Anna had to admit that seeing her sister's hair from that angle was an usual sight, she was sitting, her face in her lap as if she had a heavy burden riding on her back. The tank driver could not see her face and thus looked at the wild mass of golden corn that was in front of her. She shot a glance around and saw only the usual sight of the tube interior, by that hour of the night; what time was it exactly? A fat woman was reading some kind of paper , sitting on the bank behind her; a couple of rows forth into the coach. A man, his face tired, stood in front of the automatic door and fixed the void of the tunnel, runningfast and steady. She did not have a watch, so she let her curiosity fall and concentrated her attention on the seemingly crushed android in front of her. Uni did not speak or move and seemed to look on the floor, her glare transfixed and empty. Anna supposed it at least, as said before, she could not see Uni's face; she tightened her grab on the steel bar she was holding to and leaned forth a little to her. -Uni? She groaned but did not move. -Listen sis, I cannot see you like that, I told you before it was an accident. She spoke of the phone call that had triggered the events of that evening; hidden under her hair, Uni's eyes closed as to chase away some thoughts... -Do... Do you mean it's not my fault?- She whispered with hoarse voice. Anna hesitated for a second- Well, not entirely... I mean... Uni groaned louder and raised her glance to her. Anna was nearly scared from her sad look. -You see? You say it was a stupid error, but even you tell me that it was my fault, like everyone.- She closed her mouth and gulped down, Anna was at loss and did not answer- You, Madaradabara, Totate, Ozaki, the Vice Chief, everyone! -Uni, it was an error, I understand it, we did shit like that before, what's so different now? She looked at her, standing, holding the bar over her head and looking at her full of sorrow. -I know it, very well myself.- She shook her head and looked at her shoes- But I cannot help to think that if I did answer that phone call in some other manner, dunno, friendlier, more kind, kissing his butt. Well maybe... Her words died in her throat; Anna's little plastic heart was nearly broken to that sight, she left the bar and crouched in front of her sister, putting her arms on her legs, she raised her right hand and caressed her cheek, gently. She knew Uni would have accepted it, she was the only person she was granted permission to do that when she was in that state; Uni knew that her sister was the only person that could understand how she felt and thus what was right to do. She felt the warmth of Anna's palm brush against her cheek and closed a second her eyes, losing herself. -He would do it anyway.- Anna said suddenly. Uni's eyes opened in a nanosecond and her cold gaze scanned her sister eyes. Anna bit her lower lip ; she tried to hold the grasp on her. -He's a jerk, a totally mind blasted jerk, he's out for the kill and wants it more than everything.- She shook her head and smiled sadly- There is nothing you can do for it, when he when he wants to trigger a bomb again he'll do it, you should know that. Uni's look was a sea of desesperation in which her soul drowned slowly; she withdrew face from her sister's hand and looked at her in horror. -Are you telling me I can't do nothing?- Her voice was low and distant. Anna scratched her head and looked at her again- I'm only telling you that it will be a hard fight, against him, against the district, against the world if necessary. Mind about it sis, we are not human, nonetheless you're the only chance humans have to save the life of many beings like them.- She paused- He chose you, that means that for everyone you'll be the only responsible... -You think the same too, right? -I do not!- Anna countered sternly- And so does the rest of the squad. Uni looked at her hit by the new- What? -Well, Asada has not stopped feeling guilty for a second about sending you with those reports, Shinozaki and Habana said it's something that happens and that maybe they would have made the same mistake.- She smiled- Ozaki did not say anything, but I believe she does not blame you. -Like shit!- Uni countered. -I believe so sis, she's a better person than you could think of.- Anna rose and grasped the bar again- In all the squad is with you, but you're alone, now what? Uni shook her head and shot a glance out from the window in the darkness of the night, broken from the million of lights of the city- Don't know, they left me alone for tonight, but tomorrow I will be put on trial by the big cheeses... -Come on!- Anna protested- on trial... -You know it will be that.- She countered calmly- They want a guilty, they do not have him, so they have me.-She looked at her- Perfect, no? Anna sighed, she did not find any hole in her reasoning, so she shook her head not knowing better... They did not speak for a second, then Anna broke the silence.- What are you going to do? She shrugged her shoulder defeated.- Play along, what else, or whatever they will make me do.- Her eyes were wet, but she resisted stubbornly that urge- Further I don't know, maybe, however that story ends, they are going to send me again... -NO!- Anna nearly cried, she clamped her mouth and looked around, gathering more and more curios glare; she looked back at her sister- You're not going back there again, I promise it! Let them try, I'll burn the entire police departement down to its foundation! -You will?- Uni smiled, her eyes teary, locked inside the one of her sister. -You bet!- She shook her shoulders- We wanted to do it any way, someday, so... Uni chuckled, without any hint of joy, then resumed her silence. After a brief period the tube stopped and opened its door with a low hiss; people entered, people exited. Uni felt the machine move again and said to no one in particular- Next stop is ours. Anna nodded and thought deeply for a second, then decided to speak. -Uni? -Hmm- Uni did not look at her. -Why have you done it? She sighed and took a second to answer, then spoke- I did it because I did not want you to think I'm a wimp, I did it because I did not want that Sandro thinks of me that I'm not taking my job seriously...- She looked at her as a single lonely tear trickled down from her left eye, replaced by a hard but tired glare.- I did it because too many people died to let me leave that bastard alone! Anna felt her mouth dry and nodded, as Uni let her gaze fall back on the floor. she narrowed her eyes and snarled in her mind -------------------------------------------------------------------- -Ouch!- She cried taking back her burned finger from the steaming pot and putting it quickly in her mouth. A chuckle could be heard from the room at her right side, she looked over the short, dividing wall and saw he was cutting the bread on the table in the middle of the living room. -Do you think it's funny?- She asked sternly, her voice muffled by her finger-Because if you think so I'll swap places on spot. Alessandro turned around laughing and shook his head rising both his arms while holding the bread knife in the right one- I surrender, I'm sorry.- He chuckled and came into the kitchen, he could move easily because they had brought the table to the other room so they could have a little more room to eat; he always did it when he had dinner guests, like the one he had with his mother five years before. he took her hand gently and looked at her finger, then smiled and brought her to the sink. After letting the water flow for a second he put the finger under the little fall; Michaela winced, but relaxed after a bit and sighed. -You've got to be more careful, you remember me my aunt.- He shook his head. She narrowed her eyes- She can cook Borsh? -No, I mean for your carelessness, my aunt is careless to the point we forbid her playing withplastic balls, we feared she could slit her throat with it. Michaela giggled and hit him gently on his right shoulder- Moron. He turned the faucet and got a handkerchief, then gently damped her hand and winded it with the tissue. -It's nothing to bother about, not even a first degree. -What could you know of it...- Michaela noted. -Oh, more than you think, I'm nearly a doctor, you'll have to be the same if you want to build androids.- He retrieved the bread knife from the sink side and went back to the table to complete his task- That's why I gave you all those depliants of Todai medical university applications. Michaela darkened- Like if a klutz like me could enter the Todai...- She mumbled. He turned around and looked at her- You're not a klutz Michaela, you're one of the most gifted students I ever saw, it's only you do not believe enough in your possibilities.- He smiled and pointed at her with the knife- You know, I'm happy you did not decide like your father wanted you too, it would have been a loss for our order. She flushed slightly, she was always embarrassed as he spoke like that... Well, she felt very flattered too... Not bad at all. -You... You think it really ? He just smiled as she blushed a little more; she nodded and went back to the stove, after leaving the handkerchief on the low wall at her side. -It will be ready in a second, do you think they will be late? Alessandro glanced at the wall clock behind her guest and shook his head-I don't think so.- He smiled- Get ready for the slaughter. Michaela blinked, puzzled. -------------------------------------------------------------------- The lift door closed behind them and they looked at their reflection in the mirror in front of them, they both looked terribly tired. Uni was thinking that she did not really felt like performing tonight, she hoped Alessandro was not in for it, she definitely needed a little rest. If not, well she'd have done it, like when she had to, years before, in the red light zone of Newport City. Suddenly, as if the thought had just faced into her mind... -Anna?- she asked looking down. -Uhmmm?- her sister turned towards her- What's on? -Could you please not tell Sandro... You know...- she shuffled her feet Anna's eyes widened suddenly, then she regained her normal expression- Are you sure? Uni nodded and raised her glance looking at her- Yes, I am... Anna cocked her head to the side and looked at her sister grim expression- May I ask why? -It's difficult to explain, let's say I think it's better he does not know, for now at least.- She answered. Anna scratched her head and adjusted their blue sack straps on her right shoulder; she felt more relaxed. -Okay sis, but believe me, it's a mistake.- She nodded- He'll be pissed off when you'll tell him everything. -I can handle him, I do not want to seem like a little girl that goes crying by her daddy each time she screws up.- Uni's voice was sharp, but Anna heard the distinctive fear note on its bottom... -Okay. The lift door opened as the machinery arrived at their floor, they entered the dark corridor, not bothering to switch the lights on. Thanks to their fluoroscopic vision they could see in the night like if it was bright day.1 Like cats... As they arrived to the door, the ears of both twitched; they looked each other puzzled. -We have guests?- Anna asked suspicious, hearing someone's other voice from the other side of the door. -Seems so.- Uni nodded, then she sniffed the air and smiled- We have a good dinner too, it seem. Anna sniffed the air too and smiled licking her lips as her ruby eyes went wide and shone in the darkness of the corridor. She raised her right finger and went for the door bell, as a hand stopped her, resting on her left shoulder. Anna turned and saw her sister hesitated a long moment. -No?- She asked. There was no answer for a long period, then,, in the end Uni nodded- It's okay, I just needed a second, go on. Anna nodded and pushed the door bell. Sound of steps entered their ears as they closed the other side of the door. The lock unlocked with a metallic sound. The door opened and light cut trough the darkness. Uni sighed, raised her gaze and smiled... -------------------------------------------------------------------- Alessandro laughed loudly and took the napkin from his lap kneading it and putting it on the table. Anna looked at the mess on her skirt and looked desesperately at him, emberassed and irritated-You find it funny, don't you?- She stated coarsely. He shook his head chuckling and rose from his seat, walking at his left, behind Michaela's seat to the angry cat who happened to sit in front of him. -Not the least, let me help.- he grinned looking at the tick cabbage and meat cream on Anna's lap; he kneeled and took her napkin dampening the spot. -My skirt!- Anna whined. -Come on, it will be all right. Michaela tried not to laugh and rose too- Wait, I'll get the salt, it always helps. Uni blinked seeing her rise- Salt? -Yes.- She smiled- For the spot. Alessandro nodded- It will not suffice, maybe it will be better to change your skirt, but we can start with the salt. Anna pouted- I'm sorry Michaela.- She looked at the girl who was busy searching in the rack on the stove in the kitchen. -Hmm?- Michaela's head pocked out from said rack- Don't mention it, it's your skirt after all. -I mean I'm sorry to waste your cooking. Alessandro stopped dampening the spot and raised his hand to take the salt box that Michaela was offering him. He applied some of the content on the skirt. Anna smiled as she felt his hands stroking gently her thighs trough the fabric. She raised her hand and caressed the back of his neck, so gently Alessandro got goosebumps. He looked at her and she winked at him; he shot a quick glance to his pupil and saw that she was quickly masking a malicious smile as she looked away. Alessandro thought. -Well, err... What about taking that skirt off and changing- He fumbled standing up. Anna smiled- Here? He blushed, knowing she'd have done it without any problem, if asked- I was thinking something like the bathroom or your room.- He gulped Michaela suppressed a giggle and went back to her place. Both sister giggled too and that emberassed Alessandro, as he felt as if they all conspired to make him appear like the fool of the town. Anna rose and went for her room, she closed the door behind her and disappeared. Uni looked at him and felt like he was so distant she could not touch him. He turned towards her and smiled warmly- Seems she got me again, uh?- He asked. Uni smiled too- You're too good to be real or too naive, depends on the point of view. -I love the way you put things- He grumbled hit. She laughed and tried to caress him with her right hand. He went back to his place dodging her gesture- Nope, I'm not in the mood- He stated playing as he was really offended. Normally Uni would have played along, but right then she would have liked more if he had touched her instead of refusing the contact. But she was a too good actor to show her disappointment, so she smiled and stuck her tongue out at him as if she did not mind. How false... The door of her room opened and Anna came out with a pair of black jeans folded on her left arm; Alessandro half turned and looked at her- Something wrong Anna? -Hmm?- She looked puzzled at him for a second, then walked smiling- No, not at all, I'm only going to change in the bathroom, so that I can wash my skirt a little right now. -Uh? All right then. He turned to the table again and resumed eating the last remnants of his Borsch. A very good one indeed. Michaela smiled at Uni as she saw her wolfing her dish down.- You seem to like it. Uni raised her glance at her and blushed a little; Alessandro moaned lightly but audibly. -Errr, sorry, maybe I ate too quickly? Michaela laughed- No, I wasn't saying that at all, just stating. -Uh, yes, I think it's real good- Uni pointed at her dish, already empty. -Thanks a lot, I'm happy you liked it.- She smiled nodding Anna's voice came from the bathroom- Sandro! Please come here! He raised his eyes to the sky and stood up putting the napkin on the table again. -Sorry.- He muttered to his table companions, as he walked to the bathroom.- Know what? Are you full?- he turned to the table. Michaela nodded and Uni just grinned. -Okay then, why don't you get yourself something to drink and go on the balcony? Uni blinked- Balcony? Which balcony? Michaela looked surprised at her- Didn't you see the balcony? Uni shook her head, she did not see where in hell there could've been a balcony in that flat. Michaela rose and offered her right hand to her to help her stand. - I'll show you! -Yes, right Michaela, do it, I'll clean the table as long as I'm finished with her sister.- He walked to the bathroom door. As he arrived to it he noticed it was locked, he gently knocked on it twice- Anna? A hand darted out from the door, as it opened and closed at once, in the space of a short heartbeat, and dragged him in. -------------------------------------------------------------------- -Scary, uh?- Michaela stated smiling at her, while Uni was clenching her fists and looking straight in front of her self. -Call that a balcony?- She was nearly disgusted. Michaela had shown her that by the right side of the big, oval shaped window, that was in the living room, you could find, totally hidden, a little door, that could be opened only if you pressed on it. It opened, revealing a little, narrow balcony, surrounded by a meter and half tall wall. Narrow was the right word, it was not even two meters wide, the only remarkable feature of this senseless part of the house was an armchair, resting to the right side of it. Uni swallowed and looked nervously around, she shot a glance at Michaela and saw her leaning against the low wall and looking at the city with dreamy expression. She cocked her head to the side and tried to look at her face but could not interpret her expression. -Er... why don't we go back in? -Hmm?- Michaela turned and looked at her - Say what? -I mean, why don't we go back in a more sure place- Uni glanced around like someone who just found out that he was in the middle of a mine field. Michaela laughed; Uni looked at her puzzled- What's so funny?- She asked a bit caught by surprise. -I'd never thought you could suffer of dizziness. Is it a feature you've got inbuilt?- Michaela turned towards her and slowly leaned to the low wall, giving to Uni a good sight of her breasts, covered only by a tin layer of cloth, while her white blouse gathered for the cold wind thatblew on the terrasse. Uni raised her eyebrow, perplex < Could it be?> -Uhuu?- Michaela smiled at her and waved her hands in front of her face. Uni snapped back to reality- Uh? Ah, no, I'm not, I mean I do not suffer from vertigo...- She lookedat her < Where are you going girlie?> she thought. -------------------------------------------------------------------- -HMMMMPHHH!- Alessandro tried to catch his breath as Anna's giggle intruded in his mouth while she frenched him brutally... She parted and looked at him with glimmering eyes- Hi honey, I'm home.- She kissed him again. He kissed back, then took his lips back- Believe it or not I already noticed it.- He stated looking at her as she rested on him , both laying on the floor of the bathroom.- Now , not that I do not enjoy it, but could you please let me stand up? Anna narrowed her eyes- Don't you like to share the floor with me? -Sure, I do, but not right now and not necessary on the bathroom...- He explained. Anna smiled again and let her left hand wander on his side until she arrived at his waist and let it intrude between their bodies, searching for him- Bet you'll give it no more attention in zero seconds? He gulped as he felt the tip of her deft fingers touch him where he was more sensitive -Anna... -Shhh... Don't spoil it, just let me...- She purred seductively putting her right hand on his cheek and letting it caress his rough skin, his beard already growing again. He shook his head and smiled at her, then quickly kissed her- No, sorry, not now. He started to rise, Anna held him down and narrowed her eyes again, a bit unsure about what was going on. -Hey, don't you like me tonight? He let both his arms embrace her and kissed her on the forehead- Dont't get me wrong Anna, it's only that we have a guest and she comes first... -Wanna bet, who'll cum first? -Anna grinned as she touched him there again, amused by her coarse joke. Alessandro closed his eyes and shook his head, slapping his brow with the palm of his left hand- Signore onnipotente...- He called God's name slowly- You're impossible. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Uni narrowed her eyes and looked at Michaela, she just smiled back at her and cocked her head to the side. -Something wrong? Uni decided she had enough of it; suddenly she smiled slyly and went for her with a sudden movement. After a quick forward step she froze in front of her; she was startled by that sudden change and yelped, nearly falling from the balcony, Uni grabbed her right arm and prevented it. Michaela looked a bit frightened into her purple eyes and waited, holding her breath. Uni raised her hand a touched her hair- You're a natural blonde? Beautiful.- She stated to none in particular, then she leaned with both elbows to the wall and left her gaze drift to the city view as a wind breath moved her mass of hair, like corn in the sun- You're right, great view... Michaela moved a little by her left side as Uni leaned against the wall and continued to look into the darkness. She started to breath again and looked confused, but before she could act again Uni cut in- Wanna drink something? -Uh?- She was startled. -I want a glass wine, wanna have some too?- She smiled at her and Michaela was absolutely sure that if Uni had at tail,she would have see it move like the tiger before the hunt that she saw in a documentary in television long time ago. -Err... sure, why not...- She answered nearly stuttering. Uni nodded and disappeared into the house, coming back after a second with two glasses full of ruby red wine; she gave one to her and leaned against the wall again resuming her gaze in the darkness. Seconds of silence passed as the only sounds to be heard were the one from the city and the sound of both drinking. -Uhmm, so...- Michaela tried suddenly to break the silence. -Hmmm?- Uni turned and looked at her with one of her sexy- to- melt- stones glares. Michaela nearly chocked- Ah, I mean you're policemen, both... You and your sister... You, I mean.- She fumbled. Uni smiled and nodded, letting her right hand wander trough her hairs, she held the glass in the left- Yes, that's right, but I'm getting used to it hardly myself. -Why ?- Michaela leaned to the wall never leaving her eyes. -Well it's kind of different from my previous jobs...- Uni grinned as she sipped some more wine. -You did something really different before? -Yes, opposite, we could say... -What? -I was a prostitute.- Uni answered nonchalantly and drank more wine. Michaela nearly spat out the wine she had just drunk and looked at Uni with widened eyes. -Pa...Pa... rdon?- She stuttered. -Well, at the beginning, then I changed and became a robber. Michaela desired suddenly to disappear from that place as quick as possible. -Now I'm here, a cop...- She giggled and drank her last drops of wine putting the glass on the wall- Life is strange sometime... Michaela was so shocked that she could hardly get grip on herself, she managed it somehow and took a deep breath- I... -Yes?- Uni looked at her smiling. -I... I mean... I would tell you thank you.- She drank her wine in one single sip and put the glass on the wall wincing. -Thank you? -Yes, for saving me. -That's my...- She smiled again, as if a thought had occurred to her suddenly- ...Job, I guess. -Well, I wanted to say that I appreciated that you were that kind with me, so caring. Uni narrowed her eyes- I do not get you, what are you talking about? -Well, Alessandro told me that you were very concerned about me...- Uni gritted her teeth and hardened her glare, Michaela went on- I found it very sweet from you. -Listen, Michaela... -You can call me Mika, if you like- Michaela smiled at her. Uni stopped a second, then started again- Mika? -My friends always call me like that. -So, I must assume Alessandro is not a friend of yours?- Uni stated drily. Michaela was a little startled , but she went on- No, no, he's a very good friend of mine, I only did not think he would've liked to call me like that. -Uni looked at her, not at all convinced- Anyway I was only trying to put you at ease, but if you do not like... -Michaela... -Mika- She interrupted her smiling. -Mika.-Uni rectified flatly- I guess it's better we enter, it's getting cold; anyway, there's no need to thank me for doing my job, but I appreciate you did it, in words...- She pointed behind her back with her thumb-... And deeds. -You don't like me, right?- Michaela stated bluntly. -It's not that... Uni raised and took both empty glasses in her hands. Suddenly Michaela put both her hands on hers and looked into her eyes- Uni...- She started. -HANDS DOWN YOU!- Uni shouted. Michaela stepped back frightened, Uni snarled at her. -Just what the fuck do you think you're doing?!- She glared furiously at her- Do you think that because I was a whore you can have me that easily?!! Michaela shook her head, her mouth moved but no sound came out. Uni turned and entered the door. The wind blew stronger. < She's right > Michaela thought < It's cold out here>. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Alessandro spun around puzzled as he heard Uni's voice run through the room like a thunder. He was by the table collecting the dishes and blinked twice as he saw Uni entering the room from the balcony with two glasses in her hands and a glare that could have crumbled mountains. -What happened...- He did not get to finish his sentence that he saw Michaela as she entered the room too, pale as a ghost. -Michaela.- He looked at her- Are you allright? -Absolutely...- She smiled at him absently and then rubbed her hands together; she looked at the door and then spoke again- My, it's really late, I guess I'm going. -Wait, I bring you home...- Alessandro offered himself, trying to understand this situation. She shook her hands and went for the little closet at the right side of the door, retrieving her books and coat- it's not necessary, I'll catch the last tube; you've got to clean the room, if you came with me you'll end your chores tomorrow morning.- She put quickly her coat on and got the doorknob- Thank you for the evening- She turned around and looked at him, he saw tears in her eyes- And for the help and... I don't know, for everything...- She giggled sadly, then sniffed and opened the door. -Wait, Michaela!- Alessandro went for the door, but she was quicker and opened it, exiting the room. -See you!- She closed the door behind her. Alessandro stood puzzled in the middle of the room for a second, then he decided to do the first thing he felt like doing. Yell very, very loudly. -Uni!- He turned around and saw her drinking a glass water at the sink- Mind to explain me what the hell happened here?!! -Guess so, if you'll stop yelling.- She answered flatly, putting the glass back on the sink border and turning around with an annoyed expression. -Well? -You'd not believe me. -Try me!- He answered crossing his arms. -You'd not believe me, I'm sure.- She shook her head smiling sadly. -I'm still waiting. She sighed -She tried to get me under her covers.- Uni widened her arms shaking her head. Silence. -See? You do not believe it.- Uni stated -You mean she proposed you to have sex with her?- Alessandro asked calmly never letting his gaze fall. Uni was taken a bit by surprise that he did not yell on her and esitated a second, but in the end she nodded at him. Silence. -You were right, I do not believe you.- He smiled coldly. Uni had had just a glimmer of hope, but it faded after his answer; She raised her shoulder and smiled sadly- See? Now if you will excuse me, I'll go to bed, do you want me to join you later? -What?- He was startled. -Do you want to fuck?- Uni was over with the polite mode, she had reverted to her aggressive behaviour. He shook his head - What do you think I'm, a sex fiend? I do not want you in my bed if you don't want to do it. -Very well, in that case , have a good night.- She turned around the low divisory wall of the kitchen and went for the doorknob without looking at him. He looked at her and then spoke slowly- Is there something wrong? Uni touched the doorknob and froze, gazing at the floor. A little noise from the bathroom announced Anna's entrance into the room. The android looked puzzled at both, but did not speak . Alessandro remained immobile, then spoke again- Uni, want to talk about it? Uni smiled sadly and looked at him with eyes full of pain. -Not really.- She turned the doorknob and opened the door- Sleep well. She disappeared into her room. Alessandro sighed and looked at Anna. -What happened?- She asked him. -I don't know, but I believe it's better if you go in and pet her a little, I think she needs it badly. Anna looked at the door of her bed room and then at the table. She made a gesture to it and Alessandro shook his head- No, it's allright, I'll fix it, go by her, pleasant dreams. -You too!- She smiled at him , but it was only a fake, He noticed it as her face returned to the concerned expression she had a second before. She quickly moved to the door and disappeared behind it silently. The door closed quietly, he shook his head and went to the table. The dishes tinkered as he moved them to the sink. -------------------------------------------------------------------- He looked at the screen top left and saw the nocturnal vision of a garage, He cocked his head to the side and studied the black car he saw into the room, parked and immobile, near a pillar. He did not like it, too big. Not that it mattered, he would have never ever drive a car again, but he still did not like it. He shook his head and looked at the screen at the top right, he looked at the car who was shown on the horizon, near a building. He looked at a secondary screen and a set of red coloured data appeared, flowing on it like water. They stopped and he smiled. He reverted to the top right screen and saw that the camera was zooming on the car. It was a little monovolume car, like the old Uno from Fiat, bright red was it's colour. He looked at the smooth shapes of her back and front, it nearly seemed a Volkswagen, thus had it round forms. -I love Korean's cars- he stated for himself- They are so little, so anonymous. -He thought of what stuffed each centimeter of the car- So practically deadly... He chuckled and saw the image slide by the side, centering itself on the big name who was written with bronze, capital letters on the front of the building in front of which the car was parked. The building itself was surrounded by a low wall mounted with a fence of metal bars and had alittle garden in the front of it. He saw some metallic structures into the garden and centered his view on them. He saw a slide, a swing and some other child's play. He looked to the swing and smiled- I liked it a lot, it was what I preferred. He thought a second, then smiled- Hope someone will enjoy it enough in the next days. He kept smiling as he looked again at the words written on the front wall. It read " Sakura Yootien". "Cherry Kindergarten". The screen zoomed away. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Technical notes: 1 They have still problems trough smoke or mist though...
