2017 Words
Mina and Ralph stand in front of the store, the woman is standing in the left of the door and her back on the wall. She wears sneakers, jeans, black underwear and a white cotton jacket which covers he arms. And the man is standing on the right of the door, smoking and moaning. He wears a white shirt, a black leatherjacket, black pants and black boots seems as sneakers and clay boots in the same time. The princess says:
Mina: This is the first time the Colonel visits our abode…
Ralph: You know that I hate Charles, so why should I wait for him with you? Why doesn’t Frank wait with you?
Mina: Because you’re the only person I feel comfortable when he stays with me. And you know that well. Don’t forget that you are like my father.
Ralph: Why are we waiting for him out? I feel myself like roast bread, or worse; roast chicken. Why don’t we get in the store?
Mina: I think you don’t know Terry well.
Ralph: What’s the wrong with him? I believe he’s cute cause of his shortness.
Mina: Naughty, very naughty.
Ralph: Really?
Mina: Yeah! I swear! If you speak about something, he’ll tell you what did that guy and that woman about that thing and he won’t finish! I tried it before!
Ralph: Ok, speak lowly! He’ll hear you.
Mina: Ok… Stop smoking, oh my God! You are 70th and you have to take care of your health! I can’t support anymore losing another one I love!
Ralph: What a tiny cigarette! If I smoke a full pack of cigarettes, it won’t be enough for me like the big cigar.
Mina: Unbelievable…
Ralph: So, what did your mother say? Does that speech with the queen concern the Colonel’s meeting?
Mina: Cyrone is the killer of my father.
Ralph: Really? This son of b***h… I’m sorry for your father’s death.
Mina: It’s ok, don’t be sorry. Though that, I have the best second father ever!
Ralph: Thanks, I appreciate it.
Mina: You’re welcome. My mother said also that the colonel has more information about the space and planets.
Ralph: A! That’s why you called me and the team who’s playing now in the abode! Why did you call us?
Mina: I’m thinking about the best plan to avenge to Cyrone.
Ralph: (he coughs strongly and suddenly) What?! What the wrong with you?! That’s why you called the Colonel!
Mina: In your opinion so why do I call that arrogant man?
Ralph: Mina, you’re crazy, or you want to commit a suicide.
Mina: It’s not me who wants to commit a suicide; Steve does. Besides, you’re crazier than me because you are smoking in this age!
Ralph: Oh please come on! Terry smokes also!
Suddenly, a black limousine comes and stops in front of the store. Then, the driver who wears a blue suit with white gloves and a black hat get out of the car and opens the door for his boss; the Colonel Charles. The Colonel wears a closed black leatherjacket like Ralph and black pants and normal boots. He shakes Mina and Ralph by the hand and says to the last one when he looked at his getup:
The Colonel: It seems you are imitating me Mr. Hamilton.
Ralph: (he turns his head) Unbelievable…
Mina: Come in Colonel.
The Colonel: Ladies first.
The princess thanks Charles and gets in. And when Hamilton wants to get in after he throws his cigarette and crashes it, Charles says smiling:
The Colonel: Then, old men second…
The “old man” looks at him angrily and gets in the shop then the Colonel follows him and they find Mina standing next to the cleaning room and saying:
Mina: Colonel, this is Terry, the official guard of the abode.
Terry: Hi sir, pleasure to meet you.
The Colonel: (Looking at him with insulting eyes) Yeah… hi… whatever… So, this is the abode? The abode is the store?
Ralph: (muttering without anyone hears him) What a silly stupid i***t arrogant man!
Mina: (talking to Charles) No, don’t be silly, you’ll discover by your own self. Please just turn and keep your eyes away because I need to write the password.
The Colonel: Ok, it’s fine.
Charles does what the princess ordered him. While she’s passing the security procedures, Hamilton gets closer to her and says lowly:
Ralph: I’ll shoot him next time.
Mina: Be patient for few moments, he’s arrogant but what should we do? We need him.
Ralph: Yeah, we need him to help you to commit a suicide.
Mina: Stop kidding and moaning!
Ralph: If I’ll be patient, I’ll die cause of anger and hate and I’m 70 and the life is still long and I’m still young to die!
The Colonel: Did you finish writing the password, princess?
Mina: Yes, I did, come on.
Mina opens the door and we find the elevator, she gets in with the two men while the Colonel gets surprised by seeing an elevator in a wooden shop. He gets more and more surprised when he sees the buttons from the ground floor to -9. Mina pushes the (-1) and after few seconds, Charles finds himself in front of a large room with transparent walls; the meeting room. The team who are inside the room stops “playing” and every one of them takes his or her seat.
When they get in the room, the princess takes a sit next to Ralph, near the whiteboard and in front of the Colonel. And the last one says:
The Colonel: (anxious) So, why did you ask me to come?
Mina: Her majesty the queen, my mother, said that you have a lot of information about the space and the planets etc… And I want you tell me about them.
The Colonel: (He laughs and seems very comfortable) Ha ha ha! You scared me when you called me! I thought you’ll punish me cause of something I didn’t do or things similar.
Mina: It’s very important and I need the information right now.
The Colonel: Do I have a prize for it? If I told you about that information?
Ralph: (muttering) greedy also…
Mina: What do you want?
The Colonel: I want the one million dollar that you took it from me one day when you brought Oliver Twister with you and you killed the head of the revolution g**g.
Mina: You’ll get it.
The Colonel: And I want another million.
Mina: Why?
The Colonel: To buy more weapons!
Mina keeps her anger and says:
Mina: Ok, You’ll get it. And now, tell me.
The Colonel: Ok so, get ready for the untold truth. There is an alien…
Mina: Cyrone, I know him.
The Colonel: How do you know him? There is no human knows except the soldiers with the biggest titles like me.
Mina: I just knew him, my mother told me about him. And you? How the biggest soldiers know about him?
The Colonel: You didn’t ask me about that. Besides, we promised the queen to not tell anyone in the world, even her daughter. Maybe you’ll discover one day…
Mina: Ok, I start hating secrets. Tell me, what about Cyrone?
The Colonel: That man, we don’t know really how he became so dangerous, kidnaps the humans to show the aliens that he’s a “super hero”, and he’s saving them from us because as they think, we’re always trying to get out of the Earth to attack them and steal their wealth.
Scarlett: That’s not true!
The Colonel: Of course it’s not true darling. Anyway, Cyrone, after he kidnaps the humans, takes them to many planets to show them to the alien public and starts lying to them as we are bad people etc… And he proves that by the humans he kidn*pped as they are the group who is trying to make some spaceships or things similar to execute their fake target. Then, he takes them to Mokera planet to sell them. And as you know, Mokera is the only planet which its people are giants and ugly and eat any fresh meat, even people meat. And because the human doesn’t have super powers, it’s the favourite “dish” for the giants, because it can’t hurt them, and they can eat them without any pain. That’s why, he’s so rich now, as much extent he built a long time ago the universal jail.
Frank: What is the universal jail?
The Colonel: I’ll tell you, French man, don’t cut my sentence again, the universal jail is a huge prison, “swimming” in the galaxy, and Cyrone is the owner. The prisoner are the aliens with different powers who suspected that Cyrone is lying about our story or who want to kill him because they discovered our untold truth and they want to prove for all the galaxy that he’s wrong, actually most of them are wronged and they hate Cyrone like we hate the aliens and maybe more than us. There is also who is outlaw in one of planets and the government of that planet send him with a lot of money to Cyrone’s prison to imprison him.
Mina: Is there a way to get in the universal jail?
The Colonel: No, if he caught you, your end will be in giants’ bellies.
Mina: Can I pretend that I’m alien?
The Colonel: Why?
Ralph: (angry) Mind your business.
The Colonel: Why? Do you know why does Mina want to pretend to be alien?
Ralph: No, I don’t, but mind your business.
The Colonel: (he asks the princess) Why he’s angry today?
Mina: (lying, smiling and looking at Hamilton) I don’t know, he’s maybe moody or he had a bad beginning for today.
The Colonel: I hope you get happy, Hamilton.
Ralph: Thanks, I appreciate it.
The Colonel: Where I was…? Ha! Maybe you can pretend as an alien in a planet which its people don’t use its power always except in emergencies. Like Astrona, they don’t use their powers except in emergencies or sometimes to steal. And of course there are many planets but I don’t actually remember all of them… Do you want another piece of information?
Frank: (muttering) Espèce de bavard …
Mina: Yes please.
The Colonel: The closest planet to the Earth is Vera planet, the planet of fire, and the road actually is too long. That’s why Cyrone stays for a longer time; to energize his spaceships. So that he can travel to other planets. I think it’s a good piece of information for you if you want to travel to there and commit a suicide (Laughing).
Mina: Yeah, you’re right. Anyway, do you have a graph for the universal jail?
The Colonel: No, because we are not Cyrone’s friends! (He thinks himself joking so he laughs while no one is laughing) Ha hi hi… Whatever, any questions?
Mina: No, Colonel, thanks. If I need any other information, I’ll call you.
The Colonel: So, another million.
She looks at him angrily while he sees her and stands up, saying:
The Colonel: I was joking with you. Anyway, if you need any help, call me.
The princess gets up, shakes him and says:
Mina: Thank you, the two millions are in my bank account, take them whenever you want.
The Colonel: You’re welcome. Do you want accompanying me to outside the store?
Mina: A…
Vector: (he stands up) I’ll accompany him, I need to buy something from the store.
The Colonel: Ok well, goodbye. Have a nice and happy day Mr. Hamilton.
Ralph: (looking at him without answering).
Mina: Goodbye! (After Charles gets out, she says to Vector) Thanks, you saved me.
Vector: You’re welcome, I knew it.
After Vector and Charles get out of the room. The princess says angrily:
Mina: I’ll shoot him next time.
Ralph: I told you.
Frank: He’s so arrogant. I’ve never met before someone more arrogant than him.
Ralph: I’ve met (looking at him).
Dina: So, Mina, why do you need all these information?
Mina: We have a new mission, and we’ll divide it into two parts. And this mission will be the riskiest mission we had ever.
Clover: What are you saying?
Mina: I’ll just say that I hope you’ll greet warmly new members in our team.
Ralph: I don’t believe this is really happening…
