Pleasing last chapter ;). Short one here, I'm waiting for permission to use more characters.
4 years later…
Alex sat in the café'. It was quiet in there, with just the sounds of the waitresses cleaning up. He slowly sipped his coffee', and looked around. A waitress came up to him, and bent down to pick up a mug. She leant close to him.
'Follow Luigi' she whispered, before hurriedly going back to the kitchen. Alex raised an eyebrow, wondering what she meant. It was weird, but she was probably pretty dodgy, or had mistaken him for someone else. He shrugged and went back to his coffee.
When he got out, it was dark. He put on his coat and began to trudge back to his apartment. He passed the shops on his way, all of them closing up. He passed Claire's, Boots, Woolworths, and a little restaurant called Luigi's. There was a fat balding man closing the shop. Alex stared at the sign, then the man. He would normally have ignored it, but he was curious.
The man pocketed the keys, and began to walk at a slow pace towards the corner. Alex waited for him to round it before following cautiously. It was still cold, so he resolved to only follow for a short while.
Luigi eventually came to an apartment block. He opened the buzzer-door, and Alex barely managed to dive and hold open it and enter, by which time, Luigi was gone from sight. Alex slowly stepped up the stairs to the next floor, thinking he might have come this way. He turned on the spiral bit and felt a massive crunch on the side of his head. He flew a few meters, before landing, his back crunching horribly against the badly painted wall, slumping on the floor. A foot blinded down, hitting him directly in the guts. He buffeted up and down, blood spraying from his throat as he choked. A man in a sharp suit shades and brown cropped hair over his eyes, much like Alex's own hair. The man walked up to him, a gun in his hand. Alex stared, terrified.
'Mr. Gekot. You have been chosen, by Zion, to be used as a soldier. True or false?'
Alex strained his memory.
'Well, a girl said-' He was cut off by the man
'TRUE…OR….FALSE' he said slowly, as if talking to a child.
'Urm…False' Alex said, trying to stand up. He had begun to kneel when an elbow smacked into his face, smashing his head THROUGH the wall. He screamed in agony as he was plucked from the rubble with ease, dangling two meters up above the man. He kicked and shouted, but no help came. The man began to suffocate him, strangling him slowly. Blood began to flow from his mouth again, and he knew these were his last moments…
