30 - The Safehouse in China and the Lovers

Safehouse 3. China. Beijing.

"There should be a backdoor."

"I guess not."

The China guy stopped talking and looked at the lady. All he could smell in her were fear and laziness. Both factors had made silhouettes in her guts and had pored them. She could hardly snap out of the shackles. She was hitherto bound. Twas very easy to tell.

All she had been to him was just a burden. He wasn't going to keep tolerating her all his life. Not at this kind of period they all had been caught up in.

Of course he loved her but there should be more to love than declaration and kisses and smooches and all. She should be responsible for somethings too.

He felt like saying a lot of things to her. He felt really irritated that she wasn't even beautiful and yet she wouldn't even want to take a risk. Twas quite displeasing.

He looked at the crowdy cum rowdy place, he saw a lady at a very end. He noticed how the beautiful lady was fighting her way through the crowd to get a chance in the government's safe house.

He wanted to call the attention of his woman to that but that might tamper with her ego and she might go all moody.

He wasn't ready for such drama of hers. He needed to survive too. Many people were being taken into the safehouse.

None of them had been required to bring somethings until that moment when the government wanted the masses to present their national ID before they would be let in.

Not only was the lady lazy though, she didn't even have a National ID card. She was kinda like a pest to him at that moment and if he dared to tell her, she might create a scene that he didn't want.

Though there were enough scenes going on there. There were two guys fighting over a National ID card. He didn't know why they would possibly be fighting. They could never have the same name.

He looked away from them to a man and a woman. They were quite aged. Just for his wife to enter, the man pulled off the trouser of the obstinate man who was at his front and wouldn't let his wife in.

The man at the front was trying to drag his trouser up because he had no pants on before he would face the crazy lover and punch him real hard.

But before he could pull his trouser,as he bent, the lover man pushed him away and pulled his wife in.

Several other people didn't care what had happened. The man had fallen and many had trampled on him.

In a bid to save his life, he rolled off that spot and missed those lover for life.

He would have to rejoin the queue . The queue was as long as the river Nile. He might die under the rage of the indifferent sun.

The first guy with his lady thought of what to do finally.

He began to avoid the lady, trying to miss himself up with crowd.

He wanted to get in the safehouse by force. The safe house was built like a very very large aeroplane. Its body was covered with super thick wood and some furnished shrubs since the alien machines only destroy building made from aluminum and metal and steel.

None knew what the inside looked like. No one who had entered had been let to come out.

What was the point of coming out since twould be safe enough for them.

The guy kept trying his luck till there was a great flood of crowd running towards the safehouse from the East. They were obviously being chased by the alien machines.

He missed up with the flood and lost her. He could see her shouting his name and trying to look for him but he didn't care.

He was free of his burden and shackles. He started struggling to make it into the queue.

Another shackle.
