FINALLY, CHAPTER 9. ENJOY.
UN HEADQUARTERS, New York, 24th DECEMBER,2013. 2300 HOURS (note: some names in this chapter are fictional)
The chaos has started.
Representatives of almost every country had taken their seat in the large room to discuss about the new crisis that had emerged.
Ryan Higgins, British foreign minister, was currently defending his country in front of the world.
"... And the second bomb was not our doing! It is below our honor to use chemical weapons! To reinforce our alibi, we couldn't prepare the bomb, get to our target,set it up,and get out of there,in just 30 minutes! Even if we could,by some miracle,do that,someone would see us,because everyone was on the streets!"
As soon as he finished,the Argentine foreign minister,Ricardo Carnerra, called out:
"So what? Your people had someone "inside" that set up the bomb. Except for that,Great Britain declared war without any thinking! Did someone in your government thought about terrorists?"
Alessandro Carol, Peruvian representative, said:
"I agree with Argentinian minister, the Great Britain declared war way too soon,without any investigation!"
"Sir,do you know why did we declared it "way too soon"? Because Argentine submarine sunk our cargo ship that was sailing towards the Falklands,and i also heard that a Argentine fighter jet shot down a Brazilian patrolling jet. Am i right?"
Pedro Pablon, Brazilian foreign minister, responded:
"That's right! Our fighter also returned fire and shot it down. We are still searching for our pilot..."
"That's because it entered our country's air space!"
"I beg you pardon? It was not violating your airspace! It was flying alongside ours!"
As soon he ended,murmur started to echo through the big room.
"Your airspace? It's ours,you must be mistaken. Our evidences clearly show here the border between Brazil and Argentina. Please,show the picture." And soon, the projector showed the picture of Brazil and Argentina on the large projector screen. It clearly showed the border between the two countries.
" The Brazilian jet was flying... here,and ours here..." he pointed at the two spots on the screen "... it had to be intercepted."
"Well,as far as i know, our plane was flying at the correct route. Maybe it's navigation was malfunctioning?"
"Gentlemen,please..." Higgins spoke up "... We have a crisis to solve..."
Rio De Jainero,25th December, 0100 HOURS,TULIO'S AVIARY
"Shit...*hiccup*shit...*hiccup*shit...*hiccup*... I should have been smarter...*hickup*" Chanted Blu as he entered the artificial jungle through the open window. Although he was drunk, he managed to get through the window without ending up like Jewel. But, since he discovered his flying abilities a few days ago,he ended up charshing in the artificial river.
"Oh no..."
.
.
.
"She's not awake? Great! I got to get rid of this odor..."
He took a sip of water and he blended it a little, then spitted it out. He then dipped himself in the artificial river,and after a few seconds,he shook the remaining water off. He then flew up into their nest. Surprisingly,Jewel was still sleeping. As he laid aside Jewel,he remembered something:
"Oh no, Christmas is tomorrow! Actually,it's today,but... I didn't made any preparations! I totally lost it,this new environment... I didn't saw Linda making any preparations,too! Geez,what present will i give to Jewel? I-ooooh,my head... It hurts... Grandma,is that you..."
Finally,alcohol, headache and hallucinations crushed him,and he closed his eyes,falling asleep.
JUNGLE NEAR THE Argentine-Brazil BORDER,0130 HOURS
As soon as he landed,2nd lieutenant Cordoza contacted his base,turned on his GPS tracking device,and went for the border. Sure,the SAR(search-and-rescue) mission was launched and his guys were coming for him,but he prefered to cross the border,and then to wait for the rescue party.
But then,he heard engine noise and 2 pairs of headlights. He quickly threw himself to the ground, as he saw two Argentine HUMVEE's driving past him on the nearby road. After they have left,he continued moving towards the border. As he pulled out a map,he calculated the time he will need to cross the border.
"If the map's right,i'll need... about five minutes! I didn't knew i was shot down so close to the border!"
Cordoza started to speed up a little to get across the border. After 2 or 3 minutes, he heard helicopter engine sound. Two Brazil UH-60L Black Hawk helicopters flew right over him. They soon made a turn,and one of them came right over him and started to hover,while other one patrolled the area.
Soon,a rescuer was descended to pick him up.
"Are you all right,sir?"
"Yes,i am. Now,lets get the hell out of here!"
"Roger that,sir! Hold onto this really tight!"
As Cordoza held onto the handle,he was pulled up into the helicopter,and the rescuer followed suit. But, as soon as the helicopters took off, those 2 HUMVEE's found them and opened fire with their machine guns. The second helicopter was hit,but they managed to cross the border. The operation was a success.
I'M SORRY FOR THE ULTRA-SHORT CHAPTER,I HAVEN'T GOT MUCH TIME TO WRITE IT DOWN. I ALSO HAVE AN ALIBI FOR THE Christmas IDEA: WHEN Blu,Linda AND Tulio LEFT Minnesota, IT WAS SNOWING HEAVILY. WHICH MEANT Christmas WAS NOT FAR AWAY. I FORGOT TO WRITE,OR EVEN TO MENTION Christmas BEFORE, BECAUSE IT WAS September WHEN I WROTE THE LAST "REAL" CHAPTER.
NEXT CHAPTER COMING TOMORROW!
