Chapter 18 - Part 18 - Love and Life

At Morning...

Fahad woke up from sleep and went to the balcony. Today's sky was partly cloudy and there was a cold wind blowing.

The sound of birds chirping and the sound of the river's waves fascinated Fahad.

Then Fahad went to another room and saw Frostbite training very hard. Then he sat on a table and asked him, "Why you sweat more in training?"

Frostbite stopped training, turned his face to him and replied, "A warrior who sweats more in training, will bleed less in war."

Fahad nodded in agreement and asked, "So, you are a warrior, huh?" Frostbite exhaled softly, sat beside Fahad and replied, "I am indeed. I am a warrior but I don't war for any kind of lord or any kind of fucking kings. I war for myself but I am not a selfish. I am Man. I war for my fate. I war to vanish the darkness in the entire world. I war not to lose someone I love. I war to protect every single one I love. And that's why I have sweat more."

Fahad listened carefully to his words and understood them very well.

Then Frostbite jumped up from the table, cracked his back bone and said, "Ahhh, it feels good. Really. I am hungry now. Come on, Rooster. Let's breakfast?" Fahad also sat up from table and replied, "Yeah. Let's eat first."

Then the two of them sat down to eat breakfast, when suddenly someone knocked loudly on their door.

Then, as soon as Frostbite opened the door, a very beautiful girl pushed Frostbite away and entered the house, hiding in a corner.

Fahad sensed danger, but he had no fear. He calmly went to the door and stood there. Then three police officer came and stood in front of Fahad's door and asked, "Sir, NYPD. We're tracking a female in a red dress who ran past here a minute ago. Did she come this way?"

Fahad replied confidently, "No. And if she did, I'd expect NYPD to notice without knocking on random doors." Then closed the door at their face.

Then Fahad sat in front of the girl and asked, "Would you mind if I ask your name?" Then that girl looked at Fahad and replied with nervous voice, "I am Juliana Carpenter"

From the left side, Frostbite was sitting on ground and asked her, "Why were those police trying to catch you?" Juliana replied in trembling voice, "Cause I'm a journalist."

Frostbite stared at her eyes and said, "That wasn't my answer. I am asking again. Why were those police trying to catch you?"

Juliana stood up and replied, "A week ago I wrote a blog about NYPD misconduct. Three cops from the New York Police Department raped my sister. I wanted revenge. My brother was an honest and faithful man. He used to work at McDonald's. But those police killed my brother in front of me. And then, they have explained to the public that my brother was a drug addict." Then Juliana started crying.

Fahad listened carefully to Juliana's words and felt them because the same thing happened to him.

Then Fahad stood up with anger and confidence and asked Juliana, "Which branch of police were they?" Juliana stopped crying, wiped out her tears and replied, "Brooklyn Branch. 191 Union Street."

Fahad weared his long coat and said to Frostbite, "Take care of Julian. I'll come see you when I've finished something important."

This time, Frostbite didn't stop Fahad. He realized that even police officers need punishment. And maybe they need it now. No one can punish this more than Fahad.

Juliana sat on sofa and asked to Frostbite, "Can he defeat the police?" Frostbite smiled and said, "You know him but you wouldn't recognize him because you've never seen him." Juliana confusingly asked, "Who is he?"

Frostbite stood up from ground where he was sitting, put his hand on his pocket, gave her a mysterious smile and replied, "He is, The Gentleman."
