STRANGER OF THE CITY

EPISODE 9

Then it took off in the air and left his companions getting into the black car on their left and leaving without saying goodbye to James. James was left speechless as his heart raced.

While he continued to wonder, suddenly three black dogs wearing white shoes passed by talking about what their boss did to them when he left work. One of them was heard saying, "There are no animals as comfortable as dogs and cats, yesterday the boss came home from work and brought us roast meat and..."

"Absolutely no one like us, that is we are very loved" another dog said.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! A lot, that is..." they laughed together and the conversation became increasingly intense between them.

When James saw that, he closed his eyes and couldn't believe what he was seeing, "Aren't these dogs?" he spoke to himself and started running while saying out loud, "Hey! I mean even the dogs are talking! No, it's impossible, it's impossible, tell me where I am! He ran while trembling, not knowing where he was going. Every time he ran, he saw that he needed to run more, but where he ran He found the sea with red water. When he looked ahead he saw a military boat, he quickly turned back to where he came from.

When he turned around, his shirt was pulled by a tall white girl of German origin.

"We! Where are you going? Where are you? What are you doing here? You're causing trouble, aren't you?" questions came out of the girl continuously without even stopping. He added, "My name is Malaika and now I assure you that you are not going anywhere..."

James's hair stood up and his eyes looked at her with fear and doubt shedding tears as they did not know where the girl had come from. Heart beat raced, he panted like a dog that ran hundreds of miles. He quivered his lips like a child doused in cold water in winter. His sense of humor was gone, that is, all he needed was the sympathy of the girl who wore green and black colored suits.

While he continued to be tormented with great fear in his heart. Malaika gave words to James with anger that wrinkled her face and made her face lose its attraction and now her whole face became red, "You can't go anywhere, I'm a soldier on duty and I protect this place. And let me just tell you that you are not violent; this city is protected body and soul by people we've been looking for you day and night, you've been singing bad news about us knowing we won't see each other. only those with high status and authority.

Don't joke, this is a more valuable city than all the cities you've ever been to and heard of. Malaika continued to shout, "It is not enough that there are gold jewels such as palaces and many others and that is why we have to put it under protection so that this city will not be destroyed and polluted by creatures of your kind. This is a city that is more valuable than Rome in the past and now, again here It's more than Paris, and London has been popular for years. Even Beijing and Berlin can't compare to this city. Even if you're in Dubai, New York and Washington, you can say you've visited beautiful cities; know that you can't compare with this city.

If you try to compare with the cities of the Caribbean islands and here it is completely useless. There and everywhere is completely free, nothing in Hong Kong or Shanghai. This city is the most proud of the world, if you come here learn the culture and laws of Kwetu. This city is the eternal abode. The creatures here are of great value and no creature can die here for us". Malaika continued to praise the City of Wonders while she was frowning fiercely. She had lost all her beauty by frowning, she spoke passionately and emphatically.

James, not knowing the meaning of these words, changed suddenly and removed his fear and then filled his heart with pride. His body boiled and he clenched his fists wanting to fight the tall woman who called herself Malaika, who was talking to herself all the time. James got tired of obeying him and looked at him. He wished to cut Malaika into pieces and drown her in the sea.

After seeing James wanting to fight, the woman pulled out a red sword like a fiery crab from the ground and threatened James saying, "I will cut you. We know your thoughts before you think. James, we have your information at the Military Headquarters of the City of Wonders. Calm down, let me show you, all what you're doing is tripping us up. We've been recording everything since you entered this city."

James suddenly found himself in an army car, he didn't even remember how he got in. The car left in an unknown direction James was shouting. Strangely, the car had glass windows but he could not see outside, when he looked he only saw himself in those glasses and the things inside the car.

*********************

A male voice was heard saying to James in the car, "Get down quickly!" since man is not made of metal, heart beating is normal. That is where the Headquarters of the Army of the City of Wonders was located and that is where the offenders were brought after going against the rules and regulations of the City of Wonders. Its landscape was attractive with relatively tall buildings and green gardens.

When James came down, he was shocked to see Binti Malaika at the Headquarters without even a trace of anger; He let out a loud laugh until the last tooth showed out. It was a joy in his heart when he saw himself being promoted to stardom. For James it's t*****e, he only experienced trouble. It was fear accompanied by crying in the heart but he gave himself courage saying to himself, "Hate the razor; with God is justice."

When he looked up he saw many birds flying around in the air, descending and ascending like swallows. He looked up without bowing his head as he watched the roaring planes and froze for a long time of relatively tall buildings. The buildings were in the middle of a beautiful forest planted with beautiful trees; which bloomed flowers of every color while birds and bees seemed to enjoy this landscape in the area with great authority in the city.

In front of the buildings there was a small airport and they landed on the ground. When James continued to open his eyes, he was shocked to see a person who was shining in his white clothes, and his skin gave off a bright light that made James close his eyes so that they would not continue to hurt. A loud, echoing voice was heard commanding, "Everything must be stopped at once and no soldier should step forward anywhere; if there is a man whose soldier's recovery is to close his eyes. Seconds, minutes and hours passed, James feeling tired of closing his eyes, heard them again As the planes roared there, he felt them take off.

Finally he heard the voice of the army ordering the procedures at the Army Headquarters to continue as usual. When he opened his eyes, he found himself surrounded by ten soldiers. The ground he stepped on seemed to look gold, diamonds and tanzanite, the soldier quickly took him to the administration building.
