”HE'S NOT AN ENEMY!!!”

True to himself, the relief that Lazar felt when he saw that Francis was alive and kicking wasn't what he showed. Instead, it was the anger he felt because Francis had taken his time to manifest himself although he must have realized it was him when Katelyn screamed his other name and rushed at him.

”Shithead! It's now that you decide to reveal yourself?!” Lazar shouted, showing in the process to everyone that he and the frail student who just got noticed knew each other.

Francis, who wasn't expecting this reaction, panicked, ”Uh... I'm sorry, it's just... you know, the arrows and stuff... It...” He began to say without being able to make a normal sentence.

Lazar sighed, ”Damn, you haven't changed in three years...” He stated in a calmer tone, since if Francis was the same as before then he wouldn't be good for anything if he was pressuring him, ”I have some things to take care of here, could you go see if she's okay?” He added, pointing at Amandla.

”Wait...” Francis said to Lazar as he walked towards him with an expression indicating that he could no longer hide his excitement, ”First tell me what the fuck was that jump? And since you're evoking her, who...”

He stopped talking by himself when he was about to mention Amandla because he saw that Lazar was giving him a stare which was clearly meaning; what did I just said moron?

”I'm going.” Francis ended up saying as he walked towards Amandla, who had recovered a bit from her energy exhaustion.

Lazar then hurried to take advantage of the confusion of the crowd to calm the everyone, ”Let me introduce myself, Logan Walker, I am a soldier in the Special Forces of the US Navy.”He declared with a powerful voice so that everyone can hear him while exhibiting his identification plates around his neck to support his statements.

Lazar saw that the people who were ready to fight the moment before were beginning to wonder if they should put away their weapons and that the morons who were making a human pyramid were beginning to stop building it, so he gave other arguments since this time his audience was receptive.

”Here's what we're going to do.” Lazar said, making the file that Buren had given him appear.

”I've been sent here by the army for this...” He added with a ruthless grin while waving the folder above his head, ”...and I'm willing to share it's content with everyone.”
