14. Bullet The Blue Sky
Bono's POV
"-He faint out! He freaking faint out The!!!"
"-Yeah I can see too!" he snaps at me angrily.
"-Was your fucking idea to come here! Do something!"
"-I am trying!" it's all he says as he really is trying to catch Larry's heartbeat.
"-Edge sorry for the outburst but I am afraid! So much afraid!!! If something bad happen to him..."
"-Calm down! Everything is under control!" I hear a somehow familiar voice saying.
I turn my gaze to where the voice is coming from 'cause clearly is not Edge's and I have to blink a couple of times before I realize who the guy is. I look once more peering down at his gray hair and his kind smile as he lean on beside Larry, checking out if his alright as The is looking at me with a really big question mark in his eyes.
"-Holy shit!!! What is happening here? You had to be in L.A.!!!" cries out The as seems to be completely out of his mind.
"-I was and now I am here... What's the big deal?"
"-So this was not one of your crazy plans?" I ask in disbelief.
The shook his head as an answer. I crawl where Larry is laying asking more confused than ever before:
"-So was no one's plan?"
"-If am considered as no one!" I hear Larry's voice from bellow as he push himself from the ground.
"-Yours? Oh give me a break! I thought you died or something!!! I almost had a heart attack!!!"
"-The gunshot kind of thing was real! We just adjusted to the situation so Adam can make his appearance."
He explains as he supports his head with his right hand.
"-Does it hurt?" asks Adam who is still standing on his feet offering his hand to Larry to help him up.
"-Just a little. Don't worry am fine." He says but I can see he is really dizzy so I stand up and put an arm around his shoulders to support him.
"-Easy now tough guy!" I comment as he try to get out of my grip.
"-How is even possible?" asks The as he is still laying on the ground.
"-Calm down I can't read your mind! What are you talking about?" whispers Larry who still is resting on my arms.
"-You are not the only one with a special talent in surprising others with your ideas." comments Adam as he offers his help to Edge leaving Larry in my arms.
"-But how?" asks again The now standing on his feet right next to Adam.
"-I saw the cart in your wallet! That simple! No special powers or any kind of magic!" finally answers Larry having a satisfied look draw in his face.
"-The cart!!! Which fucking cart are you talking about?"
"-Someone is getting old!" tease Larry before he answer the real question and I am frankly dying from anticipation to know what exactly happened so I focus fully at Larry who's now speaking again without care much for the death stare he earns from The as an answer in his previous question-statement.
"-Do you even remember who or when you contact with to arrange our visit here, grandpa?"
"-What a question! Of course I remember!!! Oh... Wait a minute..." he says after a small pause peering at me with a lost gaze and after he burst out laughing. And once again I don't have the foggiest idea what's going on. But before I even manage to ask Larry leans his head near my ear whispering:
"-I listened his conversation when he was arranging our tickets and staff like that and it was the perfect opportunity for Adam to make his appearance."
I nod in response as I just realize something:
"-There is one more mystery guys!" I shout trying to get their attention
"-What is it, Sherlock?"
"-The gunshot! The gunshot was real!!! Real!"
"-But it's over now! Chill out!" reassures me Adam patting me gently in my back.
"-I said on the ground! On the fucking ground!!! NOW!" says a raw and raspy voice as I hear more gunshots and Larry plus me on the ground I see a bullet, yeah is a bullet for God's sake!
"-A bullet..." I shatter.
And it takes only this sound and this little bullet to make the screenplay of my worst nightmare vivid again.
It was the summer of 1986 when I visited El Salvador with a group of Americans who were offering solace to refugees of the civil war which took place there at the time being. And it was that day we went over the cliff and we could see the valley below, we could sense the feeling of death, it was beneath us, it was around us... Then I didn't felt I was in danger maybe all this situation was risky but not dangerous all the same it wasn't the same for the people who were fighting! War what an idiotic idea! What else war could be if not the result of the failure of the mankind as thinking persons! Now fear is all over my body, is all over my mind and I want to stand on my feet and shout "Freedom is a human right!" but the weight of fear is dragging me down. If only I could tell the world all that I witnessed back then... If I could talk about the pain in the faces of the women who was trying to protect their children, about the hope within the souls of the older one but life seems to go on and on for the rest of the world... Every single one of them were fighting, fighting against their demons, against the hunger, against their desires, against their needs without giving on. I clench my fists and open my eyes I saw a young man running and a very tall older one chasing him with a gun in his hand.
"-Calm down no war! No war here!" I hear Edge whispering to me while he is stroking my hand.
Edge knows everything I saw and has the unique ability to express through his music everything it was inexpressible for me through my words. That's what we give the world! That's what I can't give on my own! Feelings cause you can't understand anything you haven't felt at least once. Music can do that! Music can teach you how to feel!
"-Bullet the blue sky" I whisper back to The as I hear the tramping fade away.
"-Safe no war!" he says once more with reassuring tone.
But I am sure that this words is not enough to calm me down! There is a sparkle of fire in my soul form when I first experienced the danger and the fear of dying at any minute and since then I managed to get it out of my mind but I can't pull it out of my heart! No I just can't!!!
