CHAPTER 104

— MARIA SAID IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE to stop the count, let alone contain the shot.

John said to himself, but he knew the priest was watching.

— What's your idea, Denner?

— Do what Maria said to do.

As he said this, John realized that the priest had lost consciousness, perhaps he was already dead.

Soon I will also cease to exist.

John felt angry with himself, he knew that woman was a wretched witch, he wanted to manipulate him.

Think, John...

JOHN PUSHED A FEW BUTTONS that linked him straight to Washington, the image of Nolan next to the President immediately appeared.

— Sir — he said in a pleading tone, — forgive me, I killed Hitler and some Nazi officers, but that was it... I failed, unfortunately you will only have less than two minutes.—

— I know you did your best, John — said the President.

John began to cry profusely.

— John, is there anything you want to tell us? — Nolan said realizing that his friend was hiding something.

— Maria Orsic said I would have to choose between saving America or unleashing the greatest demon that ever walked the earth.

— Have you made your choice, John? — the president asked.

— How could I trust a Nazi?

— John, if you have the power to save America, save it, the time is now, if we have to face this demon, we are the only force on the planet that has the power to do so, trust us as we trust you.

John looked and saw the stopwatch.

One minute...

John typed in the passcode Maria had given and hit Enter.

— Whatever God wants, Mr President.

— Do you know where that beam is going to hit, John?

— Yes sir.

— Where, John? Nolan asked in desperation.

— Right here, Nolan … goodbye… it's been an honor to serve among the best.

Suddenly, the image disappeared.
