Chapter 6

"Do you know how many people are still alive?"

"Yes, we do know how many people are still alive."

"That's impossible! How can you know how many people are still alive?"

"If we tell you how we know how many people are still alive, you will have to let us go."

There were two problems with this proposition. The first one being that I really wanted to kill them right after I had asked them all the questions I had to ask. And the second being, that I hadn't asked all the questions I had had to ask. . . yet.

"It depends on what you tell me.", I replied

"It is very important information which might help you. For the future and the present.", said Matthew.

"You cannot possibly be thinking about telling him about the. . ."

"Yes," said Matthew,"I am thinking about telling him about our secret weapon, Cherox. It may be the only way for us. . . 

"What secret weapon?" I interfered and said.

"If that is the price of our freedom, we will never pay it," said Cherox in a low monotoned voice which kind of frightened me.

"Shut your mouth, Cherox," I said. "Continue telling me about this secret weapon of yours,".

"So when you. . .

"Does the secret weapon have something to do with how you found my base?"

"Yes, it does. You see. . .

"Shut your mouth, you two-faced lying son of a bitch! Shut your . . ."

The gunshot echoed in the eerily silent forest for a few minutes.

 Then after a few seconds, Matthew screamed," What have you done to her you freaking little insect!" 

I heard him sobbing. Very loudly. Then despite this, I spoke in an extremely soft voice,"You'll tell me what that secret weapon is or I swear on the grave of my mother that you will be next."

"Screw you." He screamed." Screw you."

"Fine," I said as I loaded my tactical shotgun and pointed it at his. "Screw you."

"Wait," screamed James. I could hear the fear in his voice. " I will tell you what the secret weapon is."
