70 Impostors 8 (1/2)

As if it wasn't enough, when he focused on the crowd, it became very clear to him that those people weren't going to be cooperative.

'So this is how they want to play it.' He told himself with a frown when he saw the reactions that the appearance of Amandla's 'prison' had caused, 'You've got to be kidding me...'

Despite what was surrounding them, some people hadn't given up on escaping yet and had even begun to form a human pyramid at the edge of the wall of light behind the crowd to pass over it.

Lazar understood that panic could lead to poor judgment and that from his point of view he was certainly more lucid than them... but still, it was distressing to see that nobody seemed to realize that there was a fucking problem with this strategy.

Making a human pyramid would have been a good idea if the wall they were trying to pass over was a 3 or even of 4 meters high wall, but not if it was a goddamn 6 meters high wall!

If the purpose of this maneuver was to escape from Lazar because they thought he wanted to kill them; it wasn't making any sense to risk a fall that could also kill them at worst and at best immobilize them long enough for him to have the time to kill them later when the 'prison' will no longer be hear.

'Well, after all, they don't know what I can do and maybe they have forgotten how fragile the human body is...' Lazar concluded to try to understand their actions before sighing.

Something a little less stupid but even more hopeless; those who weren't helping to make the human pyramid and weren't frozen by fear had chosen to fight.

Lazar was thinking it was ridiculous but brave at first, then he saw that the eyes of the people who were pointing their weapons at him were more focused on Amandla than him, 'And now they are acting like bitches because they think that's their only hope...' He thought, deploring the lack of common sense they were showing.

He immediately understood that their goal wasn't to get rid of him but to take advantage of the fact that Amandla was exhausted to take her hostage and negotiate with him in order to save their lives, 'Smart, but it won't work.' Now that he knew, there was no way that people who didn't even know how to hold their weapon could get behind him and reach Amandla.

However, Lazar couldn't help but think that even though there were only a few dozen of people facing him and that it was obvious for him that he was going to win if there was a fight, if he went so far as to kill them, it would greatly complicate his task and...

”STOP!!!”
