LiTTLE CHERiNE Book 02 - post179
Ο Σάββας του μίλησε, η φωνή του ήταν μαλακή. "Τι επιθυμείς; Εξακολουθείς να βλέπεις την ομάδα σου να παίρνει το σωστό δρόμο; Ξέχασε ότι θέλουν να μας σκοτώσουν, δεν είναι αυτό το θέμα. Κατά κάποιο τρόπο, αυτό που είναι πιό σημαντικό εδώ είναι το ερώτημα, γιατί έγινες αστυνομικός; Ποιός τρόπος θα εξυπηρετούσε τα όνειρά σου καλύτερα; "
Savva spoke to him, his voice soft. “What do you wish? Do you still see your group as taking the right path? Forget about them wanting to kill us, that is not the issue. In a way, what is important here is the question, why did you become a policeman? Which way would serve your dreams best?”
1156
“You know the answer to that Savva, I no longer have an option.” He paused, his eyes closed as if he were reaching deep into himself. “I have no option. I am no longer theirs. Use me if it will help bring about what you want for mankind.”
Diana gently asked, “Are you saddened because you feel you are betraying your friends?”
“No.” He grimaced. “They have never been friends. I am a tool and as a tool I was to be rewarded. Some of them have fearsome powers. I saw that and felt I was serving an elite group who would bring about the changes I craved. I became a policeman because criminals killed my father. My mother had long since died from an illness and I lived for my father. He was all I had to love and they killed him. He was not an innocent victim. He too was a criminal, a thief. I wanted to break away from that, make this a better world.
You ask why I am saddened. It is because I have seen you, the love between all of you. I see that I can only be your tool, and that will be good, but I also see what I will not have since I can never become one of you.”
“What do you think it takes to become one of us?” I asked softly.
He shrugged but did not reply. Theresa did. “You cannot become one of us because you cannot love.”
He nodded again. She stood up and went to him. “Wendy, I do not know how to do this. Help me? Let him see inside me.” She was the right choice so I kept quiet.
It was time for him to go, when he returned to his own body. He sat without reacting, lost in a world inside himself. He shook himself and looked at me directly. “It does not matter. I have no choice. Roberto, ask me what you would know of the group.”
“Is there even one other amongst them worth befriending?”
“One, but he will not be so within hours.”
“What do you mean.”
“You met him. The Chief of Police. He is the only one amongst them whom I admired and respected. He truly wishes to improve the life of people.”
“Why will it be too late within hours?”
“When I am in his office he will have to kill me for failing, or else he will be killed. He saw to it that I take the position of Savva so that I could raid you this morning.”
“Shit! You mean I do not get a chance to rest for a while.”
“What are you talking about! You must not go up against him!”
“What are his powers.”
“They are of the mind. He would make you obey him, compel you to do whatever he wants.”
“Oh that! I’ve dealt with that before - haven’t I Cherine?”
She laughed. “I owe you one for that Robert.”
1157
“And you may collect with pleasure love.”
I decided I had to act fast. First I got my healer to paralyse him. He stared at me without fear and I gave him a plus for that. “Listen to me carefully so that you do not end up going through hell for nothing. You have been accepted as a friend and we do not send our friends off to die. This is what I intend doing.
I have paralysed you, but it is only temporary. What I actually intend doing is putting you into a coma. A part of your brain will be activated so that you mumble away continuously. We will call the Chief and insist he personally collects you. He will panic that you may be saying things you should not and will do as I ask. When he arrives, he will take you away. You will suddenly have a miraculous recovery and he will let you go, in front of his men. He will then leave them to go home.
What will actually happen is quite different. Soon as he arrives he will be put into a coma. One of us will assume his appearance and take you out. When you are released you will both return here. Do I have your promise that you will do so?”
“He will kill you.”
“So what! I’ve already died about five times. I do not like staying dead, I need to be with my loved ones too much. Promise me you will return.” My casual banter at a time of such stress must have made everything sound very unreal to him, but he did as I asked and replied, “I promise.”
He slipped into a coma and began to mumble, I opened the front door. “Officer, there is something wrong. Officer Assimides has collapsed and seems to be in a coma. Please come in, we need to get some help immediately.” I was busy planting suggestions into his mind as he entered.
“I better call the Chief.”
“Please do so.”
“Stratige (Chief of Police or General), officer Assimides is in a coma. The only sign of life is his continuous mumbling. He has not stopped talking. The people here refuse to release him into my custody. They say they gave you an undertaking and insist you take him personally.” He listened for a while. “I understand. I will do so.”
“The chief insists I stay here with him. He asks that you leave the room immediately until he arrives.”
“With pleasure. It will take a while for him to arrive, would you like a sandwich and coffee?”
Dommi took it to him. She smiled when she saw him trying to listen to the mumbling. I was not allowing him to say anything of importance. At that moment he was re-living a day at the beach with friends.
“Is it really safe to talk?”
“Yes. The protector worked out how their minds were reaching into here. All it had to do was block all gifts from passing through it.”
Savva was all agog, not believing what I planned. “You really are going to kidnap the Chief of Police of all Greece?”
“Unfortunately yes. Guys I really am tired, that is why I say unfortunately. Maybe we can spare an hour, keep him in a coma while I get some sleep?”
Concerned, Alki asked, “Are you wearing yourself out Roberto?”
“No. The girls would be the first to squawk if I did. It is just a natural tiredness. I was worried and could not sleep much last night.”
“Squawk indeed!!” They were all indignant, hamming it up, hoping to revive my spirits that way. I grinned at Cherine.
“I have worked out why we called ourselves Cherinians.”
1158
“This better be good.” she answered fiercely.
“Oh it is! Do you remember how, in the beginning I got angry with you for manipulating people? What more fitting name, than to have us named after a manipulator. It seems to be all we do.”
“I owe you another one - a big one! And don’t you dare say ‘a pleasure’!!”
I had taken a gamble and luckily I turned out to be right. He did not come with ambulances and so on. He came in and ordered the men to carry the body to his car. We stayed out of the room, pretending we had not heard him enter. Soon as they left the room he collapsed and we ran in. Savva had already changed himself and we stripped him, Savva putting on his clothes. A couple of the others had gone out to talk and delay the return of the men, just in case they were thinking of returning for any reason.
The Chief walked out and ordered the men to follow his car to the hospital. About four blocks away Michaeli opened his eyes and sat up. He looked at his Chief, not certain, but Savva winked at him and ordered his driver to pull over. The other car came to a halt directly behind them and the men came over to see what is happening.
“Are you sure you feel well enough to go home on your own?”
“Yes sir. I had a difficult night last night and today was a shock. I just need to eat something and go to bed.”
“Take the day off tomorrow. I expect to see you in my office after tomorrow at eleven.”
“I’ll be there sir.”
“You let me down today, I am disappointed in you, but I do not forget all the good work you have done. So have a good rest and we’ll see what we can do for you. Luckily none of them are pressing charges.”
“Yes sir, they told me so.”
He left and Savva now had the problem of getting away from his driver. He told him to take him to the kafeneion near his house as he needed a drink. It must have been something he did sometimes, for the driver was not surprised and dropped him off.
“Will you be needing me tonight sir?”
“No. Wait for me at the office tomorrow. I am being picked up to go to a meeting first. Get my secretary to cancel any early meetings.”
“Yes sir, goodnight sir.”
It did not take him long to find an empty spot and he jumped back. Soon afterwards Michaeli was back. We arranged a room for him and I went to bed for a short nap. Only Tina came in and sitting by me massaged my back, letting her healing hands calm my mind and heart.
