CHAPTER 7: INSIDE THE BLUE HELICOPTER

CHAPTER 7: INSIDE THE BLUE HELICOPTER.

Chapter 7 is called the blue helicopter because the Controller landed in his blue helicopter where Marrs was about to attack Ruth’s house. The Controller got angry when he saw the remains of Saul’s car, and he was really upset with Marrs because he was disturbing these houses where important old people lived. The Controller asked to Marrs the reason of being there.

Marrs replied that he had information about terrorists and that they were in those houses. He also told him that he had killed Saul Grant. Marrs was sure that Saul Grant was a terrorist and that he had killed him. Marrs told the Controller, that Saul was asking dangerous questions about the Music Rooms; in consequence, he thought that Saul was a terrorist.

The Controller didn’t care about Marrs suggestions. He told him, that maybe Saul was using the words Music Rooms in a different sense. The Controller told Marrs , that if he started to believe that he was more powerful than Control and to behave like that, he would close BEATCON down. The Controller ordered him to leave and never come back.

Marrs was very angry. He didn’t like the idea that the Controller was more powerful than him, but he can’t avoid Control. Dick Lane informed Marrs, that someone has started the car up using a control unit, and that no one was inside the car. Finally, Marrs ordered Dick Lane, to find more information. He wanted evidence to show the Controller that he was right about Saul Grant.

Marrs was evil and he didn’t care if he disturbs people. He wanted to talk and find Saul Grant immediately. He also suspected that someone helped Saul to escape, someone who knows how to move cars by a remote control.

My embarassing moment

I remember one time, when a friend of USA came to my house with his mom. They were staying just on winter vacation.

This boy "Jon" stayed at my house, in my brother's room. So, we hanged out together, including his mom, to a restaurant, and we were talking about how we felt that day, so I dont remember why, but I was angry with Jon, so I shouted at him in the table, " Hey Jon, I dont want you to sleep with me anymore because I'm angry", and all of them stared at me, like "What did you say?!?", including her mom, and I didnt realize what I have said since that moment...

This was so embarrassing, that I blushed haha, because I didn't mean that!! really!!...
What I wanted it to say, was that I was very angry with Jon, that I didn't want him sleeping at my house that night .
What a terrible confusion!
