chapter 5 Forest fires |
| [00:07.060] |
Later that morning, four guards took Rilla to Gog' s office |
| [00:12.910] |
His face looked tired and his eyes were red |
| [00:16.510] |
' Leave us,' he said to the guards Then he looked at Rilla |
| [00:23.850] |
' Tell me about Kiah When did you first meet him? |
| [00:30.170] |
Is Zadak his friend? What do they talk about?' |
| [00:37.470] |
Rilla looked down at the floor and said nothing |
| [00:42.400] |
' Come on, tell me!' Gog said angrily |
| [00:48.190] |
He waited, but Rilla said nothing |
| [00:53.250] |
' Tell me about Zadak, then |
| [00:56.100] |
Your father and Commander Zadak were friends |
| [01:00.260] |
Now, you' re talking to Zadak about the AOL |
| [01:05.100] |
I know that What is Zadak saying?' |
| [01:08.960] |
' Why? Why do you want to know about Commander Zadak?' Rilla asked |
| [01:17.860] |
' I' m asking the questions, not you,' Gog said |
| [01:22.960] |
' Did you see Zadak yesterday?' |
| [01:26.050] |
' The AOL is important, not Commander Zadak,' Rilla said |
| [01:33.630] |
Gog watched Rilla carefully' Zadak is dead' |
| [01:41.760] |
' No!' Rilla cried |
| [01:46.820] |
' He is dead,' Gog said again |
| [01:51.350] |
' You lost your friend, here in this building, early this morning |
| [01:56.430] |
My guards shot him' |
| [02:00.340] |
Rilla' s face went white' What happened? Tell me!' |
| [02:05.750] |
' I' m going to tell you one thing,' Gog said angrily |
| [02:12.300] |
' I' m going to destroy Australia |
| [02:15.830] |
I' m going to burn Zadak' s new forest there You can tell all your friends! |
| [02:24.310] |
Zadak wanted to kill me, but I killed him |
| [02:29.460] |
He wanted money for rain, money for the AOL, and now he' s dead |
| [02:37.350] |
You can tell all those prisoners in prison 888 |
| [02:42.680] |
They wanted to stop me, but they can' t now |
| [02:47.230] |
I' m going to Mars! Bel always wanted to go to Mars' |
| [02:54.090] |
He began to hit the table with his hand |
| [02:58.910] |
' I' m going to leave this dead planet! Nobody can stop me!' |
| [03:06.110] |
' You' re crazy,' Rilla said |
| [03:09.950] |
' You killed Zadak, but one day someone is going to kill you' |
| [03:14.700] |
Gog stood up His face was tired and he looked ill |
| [03:21.910] |
' Be quiet!' he said' Guards! Take her away Back to 888' |
| [03:31.080] |
The guards came in and took Rilla out |
| [03:35.890] |
' What happened?' she asked them |
| [03:40.610] |
' Commander Zadak is dead why is Gog angry?' |
| [03:47.270] |
The guards said nothing |
| [03:49.510] |
But after they returned to the gate of 888, aguard said to Rilla, very quietly: |
| [03:58.640] |
' Belis dead Zadak didn' t shoot Gog, but he shot Bel, before the guards shot him' |
| [04:08.080] |
A guard took Rilla into the prison, and soon she was with Kiah again |
| [04:15.560] |
' What happened?' Kiah asked' Tell me' |
| [04:20.690] |
Rilla put her hands over her face and began to cry |
| [04:27.170] |
' Zadak is dead,' she began' He didn' t kill Gog |
| [04:31.740] |
He killed Bel before the guards shot him, |
| [04:38.010] |
and now Gog is going to destroy Australia' |
| [04:43.050] |
Kiah sat down on the floor next to Rilla |
| [04:48.360] |
His face was sad |
| [04:50.750] |
' Don' t cry,' he said quietly |
| [04:56.690] |
Three or four prisoners came across the room |
| [05:00.850] |
' What' s the matter?' they asked |
| [05:07.680] |
' Zadak is dead,' Kiah said' But Bel is dead, too' |
| [05:12.350] |
' What' s going to happen next?' someone asked But nobody answered |
| [05:19.300] |
The next afternoon, Captain Seru' s brother took Kiah and Rilla to a little room at the back of the prison |
| [05:30.470] |
They sat down, and five minutes later Captain Seru arrived Nobody smiled |
| [05:40.500] |
' You were right, Captain,' Kiah said |
| [05:47.690] |
' Gog sent us to prison because we told him about the holes in the AOL' |
| [05:53.850] |
Seru smiled' You were right, Kiah,' she said |
| [05:58.890] |
' Those satellite numbers were very bad |
| [06:02.460] |
I began to tell Gog, but he didn' t listen to me' |
| [06:06.980] |
' Would you like some coffee? And some sandwiches?' seru' s brother asked |
| [06:13.680] |
' Yes, please,' seru said |
| [06:17.530] |
' I' m hungry' she looked at Kiah and Rilla' Things are very bad' |
| [06:24.990] |
' What' s happening?' Rilla asked |
| [06:29.170] |
' You know about Zadak? And Bel?' |
| [06:33.870] |
' Yes Gog told Rilla yesterday,' Kiah said |
| [06:38.700] |
Seru smiled, but her eyes were not happy |
| [06:43.300] |
' Gog talked to me this morning,' she said |
| [06:48.980] |
Her brother came in with the coffee and sandwiches and Seru began to eat |
| [06:55.630] |
' Gog wants to know about Zadak, and about you,' she said |
| [07:00.890] |
' He' s going to kill us all, I think, before he goes to Mars' |
| [07:05.950] |
Suddenly, Rilla felt ill' I can' t eat now!' she cried |
| [07:14.710] |
But she took some coffee and began to drink |
| [07:19.150] |
' Let' s get out of here,' she said |
| [07:23.320] |
' Perhaps we can get a plane to Brazil and go to my family' |
| [07:28.420] |
' Difficult,' seru said |
| [07:30.880] |
' Last night fires began in the new forest in Europe, and they' re moving across Europe |
| [07:40.270] |
The fires in Africa are burning fast |
| [07:43.430] |
Gog began to destroy Zadak' s forest in Australia yesterday' |
| [07:50.210] |
' Did you phone Adai?' Kiah asked |
| [07:55.430] |
' Adai! You never stop talking about Adai |
| [07:57.320] |
What can he do?' Rilla said She felt angry |
| [08:01.900] |
Seru looked at Rilla for a minute |
| [08:06.200] |
' Yes, I phoned Adai before I came here |
| [08:10.610] |
I told him about Zadak and Bel, and about the fires |
| [08:14.870] |
He asked about you, Kiah |
| [08:18.990] |
He can' t come down at Kisangani airport because Gog is there with a lot of his guards |
| [08:25.100] |
Ship MARS 4 is nearly ready and Gog is watching it |
| [08:30.680] |
He wants to leave Earth tomorrow' |
| [08:35.810] |
' How can Adai help us?' Rilla asked' He can' t shoot all the guards here' |
| [08:43.050] |
Captain Seru finished the last sandwich' |
| [08:47.240] |
Let' s leave that to Adai,' she said' We can do nothing' |
| [08:51.270] |
' Are you going to stay here?' Kiah asked |
| [08:57.650] |
' Yes,' seru answered' Adai is coming to the prison after he arrives on Earth' |
| [09:05.350] |
' Oh yes?' Rilla said tiredly' But when? Gog can kill us before Adai comes' |
| [09:17.040] |
' No, he can' t,' seru' s brother said |
| [09:21.050] |
' You can stay here, in this room |
| [09:25.400] |
Gog' s guards are all afraid afraid of the fires, afraid of the people |
| [09:32.380] |
They aren' t going to look for you here' |
