STANDARD DA RP WARNING:

Age warning, this might contain adult situations, racial violence, racial remarks, adult language, nudity, sex, violence, drug use, tobacco use, and alcohol use. Well hell, it’s a DA RP, so we’re certain it’s going to contain most if not all of them!

Special DA RP warning: This RP CERTAINLY DOES CONTAIN CONTENT NOT SUITABLE FOR YOUNGER READERS (Mostly sexual content) you have all been warned.

REPEAT: THIS IS NOT SUITABLE FOR MINORS! IF YOU READ THIS I CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT, YOU’VE BEEN WARNED!

(Anyway, it's not very specific and detailed, I think we pulled this one here off with tact and managed to get the ideas of what is going out without stating them in so many words, we achieved this at the cost of detail.

But I reiterate, don't read unless you really want to read and can handle it all)



Shortly after the siege on Stalingrad was lifted during the Mississippian Civil
war (Still going on, but I’ve not had time to update it yet… Soon though)

The phone in Yuna's office rang. She was sitting there, bored to death, Alec was away, she had nothing else to do. Might as well answer it.

*Yuna picked up* "Alec's office- Yuna here."

(Stahlecker) "Hello, Yuna, this is Paul Stahlecker, how are you?"

(Yuna) "Very well, actually. And you?"

(Stahlecker) "I am fine, except for the civil war going on, which is damaging my stock value in the commercial farms."

(Yuna) "Yeah---civil wars tend to do that. Anyway- so, what's new?"

(Stahlecker) "Not much, how would you like to come to Mississippi for a while and meet with Roger Fabus?"

(Yuna) "And--why exactly would I do that?"

(Stahlecker) "He wants to meet with you."

(Yuna) "Ah- Dare I ask what for?"

(Stahlecker) "He just said he'd like to discuss some private matters with you, he wouldn't tell me what."

(Yuna) "Tell him I'll be there- I've got nothing better to do anyway."

(Stahlecker) "Okay, don't worry though, he is happily married, and he isn't like his father. Roger sincerely has something important on his mind that he wants to talk about."

(Yuna) "God help him if he is. Anyway, I'll leave as soon as possible."

(Stahlecker) "Have a safe flight."

(Yuna) "Thank you." *hangs up* "I wonder what he wants to talk to me about- Alec runs the damn country, but, whatever."

Yuna then took a helicopter to the airport, and boarded her 777 for the flight to DA.

A few hours later, Yuna was getting off her plane at the Stalingrad estate in Neshoba County, Mississippi. A squad of SRG soldiers was waiting to escort her into the mansion. She looked around, ruined statues, artillery shell craters, blown up pieces of bodies, intact bodies, abandoned trenches. A large-scale battle had come right though here. She noticed that eight of the nine runways were cratered beyond use.

Yuna thought to herself- "Wow....that's one god-awful war going on here." Yuna then presented herself to the SRG squad.

(Nelson) "Greetings, Excellency, I am Captain Arthur Nelson, this squad is what is left of the Bravo Company of the SRG."

(Yuna) "A pleasure. I can tell that your company has taken many casualties. Tell me- how many soldiers have the government lost so far?"

(Nelson) "My company is Alpha Company, but they are inside the mansion itself, I am temporarily the leader of Bravo Company as well, their officers were all killed. Government losses are classified, sorry, not a matter open to discussion."

(Yuna) "I understand." *looks around* "One hell of a war, I suppose."

(Nelson) (Motions with his hand toward the mansion) "This way, ma'am."

(Yuna) "Thank you." Yuna then proceeded to follow Captain Nelson.

Nelson led her into the mansion and to the first floor office room of Czar Roger Fabus, he was sitting in his chair, Curtis Fabus was in a wheelchair nearby

Curtis looked at Yuna, awkwardly, "I should be leaving.":

(Yuna) "I hope not because of me. It's alright- don't be afraid."

(Curtis) "Okay then, I shall stay..."

(Curtis) "But don't expect to get me into bed, I'm married now, happily so."

(Yuna) *chuckles* "Rather unnecessary, Curtis."

(Curtis) "I suppose, but hey, arrogance always ran in the Fabus family."

Curtis coughed a little, and spat some blood into his hands.

(Yuna) "Ouch...To be honest, I don't know how you've managed to stay alive for so long, what with your lungs destroying themselves."

(Curtis) "Yeah, I just got new lungs, cloned pair, but it takes some getting used to, they're still a little bloody from the surgery."

(Yuna) "Cloned lungs? Fairly amazing."

She could see his left hand was shaking out of control, whenever he took his right hand off, even for just a second. "Yes, it is amazing, but they can't fix everything, you know?"

(Yuna) "Parkinson's is indeed hell." She then turned to talk to Roger. "So, Roger, how are you?"

Roger leaned back in his chair, "I'm fine, you?"

(Yuna) "I'm well. So- what's the occasion?"

Roger motioned for his father to leave, two SRG guards wheeled him out, once he was out, Roger started to speak.

(Roger) "Yuna, tell me, how did Alec handle what happened between you and my father?"

(Yuna) "While he would never show it- Alec was devastated. He felt awful for letting me do that. He even tried suicide- but I managed to talk him out of it. I think he took it worse than I did, I don't know, though."

Roger looked down at his feet, then paused, sighed, "You know how we managed to win this battle, the battle for the estate grounds?"

(Yuna) "How?"

(Roger) "The Northern Defense Corps of the Republican Guard, four powerful divisions, sided with us, rather than against us..."

(Yuna) "So- they enabled you to lift the siege?”

(Roger) "But what you don't know, is what won their commander over."

(Yuna) "So- how did you win their commander over?"

Roger sighed, "My wife, the Czarina, she slept with the commander of the Corps."

(Yuna) *gulps* "Sounds strikingly similar to what happened to me---and your father."

(Roger) "Exactly."

(Roger) "Except I never told her to do it, and I only found out after the fact."

(Yuna) "Alec never told me to do what I did."

(Roger) "Oh, I thought he urged you to do it?"

(Yuna) "No- not in the least. He abhorred the mere thought of it- but he realized it would probably happen. He had to face facts- the only way we'd even have a chance at getting off your enemy list is if I went to Mississippi- and I would most likely end up sleeping with Curtis."

(Roger) "Yes, well father had emotional issues at the time, and he was only coercing Alec into letting you sleep with him to get back at Alec for leaving the League."

(Yuna) "I figured that. Alec realized we had no choice anyway, as I did."

(Yuna) "Plus- as I recall, your father managed to enjoy it. I sure didn't- I don't know how he did."

(Roger) "Father enjoys sex, a lot."

(Yuna) "I can tell."

(Roger) "Besides, you helped him along, I saw the tape, he obviously got off when you dug your nails into his back, eh?"

(Yuna) "Yeah- I got personal satisfaction out of hurting him. Remember, my mind was not quite right at the time."

(Roger) "It probably made him feel pleasure more than pain... But anyway, let's move along to what we are to talk about, yes?"

(Yuna) "Yes- I can sense that you want to talk about what happened between myself and Curtis."

(Roger) "Well I'd like relations between our two nations to be better than they are."

(Yuna) "As would Alec."

(Roger) "What about you?"

(Yuna) "I'd prefer not to comment."

(Roger) "Go ahead, speak your mind."

(Yuna) "To be honest, I personally still hold a grudge with Curtis over what happened. I'm also doubtful of the whole regime as a whole. However, I really don't handle the foreign affairs business anymore, so I just stay out of it."

Roger sighed, "Well maybe we can change your opinion, eh?"

(Yuna) "I'm curious as to your definition of 'change'. I can imagine it's not good."

(Roger) "We can show you how our system works, and you'll hopefully understand it better and like it better."

(Yuna) "Heh- try me. I welcome it- I'm curious to see how you work- if it's anything different than the version you package for export."

(Roger) "What do you mean? You've seen our system elsewhere?"

(Yuna) "Perhaps I wasn't clear- I mean the version of DA you show the world- I'm curious to see if it, by some act of God, is actually the same as the one that actually exists."

(Roger) "We're basically the same, but more laid-back and at home, seeing as this is... Our home!" (He chuckles loudly at the last part)

(Yuna) “I can imagine.”

Roger smiled at her, "Alec must be a lucky man, eh? You seem like a very nice woman."

He leaned back, "I'm glad that I found myself a good woman, there is nobody I'd rather be with than Alice."

(Yuna) “Alec considers his greatest accomplishment in life falling in love with me, as I consider him the best thing to ever happen to me. I like to think we’re made for each other.”

(Yuna) “Seems to be the same for you and Alice, as well. Nice to see that.”

(Roger) "Well, it's quite late tonight, what say a servant show you to where you'll be staying, tomorrow we can begin the touring, eh?"

(Yuna) “I’d appreciate that.”

(Yuna) “Quite a nice place you have here.”

(Roger) "Thank you."

(Yuna) “So- you say you want to show me the true Mississippi?”

(Roger) "Yes.”

(Yuna) “Is it really any different from the one the world sees? I mean, really. It looks like Stalin’s USSR-or Hitler’s Germany. You’d be hard-pressed to change that view.”

(Roger) "It is different in that we are smart and educated people, not ignorant rednecks who just need to be taught all our equal. Our scientists have determined racial equality is a fallacy, a liberal pipedream by some liberal whites who are so afraid of their own superiority, they claim equality with savage nig--rs from the jungles of Africa, beasts that eat their own families if they get hungry enough."

(Yuna) “Our people are not ignorant. We just teach that people are people. Their value is based on their contribution to society- not to race, color, or creed. We believe that affirmative action is also a liberal pinheaded idea, and do not practice it. We give everyone the same rights. And the rest, Roger, is up to them.”

(Roger) "Letting people run wild is called anarchy. Call them what you want, human rights, civil rights, it's just another term for no control, anarchy, chaos."

(Yuna) “We don’t. We have law and order. I’m proud to say we have very low crime rates, thanks to our social policies.”

(Roger) "And we have next to no crime, we had only a few dozen murders last year, less than one hundred rapes, next to no burglaries or robberies. Mind you this is in Mississippi himself. In the African commonwealth nations, the nig--r population in Western Sahara, only 500,000 strong, commits many thousands of crimes, as do the Arabs."

(Yuna) “Remember- those who trade freedom for security deserve neither. With rights come responsibilities. Our citizens are generally wise enough to obey the laws. Some don’t, but they do pay the price.”

(Roger) "We don't trade anything for anything, we never had freedom, we just traded chaos for order."

(Yuna) “Isn’t it better to have order and freedom?”

(Roger) "No, freedom is slavery."

(Yuna) “Not in the least. Merely let people express themselves, however, you have to control them with laws. People are responsible. You can let them have some freedoms- but they still must be held to a moral code.”

(Roger) "There is no such thing as freedom, the wealthy always rule, the strongest, the most vocal in the media, the best liars, it's all a sham. Freedom is an idea invented by those who lack the will to be overt tyrants, they rule covertly, behind the facade of freedom. Democracy is a sedative for the masses."

(Yuna) “Alec and I prefer to think of it as inefficient. It’s a great thing, but terribly inefficient. Nothing gets done.”

(Roger) "Well I'm getting tired, so if you'd excuse me, I'll be turning in now, we can speak more in the morning."

(Yuna) *yawns* “Same here- I’ve been up since 4.”

Roger's face suddenly lit up, "Ah yes, I forgot to mention, I'm soon to have a son... Alice is pregnant, and in answer to your next question, yes the child is mine and not the Field Marshal's. I'm going to name him Alexander, if it's a boy."

(Yuna) “Ah- my congratulations. Alec and I just had a girl ourselves- we named her Elektra.”

Roger smiled, "Nice name, unique..."

(Yuna) “That was the idea. Alec and I personally think most of the names for children out there today are too common- we wanted to make our daughter distinctive.”

(Roger) "Ah, well perhaps one day you might send her to one of the various the Republican Guard Academies in the nation here."

(Yuna) *chuckles* “Amazing- you have a sense of humor.”

Roger looked puzzled, "Who's being funny?"

Yuna gasped. “Oh......you weren’t joking. Seriously, I doubt it’d be possible. I don’t want to do it- and neither does Alec. We’re going to send her to Franco Military Institute- perhaps you’d consider sending Alexander there.”

Roger shook his head, "Not until he's at least 16, by then his ideals of politics should be cemented, or nearly so. I don't want a liberal son, you realize this, yes?"

(Yuna) “I’m in agreement with you, I don’t want Elektra to be liberal either. We’re not libs- perhaps you didn’t realize that. We’re Conservatives, yes, but we’re reasonable.”

(Yuna) “You might even call us liberal Fascists- but that all depends on your definition.”

(Roger) "Well, you should consider sending her to one of our academies, just to see if she likes it, let her decide, eh?"

(Yuna) "I'll talk to Alec about it- I know he won't like it. However, that's years into the future."

Roger smiled, "Yeah, I guess so, well I can state for sure what my kid does, you know? Alice seems willing to go along with anything I suggest."

(Yuna) "So I noticed---amazing she's so compliant.

Roger smiled, "Yes, she is a good girl, and does what she's told... It's wonderful."

(Yuna) "Pardon me for asking, but wouldn't you like someone who has their own opinion?"

Roger sighed, "Well it's okay to have an independent opinion, but there is a time and a place for it. Matters of state are not the time, deciding what to wear or cook for the day, that is the time."

(Yuna) "Ah. Anyway. It's getting rather late- I should probably go to bed."

Roger stood up, walked out of the room, Alice was walking by the room, heading towards her own bedroom, she was tired and wanted to sleep that night, she didn't want Roger getting sexual with her. Roger however, he was eager to go at it, he motioned with his hand for her to follow him and in a sly voice said, "This way, dear." She followed him to his room.

Yuna was then guided to her bedroom. She entered, and immediately got in bed. She laid her pistol on the nightstand.

ooc- the pistol is a Walther PPK, with silencer.

She heard Alice and Roger talking in the next room. Roger was wanting to have sex, Alice was meekly complaining about being too tired, Roger sighed, kissed her on the forehead, said, "Okay then, maybe in the morning eh, you get your rest", and then he cuddled up next to her. She lay her head gently on his chest, he softly ran a hand through her hair until she fell asleep, he so loved to watch her sleeping, she was so beautiful and peaceful when resting, as when awake.

Yuna thought to herself- "Touching, to say the least." Yuna soon fell fast asleep, reminiscing about the revolution, and Alec.

She awoke at about 8 am the next morning, the first thing she noticed, her pistol was gone.

(Yuna) "What the hell? I swear I left it there- it didn't just get up and walk away." Yuna then started looking around for her pistol.

ooc- Yuna has a switchblade that she wears around her neck- it's designed to look like a piece of jewelry- but is indeed a switchblade.

Captain Arthur Nelson walked into her room, dangling her pistol in his hand, "Looking for this?"

(Yuna) "Yes, actually. How'd you get it?"

(Nelson) "No foreigner may have a deadly weapon on this estate, without permission that is. And you have none."

(Yuna) "And, before you ask, I carry it for protection. Alec insists upon it."

(Yuna) "Forgive me- I wasn't aware. You can send it back to my plane, if you like."

(Nelson) "Sorry, not here, you have a history of wanting to kill Curtis Fabus. How did I get it, I saw you put it on the stand, I waited for you to fall asleep, and took it, simple, eh?"

(Yuna) "Ah- Strange- I'd normally wake up. Anyway- sorry- I didn't know."

He smiled, before taking the piece of jewelry from around her neck, too quickly for her to react. He chuckled, "The things they'll disguise weapon as these days... You have to be on guard for anything when you're in the SRG, especially the ex-Premier's personal bodyguard... Where is the switch to activate the blade?"

(Yuna) "Switch? What switch?"

He fiddled around with it for a few seconds, then the blade popped up, mildly slicing his hand on the way, he laughed, "Damn, it got me."

(Yuna) "Clever man. Most people can't find it. Alec doesn't even know where it is."

(Nelson) "You'll get your toys back later."

(Yuna) "Very well. Now- what can I do for you?"

Nelson grinned, "I know all my weapons, Roger and Curtis are waiting for you to join them for breakfast. Whenever you're ready, the shower is through there, don't worry, there are no cameras in there."

Yuna smiled. "I've learned not to fear the camera. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go wash." Yuna then walked over to the shower.

Nelson watched her as she walked away, looking at her legs, he smiled at her, she could see him watching her from a mirror, and he realized this and quickly jumped to attention and excused himself to leave. Nelson was a very good looking, muscular, and tall man, over 6'8, she felt a little flattered to know she was able to turn so many heads and get so many looks, but there was only one man for her, Alec.

In the shower, Yuna was thinking to herself- "Something is seriously wrong- how would they know I had a pistol to begin with, let alone, how could they get in without me knowing about it?" Yuna then continued washing. A few minutes, later, she was finished, and returned to her room to dress.

While she was in the process of dressing, a Field Marshal walked into the unlocked room, expecting to find an empty room he could use to change in. He was startled to see the naked Yuna standing inside, well he was also delighted, and she was very attractive.

(Yuna) *covering herself up quickly* Uhh....yes?

The man stuck his hand out to shake, "Hello, I am Field Marshal Francisco Salazar, who might you be?" He gave her a sly look; she knew he'd be willing to go at it at the drop of a hat.

(Yuna) Yuna shook his hand. "I'm Kaiserine Yuna- from Sevaris. A pleasure to meet you." She was thinking to herself "Oh, hell- another man who can't keep his pants on.

(Salazar) "So, what are you doing here?" he grinned, "Are you here to visit Curtis again?"

(Yuna) "Heh.....no. I'm actually here per Roger's invitation- he wanted to talk to me about something. What exactly, I cannot say."

(Salazar) "I am here because I am the commander of the Northern Republican Guard Defense Corps, I am the reason the rebel siege around this estate was lifted."

(Yuna) "Ah- I should thank you then- from what Roger tells me, you needed some convincing to support him? Anyway, good job nevertheless."

Salazar smiled, "I was persuaded to back the government, I got what I wanted out of the deal."

(Salazar) "Well I was going to use this room, it's the room I usually use when I'm here... I'm sort of attached to it, I love this room."

(Yuna) "Oh- I'm terribly sorry- I'm just getting dressed, actually- Roger and Curtis wanted me to join them at breakfast."

His tone changed to overtly sly, "Perhaps we could share the room, eh?"

(Yuna) "Marshal Salazar- rather inappropriate, don't you think? I mean, I am a married woman after all."

(Salazar) "I'm a married man... But don't remind me of that, when she's not drunk and making a fool of me in public, she's at home throwing things at me and scaring the children... I'd consider it good luck if she were to suddenly kick off..."

(Yuna) "Divorce her, then."

He chuckled, "Divorce? Do you know how badly that is frowned upon? Unless she actually physically harms my children, I'll just try to weather the storm and hope she improves herself... But in the meantime, that doesn't mean I can't have fun elsewhere, eh? Besides, since she started her embargo against me about six years ago, I've had to look elsewhere, you know?"

Ooc- She hasn’t had sex with him in six years, she is holding out to be cruel. Salazar has slid into insanity over the last few years, mostly because of his failed marriage and his occasional drug use and heavy drinking (but he isn't nearly as bad as his wife is with the bottle)

(Yuna) "I suppose so. However, kindly leave me out of it."

(Salazar) "Ever since I saw the video of you with Curtis, I just, it's just, once, could we do it once, please?"

(Yuna) "No. The thing with Curtis was due to extenuating circumstances anyway. I'm not going to do it." Yuna then finished dressing, and started walking to the door. She then said to Salazar "Goodbye, Marshal."

Salazar grinned, "I'll see you around, maybe you'll change your mind, take care, enjoy breakfast."

Yuna then walked down to breakfast, and presented herself to Curtis and Roger. "Morning, all."

Curtis looked at her, "Shall I leave?"

Yuna then walked down to breakfast, and presented herself to Curtis and Roger. "Morning, all."

Curtis looked at her, "Shall I leave?"

"No, no, that's unnecessary. I don't mind." Yuna then sat down.

(Roger) "So, dad, Yuna, how did each of you sleep?"

(Curtis) "Shitty, my arm wouldn't stop shaking."

(Curtis) "Yuna, did you find the amenities here, to your liking?"

(Yuna) "Yes, very nice, I might add. World-class service. However, and don't take this the wrong way, I found your Field Marshal a bit pushy."

Roger was startled, "Now wait a second, Field Marshal Navarre is a wonderful man, what are you getting at?"

(Yuna) "Oh- my fault. I meant Field Marshal Salazar."

(Yuna) "Terribly sorry."

Roger's face turned red at the sound of his name, he muttered in a tone of hate, "Salazar", then he spoke loudly, "Don't remind me of him, I'll lose my appetite."

(Yuna) "Oh- right. Well, at least we're in agreement on one thing."

Roger looked at her, "What did he say to you that made you so upset? Did he make an indecent proposal?"

(Yuna) "Yeah- he basically wanted me to jump into bed with him. I flatly refused, and walked away. Rather unbecoming conduct for an officer."

Curtis set his glass of wine down, half-emptied now, "Salazar is a man with emotional issues, his marriage is basically dead, it's not a sinking ship, it's already sunk, he should have jumped overboard years ago, when that bitch of a wife of his started holding out on him. Every time I see him, for the last six years, "Oh Curtis, she won't put out, Oh Curtis what can I do? Oh Curtis!" Bah, I'm tired of his whining."

(Yuna) "Why don't you dismiss him? Alec dismisses at least three a week."

(Curtis) "I've never dismissed a field marshal without recalling him a few days later. I owe the success of the revolution in part to Salazar... He was a young captain at the time, and his unit of rebels managed to take control of the chemical bunkers on their base, and used them to shell major government positions."
(Roger) "Father, you never dismissed any because you caught the trouble makers before they got high up the chain of command."

Curtis smiled, "Guilty as charged."

(Yuna) "Pardon me for saying, but it seems that one's just appeared. My opinion, though."

Roger looked at her, and then stared for a few seconds while thinking of what to say, finally it hit him, in a serious tone, "Personally I hate the man's guts, but he is a great commander, we need him, at least until the civil war ends, with our victory, of course."

(Yuna) "Of course. We all have to make sacrifices in war."

(Yuna) "I hate to bring it up now, but, Roger, I don't recall you making it clear why you called me here? I'm just curious."

(Roger) "Well Yuna, I think relations between our two nations needed to be improved, and by us talking and such, we can work out plans to at the very least keep wars from occurring between our nations. Hopefully, perhaps we can have economic deals and such."

(Yuna) "I don't see why that wouldn't be possible. I'm open to negotiations."

Curtis struggled to speak, his strength varied since his massive surgery, "I hope you are open to forgiving me, for the great wrong I did against you, coercing you like that, it was possibly the worst thing I've ever done."

(Yuna) "Curtis...I'm touched." Yuna then started to tear up. "This nearly caused Alec to die- but he forgave you. I don't see why I should stop this. I forgive you."

Curtis started to cry, then cough, "Thank you", he managed to choke out through his coughing and tears, "I'm so glad."

(Yuna) "I'm too. I'm finally at peace."

Roger looked at Curtis, "I don't know when I'll be at peace, and I don't know why you had me watch the video tape..."

Curtis shot back, "We'll burn all the copies of the tape... Every last one."

"Thank you. That tape was the bane of my existence." Yuna then turned to Roger. "I guess you've still got a problem?"

Roger gave her an odd look, something that revealed he was embarrassed to be around her or Curtis both at the same time, "Well yes, it's sick, I just can't get the images out of my head. I mean father brought up telling me what was right and wrong, I never even kissed a girl till I met Alice, and I ended up marrying her!" Roger jumped from his seat and looked at his father, then shouted, "You're a bloody hypocrite, there I said it!"

(Yuna) "Wow- that may have been the most.....interesting statement I've heard in a while."

Curtis looked back, then casually said, "I am just glad you have not made any of the same mistakes I have made, and I pray you will not do so... I will answer for what I have done, I just hope you don't do the same as I have done, I've made some bad choices, yes, I don't deny it."

Roger nodded, then sat back down.

They finished eating breakfast; Roger and Curtis excused themselves to a military conference, Yuna made some remarks that she might have to leave soon. Roger told her if she had to go to just have Captain Nelson or somebody help her get to the plane, there might still be rebel snipers lurking.

She was lying down on the bed in her room, Salazar had dismissed the camera operatives, and looped the feed, he walked into her room, and the door was again unlocked. He acted startled, "Oh my, you're still here? I really want this room."

(Yuna) "Sorry- I should be leaving soon anyway." Yuna got up, and started to pack.

The 6'4 Salazar loomed very close behind her, "Perhaps you'd like to spend a while at my estate, eh? It'll be fun, very memorable..."

(Yuna) "No. I didn't want to two hours ago, and I don't want to now."

Salazar turned, as though to leave, and then said, "Are you sure, I know you'd like it..."

(Yuna) "My answer remains the same."

He casually started to talk again, while slowly turning around, "Did you hear some unscrupulous individual has placed a bounty for your capture alive?"

(Yuna) "Yes- I'm rather pissed."

He chuckled, "What was it they offered, 50 billion for you?"

(Yuna) "Something like that- they must really want me." She smiled as she said that.

He grinned back, "I wonder what exactly for..."

(Yuna) "I know. They can't have me, however."

Salazar turned to walk away, she turned to go back to packing, he quietly turned around, walked up right behind her, jammed a chloroform soaked rag over her face, while pulling both her arms to her side, pinning her tightly, "Guess who put the bounty up!" he chuckled, as she started to drift into unconsciousness.

Yuna thought to herself---"Bloody hell.......not again...." She then drifted finally into unconsciousness.

She came to about three hours later, tied to a bed in a dark room, she could see the red ember from a cigar nearby, a voice spoke, it was him, "Rise and shine, eh?"

(Yuna) "Where the hell am I?"

(Salazar) (Chuckling) "You're on one of my private estate, no use screaming, my servants won't help you, even if they heard you, we're in a soundproof room... And if you struggle, you'll only dig the ropes into you tighter..."

(Yuna) "Bastard---" *spits on him*

He just casually wipes the spit away, "You know I had a great deal of trouble getting you out of that mansion, but luckily I had a large duffle bag, and you fit into it perfectly."

(Yuna) "Must've been pretty big. People will notice I'm missing."

(Salazar) "Not at all, I put your stuff onto the plane and had it leave, the plane will crash over the Atlantic, you'll be listed as dead, it's a perfect plan... I even had a person get onto the plane dressed as you, she'll jump before it explodes though."

(Yuna) "If I ever get out of here- I will KILL you.”

Yuna realized what he was saying, nobody would know she was still alive, she could be here forever.

(Yuna) "You motherfucking bastard...."

Salazar flicked a switch, it sent a mild electric shock through her body, he laughed, "Talking back is not allowed!"

(Yuna) "You'll never break me. The communists could not do it. Neither can you."

He had rigged an electroshock system up to her, he switched it on, letting the system warm up.

(Yuna) "I will make sure you have a very slow and painful death......."

Salazar shocked her again.

(Yuna) "Heh...heh....electricity. Now- why am I here?"

He smacked her in the face, and then pulled her head up by her hair, so she was looking right at him.

He literally shouted into her face, "You arrogant bitch!"

Before his tone calmed and softened, "You think you're too good to be with Field Marshal Salazar, eh?"

(Yuna) "Yes."

He started to chuckle, then he slapped her in the face and afterwards he spent the next twenty minutes raping her. When he finished, he spat tobacco juice in her face, then asked her, "Enjoy that, whore?"

(Yuna) "Not in the least----but- I'll make a deal with you. Let me out of the chains- and I'll show you the definition of a good time."

He smiled at her, "What would that be? You'd probably kill me, or try to, you've already made that clear..."

(Yuna) "I realized that was useless. However- I'll do for you what I did for Fabus- but with twice the intensity."

He looked at her, she could tell he was intrigued by the offer, "Hmm... Well that certainly does tickle my fancy, but you'll do more, once you're sufficiently broken... Now, to get on with breaking you." He grinned, before he pried her mouth open and dumped a spittoon full of tobacco juice down it, about three ounces totaled, more than enough to have her in pain, vomiting her guts out, for hours, maybe even enough to cause her problems with nicotine poisoning

(Yuna) "Disgusting... However, you've not seen the half of it."- Yuna then kneed Salazar in the groin.

Salazar fell over, clutching his crotch; he shouted for a guard to tie her down tighter, they strapped her legs down totally, eliminating any chance for the slightest movement.

(Yuna) "You're overlooking something, aren't you?"

(Salazar) "What am I overlooking? Your signal device? We jammed that..."

(Yuna) "Too little, too late. They already know roughly where I am. It's only a matter of time until I'm found- and you're dead."

Salazar smiled at her, before he shocked her again with the electro system.

(Yuna) "Electricity...can't..kill...me." Yuna then fell unconscious.

When she awoke, she was suspended upside down over a pool of water, a massive pool, at least two hundred long, and about thirty feet deep. She looked around, she was in a straight jacket, and Salazar was standing at a control panel by the side of the pool.

(Salazar) "Hello Yuna, how are you?"

(Yuna) "I'm not unwell. What am I doing in a pool?"

(Salazar) "You'll see... You get the honor of meeting my pet..." He pressed the wall in the corner of the pool went up, and revealed bars, then he pressed another button and the bars went up.... A large great white shark swam out from where the bars had been sealing off.

(Yuna) "A shark? What fool keeps sharks for pets?"

Salazar looked at her and laughed, "Do they scare you?"

(Yuna) "You could say that. I'm a competent swimmer, but, the straitjacket complicates things."

(Salazar) "Well enjoy your swim!" With that, he hit a button and it slowly started to lower her into the pool.

(Yuna) "BASTARD!"

Before she could reply, he sped it up so she was completely underwater.

Yuna then began to think to herself- "How the hell am I going to get out of this?"

The shark started to swim towards her, getting closer by the second.

"There's not much I can do---I have to let him get me. It's the only way- otherwise, I may not even GET BACK to Alec."

Yuna then started to indicate she wanted to be raised up.

The shark bumped into her, feeling around to determine what she was, it swam away and circled, then as it was about to dart right at her, its mouth open, she was raised up out of the water in a split-second.

(Yuna) "Thanks. At least I'm not shark bait."

He smiled at her, "Didn't like my pet, eh?"

(Yuna) "I prefer warm, fuzzy things- like cats."

(Salazar) "Ah, I have some of those as well..."

He pressed a button and she was swung to the edge of the room, and then released onto the floor. He walked over and picked her up off her feet, taking her to another room, he tossed her inside and shut the door. A few minutes later, he appeared in an elevated room that looked down into the room she was in. She could see him through the bulletproof glass.

(Yuna) "Should've been more specific. What now?"

He spoke over the intercom, "Meet my pet cat..." he pressed a button and a cage came up in the middle of the room, a Siberian tiger inside.

(Yuna) "I am really getting tired of this....."

(Yuna) "You know what- fine- I give up. You win. I'm yours."

(Salazar) "Well, I won't let him out, you'll be safe for now, but if you ever attempt to escape, or disobey me, you'll wind up either shark bait or cat food... Understand?"

(Yuna) "Completely."

He smiled, pressed a button, the cage went back down the mini-elevator. A few minutes later, he was in the room, he dragged her out...

(Salazar) "Just to make sure you're not just playing games with me, you can spend the next week in the box..."

She opened her mouth to talk, but he promptly gagged her.

It was a pair of panties from her luggage, at least they were clean. Salazar smiled at her when he knew she realized what she'd been gagged with, "nice, eh?"

Yuna basically verbalized something to the extent of "Was that really necessary?"

He sealed them in with duct tape that he wrapped around her face at least 1/2 dozen times, to the point where not even a semblance of a sound could be heard.

Yuna thought to herself "Just deal with it...it will all be alright."

He removed her from the straight jacket, put her hands were still restrained, he pulled them tighter behind her back before tying her arms together at the elbows. He guided her over to a large steel box, it was of a size such that you couldn't stand, sit, or lie down, you had to remain squatting.

He stuffed cotton balls into her ears and then sealed them in with duct tape, then he pulled a black hood over her head. This made it incredibly difficult to breath, and it eliminated any sounds she might hear through her covered ears, it also eliminated any chance to see a crack of light. The next thing she knew, she was inside the box, squatting.

Yuna thought to herself "Must try to minimize everything- got to breathe less."

He'd setup an IV to provide her nutrition; he didn't want her to die, just to go crazy from a lack of any sensory stimuli for seven days straight.

Time ticked by slowly, minutes, hours, it all lost meaning to her, she started to feel she'd go crazy from the total lack of stimuli that existed in this box. She also started to feel terrible pains from the position she had to squat in.

Yuna thought again, "I'll try to put myself in a trance- need to keep my mind active. Just keep thinking. Alec, for God's sake, help me." Meanwhile, back in Sevaris....

News reached the world that her plane went down in a storm over the Atlantic, flying through a Hurricane.

Alec was rather occupied. He was busy with work at his desk, when he recieved a phone call from his Defense Minister, William Honecker.

(Alec) "Yes- Alec here."

(Honecker) "Sir, I have terrible news to report. Your wife's plane has gone down in the Atlantic." Alec's face immediately turned pale. He was breathless for two seconds. He then teared up, and replied- "Are you certain?"

(Honecker) "That's the thing- she's alive. The plane went down, but Yuna is indeed alive. Her tracker shows her somewhere in Mississippi- we can't tell where precisely, but we have a rough idea."

Alec breathed a sigh of relief. "At least she's alive. Try to zero in on her location- update me every hour." He then hung up the phone, and immediately telephoned Roger.

(Roger) "Czar Fabus here, who is this?"

(Alec) "Kaiser Alec here- we've a slight situation. Yuna is missing- but we know for a fact she's in Mississippi. Do you know anything about this?"

(Roger) "She left over twelve hours ago, on her plane, back to Sevaris."

(Alec) "She wasn't on it. The plane went down over the Atlantic- but her tracker chip, which is implanted in her, clearly indicates somewhere in Mississippi. Someone set this up."

(Roger) "I have no idea who would do that or why... What are your ideas and thoughts?"

(Alec) "I hate to say it, but to pull this off, it had to be an inside job. It was either one of Felben's people, or one of your officers. Myself and my intelligence department can't decide which."

(Alec) "Did Yuna mention anything weird going on?"

(Roger) "I have no idea that what you're saying is even true.... You put a goddamn bounty on the heads of "Any Fabuses"... I have brothers, nephews, my wife is pregnant, if somebody shot her and killed her unborn child, you’d pay them money... You have the nerve to call me with your bullshit stories, when you're offering money for the death of "Any Fabus", how dare you!"

(Alec) "Okay- I admit, that was due entirely to public pressure. I intend to fix that- but, I'm not lying. The tracker logs clearly indicate she's in Mississippi, and I know she was there on a visit, per your request. I was just asking if you knew anything, dammit. "

(Alec) "I have more than enough proof- I'm not bullshitting you."

(Roger) "I think you are bullshitting me, I want some hard evidence."

(Alec) "I have the logs from the transmitter. I can even link you to the feed."

(Alec) "I also have the track for the jet- it went way off its scheduled flight plan."

(Alec) "If you've ever wanted to believe me- now is the time."

(Roger) "Fine, I'll have the SRG look into this as soon as our civil war is over. I can't spare many men to handle this right now."

Roger) "You don't know where she is, tell me, where do you think she is?"

(Alec) "We're getting more and more indication she is somewhere near what appears to be, according to my intelligence, the Salazar estate."

Roger gasped, "Good lord, well there is nothing we can do, not at the current time, I'm terribly sorry."

(Alec) "You do realize what will happen if we lose Yuna?"

(Roger) "We will keep an eye on Salazar, but if I arrest him, his soldiers will join the rebel cause, and the rebels will gain their nuclear weapons."

(Alec) "The whole government in my country will begin to erode- leaving it ripe for Communist takeover."

(Alec) "The world does not need the People's Republic of Sevaris again."

(Roger) "I can send soldiers to prop you up, don't worry ole boy."

(Alec) "You can send soldiers to save my regime- yet you can't send enough to rescue one person?"

(Roger) "Salazar has 80,000 RG soldiers under his command, and 5,000 are around his estate, we don't have the men to spare to crack that defense. Besides, he has influence, we cannot topple his influence just yet. I can send a few hundred soldiers to your nation to massacre the leftist leaders. What do you say?"

(Alec) "No. I do not do political executions. We need to get her out- we can make it look like someone else did the job."

(Alec) "Hell, we can dress them in someone else's uniform, for Chrissakes."

(Roger) "I have some mercenary soldiers coming back from Senegal, they can handle the work, of course they'll have to be paid... With the civil war raging, I've no money to spare to pay them, and I'm not dipping into my personal stash."

(Alec) "I'll pay them, then. Yuna's my wife anyway."

(Alec) "I can file it under government expenses- Parliament won't give a crap.

(Roger) "Okay, well I'll get these plans moving, we probably won't be able to get this underway for a few weeks, at least... We'll have her back to you within a month or two, at the most. It all depends on how long it takes to get a spy inside the Salazar estate and gather intell.”

(Alec) "Can you please let my own soldiers do it? We'd be in and out very quick. My soldiers are gentlemen- they leave civilians alone."

(Roger) "You must understand, I don't really trust you."

(Alec) "This is a necessity, dammit. I'd even help you fight your war, for God's sake."

(Roger) "I honestly don't want your soldiers in my land, they'd probably rape our women."

(Alec) "They wouldn't- I am proud to say that in our recent military campaigns, we have had no cases of rape reported."

(Roger) "Yeah, you just cover them up."

(Alec) "No- I publish these figures. For God's sake- why can't MY people rescue MY wife?

(Alec) "I'll even dress them as Canadian troops, for God's sake."

(Roger) "Just let us handle it, we'll get around to it soon enough, don't worry, I want Yuna to be safe as well, she's a good person."

(Alec) "Yeah- but she needs to be stable mentally. She's the other half of the equation when it comes to running Sevaris. Hey, I've an idea- I'll send in some of my divisions in to fill gaps in your lines, while you can divert some soldiers to liberating Yuna.”

(Roger) "No foreign soldiers will ever be allowed inside my nation. No exceptions, except allied forces..."

(Alec) "I can tell this is a problem, then."

(Alec) "You've seen our soldiers in peacekeeping operations- they don't rape, pillage, etc. Unless it is, of course, Hataria."

(Roger) "Well, we will try to work something out... Okay, we'll infiltrate an operative into his mansion, and get back to you within a week, okay?"

(Alec) "That works. May God help us all- especially Yuna. The hell she must be going through."

(Roger) "Well, I hope this all works out, I am praying for her... Speaking of trouble, did you hear some assholes were putting prices on Alice's head, and my sisters as well... They want to rape them in public to cause me grief..."

(Alec) "Yeah- extreme assholes. They also want Victoria."

(Roger) "Yes, I know, she is my sister as well... They're all very beautiful women, and intelligent as well, I'll guard them with my life if necessary."

(Alec) "I admire your dedication. I would do the same for Yuna too."

(Roger) "Some nig--rs once tried to rape Eleanor, when she was just sixteen, Paul was with her and defended her though, protecting her womanhood from being violated."

(Alec) "Can't blame him."

(Roger) "I'm glad that father took care of the nig--rs a few years back. Mississippi is now a white state, 100% pure white."

(Alec) "Regrettable, admittedly, but, hey- it's your policy. Anyway, thanks for your help- I really appreciate it."

(Roger) "I'll call you immediately when we figure something out."

(Alec) "Excellent. Farewell." Alec then hung up the phone. He buried his face in his hands, and said "God- please- give Yunie the strength to continue on- I don't want her to die."

Meanwhile, at the Salazar Estate...

...Good christ, IT'S TOO LONG!

Edit: Teal Deer.

Salazar dragged her out of the box, and over to a table.

Yuna appeared semi-unconscious, as if in a trance.

He spent ten minutes raping her then tossed her back into the box, the only stiumli she'd get for the next week would be if he decided to take her out to rape her, he was going to break her down... Make the only thing she'd experience be his raping of her.

Yuna arose from her trance, and thought "What the hell? Did he rape me or something?"

She squatted in the box and waited, it seemed like hours. Salazar was having a great time looking at the box, imaging the pain and anguish she was enduring.

Yuna thought to herself "I will kill the bastard- I will kill the bastard- I will kill him, dammit."

The next day, he opened the box and dragged her out again, he raped her for twenty minutes, let four guards rape her, and then tossed her back inside.

Yuna was very weak. Her mind was still active, though. "This is getting way too repetitive...."

She wanted to cry, but her gag prevented her from doing so without risking choking, so she squatted and waited.

The next day, she was pulled out four times throughout the day, each by Salazar, and each time he raped her.

This continued for the rest of the week, a total of seven days, the only stiumli she had was being raped. She had no idea of the passing of time, but she approximated that each rape came with the passing of a day. On the sixth day, two SRG operatives managed to infiltrate into the mansion, posing as servants.

Yuna kept thinking to herself, "Alec and Roger are smart men- they'll get me out. I need to cozy up to Salazar- deceive him."

On the seventh day, Salazar dragged her out of the box, removed the hood, unplugged her ears, and then took the tape off her mouth and eyes, then he removed her gag.

He grinned at her, "How do you feel?"

Yuna's expression was cold. "My ass hurts like hell- what do you think?"

(Salazar) "Do you know your place yet? Or would you like another week in the box?"

He smiled at her, "So you realize your position is hopeless, and you shall be here for a while... Yes?"

(Yuna) "Essentially."

He cut the restraints on her hands, smiled, and then barked, "Follow me."

Yuna followed. She told herself "Just swallow your pride- You'll be out of here soon enough."

He walked over to a bed and sat on the edge, "Lie down!" he commanded.

"As you wish." Yuna complied, and laid down.

He leaned in and kissed her.

In her mind, she was thinking "This is so fucking disgusting." However, she knew she had no choice. She kissed him as well.

He leaned back and smiled at her, "That wasn't so bad, was it? Now, I'd prefer you be on top, if you don't mind..." he rolled over and waited for her to get on top of him.

Yuna rolled over on top of him. "Remember, I'm rougher than your average Mississippian slut- You sure you can take me?"

Salazar laughed, "Hahahaha! You've a good sense of humor... I can handle you, do your worst..."

At that moment, something inside Yuna snapped. She started to strangle him.

A guard jumped on her and pulled her off of him.

Two other guards helped him.

(Yuna) "I told you so."

Salazar sat up, grinning, "We haven't learned our lesson, have we? Do you want to go for a swim?"

She knew what he meant, the shark...

Yuna replied- "Shit no- I told you I was rough. Not my fault you weren't prepared."

He slapped her and then tossed her down onto all fours, he held her hands down while he went to work... When he was finished he slapped her again, "I can be rough too..." he chuckled.

Yuna chuckled. "You've not seen the half of it. You don't want to."

The Field Marshal gently lay down on his back, and beckoned for her to lay next to him, she did so, and rested her head on his chest.

(Salazar) "I think we'll break you in, it'll just take a while longer... You don't want another week of the box, do you?"

(Yuna) "No- but do you want a week of the torture that is my sex?"

He smiled at her, "I like it rough... But I prefer to be the one doing the rough part, you'd best realize, the best way to avoid the box is to serve me well..."

(Yuna) "I can just imagine..."

Salazar ran a hand through her hair, it was tangled and dirty, "You need to bathe", he chuckled

(Yuna) "A week of squatting in a box can do that to a girl."

He sat up, then picked her up into his arms, carrying her into the bathroom.

He sat down in a large tub and beckoned for her to sit down on his lap.

Again, Yuna thought to herself, "Are you kidding? Bullshit I am. Wait- I have to, if I even want to get out of this hellhole." She spoke, "As you wish, master." She then sat on his lap

Salazar smiled at her, he started to untangle and wash her hair, at the same time he was thrusting into her as she was on top of him.

When he finished cleaning her hair and raping her, he chuckled, "Well now you're all clean, well almost, except for down there..."

He took a cloth and soap and scrubbed her where he had just mentioned.

The Field Marshal grinned, "See, I take care of my property..."

Yuna was startled-"Rather unbecoming of an officer, don't you think? Also, I am not your slave. I've never been a slave to anyone- never will be."

Salazar kissed her neck, and then laughed, "You obviously aren't broken in yet, perhaps more time in the box, eh? Don't you get it, you're not going anywhere, ever, you're mine."

(Yuna) "That may be true- but I'm still me. Can't change that."

Yuna kissed him on the cheek. She chuckled-"However, perhaps I can change you...."

He jumped up out of the tub, and pulled her out, he got dressed, she started to put on a robe that was on the back of the door, he shouted, "No, you'll stay nude, until I deem it time to clothe you."

Yuna sighed. "Whatever."

Yuna asked- "However, could I trouble for a bra or something? These things are heavy."

He ignored her, and then escorted her into the dining room across from his bedroom, he sat down, and pulled her onto his lap, he then proceeded to feed her like she was helpless.

Yuna spat on the floor. "I can do it myself, you know. I'm not two, damnit.”

He slapped her, "Don't waste good food... Obviously you're not hungry anymore." He stood up and dragged her out of the room, back into the bedroom.

She was indeed still hungry, very hungry.

(Yuna) "Lemme guess- sex again?"

He shook his head, "No, I'm tired, you'll sleep next to me, to keep me company... Don't get any ideas though, there are guards all-around."

(Yuna) "Would be suicide anyway. I'm not stupid, you know."

She decided to raise the issue that she was still hungry and wanted something to eat.

(Yuna) "I hate to admit it, I'm a bit hungry. I apologize earlier- I merely resent being treated like a toddler."

He grinned, "Still hungry eh? I've got something for you." He forced her down onto her knees and dropped his pants.

Yuna was screaming in her mind- "Hell- not again. I hate it when they do this."

When she was finished, he looked at her, "Had enough? Want some more?"

Yuna coughed, then chuckled. "Do your worst."

He made her suck him again, and then had her suck three guards that were in the room.

He sat down in a chair and chuckled at her, "Done yet?"

Yuna chuckled- "Try me."

He stood up in front of her and barked and order, “Again!”

She started again, however, she seized on an opportunity- and bit him.

Yuna backed away, and said- "You had enough?"

He screamed in pain, before two guards pulled her off of him, he smacked her in the face before he fell over in pain.

Yuna then chuckled. "Can't say I didn't warn you."

Two of the guards dragged her to a barracks room, for the next eight hours, two platoons of soldiers took turns on her. When they were done, they brought her back up to Salazar's room; she was thoroughly exhausted and distraught, wishing she were dead.

Salazar was reading a book, he looked up, grinned, "Yuna, had enough yet?"

(Yuna) "I have to admit- you actually got your act together. It would be almost better if I was dead."

He set the book down, and dismissed the guards, he then sat on the bed, "Come Yuna, you must be tired, we're going to sleep now...."

Yuna sat on the bed too, and laid down. She closed her eyes and thought- "Alec- please, help me."

Meanwhile, across the Atlantic....

Alec was in a tizzy. He was discussing with his Generals the best way to rescue Yuna.

The phone in Alec's office rang.

Alec picked up. "Alec's office- Alec here."

(Roger) "We've confirmed she is indeed at the Salazar Estate..."

(Alec) "Excellent, excellent. I can't thank you enough. How do you propose to rescue her?"

(Roger) "Our operatives stated that earlier today they saw her, a platoon of soldiers was taking turns on her.."

Alec was enraged. He smashed his hand through a window. "I'll kill the bastards..."

(Roger) "Calm down, we'll get her out, don't worry... Perhaps we could talk to Salazar?"

Roger dialed a three-way conference call system and soon Salazar was on the phone.

(Salazar) "Field Marshal Salazar, Commander of the Northern RG Defense Corps, how can I help you?"

(Alec) "Salazar....I will blast you from the surface of the Earth- You are now my personal enemy- I WILL see to it that you have an extremely slow and painful death."

Salazar in an expertly faked tone of ignorance, "What is the matter?"

(Roger) "Francisco, you know what the matter is."

(Alec) "You kidnapped my wife, you bastard. I know all about you- raping her. I will ensure you die, damnit. You and your entire family."

(Salazar) "I have no idea what you are all talking about... I swear, I was shocked and appalled when I learnt Yuna was missing, I have allocated 5,000 of my soldiers to search for her."

(Alec) "Don't insult my intelligence- I know you're lying. You kidnapped her, dammit. Why else would she be at YOUR estate?"

(Salazar) "If she were here, I'd surely know about it... She isn't here though...”

(Alec) "I have enough proof. Her tracker chip clearly indicates where she is."

(Alec) "I have other sources at my disposal as well."

(Salazar) "Oh my God, perhaps she is being held on my own estate, without my knowledge... I'll have the guards search the entire grounds, don't worry, we'll find her."

(Alec) "No- you listen to me, you motherfucker- you release my wife- or else I will ensure you die. I know she's there- let's put it this way- a little birdie told me."

Salazar started to chuckle, "There is nothing you can do, she had the nerve to insult me, now she is paying for it... I'll tell her you said hello the next time I'm fucking her."

Roger was too blinded with rage to speak, so he let Alec handle the talking.

(Alec) "You will die, asshole. I will ensure it, personally if needs be. You will be purged, expunged, and if need be BLASTED from the surface of the Earth. God help you if you did this to Alice- I know Roger is far less forgiving than I am."

(Salazar) "Alice was willing, she was good too... If she hadn't accommodated me, the rebels would have taken Stalingrad without my help in lifting the siege... Roger owes the victory, and his life, to the fact that his wife spread her legs for me!"

Roger smashed his fist into the wall, breaking every bone in his hand.

(Alec) "You halfwit- anyone can out-Generalyou. My troops could easily do your job."

(Roger) "You listen here Salazar, you're going to get it, you're through."

Salazar chuckled, "Not exactly, Curtis won't allow it, besides, you need my four RG divisions, we have tactical nuclear weapons, it'd be a shame if we sided with Felben."

(Alec) "Salazar- you have twenty minutes to release Yuna. Otherwise, you will become a non-person."

(Salazar) "I'd consider releasing her, if I'm guaranteed immunity and amnesty, I could just toss her into the swimming pool and let her get better acquainted with my pet shark... If I must die, I shall take her with me, how does that sound, Alec?"

(Alec) "You will comply- or else. My wife is much more capable than you imagine."

He chuckled, "I know how capable she is, I've experienced her firsthand!"

(Alec) "Then, you must have experienced the pain that she can deal..."

Salazar started to ponder aloud, "I think she might like to swim with my shark, yes..."

Alec realized he was powerless to stop this madman from killing his wife.

(Alec) "You kill her- I take you with her."

(Alec) "How does having over 2000 ICBMs landing on your lawn sound, Francisco?"

(Salazar) "Okay, they'd kill more than just me, that would start a war."

(Roger) "He is right, we'd never stand for that."

(Alec) "If that's so- so be it."

(Alec) "I will not let you get away with this. Believe me."

Salazar sighed, "I'll release her, in a few days, I'm not tired of her, not yet..."

(Alec) "No- You listen to me, asshole. You release her now- or the consequences will be dire."

(Roger) "You'll release her now, and you'll be lucky to keep your estate when this is all over... You'll be lucky to be alive, indeed!"

(Salazar) "Okay, calm down, she can leave, I'll let her go in a few hours..."

(Alec) "I am coming to get her, personally."

(Salazar) "Oh, does it complicate matters that she's pregnant?"

(Alec) "Not terribly- abortion is legal here."

(Salazar) "Does her having syphilis and a few other things complicate this?"

(Alec) "That does. Now, you'll die regardless."

(Alec) "Hopefully, we can treat her. However- you will pay the penalty."

(Salazar) "Okay, well I'm going to get my tactical nuclear weapons ready and switch sides to Felben, I think I'll kill Yuna... And once we win the war, Roger... Alice, will be mine."

Roger started fuming with rage, "You're dead, I'll kill you myself!"

(Alec) "You will lose- kill Yuna, AND I TAKE THE WORLD WITH ME!"

(Salazar) "You'll do no such thing, you need my help, either deal with me and accept my terms, or you lose the war, and Felben nukes the world, he thinks it's time for Armageddon."

(Alec) "You deal with me- let Yuna go now, and I may let you live."

(Roger) "Okay, everybody, calm down... We can't have a nuclear war... Alec, you can't kill him since I need him..."

(Salazar) "That's right!"

(Alec) "I can't let this asshole get away with raping Yuna- you can't let him get away with raping Alice either"

(Roger) "But I swear to you, I'll kill you myself, someday in the future, for what you forced Alice to do."

(Salazar) "What happened with Alice wasn't rape, she did it willingly, to secure my forces support for Roger..."

Roger sighed, "That is true, but you coerced her."

(Alec) "It was bad enough."

(Salazar) "Okay, you can come and get Yuna back... I'm nearly done with her, I should have time for a few more goes with her before you get here. Don't hurry, take your time." He chuckled.

Alec then began swearing in various languages, varying from Romanian to Basque.

Salazar laughed, "See you soon, Alec", and then hung up.

Alec then resumed speaking English. "BASTARD!"

Roger sighed, "I want to kill him, but I can't... We need him, right now.. No use swearing, he hung up..."

(Alec) "I realize that. After the war, can't you kill him?"

(Roger) "Maybe, yes... I'll do it personally, myself, with my own two hands..."

(Alec) "I'd like a hand in that. Anyway, I'd appreciate if you'd meet me at the estate- to ensure he doesn't try anything funny."

(Roger) "I'll have a few regiments of the SRG, along with Navarres RG forces, and Smith's RG forces, they'll meet here at Stalingrad and we'll drive to Salazar's estate... And yes, you can help me kill him."

(Alec) "Thank you. I'll leave right away."

Alec then drove to the airport, where he and a company of Nationalist Guard boarded an An-124.

Salazar walked up to Yuna, she was lying on the bed, unrestrained, he laid down and told her to get on top of him.

Yuna did so. "I will ensure you pay, Salazar."

Salazar started her moving up and down on him, he grinned while he manipulated her in such a way.

He let his grip on her up and told her to, "Keep it going."

Yuna then kicked him the groin. "How's that?"

Two guards ripped her off of him, he flew into a rage, shaking off the pain, and he flicked out a switchblade. The guards held her arms tightly behind her back; another guard had her legs pinned together.

He walked up to her, smiling at her, he lightly traced the knife across her face, leaving a light mark...

(Salazar) "Tell me, Yuna... Why don't you ever learn your place?"

Yuna smirked. "How nice of you."

(Yuna) "You really want to know why? I'm only sworn to obey two things in life: God, and the state."

He traced the knife across her cheek again, this time digging it in, leaving a very obvious mark, a stream of red blood dripped out as the blade was scraped across her face.

(Yuna) "You're only giving Alec more reason to kill you."

He chuckled, "Alec is coming here, to retrieve you... He'll be here soon, well he thinks he is going to get you back..."

(Yuna) "You obviously don't know my husband."

(Yuna) "He'll go to great lengths to get me back- at any cost."

Salazar laughed, "I happen to know my entire Defense Corps is going to be ready to ambush him... He's going to die, but not before he sees me take you before his eyes."

(Yuna) "You'll go down with him, then."

(Yuna) "Alec can be very brutal in times of war."

She wasn't so sure though, she knew Salazar's eighty thousand soldiers were elite, capable of almost anything they could put their minds to. She just hoped that Roger would help Alec with all the available forces at hand.

Yuna knew that Alec would fight to the death, taking as many men as he could with him.

Salazar traced the knife over the other side of her face, laughing as he did so.

Yuna thought to herself- "God, please, let all of us come out alright."

Meanwhile, Alec's plane touched down at Stalingrad.

Roger Fabus, Field Marshal Bertrand Navarre, and Field Marshal Reginald Smith were waiting to greet Alec.

Alec and his guard exited the plane. He presented himself to the Czar. "It's the hour of reckoning, Roger."

*They presented themselves to the Czar. Alec spoke up-*

(Roger) "Greetings Alec, I am glad you made it here safely... We have about 6 divisions ready to surround his estate if necessary, but we can't manage this for long... If the rebels sense our defenses are weakened because we are fighting amongst ourselves, Felben will seize the opportunity to attack."

(Alec) "We'll have to move quickly, then. I have my air bases in Maryland on alert- I can call them in if we need them."

The BMP-3s, T-98s, T-98Ws, and T-99s were readied to move out, eight hundred tanks in all, along with four thousand BMP-3s. A column of approximately fifty tanks and two-hundred BMP-3s would actually pull right up to the mansion on Salazar's estate, the other units would hang back and wait.

They arrived at the estate, everything was quiet, not a sound, not a sight of a single guard, they were all in well-concealed positions.

(Alec) "Quite a force you've got here- I suppose Salazar's got defenses up the wazoo?"

(Alec) "Right then- do we contact him?"

(Alec) "I'd like to try and get Yuna out with as little blood as possible- perhaps he's actually reasonable."

Alec looked out and saw Yuna, nude, tied to a pole on the roof of the mansion. Salazar was standing next to her. He looked down and laughed, "Hello Alec! How are you?"

(Alec) "SALAZAR- PUT MY WIFE DOWN- OR I SWEAR I WILL TEAR YOU TO PIECES!"

Suddenly Alec saw a red dot appear right on his chest, Salazar shouted, "There are snipers and MILAN teams all-around... Don't make a move!"

Alec put his hands up. "Right then- I suppose you've got some terms, then?"

Salazar untied her from the pole, but she was still restrained with her hands behind her back... He held her over the edge of the roof by the ropes and said, "I'll let her go, if that is what you really want..."

(Salazar) "You want me to put her down, yes?"

(Alec) "As in, I want her to be let down safely. Kill her- and I take you and everyone else with me."

Roger called out, "Francisco, be reasonable!"

(Salazar) "You'll kill me, as soon as you can! I don't trust any of you."

(Alec) "Look- I want you to let my wife go. That's all I want."

(Alec) "And, no, I did not mean literally."

He suddenly motioned as though he was going to drop her, then he moved her back over the roof and let her go, she fell to the floor of the roof with the thud, he had been holding her about five feet up in the air.

He laughed, "I let her go!"

(Alec) "BASTARD!"- Alec then gave orders to a sniper to target him.

Suddenly, a red dot appeared on Salazar's chest.

(Alec) "Looks like we're even- what are you going to do?"

(Salazar) "You can have her back, of course." Suddenly Alec heard a shot ring out, and the red dot on Salazar's chest immediately vanished.

Alec's guard then opened fire.

(Alec) "HOLD YOUR FIRE!"

The guns silenced.

Salazar dove for cover behind a brick wall, holding a gun on Yuna, "I'll kill her!" he shouted

(Salazar) "If you want her, come up here, alone and unarmed, you can have her back!"

Suddenly Yuna slipped out of the ropes, Salazar jumped back and up, keeping his pistol trained on her.

(Salazar) "Just go! Get out of here, you can go!"

(Yuna) "Never." Yuna then attacked Salazar, kicking him in the groin. He dropped his pistol out of pain.

Yuna then picked it up, and aimed it squarely at his head.

Roger shouted, "We need him alive, or we lose the civil war and Felben gets his hands on nukes!"

(Yuna) "You really need this motherfucking bitch?"

(Roger) "Yes!"

(Yuna) "OKAY! I believe you. However, for good measure-" Yuna then aimed the pistol at Salazar's shin, and fired. She then threw the pistol off the roof.

(Alec) "Thank God it's over. Now, let's get her down."

Yuna climbed down an external ladder- she rushed into Alec's arms.

(Alec) "Yuna- I'm so glad you're alive- I feared he had killed you."

Salazar drew a 32 caliber pistol from an ankle holster and fired repeatedly towards Yuna, one of the rounds caught her in the leg. He then dove behind the wall again.

(Yuna) "I'm glad to be alive. God, I love you..." She and Alec started to kiss, but then, Yuna collapsed into Alec's arms.

(Alec) "SALAZAR!"

(Salazar) "She shot me first! We're even, just leave!"

(Alec) "No...You've done too much." Alec then began to climb the ladder, his AK-103 slung over his shoulder.

Salazar pressed a button and the ladder started to fold up.

Alec then jumped down just in time.

A shot rang out, a 308 round from a sniper hit Alec in the back as he jumped onto the roof.

Alec then collapsed, with only a brief cry of pain.

Salazar grabbed the rifle from his hands while he was stunned from the pain.

Meanwhile, on the ground...

Yuna stumbled to her feet. She then grabbed one of the guard's AK-103s, and aimed it squarely at Salazar. "Let him go- or I blow your brains out."

He tossed the rifle down and his grip loose on Alec, "Just leave!" he shouted, limping away towards the door.

Alec then exited the building.

(Alec) "That's one hell of an evening."

Alec then turned to Yuna. "Yuna- are you alright?"

Yuna hugged Alec, but then collapsed in his arms again.

Alec screamed: "MEDIC!"

An RG Medic from one of Smith's units rushed over to her and two other soldiers helped him carry her to an ambulance BMP. They herded Alec along, letting him climb inside as well.

Alec buried his face in his hands- "God, we've come too far already- please, let her live."

She started to go into shock from the blood loss, then cardiac arrest. The medic grabbed a defibrillator and shouted, "Clear!"

Alec ducked.

He repeated this two times before he shook his head, turning to face Alec, "I'm sorry..."

Another medic shouted, "It's not over yet!"

He started giving her CPR.

Alec was praying constantly, hoping his wife would be alright.

A few minutes later, she coughed, signifying she was alive.

Alec then kissed Yuna. "You're back- God be praised."

The medic stopped the CPR and then hooked her up to a machine to help her breathing, they already had an IV going.

Alec then called Roger's cellphone.

(Roger) "Hello, is she okay?"

(Alec) "Yes- they got her back. I can't thank you enough for what you've done- Myself and my nation are eternally in your debt."

(Roger) "I'm glad it all worked out well... I'm just sorry Salazar got her to begin with... Vengeance will be ours soon though, fear not."

(Alec) "I hope so- I want to see that bastard burn in the depths of hell."

(Alec) "Oh- and next time- let her keep her pistol. That way, we can avoid things like this," Alec chuckled.

(Roger) "Okay, sorry about having her pistol taken... Don't worry, Salazar will get his."

(Alec) "It's good. I'm happy knowing that he will burn for it. Also, I heard she contracted Syphillis. I'm no doctor, so, is there a way to treat it?"

(Roger) "Father has had it dozens of times, just each time you get it, take antibiotics, it'll be gone in a few weeks, but you can get it a new time, but the antibiotics should always treat it, unless it's a resistant strain."

(Alec) "Ah- that's a relief. Hopefully genetic therapy should be able to help fix it as well."

(Roger) "I think Salazar recently contracted HIV, I'm not sure though, I'd have to check his dossier... All I know is Alice doesn't have it, thank God."

(Alec) "I hope to God he didn't...."

(Roger) "We have a cure for it, don't worry..."

(Alec) "I'll trust you on that one."

(Roger) "Don't let word get out we have a cure though, we don't want the nig--rs finding out..."

(Alec) "As for me, I'm not terribly bad off. Just the bullet in the back- and I'm fine. Yuna's the one I'm really concerned about."

(Alec) "Your secret's safe."

(Roger) "Godspeed getting back to Sevaris..."

(Alec) "Thanks. We're going to head back to the airport- then fly back home. I hear trouble's brewing over in Kahta."

(Roger) "What are we going to do about Salazar?"

Yuna was slowly regaining the ability to speak. "Kill the bastard- he nearly did me in." Alec then got back on: "I say, to make it even, we capture him, put together a tribunal, then find some inhumane way to execute him."

Roger sighed, "He's too important to me.. Once Felben is dead and the war is over, perhaps... But also, I don't know how father would feel about a revolutionary hero being killed."

(Alec) "That's what I meant- you need him for the war. Afterwards, he's as good as dead in my opinion. Why would Curtis object? I mean, he knows what he did to Alice- and soon he'll know what happened to Yuna."

(Roger) "Yes... You have a point, I suppose when the time comes, I'll kill Salazar, personally."

(Alec) "I'd like a hand in that, too. He's caused me far too much pain...."

(Roger) "Okay, you can help."

(Alec) "Thanks. That'll help the healing process. Also, what's the war looking like? I can always send in help, you know."

(Roger) "Felben's forces are being pushed back from Jackson City and the estate here at Stalingrad is totally secured now. The rebels are retreating on all fronts."

(Alec) "Great news. I'm glad to see they're collapsing. The last thing we need is that madman in power."

(Roger) "Some of my DIS and SRG intelligence operatives tell me your nation has a bounty out for any and all Fabus family members, is that true?

Alec sighed. "I admit it, yes. That's my fault. I didn't want to do it, but public pressure forced my hand. However, when I take this story back home, they'll shut up about it. Nevertheless, I have already ordered them to be cancelled at once."

Roger sighed, "Okay, well I've already ordered the hit against you called off..."

Alec was surprised. "I wasn't aware there was one. Meh- they don't tell me these things.”

(Roger) "Yes, they were going to send several dozen SRG operatives to shoot you down in the streets of Madrid."

(Alec) "Really? With security as tight as it is now, I'd be surprised."

(Roger) "The men were all going to be part of a suicide squad."

(Alec) "Foolish, but effective, in theory. Anyway- I hear that there's trouble in Kahta. Do you think it'll end up in war?"

(Roger) "No, it'll blow over."

(Alec) "I hope so. I really don't want a war right now. Say- is Alice alright? From what I heard she got it as bad as Yuna did."

(Roger) "Alice is fine, well physically fine... As for emotionally, I cannot yet say..."

(Alec) "I do hope she's alright. These things can drive a person to the brink."

(Roger) "Well we're only alive because she did what she did... The siege was only lifted because Salazar's timely arrival with his corps."

(Alec) "Reminds me of what Yuna did."

(Roger) "Maybe... But I didn't order Alice to do it, indeed I didn't even know until after the fact, or else I'd have stopped it."

(Alec) "I knew there was a good chance it would happen. The two of us had no alternative, though."

Roger sighed, "Well at least Alice wasn't subjected to the same sort of specifics that Yuna was..."

(Alec) "I agree- what happened to Yuna is pretty damn hard to beat. However- with Salazar, She got her revenge already."

(Roger) "Really? Already? He's still alive you know..."

Alec chuckled. "I know, but, from what she tells me, she made it VERY painful for him."

(Roger) "Well take care, I hope you're well... Oh did I mention, I'm going to have a child soon, I hope it's a boy.”

(Alec) "Ah, congratulations! I just had a girl myself. With regards to me, the doctors say I'll be fine. Just a bullet wound in the back. Yuna's the one I'm really worried about."

(Roger) "Well I have to be running along, I want to get back to Stalingrad shortly. Have a safe flight back to Sevaris."

(Alec) "Thanks. My best to the family."

Alec and Yuna were rushed back to Alec's An-124 waiting on the tarmac. It took off, and Yuna was being treated in the medical bay.

Alec was working in his office, when someone knocked on the door. It was Dr. Ericsson, one of his personal physicians.

(Alec) "Come in." The doctor came in, but his expression was grave. Alec asked, "So- what's the story?"

(Ericsson) "Not good. We found she's got a large number of STDs- we can treat them, however, she has HIV."

Alec's jaw dropped.

(Alec) "What the fuck!?”

(Ericsson) "I'm sorry. However, there is hope. Rumor has it the Mississippians have a cure or something- they didn't tell us, but you may want to investigate that."

Alec's expression was cold. "You're dismissed." The doctor then left the room. Alec immediately called Roger- pehaps, just perhaps, there was a chance.

(Roger) "Hello, Alec, I recognized the number, how are you?"

(Alec) "I'm fine- but Yuna isn't. It's taken turn for a worse...she's tested positive for HIV."

(Roger) "Fear not, we'll send a doctor with some of our cure, he'll leave immediately from Stahlecker City in Western Sahara, he should be there within three hours."

(Alec) "Thanks. You do realize we're in midair, though."

(Alec) "So- tell me- how did you get a cure for HIV?"

(Roger) "That is confidential, I cannot discuss it. Besides, Dr. Baldur Von Schacht would know about it, not I."

(Alec) "Right. He's missing, isn't he?"

(Roger) "He is somewhere in Dimmimar."

(Alec) "Ah. I do hope you find him. He's worthy of the Nobel prize."

(Roger) "The world calls him the doctor of death, because he experiments on condemned convicts who would otherwise hang.”

(Alec) "In my book, if they actually committed a crime, then it's ok. Anyway, I've gone ahead and called the airports- his plane is cleared to land anywhere in Sevaris."

Roger and Alec said their goodbyes and then each man hung up.

A few hours later, both planes had landed at the same airport and the doctor injected Yuna with the cure.

Alec was sitting with Yuna. "I can't thank you all enough for your help- You've done a great service for my country."

The doctor nodded, "Just doing my job, sir. I've got to be heading back now, take care."

(Alec) "You too."

Alec then called Roger again. "I can't thank you enough- You've done us all a great service. Yuna's expected to make a full recovery within three weeks."

(Alec) "If there's ever anything I can do- give me a call."

(Roger) "Nah, think nothing of it, just doing the right thing. But I'll keep your offer in mind in the event I ever need something. I hope you and Yuna are both well."

(Alec) "We are, as is Elektra. I'm just glad Yuna's ok- I had feared for the worst."

(Alec) "How's your father doing?"

(Roger) "Curtis will be fine, thank you for asking... How is your daughter doing?"

(Alec) "She's doing well. Normal baby stuff, but she's ok. Fortunately, her physicals indicate all clear- I had feared there would be complications."

(Roger) "Have you thought about what military academy she'll go to? Might I suggest the Republican Guard Infantry Academy in Philadelphia in Neshoba County?"

(Alec) "I've already decided to send her to Ferrol Military Institute, one of Sevaris's most renowned military academies. She's officer material, if she's anything like her parents."

(Roger) "I think the RG academy offers a great deal, no offense, but possibly more than the FMI. See in the RG academy, cadets will actually accompany active duty forces into combat..."

(Alec) "Wouldn't the cadets be more of a liability, then? We send our groups out on war games, sure, but not into full-fledged combat."

(Roger) "I fought in Chechnya in 2002, I turned out fine."

(Alec) "Ah. Our military theory suggests that it would be a liability, but I personally don't know. It's been years since I commanded anything."

(Roger) "Well consider my offer. I've got to run along. Take care." Roger promptly hung up, he indeed had to run along, the military situational reports were coming in, he had to make authorizations and issue orders.

This will continue with what happens with Salazar and how the situation is resolved.

bump for the night

The phone in Alec's office rang, ringing several times before he managed to get to it.

Alec picked up the phone. "Kaiser's office- Alec here."

(Roger) "Hello, Alec, Roger here..."

(Alec) "Ah, Roger, hello. How are you?"

(Roger) "Salazar is in Portugal right now..."

Alec spat out his coffee. "You're kidding, right?"

(Roger) "Not at all, I'm dead serious."

(Roger) "He's visiting family, and his uncles grave."

(Alec) "The man's a bloody fool then. This works to our advantage- do you know where specifically?"

(Alec) "Wait- he wouldn't be related to Dr. Antonio Salazar, would he?

(Roger) "Yes, Antonio was his uncle."

(Alec) "Good. I know exactly where he'd be then. If he's visiting his uncle's grave, he's somewhere in the little town of Santa Comba Dão. That's where Salazar's buried."

(Roger) "What are you going to do?"

Alec chuckled. "Isn't it obvious? I'll kill the bastard."

(Roger) "Yes... But I don't know... He is one of the few surviving relatives of Antonio Salazar... Although he does have a half-dozen children..."

(Alec) "That's irrelevant. We have a great opportunity on our hands, Roger. I suggest we not waste it."

(Roger) "I know what you mean... By the way, I've been in Lisbon for two hours now."

(Alec) "Okay....but why wasn't I informed of this?"

(Roger) "The SRG insisted I keep this top secret until I was safely on the ground."

(Alec) "They do a damn good job, then. Even my intelligence agencies weren't aware of it. Anyway, I'll be out to meet you."

(Roger) "Yes, no offense but our intelligence services are much better than yours."

(Alec) "That remains to be seen. Anyway, I'll be out to Lisbon as soon as possible- I'll tell Yuna, then I'll go."

(Roger) "Okay..."

(Alec) "I can tell you're a bit worried about this."

(Roger) "Yes, Alice wants him dead, but she isn't sure, and neither am I... But we all have reason to want him dead."

(Alec) "It's for the best. See you soon." Alec then hung up the telephone, and called Yuna into his office.

(Alec) "Yuna- the time's come. Salazar is right under our nose- and we're going to exterminate the little bugger once and for all."

Yuna jumped into Alec's arms. "Alec...I'm so happy. We'll finally be at peace, again. I hope you come out alright."

Alec chuckled. "Hey, it's me." He kissed Yuna goodbye, and flew out to the airport. There, he boarded a Pilatus PC-12 for the flight to Lisbon.

When the plane landed, and he got off at the gate, he could see Roger sitting in a chair in the private lounge, nervously rapping his fingers on the table...

Alec was puzzled. "Roger, why so worried?"

Roger looked at him, "I was supposed to stop killing people months ago when I left the Guard..."

"Things change. There are evil men in the world- the kind of men who deserve nothing better than to be exterminated. This is one of those circumstances. We're doing the right thing, trust me," Alec replied.

Roger sighed, "Fine, then let's go... I want to get back to Mississippi before Alice starts worrying..."

Alec walked out to a waiting car, and motioned for Fabus to follow. On the way, he explained- "Our agents indicate Salazar's going to visit the cemetery tonight. It's fairly quiet around now, so we should have no trouble getting him."

Salazar was lying in a bed in a hotel near the town, his family reunion would be held in a few days.

He was tossing a baseball up into the air and catching it, he was bored out of his mind.

A few hours later, as the sun was going down, giving way to the dark embrace of the calm night, Salazar drove by himself to the cemetery.

He lit up a cigarette as he walked over to the grave of his uncle, he made the sign of the cross and then stood in silence for a few minutes, then he raised his head and started to speak loudly to himself, Alec and Roger, waiting nearby could hear him.

Francisco started to cry as he spoke, and he fell to his knees, "Oh Uncle Antonio, look at me, hardly the gallant captain of the revolution that I was twenty years ago... Look what I've become... Uncle Antonio, forgive me, I've tarnished the family name. God forgive me!"

He kept sobbing and crying, hitting his hands against his knees. Alec wanted to dart out and get him, but Roger held him back and said, "Wait."

Alec was a bit intrigued. "Wow- He's really devoted to the Salazar legacy."

Francisco continued to sob, he cleared his eyes with his hand, then he uttered, "para você, tio nobre" as he unholstered his pistol.

(Alec) "What's he saying- I don't speak Portuguese."

Roger whispered, "He said "for you noble uncle"."

Alec whispered. "Wait- it looks like he's going to do it."

Salazar made the sign of the cross and then raised the pistol up to his temple and closed his eyes.

At that moment, something inside Alec snapped. "This isn't right- I have to kill him myself."

He shouted as loud as he could, "For Portugal!"

The report of his pistol echoed throughout the cemetery, his body fell limp in front of the grave.

Alec went over to investigate. "Amazing. He actually mustered the courage to do it. Commendable, but..."

(Alec) "I wanted to do the job myself. Ah well- saved me the trouble."

His body was warm but lifeless, the eyes staring up at Alec.

(Alec) "Creepy, in a way. I've not been this close to a corpse in a while."

Roger couldn't resist and he turned to the body, snapped to attention and threw his left arm into the air, shouting "Hail Victory!" (The standard salute given to an officer)

Alec drew his pistol and fired five rounds into the air. "Hurrah. The asshole's dead!"

Roger then bent down and removed Salazar's blood stained officers cap, took his watch, and then his wallet, marshals’ baton, and his pistol. He slowly closed his eyes and laid him out flat. He stood back and saluted the body.

Alec saluted as well. He then turned to Roger- "What do we do with the body?"

(Roger) "He will be buried in his native Angola, that is how he'd want it."

(Alec) "I suppose so. I honestly wanted to cremate it, just for the sake of ease."

(Alec) "I'm not sure how your public would take it- so I wanted to keep it quiet."

(Roger) "We don't believe in cremations, besides, his body is property of Mississippi... We'll either bury him in Mississippi, Portugal, or Angola."

Despite what he'd coerced Alice into doing to get his forces support, Roger couldn't help feeling a great degree of pity for this man that lay dead before him. A true hero from the 1984 revolution, a noble white man, but somewhere along the way, he'd gone astray. Probably it was the inevitable culmination of his failed marriage, his wife's drinking problems, his own drinking problems, and his drug problems.

A tear of Roger's fell onto the body, Alec noticed it but wasn't sure he should say anything.

Alec decided not to. While Salazar was a rapist and a general scumbag, he realized that he still served Mississippi honorably, like a true officer.

Roger turned and started to silently walk back to the waiting car. Two SRG men moved passed him, on their way to collect Salazar's body.

Alec saluted the body once more, then walked back to the car.

Alec got into the car and the radio was on, a Mississippian channel, they were already talking about his death.

(Radio) "This just in, Field Marshal Francisco Salazar was killed in battle in Western Sahara against a remnant faction of the CMB. He will be buried with full honors in Mississippi."

(Alec) "Wow- your news services are pretty fast."

(Alec) "And a falsified death report to boot." Alec chuckled. "I've got to give you credit, you're efficient."

(Radio) "Salazar was a true hero, a great fighter for the cause. In the words of the Czar, "Francisco was a good personal friend of mine, and my father, and he will be greatly missed. However, we shall never forget his great deeds from the 1984 revolution or his later battles against injuns and nig--rs when he earned the nickname "Chemical". He will be missed." We will bring you more on this story as it develops."

Roger didn't both acknowledging Alec; he just sat there with his face against the window of the Cadillac, looking out at Antonio's grave as the two SRG men lifted Francisco up into their arms to carry him to a waiting van.

(Alec) "I guess you're a bit depressed, eh?"

Roger sighed, "A good man is dead... Well he used to be a good man.:

(Alec) "People change, Roger. I'm certain he was an honorable officer at one time, but, now, he's done a disservice to the uniform."

Roger faked a smile, "I guess so... I don't really want to talk about it though, he just lost his way...

(Alec) "I understand. It's always painful having to kill people you considered your friends."

(Alec) "The deed is done, though. We can all sleep easier."

(Roger) "You know he had a drinking and drug problem over the last few years..."

(Alec) "That could've been a factor. Still doesn't excuse him from what he did, at least, in my book."

Roger frowned, "His six children will likely grow up without parents now... Well they might as well, their bitch of a mother is either too high or too drunk to take proper care of them. Francisco was driven to drinking by her, she'd throw things at him and hit him, he never fought back, he didn't think it was right to hit women."

Alec was again puzzled. "Why didn't the state take them in?"

(Roger) "I remember one time at a party, father had the SRG give his wife a beating because Francisco refused to do it himself, and father said she needed a good beating. She had thrown a glass bottle at him in front of a room of other officers."

Roger sighed, "We don't usually take children from their parents."

(Alec) "But wouldn't this be a special case? Also, I agree with your father. She needed it, even if she was a woman."

(Roger) "The only time I ever saw Franciso hit his wife was when she slapped one of his sons, he belted her right in the face and told her if she ever touched one of his children that he'd kill her."

(Alec) "Again, she needed it. A pity he didn't stand up to her more often- then we wouldn't be in this situation."

(Roger) "He just didn't like hitting women..."

Alec sighed. "I guess he's a real believer in the 19th Century Victorian Gentleman school of thought. I only do it when I need to."

(Roger) "I've never hit Alice, I'll admit I was tempted to when I found out what she'd done to secure Salazar's support... But I could never bring myself to cause her any harm... And I cannot bring myself to be glad Salazar is dead, if there is any justice in the world, he is at peace now."

(Alec) "I have only hit Yuna twice. Neither of those times in public, only because she needed to be brought back to reality.. She did knee me in the groin once at a press conference, also. Sometimes we both lose it- and we each deserve it."

Roger smiled at him, "Well you two sound happy, I'm glad for you... I'm quite happy myself, as is Alice..." he frowned, "But I can't stop thinking about what will happen to his children, they're all very young, well most of them, two of the boys are officers in the RG, the rest are all under eight."

(Alec) "Roger, the solution's painfully simple. Place the young ones with foster parents."

(Roger) "But with whom? They're nobles, we cannot place noble children with non-nobles."

(Alec) "Why don't you or one of your siblings take them in?"

(Alec) "You seem to be a fairly responsible person," Alec said. "I'm certain they'd be in good hands."

Roger frowned, "I don't know if Alice would like the idea of having six children that aren't ours running around the estate... But I'll talk to her about it."

(Alec) "Just a suggestion. Like you, I don't want to see them in the hands of their mother- she sounds like she belongs in a mental hospital."

(Roger) "She does indeed, but nobody had the nerve to tell her since she was married to Francisco."


Roger sat there; staring out the now rolled-down window, the rain that had just started a few minutes ago was coming into the car, battering against him. He knew no matter how much water hit him; he’d never be able to remove the feeling of blood on his hands. Salazar wasn’t really a fundamentally bad person, but Roger had known him before his wife drove him crazy, so Roger knew him to be a good and loyal officer. But now he was dead, his services forever gone, the regime would have to make do without Field Marshal Francisco “Chemical” Salazar…

Roger didn’t respond to anything Alec said during the twenty minutes it took to get to the nearest helipad from where Roger would be helicoptered back to Lisbon. Instead of speaking, Roger just silently nodded his head, wishing Alec would shut up and quit trying to make him feel better, it’d be a while for him to come to terms with the lose of the man whom as a youth he called “Uncle Francisco”… He remembered when he was 13 and 14, Salazar taught him how to properly use an NBC suit and how to tell what sort of chemical weapon was being used by detector papers, he taught him everything he knew about NBC warfare.




Ooc- His children:

And yes I realize his wife hasn't had sex with him in six years, she made exceptions to have children because she wanted the Salazar name to be carried on for ages.

Yes I realize Salazar had more than six children, Roger was just mistaken (even Czar's can make mistakes)
