Epicureanism the final act

Lana Don Ferraz was a clever and astute woman who knew how to get anyone to kneel in front of her.

Lana is 26 years old, so young she has won the respect of everyone in the central-west part of London, as a child Lana became an orphan because her parents were victims of the mafia, she had no health and lived in bed, by the luck of fate found a beautiful nun with silky straight hair and a wooden rosary that she lived carrying on her wrist that welcomed the young Lana.

As time went by Lana started to get out of bed more, she felt better, with the help of the nun who took her in Lana learned about lady care and how to behave like one, Lana had a happy childhood surrounded by happy people.

                                                                                 ***

On a certain night, a group of youngsters entered the orphanage with the intention of stealing, the Nun, worried about the children, hid them all in the basement of the orphanage where only she had the key and also ripped the latch that was hanging to pull the staircase to protect the children, Lana and the others were afraid, the oldest of the orphanage Leonard Foster while calming everyone saying that everything will be fine and that the nun would return to tell her stories.

But in the same place where Lana was standing there was a hole, she looked through this hole in the ground at the nun trying to defend the children and scare away the outlaws.

"This is a holy place where the little ones grow and develop by God's grace, I beg you, take what you want and leave!" shedding tears the nun speaks with a sad and desperate tone.

"Me and my colleagues have looked everywhere and we haven't seen few things of value, we don't want to harm the children or anything like that" spoke the leader of that group of young people with a tone of malice and determination, "But boss, I realize that we have another thing of value here in front of us hehehe" spoke the smallest of the group with a disgusting and malicious tone.

At that moment the nun knew the intentions of that group, they had already seen the whole house, so they already knew the geography of the place, so they already knew how to get in and how to get out, "If... I do this... will you leave?" with a low and fearful tone the nun speaks lowering her head, so the leader of that group pulls her from the silky hair that was once cherished by Lana and takes her to another place... meanwhile Lana was left without knowing what to say... Lana was desperate... afraid... and hateful.

                                                                               ***

4 years after the event, the nun was hospitalized to date with physical and psychological problems and was no longer able to care for the children.

All the children had been separated to different and distinct orphanages, the place where Lana and Leonard went was the Angelsongs Orphanage, an orphanage where everyone had their duties and chores to do and all with a lot of restriction and absolute rules. Lana and Leonard realized how horrible life in that orphanage would be and decided to leave.

Lana worked in various places, fabric stores, clothing stores, she worked in various houses as well, but the place Lana liked working the most was in the library, Lana's job was to organize the books and remove the dust from all of them, but she was poorly paid and overworked.

Leonard worked in various fields, carpenter, mechanic, kitchen helper, cleaner and even a call boy to earn money, Leonard was tired just like Lana, Leonard always lived with Lana and saw her as a rare jewel that could not be touched by anyone.

But one night on Leonard's way home from work he saw a woman being abused in a cul-de-sac, the faces of the abusers? is a face Leonard would never forget, the same faces of those who hurt the mind and body of the nun he saw as his mother, Leonard without even thinking filled with rage and anger and ran straight at the outlaws, the outlaws saw Leonard approaching and did not even recognize him and one of them to protect them pulled a Swiss army knife from his pocket and stood guard and gave a stab with the knife toward Leonard, even without ever fighting Leonard possessed a natural talent for fighting, his quick thinking and speed helped him, for having worked in areas that had to use much strength Leonard had the strength of a gorilla in his hands, his body was not the most shapely but was super defined and shapely, at the same moment Leonard dodged his body to the right, with his right hand grabbed and pulled the arm of the boy and with the back of his fist hit him full in the jaw of that boy, making him break his jaw, even fallen to the ground and bleeding from the mouth Leonard continued to hit until alleviate their fury.

"STOP IT, THEN HE WILL DIE!" Shouted in a tone of desperation one of the boys, one of them indignant with the situation grabbed a table leg that was nearby and went up to Leonard with all the strength, raised that table leg to the top towards his head, Leonard heard the footsteps of the other boy approaching and decides to give a jump back, making the other boy hitting the knee of his friend and breaking it, at the same time Leonard gives a boost tilting his and hitting a right jab directly in the left rib of the boy making him fall to the ground.

An enraged Leonard looks directly at the leader with the cold stare of a wild animal ready to kill its prey and goes after the rest of the gang, it has been a long night for Leonard and the girl who was being abused has been saved.

                                                                             ***

Leonard rings the doorbell of his house to come in and Lana goes up to him claiming to answer it.

"Realmente Leonard você não tem nenhum senso de horário não?! são 2:40 da manhã e você...." Lana ao abrir a porta viu Leonard com metade dos braços ensanguentados e seus punhos e dedos feridos e em carne viva.

"So you have found them ,haven't you?!" said Lana with a look of disappointment

"I... not only found them... but I killed them!" Leonard said with tears on his face and a sad tone of disappointment in himself, Leonard was not a bad person and even less a violent person, at the age of 6 Leonard accidentally broke the arm of one of his friends in a game of wrestling, and was so remorseful of himself that he was locked in his room for 3 weeks.

Lana, listening to Leonard, punched him in the face immediately, "You are really crazy, even though you got revenge for what you did, what will change now?!, now you have become nothing more and nothing less than a vengeful murderer" Lana spoke with a look that expressed disgust and concern, but at the same time... a little happy that those boys were punished.

After that day they received a black colored letter saying on the front "From John Zagred, Leader of Amongst the shadows to Lana don Ferraz and Leonard Foster" and on the letter it said:

"Dear Sir and Miss Lana and Leonard, My name is John Zagred, one of our informants saw the act of a boy with brown hair white skin and green eye killing my companions using his fists, an act that I really think needed to be done, they paid the price for what they did, however. . I cannot show solemnity for the acts that the two of you have done... so I compel you to come to Bullevard street north narrow, enter an iron door with the flashing light written on the sign 'Exit' if not I will kill that nun you love so much. with respect John Zagred"

At that moment Lana and Leonard's only option was to attend the place that was desired by John Zagred.

Arriving at the place they come across the door and enter expecting it to be a trap, Leonard was apprehensive and always on the lookout and Lana was not worried as long as Leonard is with her.

"Welcome, Lana Don Ferraz and Leonard Foster, I want to announce that you will both receive a punishment for what you have done to my subordinates." Thus spoke John Zagred a tall man in a black robe, white dress shirt and black jeans, Leonard at no time felt afraid, Lana was not at all intimidated by the situation.

"Here today are the vice commanders, Freak Sanes and Henry Loyalty, Freak had blond hair that was tied on one side and the other covered his eye and Henry hid his face to a mask with a cartoonish smile and wore a black cloak with red and white Stripes.

"Actually, we were the ones who told them to go to the orphanage, but the story they told us was that they just arrived and didn't find the director of that orphanage and left... after reading the newspaper we saw what they did and we punished them, but they still continued with the abuse... Unforgivable" Freaks said with a soft tone and expressing guilt, Henry remained silent and decided not to give his opinion.

After hours of conversations they decided that they would work for them in this area, Leonard's strength together with Lana's Intellect would be the duo that would fight to maintain order in the central western part of the city.

Time went by and Leonard together with Lana achieved all kinds of feats and punished bad people and fought against all kinds of evil to maintain order in the city, this together with John Zagred and his mafia, Lana and Leonard punished corrupt police officers, bandits, thieves, murderers and others.

but there was one person they could never find... a cunning and cunning person, who if allowed to cheat even death, he is considered the terror of London and the one who has more control than the prime minister himself... no one knew his real name but everyone called him Sisyphus.

"And that's my story Johnny Greybarrial, that's how Leonard and I ended up here, we come from different families and live here together as brothers, now you can choose to help us in the search for Sisyphus or not" spoke Lana sitting in a red armchair holding her Book.

"But I still don't understand, what will be my job? I don't know how to fight and I don't have any contacts" said Johnny with a low tone and a slight sound of fear, at the same time Leonard came in with the Greybarrial family suit stitched as if Johnny had never been stabbed in the stomach.

"Very good Leo, Johnny you will be the scapegoat, Zagred's informants have told us that the Sisifo Mafia attend lavish parties inside a certain place and you will enter there and make friends with Sisifo's henchmen using the Greybarrial name" said Lana with a mischievous smile on her face.

"Okay but first of all, how am I going to use my family name!!!, some informant of Sisifo must already know about me" Johnny wanted no part of Lana or the Mafia's plans, "Greybarrial parties are very private and Sisifo doesn't seem to care much about his political relatives since the whole Greybarrial family only cares about money and popular social status PSRR.... HAHAAHAHAHAHA" Lana starts laughing and drops her Book, "Really your family is very dumb Johnny... ouch ouch, but not you, even without understanding anything about the world or things you have something special that makes you special Johnny, it just remains for you to find out."

"Okay" Johnny speaks in a slightly more embarrassed tone and starts to get his cheekbones a little reddened, "Second, where will this meeting be held?!" Lana upon hearing Johnny's question gets up from the couch and goes to a Window and opens the big curtains, the moment it is opened, Johnny yvê that view with an amazed face.

"exactly Johnny Greybarrial, you are going to enter Buckingham Palace" so says Lana with a determined look.
