* * * * * * * *
"Put your hands on your heads right now!"
Slowly we did after hearing a gunshot.

An old red haired man with a young woman came out of the shadows...they were holding guns and the way they looked at us made me really scared.
"Who are you?" The man asked us.
Nat answered immediately. "We are from one of the shelters...we just came across this place to..."
The man cut Nat in. "Are you spys!, Did Gerald send you?"
"Roman leave them, they are just kids" the woman tried to intervene.slowly lowering her gun down.
"What have you come here to do?" The man kept asking..
"Roman!" He looked at the woman...as she calmed him down and took the gun from him.
"Are you all lost?"
The woman asked us...as we slowly put our hands down. "I'm Miranda by the way"
"My name's Adeola.. this is Nat and Harriet, we are from the shelter...we were just looking for a safe place to hide."
The old man began to laugh... Mockingly
"Yes right...safe place, no where is safe"
I was really beginning to dislike his attitude, but I had respect for old people and I wasn't the type to be rude, but this was a matter of urgency and I had no choice.
"You put up a dog alarm... trying to scare whoever tried getting into that tunnel away...but unknown to you there are very few animals remaining here...or even healthy ones, I was curious to check it out so I got in...only to see a secret room....here is safe, but you made it unsafe...i didn't think of an underground shelter...but it really makes sense cause it would be off the grid...alot of kids are out there suffering...I have no idea what those military men would do...."
Roman intoned "Of course you have no f**king idea... Gerald is a monster and you would know that if you were in the military.."
I realized that the man might have been in the military too.
"And hiding all the time won't stop him...it will only make things worse.."
We got closer to the screens. As he put them on for us to see... It looked so...I was actually lost for words. There was a place where seven young civilians were lined out while kneeling, and on the count of three I saw them being shot with countless bullets.... it was a massacre, their was another clip of some lab doctors injecting a particular fluid into the wrists of some civilians...and cries could be heard as I realized that the fluid caused some excruciating pain to the victims injected and I remembered what Nat said about the
Sovia fluid.
There was another video of children being captured and mother's beaten because of the resistance. I couldn't take it anymore.
Roman said bitterly "He is planning something and with the right amounts of minions or Men who are his sycophants...he is going to make freewill a wish or a dream to attain... Gerald wants to Capture other countries and make them his... although we have plans of slowing down his operations we have no means"
I wasn't thinking anymore as I chimed in
"We can help you!"
"Are you sure about that .. risking your lives for this?" Roman asked me surprised.
Nat Leaned on to my ear and whispered...."Can we talk about this first..."
I excused myself and looked on at Harriet, who kept an expressionless face.
"What are you saying? How exactly are we going to help him?"
I gave his shoulder a quick squeeze. "Listen to me...If we really want to save those children, we have to strike a deal and this Mr Roman guy he has got a plan..." I faced Harriet. As she spoke "I like your selflessness AD , You are willing to Risk your life for the people you just met today and seeing that I have got nothing to lose I will join you .."
Nat sighed deeply..."you guys make it hard..."
I smiled.
Talking to Roman again...
" We can strike a deal.....if you let the children hide in this big shelter then we can help you get what you need to slow down the operation."
Roman looked at Miranda..." Just the Three of you?...That won't work I need atleast 10 of you"
Nat rushed "we are many ....we can do this"
"There's another passage way to get in and out ..bring the kids....you have from now till tomorrow. Morning"
Miranda said.
****
We had a deal... rushing back to the tent.. we told Garth about it...he was a bit confused...and wondered if we could trust them...that was when trust came in...I was in conflict...and decided that I had to get some answers.
Moving far from the camping ground I called on her.
"Yes Adeola...what would you like from me?"
I sighed. This is my second question.
"Can Roman be trusted?"
ONE took a second to reply.
"I can not tell you if Roman is to be trusted or not...I can only warn you or give you an evaluation on each of the pasts events of ... People you have met.. and it is a fact that Roman who used to be Gerald's Bestfriend had gotten into a huge clash....after losing his wive to a war Caused by Luciano Gerald. "
"So they are enemies right?"
"is this a question? Or a statement?"
ONE asked me.
"It's a statement..."
I lied .
Making her continue from where she stopped. "they are enemies, And the only difference between Luciano and Roman is the gun power, army and and followers Luciano has... Leaving Roman with the intelligence and knowledge of something Luciano can never get his hands on..."
I nodded.
"THEY ARE BOTH POWERFUL MEN IN THEIR OWN WAY"
I got back to the camp ground and moved to Garth's tent .".he can be trusted...i just know" He thought for awhile and agreed asking me to go to rest as it was already night time .so I walked out checking the tents one by one till I spotted that girl from earlier and slept beside her... whispering that everything was going to be okay.
Preparing for the second day...
