Shatter me again. Chapter 9

I am silent, and she doesn't seek to break the silence. Thinking about something. About herself, perhaps, about her past. I'm sitting in the corner, my fists pressed to my face. She's so stubborn. But I know, I feel that she will give in soon. We'll have to talk again when the food is brought or the door is opened to visit the shower. I'll relent then and she'll have to…

My thoughts are interrupted when 5 soldiers with rifles burst into the room. 

No. Damn it. Too early, too soon. Fucking Warner. I'm on my feet. Bitter. I could start fighting right now. I could. The commotion and I lose sight of Juliette. When I look at her again, she's on her knees. They shouldn't treat her like that. It's only going to get worse.

I see her looking at me and I scream for them to leave her alone. One of them freezes, looking at me uncomprehendingly. Apparently they know who I am. And this rebellion is not understandable to them. A gun is pointed at my face. The performance is already over for her, in a couple of hours, or even earlier, she herself will find out the whole truth. It's not scripted because I'm improvising.

I am ordered to be silent, and I am silent, not wanting them to do more harm to her. They push me and I fall. I'm not weaker than the one who pushes, I could take him down, but I want to be closer to her. She doesn't look anymore. Seven people is too much for this small room, and we are both lost.

She's lying on the floor, exhausted, and they kick her in the ribs. It's unbearable to watch, but there are too many of them and we won't have a chance to get out of here if we start fighting right now. 

They demand her to get up. I get up on my own, without their demands, but they push me again. They just like to do it, to feel their power over others. Her clothes are pulled up, my my T-shirt is short-sleeved. I know that. I feel the brush of her skin. Brief, almost fleeting. She probably didn't even notice it. They kick her again, in the stomach. Of course, she couldn't feel my touch right now. But I'm fine. I'm alive. She didn't kill me.

I hear, as if from afar, how they make sport of her, mock her. They are waiting for her tears, but she is so strong. She's so strong. 

Juliet falls. And they take her away. 

They left me. I get to my feet, step out of the cell, trying to dust myself off. I do this on purpose, showing that I have finished playing my role.

"What the hell was that?" I hear in my address and look up. Confident, with a slight smirk.

"I was doing my job."

"Your work has been done."

"Who said? The Chief Commander required that I not reveal myself. Or do you think I should have disobeyed his orders and acted arbitrarily? I'm not as knucklehead as you."

I can see how he pales noticeably at the mention of Warner. It always has that effect on people. 

"Bastard."

"You will answer for your words. And your actions too." I threaten. "I am a member of the Chief Commander's personal guard. And you're just a convoy. Who do you think understands better how to follow orders?"

I'm sick of my own words. I feel like I could literally throw up right now from everything that happened. But it is necessary. Demonstrate my status so that he realizes his mistake. And he does. His face has become even paler, he swallows convulsively.

"And by the way, I had orders not to harm her. I hope you read your order carefully, because if you missed this point…"

He closes his eyes and breathes heavily.

"Let's go." He says seriously. It seems they screwed up. However, I don't know everything, I don't know what's in the head of the person I serve. Today he may demand to keep her safe and sound, and tomorrow he will order her to be quartered in the square in front of the entire sector.

He walks down the corridor, and I take the time to return to the cell, briefly, for a few moments.

I go outside and take a deep breath. Our air has long been far from clean, but damn it, it's not comparable to the stale air of the cell. But I don't have time to enjoy my freedom. I get into the armored car to personally inform Warner about everything that has happened.

I take a shower and change into a clean uniform. He hates untidiness. It's hard to disagree with this. If all the soldiers stop keeping perfect cleanliness and taking care of their hygiene, this place will turn into a garbage dump in a couple of days. 

Although I am in his personal guard, I need to report to his personal officer about my arrival first. I have to wait. I'm tired, I'm worried about Juliette, but I have no choice.

When I am finally called, I go into a small office. I know he has two offices. The second one is his personal, in his private chambers. I heard that it's large and spacious. This one he uses to negotiate when needed. Although, as for me, even this office is quite large, and after two weeks in the cell everything seems almost gigantic at all.

The owner of this office evokes very strange, contradictory emotions in me. I've never been obsequious with anyone. I don't grovel to someone just because they have the power. On the contrary, it only causes rejection in me. But I can't deny that I feel awe in his presence. It's very difficult to explain. This is not fear, and not worship, and certainly not respect. It's just that there's something so special about him that makes you… feel awe. He is always unattainable and incomprehensible. It's like he's not from this world. He has grace, and confidence, and coldness, and imperiousness, and danger, and majesty, and so much more. He is a monument, a marble statue, a work of armoury art. This causes both admiration and hatred at the same time. 'Too much' and 'not enough', here are four words with which I could characterize him. He seems to know that. That is fine with him.

He stands with his arms crossed behind his back. His head tilts a little, his eyelashes flutter slightly when he speaks.

"What happened there?"

"Sir, I was following your orders exact…"

"I'm talking about today."

I immediately understand what is required of me. "The convoy lost control. I couldn't interfere without violating your direct instructions, sir."

His gloved right hand drops to the table. He taps his fingers on the tabletop.

"You can go."

"Sir…" I hesitate. "With all due respect…"

For a few moments we just look at each other.

"They will be punished. Go."

He immediately understood me. I am grateful that he informed me about their fate. He rarely reports to someone, like this. I'm in a special position, that's the only reason I can hear a little more than others. But he doesn't ask me anything else, and I understand that he saw everything that had happened there. Maybe even heard it. I don't know how to react to this news.

Warner turns around and sits down at his desk, talking to me at the same time.

"Prepare my meeting with her as soon as she is ready."

"She's weak, sir. Unconscious now."

"That's why I told you when she will be ready."

Everything inside me is boiling, and I'm doing something that I should never do. Two sharp steps to his desk. I know what it's fraught with. Right now, he might react violently, and I'll be left lying on this floor, bleeding. But at the moment I don’t think about anything, although I should. Warner looks at me sharply, tossing his head, but lets me act.

"Sir. She doesn't require a tough approach."

"You definitely went beyond your instructions there."

He abruptly changes the subject, and I'm afraid she might be punished because of me. Perhaps all the debriefs will be later, with her. Regarding her.

"You know that I was acquainted with her."

"That's why you were sent there."

"She didn't make contact. I was trying to get more information for you. I tried to find an approach to her and…"

"Were you acting in my interests or yours?"

He stares at me, waiting.

"I don't and can't have any personal interests here, sir. I used to know her and had seen before what could make her open up."

He narrows his eyes. Silent for a few moments, burning me with his slightly frightening gaze. 

"And what is it?"

"She is…"

"No." he suddenly says sharply. "I don't need this kind of information. I've already got everything I needed. There's no need to waste my time. You've been here too long already."

I nod abruptly. "Sir." And I turn around to leave.

It's hard for me to say what his words mean. What he really wanted to achieve. But I don't like all this.

Two days have passed. They said she would come to her senses soon. They are so sure that I am almost convinced that she was given some kind of sedatives. And I hate myself for the pain I'll have to cause her. But I have a plan. Maybe we could escape.

I'm with one of his other personal soldiers, Weston. It makes sense. The elite are chosen for such work. I hate this word. And I hate when it's referred to me.

We enter what is supposed be a medical ward and I see her lying on the floor. I had the opportunity to get myself back to normal, I was only there for two weeks, I'm strong, I'm a soldier. But she… Rage swarms inside me, I hate them all for what they do. All I can do is order her to move, aim at her.

I see her disbelief, fear, disappointment. I am a soldier right now, I have no right to be anyone else. She wants it all to be untrue, and I want so much to tell her that it is. But I can't, not right now. But I'll do it, a little later. I will definitely do it. And we are moving along the corridor, towards something that is impossible to avoid now.

COVID-19 Got This Biker To Take Solo Ride For His Leh-Ladakh Adventure

Having a Leh-Ladakh adventure on a bike means collecting a bagful of powerful memories that stay on for years. But having such a biking experience during COVID-19 conditions means having stories to amaze even grandchildren.

Bikers will be bikers. You either love them or you hate them. They don’t care.

Girish P. Venkatraman is a passionate and freedom-loving biker and a bike collector from Mangaluru. One day, he decided he had to do something positive with regards to the COVID-19 vaccination. He rode all the way from Kanyakumari to Khardung La, which is a mountain pass in the Leh district of the Union territory of Ladakh in India. Each time, he rode a different bike for his Leh-Ladakh adventure. At Freedo Rentals, we are driven by the concept of choice and freedom.

Venkatraman resonates with us as he chose different bikes for his Leh-Ladakh adventure. He did whatever he chose to do, with complete freedom of movement. This is just what we offer to our customers. If you want a smooth scooter or a powerful bike just right for a comfortable Leh-Ladakh adventure, check out our rental fleet.

You can book your safe and affordable ride with us for one day or even for a smooth stretch of 90 days. We have sophisticated urban two-wheelers and serious bikes like the Xtreme 200 S (with a commanding presence) and Royal Enfield 160 R (the modern street fighter motorcycle).
