Clap-Clap-Clap the garage doors opened, again Clap clap clap Almost as if welcoming someone or something.
As the moonlight shined inside the garage i could see a couple of guys who were near the garage doors, clown masks
THE PROTESTORS? WHY?
A black jeep entered the garage, Its roaring engine almost like an announcement to everyone
The clowns got in two lines as the jeep doors opened a figure as tall as two average humans "Oh? What is this, won't even leave to say hello?" His voice deep, crappy almost as if talking through a filter
I should've felt anxiety, I should've been scared but instead I broke the window of the bus with my left leg "Who are you all?"
Then jumped out, stretching my left arm in the process "WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?"
Then stood straight looking around me to the people in room Thirty at least.. All in clown masks, some had a tear on the mask some two while some had a broken mask covering only half of their upper face with a wildcard tattoo on their cheeks
"And where the FUCK am i?"
That's their leader? Almost as if welcoming royalty…. Cosplay freaks? Just freaks?
"Hahaha, the newbie got guts huh?" He looked behind him as a shorter figure also left the car "People with guts die first."
"Bahaha, that's why he's here so soon. I expected more from HER consort!"
Her?
Consort? the woman who gave me the phone?
"Where is my phone!?"
"Hm?" he leaned into the car then leaned back and waved his hand around with a phone "You mean this?"
"Give it back and you didn't answer me ,WHO ARE YOU?"
"Hey relaaax i've got mine so what's the point of stealing eh?" he threw the phone in the air "Catch~" the clowns in the room jolted for the phone wanting to get it, feeling like it's important like i'm missing something i as well ran forward
Shoving aside others barely caughting it i glared at others as they stepped back into the two lines
The guy who threw it laughed a bit, then the shorter one stepped forward "As for who we are.. We like to call ourselves.."
Suddenly police sirens were emerging from the distance
"Well there are a lot of names for us but we like to call ourselves the Special militaristic and terroristic unit of Belan or SMATUB in short."
Smatub? I shivered at its name "Smatub.. A multinational terrorist organization which brought many regions under their control in the east and fights for the underground in the west.. Your the .. King?"
He laughed a bit "Of course not, I'm a pawn in the system just like you are. Albeit the tides are slowly changing." Glancing at my phone he continued "Slowly but surely."
"What do terrorists have with me?..Wait no.." Looking around the room at the disgusting state of my country, protesters with clown masks passed through my mind "Smatub is the one organizing the protests?"
"Why? How did terrorists even manage to.. We are a civilized society God.."
"Students are the ones organizing, we just serve to lit the fire under both the gover-Auch Whats that for Lizia?"
"Your mouth is too big, let me do the talking."
"Whatever" he turned around and took a cigarette pack out, the shorter meanwhile continued "We don't have anything to do with you, you got something which we as well have used since these past few months." It pointed to my hand with the phone. "We were curious to see who is her consort, and Mr.pagan's successor."
"You know Pagan raiika? and who is that HER you keep talking about?"
"Knew? haaah.. Knew hm." She looked down for a bit almost as if remembering something "You could say we were close."
the bigger clown who was now smoking a ciggarete turned around to look at her almost surprised by her words but stayed silent A terrorist liking another degen- wonderful
Wait… Pictures of the police van on its roof and clowns waging a shootout with police flashed through my mind
"Was that you? At gaskicka street 811? the white vans shooting..The police van, you tried saving him?"
it hummed a bit, its voice almost distorted "Hmmm I don't remember giving such orders.. Mini?" it looked back at the bigger clown "Nah, fuck Pagan."
"You heard him."
The police sirens were now closer to us, i was getting stressed a bit but they almost didn't care
"Why are you answering all of my questions so easily?"
"Hmmm, I wonder why."
