                                              (Page 41)


       ... At twlve o'clock at midday, the press conference stars.
           All the world, and this is not a metaphor, is waiting.
           When the General comes into the room crammed with
           people, an absolute silence falls. Many journalists are
           still outside and they continue arriving. Screens and
           loudspeakers were installed in the streets. The General
           greets and says, "I won't answer any question, but I'll
           tell you exactly what happened. Be patient because 
           I have to go back to history. Well, many years ago, a
           clandestine army started to organise in our country.
           It was parallel, commandes by mercenaries and
           terrorists. They robbed our arms, navies, plane and
           submarines. They trained soldiers, who were no more
           that children kidnapped in the strets, who were sold a
           few months later as cannon fodder". 
           A rage murmur gegins.
          "It was very difficult to identify them. We had them 
           infiltrated and we didn't know who they were. So, we 
           also had to sneak in between them, and operation was
           organised that lasted 20 years..."
           

       ... "Now, I can say..." the General gets moved, so the
           President starts to speak.
           "it seems I will have to finish. Noblesee oblige, I just 
           want to thak for for saving the life of my grandson, who
           was one of the 960 missing children, to the man who
           being a simple soldier, the best strategist I have ever
           met, was able to organise and direct this big operation,
           and I'd like to ask you all to toast tonight for John 
           Rambo, wherever he is.
           That's all, Sirs, thank you".
           In the small refuge, the Lieutenant and Cora shout, "Yes!".
           Robie cries in silence, whit emotion and release.
           In the rest of the world, in each house and place of work,
           wherever there is a guard or a veteran, or a rescued child, 
           all the people taht had a television, bars, shopping malls,
           stadiums, everybody stopped their activities to learn what 
           has happened, and those that couldn't watch television 
           because of their work, such as van, taxi or bus drivers, with
           passengers included, were waiting for the conference next
           to the radio. And when the President finished, after a silence
           of astonishment, the people around the whole planet started
           to clap. Cheering was heard in several languages for a long
           while. In the editorial departaments of newspapers, TV
           channels and radio stations, telephones, didn't stop ringing.
           The journalists wanted to know who the mysterious soldier
           really was, what his story and life was, how he started as a
           simple soldier to finish whit this.
