"Did I keep you waiting? Never mind, we are waiting around 70 years to get back to our homes, so one hour is nothing." I told him with a sweet smile before taking my seat opposite him.
"I need you to take down the bug you placed in our system. In return, we can negotiate what you want"
"Oh, so we don't chit chat? Fine. You cant take down the bug I placed in less than a week. And if you want it removed, then we have work to do. Starting with, releasing the prisoners. I have this list here, where the names of children under 15 who have been arrested and kept in Israel prison. All of them were tortured and unjustly kept in the prison. I want all of them released. When you do that, I will take the bug down"
He looked at me with such intensity, I really wondered if looks could kill.
"Don't f*cking play with me. You have no idea with whom you are messing with let alone what is yet to come. I am not the f*cking prime minister of Israel" he said.
"I know you are not the prime minister of Israel, thank God. Because the prime minister of Israel only does boot licking. Now, we know when you throw money, he will lick your boot. I am pretty sure he has licked it many times in the past as well"
"Do you really think these games will help you to win a battle you have already lost? Even if I manage to get these children off the prison, the moment you are killed which I can guarantee is going to happen very soon, they will be taken back to prison" he told me with a sly smile.
"Oh Brad, you think I am such a fool? You think I manage to mess with the most powerful morons of the world without having a back up plan? You may or may not kill me, but my plan will live with or without me. So you see, I am here to fight and win. Now, when can I expect these children to return home?"
"Are these numbers and list accurate? I can't promise all the children to be released but I will get all children from Gaza home safely" he said after studying my list.
"Yes, the list is accurate and the numbers are too. There are 700 Palestinian children in the Israeli Jail" I told him.
"Who gave you this list?"
"It doesn't matter. I want the children out of prison. Some badly need medical attention. Some would have died by now"
Sadly, Palestinian children have a strong mind but their bodies are not strong enough to withstand torture. I saw Brad reading the list.
"Ahad Tamimi? You think I can pull this out? Seriously, who do you think I am?"
"Honestly, I think you are a rapist and a moron. But I don't care. I want children out of prison. I will take the "Free Palestine" screen saver shining bold and bright from your servers"
"I can only try to get the children from prison close to Gaza. Give me the list of children from Gaza" he said. This isn't going as I planned. I was hoping Brad would go crazy when I give the list. He seems more willing to help than I ever could have imagined. Is it a trick?
"For less than half the information you now have, people have paid with their lives. What do you expect from this Hayah? You have picked fight with a group of people who literally run your life. I have a major interest in all the popular media outlets. Do you think these blackmail and games you play will not have any consequences? Or are you trying to avenge me?"
"I am not seeking justice for myself. You raped me while I begged you for mercy. But this isn't about me. It never will be. The price I will pay isn't important. What is important is, no one else has to pay the price I already paid with my life" I said with a straight face.
"I will pay you 1 million dollars, and promise your safety. Can you back off? My IT team will do a check up and delete all the files you have taken from us. We will forget this as it never happened. Like it or not, I don't have time for this"
