Chapter 88

It took us several hours to finally find the former President.

He was located at the deepest cell in the Galaxias, a cell that was meant for criminals and for those who have committed an unforgivable sin.

When we got there, the President was just sitting on the floor and he was just staring at the ceiling.

He was wearing an orange pair of clothing, clothing usually worn by prisoners.

“Uncle?” Major Rune asked.

Then, the President looked back and stared to us.

“Oh my dearest nephew, what brings you to this part of Galaxias?” The President asked while smiling.

“Of course I am here to free you from this hell hole! You are the President of Galaxias, you shouldn’t be here!” The Major replied while crying.

I was surprised to see that the very tough Major Rune was crying over the imprisonment of his uncle.

“Why are you crying son? I thought I told you not to show your emotions. Huh?” The President said while chuckling.

“Don’t worry uncle, you’ll be out there in a minute!” The Major replied.

“Just give me a minute uncle; I am just going to find something that can help me to pick the lock of this cell!” The Major added.

“Cut it out already son! There’s no way you can get me out of here! Yes, there’s a possibility that you can take me out of here and pick this lock, but we cannot completely get out of here! That son of a b***h Stronghold was the President now! He has the power all over this place! He runs this place now! With that, we cannot do anything, but to sit back and wait for what’s going to happen!” The President said while smiling.

“Are you saying that I should let them kick you out of this place? Are you saying that I should just watch you leave the place you’ve built with your whole life?” The Major asked his uncle.

“It has to be that way, son.” The President replied while smiling.

“But why? I don’t understand your point! When I was younger, you keep on telling me that the outside world is dangerous! You keep on telling me that the whole outside world is not meant for living and sustaining life anymore! That is the reason why you’ve built this place! That was the reason why you’ve sacrificed your whole damn life building this place! That was the reason why you’ve trained me to be a great soldier! But why are you giving up now uncle?" The Major asked while crying.

“Son, you have to understand; there is no chance of us escaping in this place anymore. You see, the whole board of directors was already in favor of Stronghold. He is also the President at the same time. He commands everyone in this place. If he found out that you are helping me, I am sure that you would be kicked out of this place too!” The former President replied.

“That was fine with me, as long as I am with you!” The Major replied.

“Rune, you’re really still a kid! You have to understand Rune; you should stay in this place still! You should reclaim what’s totally yours! If we both get out of this place; no one would be left here to take back what’s really meant for you from that damn son of a b***h! Gather and tighten up son! I know you can do that, because I raised you to do that! Come on, don’t cry like a little girl right there! Your girlfriend is watching us behind you! Have a little shame!” The President said while chuckling.

“Uncle please, stop joking around! This wasn’t a joke!” The Major replied.

“Rune, I wasn’t joking! I am telling you nothing but the truth, so man up and get out of here before someone sees you here! It would be more dangerous if they saw you here talking to me. They would accuse you that you were helping me to get out of here even though you are not, so get out of this place son! You do not deserve to stay in such dirty place like this!” The President said.

“I don’t care if they saw me while I am here talking to you! I don’t care what they say! Because my main purpose here is I am really getting you out of there and I am going to help you regain your position uncle! I swear to God I am really going to kick that bastard out of your office even that was the last thing I can do!” The Major replied seriously.

“Hey what is that!” A male voice said from out of nowhere.

When I looked back, I saw that it was a guard.

“The both of you must go now!” The President said.

“Rune let’s go!” I said.

“No, I won’t leave my uncle here!” The Major replied.

“It would be a huge problem for all of us if we both got caught!” I replied.

“Leave now Rune! Please carry him away for me Lieutenant Wade! I need you to look after him! Go on! Run as fast as you can! Don’t get caught!” The President said.

“Don’t worry sir, I will! Let’s go now Rune!” I replied.

“I will come back for you uncle, I swear to God I will come back for you!” The Major said seriously to his uncle.

“Go!” The President replied.
