King Felix the VII makes his stand.
"As a result of the problem of law enforcement,demand of concrete justice,the demand of the retribution theory and the regard of human life,the Espania government has decided not free Aaron Arckerman.The Espania government will not be involved in any negotions with revolutionists turned to criminals.We are not involved in any of the criminal allegations made by the revolutionists ,therefore we will not be intimidated.If their allegations are true,they can hand over their evidence to The world security organization-"
"s**t!"Marlon yelled as he flung a chair to the wall.
"I can't believe they are doing this.They know we will not harm the holstages.We have no power against them!"Tohr joined in.
"We have the documents.We cannot let them intimidate us."
"What happens now?.We are all dead"
Debra looked on as the males confronted each other.They were not paying attention to the screen to see the armed soldiers getting into the mall.
"Guys,"
Her soft voice did not get through.
"They are coming to get you!"She yelled.
Their chatter of strategic planning stopped as they turned to her with annoyed expressions.
"Got any suggestions woman?"A tall one asked.
Debra pointed to the screen.
"You should Concentrate on getting out of here alive before the whole lot of you ends up in the colony."
A couple of rustles and grunts later and they were all readying to leave.
"Let's go"Marlon said as he grabbed Debra's arm.
"What?"
"You are coming with us"
"Why?"
Marlon pointed to the holstages who were looking at Debra with confused expressions.
Debra's mind went blank as Marlon dragged her out.
Her grahmen had been right.She was going to be exiled.Trouble had followed her and she had no way out.
"Hold on"Marlon grunted as he lifted a dazed Debra to his shoulder.
"This way"Bombino called out.
They got into the Thirty seventh elevator that would let them leave the enterprises.The soldiers were met by excited holstages.

When Debra came to ,she was lying on a comfy warmth.The rumble of male voices registered first.When she opened her eyes she was met by dark orbs she knew all too well.
"What happened?"She asked as she tried to sit up.
"Give her this"Her grahmen's weak voice said.
Her grahmen.
Debra jumped up and stared at her grandmother.
"Don't explain yourself.This gentlemen told me everything"
It was then that Debra saw the men in her living room.
"Are you guys serious?.Of all the places you could go to you decided to settle for my home?"
"The last time we were here your grandma offered her home in case we ever needed it-"
Debra looked at her grahmen with a confused expression.Hadnt she been the one who gave Debbie a lecture on being good?.
"She understands.Now that you are alright you may tend to your guests Maria.I am tired and I need to rest"
Her grahmen settled for the love coach and turned to watching the males.
Debra turned to the males who looked at her expectantly.
"For the life in me I can't cook.But I can order burgers if you are hungry"She said nonchalantly.
"Don't worry about a thing.Your little sister already served us"Tohr said.
Debra sighed in relief.She was too tired to even lift a finger.
"So who do you belong to?.They are all good males"Her grahmen asked.
Debra felt heat rise to her ears as the men grumbled "Marlon" in unison.
"We are not really-"
"No-"
They both stopped talking as they saw the amused faces of the men.Debra realised that the topic was one she wouldn't be addressing any time soon.Or hopefully ever.
"Did she tell you I'm dying?.It would be nice to have a strong male to protect her when I'm gone"
Marlon felt uncomfortable.It was at the tip of his tongue to say that he was married.Well,sort of divorced now that Hannah had left him for the states.Yet the old lady looked at him with an admiration that melted his somber heart.
"Marlon will do a good job of that.Though Debbie never mentioned that you were ill"Bombino saved Marlon from making any explanations.
"She doesn't want to accept it.I'm old and leaving this world is a blessing.Its nothing though.A little rotting can't hurt,no?"Grahmen said with a chuckle.
Debra felt tears sting her eyes.
"I am proud of my girls.I know that when I'm gone they will be strong enough to handle anything that comes their way -"Her grahmen continued her chatter.
Marlon occasionally glanced at Debra.He marvelled at her strength.God knows how hard it was for her to see her grandmother slowly fading away.At that moment he saw the woman behind the ice queen exterior.It took everything in him to not hold her.
Amid her chatter, Debra's grandmother dozed off.
The males turned to Debra with sympathetic gazes.
"Please don't."Debra said.
"How long does she have?"Tohr asked.
"It's still in it's early stages.If I find a donor soon she might live.But if not,I can hope and pray for more time"
"We are sorry"
"She is a great woman.I now understand where you get your strength from"
Debra smiled and thanked the men .
"Enough about me.What happens next for you guys?"
The males looked at each other.
"Well,it's no secret that we are now wanted criminals.We'll be hiding for a longer while as we wait for things to calm down"Tohr said.
"What about the evidence against the culprits of the red trade?"
"We still don't know what step to take yet.These people just proved that we are meaningless to them. It will take more than what we have to take them down."Bombino grumbled.
"You Know I'm now part of your revolution.You are using my house as a hideout"Debra blurted out.The men winced at her bluntness.
After a moment of silence Bombino spoke up.
"About last time,thank you.You saved us back there.I can only Imagine where we would be if you had not intervened"
Debra could only nod and pray she wouldn't regret her decision any time soon.Marlon seemed to read her thoughts.
He nudged Debra's shoulder.
"We will not let you go down.I can promise that."
"Promise"The men said.
"Hope you keep it"Debra said.
She really hoped they did.Life in exile was not part of her plan.
