Valbaran cities were far smaller than their human equivalents, and it didn’t take long before Jaeger found himself in a side street, away from the p...ying eyes of the crowds. Here, only a few Valbaran flocks disturbed them, peering at the aliens as they passed them by.There was an abundance of neon signs here, the alien text that adorned them indecipherable, but it was such an oddly human sight. If it had not been for the strange lettering, he might have assumed that he was in some East Asian. In the open air, there was the cross that Aisha found in the basement. Surrounding it, bleachers had been placed to accommodate the sheik and his men.Aisha led Lila to the cross. A stepping stool was at the bottom of the device and Lila climbed onto it. Facing the cross, she raised her arms, to reach the shackles that Aisha then fastened on her wrists. Aisha then removed the stool leaving her to hang, momentarily, by the wrists.

He's got a wife and kid, a little girl, and they like it out here. Dick would give up everything for them. Yes sir, Dick's the best trooper in the great state of Washington, but he's also the best damn family man anybody ever heard of. A fine husband and a real father. They just don't make a whole lot of those anymore."Right then, quite unaware of his commander's unstinting praise, Dick sat in. Bolte boltei ananya totpor hoye uthlo. Chit hoye suye ami ek odbhut thoter sporso pelam amar bara te. Ananya amar bara ta mukhe puro dhukiye chusche. Ami abeshe chokh buje achhi. Ananyer mukh ta sudhu opor nich korche, amar bara te odbhut komol bhije jiv er sporso. Mone holo eber hoito barar ros beriye jabe. Ananya phis phis korlo, ‘tumi to besh sukh upobhog korcho, amar ta ki hobe?’.Amar bara ta chere diye ananya chit hoye amar pase suye porlo. Abcha alo te dekhlam or mai duto tir tir kore.
