Alfred was a little nervous about the meeting yet excited. Oh it was so long since he saw all the countries at a meeting. He looked through the slide show. Every department did a slide for him approved by Aden and the other members. Alfred had such mix feeling about Aden. Aden had paid his debt, gave him clean air and water, brought back endangered animals, colonized mars and the moon, established great clean public transportation it was the fastest train in the world only forty five minutes from Los Angeles to Washington D.C. His army was now so advanced that it blew everyone else out of the water, he solved the obesity epidemic, he had America's schools the best, also the tallest building was in America it was in the shape of an orchid the petals became different colors, but, the price was great. Alfred and the American people paid in their in blood.
Five thousand lives were lost in the space efforts alone. When one ship lost its pressure and many children and families died Alfred came to say sorry to Aden, Aden replied with, "Sorry for what? So what all people are replaceable the ends justify the means no one was ever great without giving up something of value."
Alfred felt sick and angry, "Those were my children" he yelled.
"You are weak. That is why you are where you are today. You think Russia cared when he beat you to put someone in space who many died? You think China cares about how many people die in his factories? You think England cared about his colonies the ones he raped there land and set to work? No, only weak people like you care about people. The ends justify the means." His voice was like hail hitting his body.
"You're wrong! They all matter I'm the hero and I will protect them for you. You're the one who is sick you are a murder."
"The hero? Please you let down your people and always have. Your nothing, you can't see the vision America. People have to die for us to become great." Aden said easily.
America was sick, "America is about being happ-"
"America is about always being the best at any and all cost. Stupid fool."
"No, no America is number one because we want to be and can be!"
"Wrong, you can't want to be number one you must kill and sacrifice to be the best. You're a lazy country and full of fat disgusting welfare trash."
And, that was that Aden was so angry with Alfred he really hated him. Still Alfred thought that Aden's heart was in the right place. Maybe Aden was like that because someone said evil things to him. He could maybe save Aden he thought he was a hero. Even though everyday part of the hero faded a little. Aden thought Alfred was immature. Immature was not really that bad. Aden only said one nice thing about him that he was attractive Aden said he was at least lucky to have a very handsome country.
Oh, it was just horrible what they did to his people. He cried for them. The public executions were the worst. He had to be held back the entire security force. They would chop people up, crush them, burn them alive, and just do horrible things. Victor was in charge of overseeing them he always laughed at them. Alfred really hated Victor and Lexi because they got such pleasure at causing death. Lexi was always looking for ways to start wars. Thank the heavens he had not found any way. Victor did the same with the American people he said they were threats. There were no trials anymore. Alfred was slapped on the head it was Lei. "Hey pay attention ok. You must deliver this flawlessly."
"I know Lei and I the hero won't let you down." Lei rolled his eyes.
"Fine I will be there with you anyway."
