| The Spy Chapter 3 - Part VI The ar in the inn was heavy. Another guest was moving away – another one leaving to the war. Pericles, together with Alex, said: “I... each new letter that arrives here, I think it is mine.” “What do you mean?” Alex asked, pretending he did not understand what was obvious. “I know they will call me. All of us will be called. Well, you won’t, ‘cause you’re not from here, but those who are from here will… And… see, Thiago is just a boy and was called!” “It doesn’t mean you’ll also be...” “No, it doesn’t. But... eu can’t help this thought. Did you ever think about being in a war, Alex?” Alex thought about answering the truth and say that he thouth about that all the time… but before he could answer anything, Pericles said: “I’m scary to death. I’m sure this must be terrible. And that no one deserves live such situation...” “But in a war, we fight for a cause. Our country, our ideals, our beliefs.” “Does Thiago know which are the beliefes aind ideals he will defend with his own life? I think I have no idea...” “If you don’t know why are you fighting, it’s because this war is lost.” Alex said, in a phrase that scared himself after he said it. Did he knew why he was fighting? Why as he in that country, spying those people? Or was he just pretending to be sure? Before his daydreams were discovery by Pericles, this one said: “But you are happy, your country is not in war… I’ll say goodbye to Thiago.” With this phrase, Pericles leaved. Alex just looked him going. It does not matter if he had any doubt: he had more answers than those boys. (18072013 – Published in 20072013) | ||||||
