9 chapter 9
The handgun is shaking in the young lad's hands since he was raised to not cause harm towards others. The boy loved wrestling and fighting but that was mere competition. Yet, this was a life and death situation and not to be taken lightly.
The general spoke," You have never killed a man before, have you lad?"
The boy remains silent while having the gun in his hands.
The man spoke," I did not think so! The first kill is usually the hardest! I remember the first time I killed someone in war times. They were the enemy in the battle, yet it did not make it any easier for me! They bled just like me but I still had to kill them. So I did kill them before I was killed by them. It was kill or be killed in war and I had no other choice. I am sure the man I killed in war had a family like I do but I had to take him from his family. I did this by shooting this enemy's face off and the image of the defaced man still stays with me over all these years! I will take that horror from you and face towards the wall. That is all that I can do with you, my young lad! I will not hate you if you take
my life!"
The boy is starting to cry extravagantly and throws the guns behind the desk. The gun was
loaded and it goes off.
The gunshot hits the wall that is on the same side that the general was on. The bullet was
embedded in the wall twenty feet away from the general.
The boy cries out," I just can not do it! You are a good man and I will not kill you! It is just wrong, since I see the goodness in your eyes! I saw the Maker standing behind you as if he was standing in your place! I could not shoot Him!"
The officer turns around and remains silent. He walks over to the gun and picks it off the ground. He walks over to his desk, puts the gun in a drawer, and locks the desk drawer.
The general speaks," When I was a little boy I heard about the story of a hen who let herself be burned so that she could protect her chicks. She died but all the chicks who were under her body lived. To answer your question the reason I associate with such evil men is that I can better protect those under my command if I stay. Does that answer your question?"
The boy nods his head in agreement.
The general speaks,"Do not worry I will look after you and try to make this travesty easier on you! I can not take you out of this place but I can protect you the best I can. Become strong so you could make these place better!"
The boy smiles which is returned by the general.

William and Susie were a couple of ministers that had been infertile for years but finally had given birth to a son. They were speechless when their son was born,
It was happy times for twelve years then the boy was taken by the Urano military by force.
They were at home praying for their son's safe return.
This boy was the fulfillment of a promise that God had given William and Susie all so long ago.
He brought so much joy to the couple's life but the military had stolen their boy to meet
whatever means that the Urano faction had sought.
To what means that was unknown to the boy's parents and only those wanted him knew that answer.
Susie cried out with tears in her eyes as yells," Why did they want our only son? He is all we have!"
The two were sitting on their front room rug crying their eyes in intercession prayer.
They had no longer had the son that they had cherished for so many years.
William begin to pray out loud," Lord please help us get our son that you had given us. This is the promise that you given us and I know you will not let the heathens take from us what you have given us!"
The couple was lost in sheer sorrow as an unspeakable joy comes over the couple.
A still small voice speaks," It is all right! He is in good hands now and he will be protected. Do not fear!"
The couple hold each other on the floor with tears in their eyes and begin their God for his intervention.
Susie speaks," I know that he is not home but we have faith that it will all work out. Thank you!"

Thousands of miles away at undisclosed location there contain the son of William and Susie.
The boy was at a mysterious military base with a loaded gun in his shaky hands, while the gun was being pointed at an unnamed officer.
The officer speaks," Like I said before, I would not blame you if you shot me to death! Go
ahead if you want!"
Tears was flowing from the eyes and the boy spoke," I can not do it! I can not kill you even if
you deserve it! It is not right that much I know to be true."
The boy put the handgun on the desk and returns to standing stationary.
The officers to smile from ear to ear which shakes the twelve year old to his very core.
The boy demands,"What sane man laughs about having death face him right in front of his eyes.
The officers starts to laugh.
The officer speaks," You are a very rare breed that much I can tell you. I have been waiting for someone like you for many a years! Where have you been after all these years of searching?"
The boy does not what to say and just remains quieter than a church mouse. He thought it was wise not to press the matter and leave well enough alone.
The lad was standing mutely while his heart beats repeatably with the fear of what is going to what is going to happen to him. But, that was not the strangest reaction to being abducted by the Urano military faction.
People are often afraid of the unknown and do not like things that are foreign to themselves. People often crave the same events to happen consistently over time as they often loved the status quo.
The officer speaks," Well son, are you hungry? I can take you to get some food. I am sure that have not eaten in several hours."
The boy thought," I am not your son! You know that they had been left back home! You are the boss to some kidnappers and murderers! Do not try to suck up to me now! It would not do you any good!"
The boy was angry as anyone would be but he paid attention to the teachings from his minster parents. They had tell that there was a time and season for everything. He knew that it was time for himto remain silent because it would not do any good for him to argue with the officer. He would state his stance on the matter, but he would not argue it anymore.
The boy's belly begins to rumble so loud that it could be heard throughout the entire office.
The officer breaks out into laughter by the sound of the hungry stomach.
The boy's face begins to turn bright red out of angry of being made of.
The officer stopped his laughter and looks upon the bright red ears of the boy.
The officer speaks," I was not poking fun of you since I was laughing because of your complete lack of attention to your rumbling stomach. You were totally no-selling it so hard."
