Chapter 5: Invitation for lunch.
11.15 am
Tony was standing in front of a three-floors white house.
I hope she's at home ...
He thought as the bell rang.
After a while the front door opened and a girl appeared with gray hair tied in two tails, brown eyes wearing black shoes, a short skirt, a white blouse and a black tie.
"Hi, Anchovy!" He greeted her.
"Tony!" She exclaimed enthusiastically, then hugged him.
"Are you happy to see me?"
"Of course I am, you have not seen for weeks!"
"Well, you know I'm married now ... I do not want my wife to find out about our relationship."
"That's why you make me so few visits?"
"Exactly ... Where else are they?"
"We're here." A voice answered.
Tony looked up as Anchovy turned. In front of them stood Pepperoni and Carpaccio, a girl with long blond hair and olive-colored eyes.
"Hello girls!"
"Hello to you, golden dick!" Carpaccio replied jokingly, winking at him.
Golden dick...
"How are you?"
"Very good. You instead? "
"Me too ... Do you mind if I stop at lunch with you? I have to ... Tell you about an urgent matter. "
"Gladly ... Take a seat."
Anchovy invited him, while the other two looked at him strangely.
11:30 am
"I do not understand the reason for such insistence!" Said Esdeath, addressed to her guests.
"General, I've already explained it to you. Gerel is back in action, and if my fears are grounded, she wants revenge on mankind. "Ajatar told her.
"Can you prove the veracity of your words?"
"I can feel her presence ..."
"I want proof, not perceptions!"
"Is not her word enough?" Leila intervened.
"For nothing. The time of Orson Welles, when a radio program was enough to terrorize the population, have long since ended. I want photos and videos, and I want them authentic, not counterfeit! "
"But we do not have anything like that ..."
"Listen to me! Do you think it's normal to plunge here and tell me fairy tales about alien gods? "
"But they are not fairy tales!" Exclaimed Ajatar, nervous.
"Now that you said it, I really am convinced ..."
Irritated by that answer, the girl stood up and threw a very strong slap on Esdeath, leaving everyone to stone.
"Ajatar!" CC exclaimed.
"She will arrive! Will arrive! And it will kill us all, including you! Is it clear now, you Damn stubborn? "The Scandinavian asked, furious.
Esdeath did not reply for a few minutes, remaining silent and rubbing her right cheek. At one point he stood up in turn, staring at her interlocutor with a murderous look and putting her hand to the gun handle.
"OUT OF MY OFFICE, CRAZY VISIONARY! AND IF YOU COME BACK TO MY MINISTRY I'LL HAVE YOU GUNNED! "She shrieked, furious.
"Damn!" Ajatar cursed, once outside the ministry, a five-floors concrete building.
"Did you really have to slap her? You made her angry! "Leila scolded her.
"You saw too, I think! She did not want to listen to me! "
"I believe it, you slapped her!"
"She was kidding me, okay?"
"Because you did not even give her a proof!"
"I know only one thing, that the perfidious Gerel is approaching and that nobody is listening to my warnings!"
"How did it go?" Edward asked them, waiting for them in the car.
"She put us at the door." CC answered him.
"It's a problem. Now we have no one to turn to. "The boy said, his face dark.
"I could talk to her ..."
"Not at this moment, Leila. She is still nervous about the humiliation she received. We have to wait a few days. "
"CC is right, unfortunately ..."
"In the meantime, what are we doing?" Ajatar asked.
"We can only wait ... Meanwhile, how about a lunch at our house?" Edward suggested.
"It's OK for me. CC, do you agree? "
"Of course, Leila. You will be my guests. "
But listen to these ... The whole world is in danger and they think to eat!
She thought Ajatar nervously.
"And you, Avatar?" Asked her the green.
"I said my name is Ajatar! However I accept, I do not want to stay on an empty stomach."
"Perfect ... Then let's go."
