Chapter 1: Don't Look Back
He had to get home as soon as possible, before his lieutenant Kowalski would blow up his whole HQ. He knew that he shouldn't have left the HQ while the genius was working on an experiment, but sometimes you've got to do what you've got to do. He really wished that he could let Rico pick up those new untested explosives, but that would probably mean the end of civilization. He wasn't sure if Kowalski and his experiment were any better, but he had to trust him. His hand ran through his thick black hair, while his blue eyes were fixed upon the street before him. He really didn't wanted to be here.
She knew that she had to find a place to sleep. She looked at the abandoned streets before her. Suddenly a man came around the corner. He wore a long black coat and looked wealthy, though desperation was written all over his face. She knew that this could be her only chance. She took it with both hands. She called out to the man on the street.
"Sir, can you help me? It's cold and I have nowhere to sleep, is there somewhere you can tell me?" She already knew his answer. If he would answer her.
He saw her when he turned around the bend. She had straw blond hair, hanging filthy round her head. Her face was pale and her body was thin. He knew what she wanted and what she needed. But he couldn't help her. He had to bring the explosives back to the HQ and make sure everything was alright there. He decided to walk on. He didn't look back. He pretended that he couldn't hear her. He started to whistle one of those tunes which he never could get out of his head, because of Private singing them again and again and again. He was a bit embarrassed that he had moved this slowly. He should have been back by now. He crossed the street.
She calls out to the man on the street
"Sir, can you help me?
It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep,
Is there somewhere you can tell me?"
He walks on, doesn't look back
He pretends he can't hear her
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
Seems embarrassed to be there
Think twice,
It's just another day for you.
You and me in paradise.
Another day in paradise.
Just think about it.
