It's cold at Moscow

Red Dots

There was an intense silence on the room.

People, quietly, looked at the screen. With their heads, they followed a red dot that moved from the left of the screen, to the right, without stopping.

And this silence also hold in the rest of the world. 

They looked at that little red dot, in the middle of the screen, and they also looked at the ones that followed it.

Looking at your doom.

Anči arrived late to the control room. Right when the guards opened the door, her eyes went straight onto the screen.

-Fuck, fuck, fuck and FUCK! WHERE IS RUTH!?!

-I'm right here, you know... -Ruth said.

The alarm activated.

-We gotta get working the counter-attack! -an sergeant said.

-Get the keys! NOW! -Anči said.

The team had been put together in the room, and they were now watching the screen, too.

-This is bad. -BlackStone said.

-Fuck, it is. - Cris answered.

Ruth had been hypnotised by the red dots.

A flash of light came into her mind.

-Anne...?

His body was there, burned, floating on the boiling water. 

-Anne, why...?

The boiling water carried Anne's corpse into a waterfall that led to a waste- lake.

Ruth lifted her hand, as if she could reach him, but deep inside, she knew it was useless.

A tear went by her right cheek, and fell on the river of boiling water.

Anne's body for launched by the waterfall, and going into a free fall, and then kicking the snow, away from the water. 

It couldn't be.

It just couldn't.

But it was.

And it was.

-Hey, babe, how you doin'? Let me touch yo butt... - said Johannes.

-FUCK OFF, IDIOT! -Ruth pushed Johannes, who fell back.

-You, what do you think you're doin'?

-DON'T FUCKIN' TOUCH ME, UNDERSTAND?! DON'T!

Johannes put a serious face, and got in front of Ruth.

-Babe, don't talk to me like that, 'cause do you know who the hell am I? Do you!?

Johannes punched Ruth in the stomach, causing her to scream.

-AHHH...!! THE FUC- Johannes was now blocking Ruth's mouth, not letting her say a word.

-En-o-ugh. Now don't try to get away, Ruth. No, do not try. You will never escape from me. Never, ever.

Ruth looked at Johannes, first angry and mad. Johannes looked back, witha straight face. Now Ruth was looking at Johannes, but sad. Then she started crying, and hugged Johannes, while burying her face into Johannes' arms.

-I... I am sorry, Johannes... (sniff), I... love you...

Then Johannes, hugged her back, and smiled, though it wasn't a normal, common smile. It was an evil, and perverted smile. He put a hand inside Ruth's shirt, and just when he was about to get to a serious place, something happened.

A knife.

On Johannes' chest.

And blood.

-You fool, thinking it was gonna be so easy, right?! SEE YOU IN HELL!- Ruth said, pushing Johannes into the river, and watching him scream, begging for help, mercy.

Johannes' corpse, instead of being launched by the waterfall, making it fall just on Anne's corpse, landed on the water again, and then sinking, to never be seen again in our story.

-Bye. -Ruth said at last., and then walked away.

Another flashing light came back, taking her into the real world, the real, physical hell.

-WE ARE GONNA HAVE A DIRECT IMPACT! PREPARING ANTI-NUCLEAR SYSTEM.

-DETONATION IN 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...!

Time froze. 

Ruth looked around the Control Room. She looked at her friends. Was it the last time she was ever gonna see them?

And then, her eyes went back to the red dots. Again.

-0...!

There was another bright light, and then silence.

The same silence that had ruled the room just minutes ago, but now a relaxed one.

An empty one.
