The Defenders Of The Universe: The DarkKnight

Cap. 4 Project Cristal.

  Should I believe them? God...part of me begs me to do it... do I have a choice... I still have so many questions.....

  I tried not to think about it, so I picked up my phone. Once I opened it, I think I saw 100 messages and calls from Matti.
  I decided to call her.

---“H...„

---“Where have you been, are you ok, why didn't you answer??!!!??!!„

---“I'm fine,,I said quickly,“ the discussion lasted longer than we expected after they have came back...calm down...„I said trying to calm her down.

---“Please, don't do that again...please...you're all I have left... ,,I could hear her voice slowly drop.

  She always thought I was, especially since I managed to convince my parents to adopt her, after her mother died in a car accident during a chase. She was a police officer.

When evryone told her that the road is dangerous, she didn't listen , but apparently her stubbornness brought her the end. Haaa...the stubbornness that Matti inherited...

  I remember how it happened.It was an ordinary school day when I first saw Matti, crying in the hallway. We didn't know each other well then, but something pushed me to get closer to her. I managed to calm her down and she told me everything, she didn't have anyone, I said I would do everything to help her.

  When I told my parents, they immediately decided they wanted to adopt Matti. Since then, she has become part of our family, and I know she would do anything for me.

  She is my sister, and I know she is afraid of losing me, but I will never leave her, I will always be close to her... in good and bad...

---“I know...I will never leave you.. you know this...you are my sister I will always be close to you...I love you Matti...„

---“Ooo...I love you too Emiiii...„I could hear how her voice came back, “now...you... never do that again,  understood! „

---“Yes, general!„ I joked.

---“Good, now cadet, have you found out anything else? „

---“Yes, we have to take a crystal, but we're talking at home...it's safer that way.„

  I was in my room, our parents were sleeping, it was perfect.

---“So...how are we going  to do it without mom realizing that he's gone? ,,Matti asked curiously.

---“Do you remember the souvenir I got from the museum?„

---“Yes, but that one is pink, and we don't have those mechanisms that surround it, you know...the ones you mentioned...„

---“Nothing that some paint and some handwork can't fix,, I said smiling

  It seems that the art lessons will help with something.

---“Plus I already have a plan.„

---“Okay miss I have a plan, why are you sitting and not saying anything, say it until the morning catches us...„said Matti sarcastically.

---“I heard dad say that the lab near the army offices is ready, which means mom packed up today and will load them tomorrow.We offer to help her, then we go in her office and I'll replace it with the one we made. Simple, right?„

---“Of course, if we dont't take into account the fact that we are risk being punished for life, but yes, simple,, I roled my eyes but I knew she was right.

---“We have a real project to do lazy, you can save time later ,now we have work!,, I "shouted" joking

---“Hey! it's my job to joke and be the boss!„
