Free Sun Stealer. Walking In Circles by A. Mani Page B

honor to meet you and have you in my humble office”, Dark beast greeted Leonard with a big smile.
                  “Thank you for having us!” Leonard replied.
                  “I heard you were a brave soldier in the army. That was how you were injured?” he wondered.
                  “Mr. Beast, I am an old man so I’ll just cut to the chase!” Leonard surprised Dark beast and Diamond with his response.
                  “It’s about Almas!” he said.
                  “Almas? He knows Almas?” Diamond raised her voice.
                  “Do you know Almas?” Dark beast wondered.
                  “There is something you need to know about Almas…” Leonard continued.
                  “She pole dance!” Diamond interrupted him, “Like a goddess!  I mean first you think this is belly dance and then it’s on a pole so…” she kept going with admiration, trying to imitate my moves.
                  “Miss Diamond, would you mind waiting out side?” Leonard asked her politely.
                  “Sure. And Mr. Beast just so you know, I would have supported you had my identity wasn’t stolen!” she closed the door after her.
                  “Quite a character…” Dark beast said with a smile.
                  “Yes… Dark beast, I was Almas’s partner for the last thirty years. I know about your immortality and about your past, she confided in me and you can trust me with that. I was lucky enough to have her in my life and she filled my days and nights with an endless joy. But I always knew I could never fill her heart and I figured it was because of her son and I was fine with it. That was until we saw your face on a local newspaper. I saw how she looked at your face and that was when it hit me; I would have given everything to have her look at me the way she looks at you. Now, I don’t like you Dark beast, I think you are an arrogant bastard and that you are full of yourself but that is not my place to judge anybody. I am an old man, beast. Not old as you but I did my share in life. So as an old man let me tell you this, if this is not worth fighting for, I don’t know what is”.
     
     
     
     
     
                  “How much time do you need”, I asked Leo.
                  “About another half hour…” he answered.
                  We were at the main offices of the system. It was the weekend so nobody was around except for a few security guards. Leo provided us with network guard’s uniforms that included helmets and glasses and that was how we had entered the building. We managed to enter the control room with the help of the identification cards, Adam and his gang stole from the club’s guests, who were too busy watching my show.
     
                  “Freeze! Don’t move!” somebody shouted.
                  “Who are you?” the security guard approached us with his weapon. He was a young guy who seemed to be new at his job.
                  “Who are you?” I asked with indifference.
                  “What? I am the guard! What do you mean who am I?” he screamed.
                  “That’s Ben”, Leo answered.
                  “Liam? Man, what are you doing here?” the guard asked him.
                  “We are breaking the cycle”, I answered him.
                  “What?” he wondered.
                  “You know, destroying the system!” I answered.
                  “What? Hands up!” he shouted.
                  “Or what?” I teased him.
                  “Or I will shoot!” he answered.
                  “And then what?” I kept asking.
                  “Mom!” Leo asked me to stop.
