded Jordan once again, “Do you not have to stay at our house first, Jordan?”
“I don't want to bother, Prof!”
“Same as no. Anyway we have many empty rooms.”
“I'm sure about that,” Jordan laughed as he glanced at the McQueen Mansion which was dozens of times compared to the flat he lived in. He then showed me his new cell phone while he was in the car. “I'm sorry, sir! But I better get home. Sally had already sent me dozens of messages and fifteen calls, none of which I picked up. He can kill me if I'm not home when he gets home.”
“I can help contact Sally and ask her permission.”
“That makes me even more troublesome,” Jordan smiled.
“Ah, if only my car had not been damaged by those damn people..” complained Professor McQueen.
Officer Jones waved, “Nothing, Professor! I have no problem taking this boy to his house. It just so happens that his house is in line with mine. Something I want to take a minute from there before returning to headquarters.”
“Alright, pick up Jordan, police sir!” professor McQueen's attention was split at the time when his phone rang, and as soon as it received it Jordan heard the man say. “Oh, hello... Duncan! Yeah, it's all over. The police managed to catch all ****** found in Machina..”.
Lana admonishes Jordan subtly, “Why the hell didn't you stay the night? It's past midnight.”
“I've promised Sally to go home after dinner.”
“But he will surely understand if you are stuck with *******. ”
“Later he even forbid me to be friends with you, because it brings bad influence..after a fight with Allen's gang, then terrorists.” Jordan grinned.
Remembering that Lana back sad, “Iya, forgive me, yes! I shouldn't have taken you to daddy's office. Okay, but if Sally nags at you later because she's late for dinner, tell me. Later me or daddy will be happy to help you explain to him.”
'Definitely! Thanks, Lana!” Jordan nodded.
“Bye, Jordan!” Lana waved her hand accompanied by a sad look, it seemed like the girl had not wanted to part with her friend yet.
“See you Monday, Lana!” Jordan replied to the girl's wishes before the police car continued to take the teenager back to her apartment.
Fifteen minutes later, Jordan Cross was in front of the flat where he lived. He took the key from the coat and put it in the door. The flat was empty, indicating that Sally had not returned home, and it was impossible to expect her brother to be in the flat despite the midnight like this, because Friday night was the beginning of a busy night for the girl to double work at the Casino until the weekend.
All he wanted to do was sleep quickly. His body was still in pain in some parts, in his ribs when he was thrown from the stairs and his left shoulder was severed***** who grappled with him. The boy was sure that tomorrow his entire body would definitely be filled with blackening bruises. Jordan washed his face, brushed his teeth, and got into bed.
Before immersing himself in a blanket, the teenager sat cross-legged in his bed, imagining the events he experienced today to the most dramatic after returning home from school. It never crossed his craziest mind that he would have such a serious condition and be able to escape it.
‘So how do you feel?’ the voice came to him.
“I feel amazing..this is all thanks to you..”.
‘How about we celebrate?’ the voice said cheerfully.
“Thanks how do you mean?” Jordan frowned not understanding.
‘Follow what I'll sing for you..’.
“I followed you..” and from the lips of Jordan glided the humming of shahdu.
Not always beautiful for rabbits
The hyenas don't just come off bothering you
Hungry them, ready to tear life after stomach filled’
The shadow of ten people******* dressed all in black with a mask that hides the face while storming the dining room at the gala show appears, but, ravaging the night should be a fun night for those invited to Machina Factory, and the herd is nothing like a horde of hungry hyenas.
‘Pursuing frightened rabbit children
Scattered in the meadow for blood, for life
The only ones who survive are those who have not lost hope
Who knows how The Power keeps’
The murderous hyena-hyena wants to finish everyone off, with the main target of the President of the United States, and only one preventing them from doing so, the Power itself, that makes those who are chased like him and Lana managed to escape in the hiding window in the cleaning tool shed on the fourth floor, while Professor McQueen and the Secret Service in the workspace owned by Duncan Tramp.
‘The teeth of the tin they are trying to crush
But the Power gives the bones solubility
Their iron claws are trying to break
But the Power gives the arms of ability’
It appears that when he escaped death, when the hot lead fired by the ****** was held captive by Professor McQueen's bulletproof vest and how it only threw him but survived. Also when he wrestled against *******trained fighting between tear gas in the Duncan Tramp workspace. An opponent's iron-like crab technique somehow fails to subdue him, and instead Jordan's arm has a chance of hitting back at the opponent.
‘Anakala soft prey escaped
And the hyena crowd had to run away
Hunger is not finished with satisfaction
The hungry person who then turned to attack’
A fragment of the story Jordan has never encountered miraculously plays to his mind, how he stands at a door and pushes it open. Inside the room was apparently waiting for two men who were wearing the same uniform that was worn *******. The faces of both of them looked tangled, even looking dumb after being beaten. It is possible that both of them have been beaten by the police who interrogate.and beat criminals who make a roar that almost humiliates the apparatus to the entire city would be a satisfaction in itself.
Jordan saw himself pulling a gun, which at the end of the gun was connected to a silencer. When his figure pulled the trigger, the sound coming out of the weapon was just a squeak, followed by gray smoke. A pair of******** who were not ready to welcome the attack collapsed and died with a hole in their left chest respectively. ‘Hungry’ recognized as part of themselves have preyed on the ******* that. And as the figure walked out the door, Jordan saw something he recognized as something that only existed at the police station…
‘Restore the beauty of pasture for the rabbit boy.’.
Jordan gasps, “What does this mean? Is it ************** that it will die?”
But the voice refused to answer. Leaving Jordan in endless question marks, made him unable to sleep as he continued to think about what he had just drawn in his mind, until finally the teenager decided to write the lyrics of the song he sang just to his diary…
Surprisingly, it is not sleepiness that comes but rather a sense of empathy, which somehow pervades so deeply, for the******* out there that Jordan feels has just lost his life. Although the men were cold-blooded killers and had taken many lives in the attack on Machina Factory, but knowing the end of their tragic fate was heartbreaking for Jordan…the boy was unable to continue writing in his book, he sobbed..cries the ******* which even he does not know their names…
