Hate Thy Neighbor (A Palestinian's fight against the world)

10 Down the memory lane

"Brad, do you think it is a joke?" dad asked, when I told him what needs to be done. The problem with being in a elite Zionist f*cked up group is, one has to abide by the hierarchy. It doesn't matter some are as f*cked up morons as Hayah rightly called them, but everyone has to kiss everyone's boots at some point. Damn, this woman is rubbing in to me badly.

"We have our information compromised. She knows what she is doing. After all, I don't think this is an unreasonable request. Prison isn't a place for children and I have told you that many times before"

"What the hell did you just say?" dad asked me really pissed.

"We have a political agenda. I get it. And there are political prisoners which is fine with me. But let the children go. According to this list, there are children as young as 8 who are in prison. Dad, we are getting the land which is primarily is the concern and like it or not successfully doing an ethnic cleansing. We can be a little considerate when doing it. No need to take lives unnecessarily nor cause permanent damages unwantedly" I told him. That is true, though I have been merciless and ruthless, I always insisted on not causing unnecessary pain for any parties.

"Are you f*cking working for me or for that slut?" he literally barked at me.

"That's the problem with you. You just don't get the fact that there is a better way of doing things. If you don't let me handle this with minimum damage, then please take over. She has all the info that could take you to an early grave. If the Zionist don't kill you, the politicians will. All the names and evidence are with her. Now, she calls the tune and we dance until I find a way to control the damage. One final time, can you lead the discussion and free the children or shall I pack my stuff and come back to New York?"

"I need to talk to some people and when I do, I will tell you what to do"

"Alright. Until then, I remain here"

I haven't taken a proper break from work in over years, I don't mind the time off. So while the ship is sinking, I decided to relax. I use to love reading. In fact I have a massive library at home with over 1000 books. I can read and speak 5 languages - English, French, Arabic, Spanish and Russian. That is a lesser known fact about me. I love reading philosophical books. I am not a religious guy but there was a time I enjoyed spirituality. I wish I could come in terms with myself again, so I can enjoy the peace I felt in following a spiritual path. I love music. Especially the very old songs and instrumental ones. I play the piano and guitar but haven't touched them in years. Well, in 5 years precisely.

"Rick, did we get any info on Hayah and her friends?" I asked my security team.

"Sir, she is a tech genius. We tried talking phone records and internet history but she seems to have none for the last couple of months. But there is a guy called Rumi Sultan who is working with her, and his wife. They are the only people whom Hayah seems to be close with. Also there is another guy, Fayaz. A doctor. Few people we happened to talk believe he has some interest in the girl. Apart from that, no family. No friend. No close alias. None"

"She has to have some loop hole?"

"We are working on it sir"

Hayah is a very beautiful girl. Her stunning features and elegance was the reason she ended up getting hurt. Even if I tried, I couldn't have helped her. If I had tried, she would have ended up at a worse fate. I don't think she will believe me, even if I am to tell her the truth. Even I seem difficult to believe it myself. But to say I forgotten the only thing in my life I wish I hadn't done or I could have done differently is deceiving myself.

Soon after Hayah's fathers funeral, Hanson came to speak to me. A reason I cant  escape them nor can leave this world to which I am belong was complicated. If I leave the family, I will be cut off of money. And that I don't mind, but I have seen the destruction it has bought on others who date disobey the Zionist system in to which we were born in to. If it doesn't drive them crazy, the certainly it drove them to suicide. None of them lasted more than couple of years. And if they do, well they die with mysterious circumstances.
