PART 11

A very general dedication this time: To everyone who reads this! Tänk u werie matsch (that’s the way you would pronounce Thank you very much with a HEAVY German accent)

She nodded and they eapt silent for a couple of minutes. Then she started to speak ”You were the one that wanted to talk, so start!” ”What do you want to hear from me?” he asked immediately knowing that it was the most stupid thing he could ask She looked at him with red eyes, showing him that she’d cried a lot, but now her eyes were dry and so was her voice ”Let’s start with a girl called ”ISA” does that name say anything to you?” He looked at his feet ”Of course I know her, she was my girlfriend once”. She let out a bitter laugh ”Nope my dear, she was your girlfriend twice and you lied to me!” He knew that she was right, but he couldn’t admit it, so he asked ”And WHEN did I lie to you?” She breathed sharply and deeply before she answered ”Oh you really don’t know it? I bet you know it!” He shruged and she went on ”Okay, I’m gonna help you. Remember yesterday? I think you do, your memories should at least last untill yesterday. Well you told me that you had NO contact with any of your old friends or let’s better say any people from school. Your first lie was about Olli, but that was okay, you can say you wanted it as a surprise, but your second lie is much more harder, it’s about Isa and I’m sure I don’t need to tell you what there had been between you, so why haven’t you told me?” while she’d been talking she got louder and louder and her voice soon almost sounded like thunder. Benny blushed and then he tried to explain, but he could only stutter, at the end he told her that he’d only waited for the best moment to tell her the whole truth. She laughed again bitterly and then said ”Oh, lemme guess, you want to blame everything on Olli, don’t ya? He told me everythig to early, blablabla... well I AM happy, that I have at least ONE REAL friend. But let’s stop, that will lead to nothing. As you’ve said ‘No emotions on our mission’, so when we’re done I still can kill you. Let’s concentrate on tonight, did you get everything?” Benny was sad, for the first time he could clearly feel what she had felt since he had pushed her away ”Yeah I got everything, we can start tonight, be ready at 9:30pm, that’ll be dark enough... hopefully. If you need me, I’m in the living room with Olli.” with his head hangin he started to leave, but she wasn’t able to see him that way, so she got up from the bed, turned him around and hugged him short but also soft and then she quickly went into the bathroom to have a shower. He stood on the same place for a few seconds and thought about the hug. It hadn’t made him feel better, to be exact he just felt more guilty, because he had been so cold when seh was in a similar position and she really had a reason for being angry. At least he went to Olli and sat down beside him. The sat there four nearly an hour in silence, before Olli asked him how she’d reacted. Benny looked at him ”First she was really angry and then suddenly she hugged me, because she seemed to know that she had hurt me.” Olli just shook his head”I don’t know who is more stupid. You for letting her go and hurting her with almost everythig that you say and do, or she, forgiving you everything. But I think it’s you, because she just loves you and that means to accept the other one completly and you just throw her away....” ”No, I don’t” Benny got mad, ”Yes you do” was Olli’s simple answer. ”So explain it to me” Benny was really angry now and a fire was burning his eyes, Ollim sighed ”Okay one more time for the slower people: If you need her you’re nice, but if you don’t need her you hurt her over and over and that’s like throwing her away.” ”But I only do it to protect her” answered Benny abashed. ”Of course, maybe you’re right, but maybe you do it more to protect YOURSELF” there he made a short break, but he sterted again before Benny was able to say anything. Olli clearly could read in Benny’s face, that he didn’t really understand what he means and do he started to explain again ”You’re afraid to love and afraid to lose her one more time. Afraid to love because of your father, you still think that he’ll might say that you’ve to move again, but he’s DEAD and you’re a free human-being, you can decide where you want to live and with whom. And I know that you want her. And you’re afraid to lose her because you once have lost her, because of your father and it hurt because you were together. And now we’re on a pretty dangerous mission and you’ve fear of losing her again, she can die, as all of us. But trust me, if you’re gonna behave like that than it’ll hurt way worse if she dies than if you spend a few happy days together. So take one day off or maybe even two, depends on how succsessful we’ll be tonight and how helpful Head can be and show her that you love her. I know she loves London and if we’ve the possibility we can stay here a few days more than we’ve planned and I’ll have Head for entertainment, I’m sure we’ll drink a lotta beer... sounds like fun” Benny looked at Olli and he didn’t really know what to think ”You really think that will work?” he asked doubtfully and Olli just nodded, he slowly lost his patience. ”And how will she react if I won’t do that?” Benny asked. Olli just sighed again, he felt helpless against Benny’s doubts, but after brething deeply a few times he answered ”I can not look into her head, into her mind, but I think she’ll flirt a lot, if we’ll make it to Alcatraz we’ll also free Limp Bizkit...” ”Oh SHIT!” Olli was interrupted by Benny. He smiled ”Yes, that expresses it very good, oh shit. If Mister Durst likes her than you’ll have no chance to get everything right again, and she will flirt as long untill he likes her because she’s going to lose her last hope then.” ”So I’ve to do something?” Benny asked, Olli rolled his eyes ”HOW OFTEN SHALL I TELL YOU? OF COURSE YOU’VE TO DO SOMETHING!” and with that he ended their convo.
Exactly at 9:30 Olli, Benny and Nicole met in the living room, all dressed in black. Benny gave all of the a bag containing a pocket light, two ropes, something to drink and a few small tools. He also gave them a map of the tower and showed them the entrance to a secret passage that starts near Tower bridge and ends near the dungeons where Head was supposed to be. They went by tube to Tower Hill and there they got of and sat down in a small pub where they could observe the street and the hidden entrance pretty well. Shortly after 11pm the street was empty. They paid, went outside and quickly hide between some bushes. After waiting for a few minutes again the ran to th entrance. Everywhere on the door was grass and other plants and when Benny tried to open it, it didn’t work. Olli tried to help him but the door didn’t open att all. She also offered her help, but Benny refused it, Olli rolled his eyes again and made her a sign that she simply should help without asking any questions. She moved lissomly between Olli and Benny and they all tried to open the door together and suddenly it opend like someone had opened it from inside. A smile rushed trough her face and Benny turned to her ”I’m sorry” and touched her shoulder for a very short moment before he said ”C’mon we’ve to go on.” He face burned, she didn’t remember the last time she was so happy about such a brief touch, but she suddenly felt a rush of adrenaline and energy inside her body and she also felt, that they’d reach their aim, their whole aim, she just knew it in that moment.
