Lisa felt a shock in her body. She felt a coldness in her soul. She felt a loss in her life.
She looked down and saw Adam's lifeless body. She saw his eyes closed, his mouth open, his blood everywhere. She saw his red T-shirt stained with his red blood.
She screamed. She screamed louder than anyone else. She screamed louder than the sirens, the explosions, the gunfire. She screamed louder than the pain, the fear, the anger.
She screamed for Adam. She screamed for herself. She screamed for their love.
She heard someone calling her name. She looked up and saw another face. A familiar face.
It was Tom, her comrade from the Socialist Party (CWI). He was also wearing a red T-shirt.
He looked at her with concern in his eyes. He spoke to her with urgency in his voice.
"Lisa...Lisa...we have to go...now..."
He grabbed her hand and tried to pull her away from Adam's body.
She resisted and pushed him back.
"No...no...I can't leave him...I can't leave him alone..."
He shook his head and pointed at the sky.
"Lisa...look...they're coming..."
She looked up and saw helicopters flying over them. They had blue markings on them. They had guns on them.
They were Blue forces. They were enemies.
They opened fire on the crowd of protesters below them.
They killed more Reds.
