[00:00.920]chapter 5 Forest fires
[00:07.060]Later that morning，four guards took Rilla to Gog's office．
[00:12.910]His face looked tired and his eyes were red．
[00:16.510]‘Leave us，’he said to the guards．Then he looked at Rilla．
[00:23.850]‘Tell me about Kiah．When did you first meet him？
[00:30.170]Is Zadak his friend？What do they talk about？’
[00:37.470]Rilla looked down at the floor and said nothing．
[00:42.400]‘Come on，tell me！’Gog said angrily．
[00:48.190]He waited，but Rilla said nothing．
[00:53.250]‘Tell me about Zadak，then．
[00:56.100]Your father and Commander Zadak were friends．
[01:00.260]Now，you're talking to Zadak about the AOL．
[01:05.100]I know that．What is Zadak saying？’
[01:08.960]‘Why？Why do you want to know about Commander Zadak？’Rilla asked．
[01:17.860]‘I'm asking the questions，not you，’Gog said．
[01:22.960]‘Did you see Zadak yesterday？’
[01:26.050]‘The AOL is important，not Commander Zadak，’Rilla said．
[01:33.630]Gog watched Rilla carefully．‘Zadak is dead．’
[01:41.760]‘No！’Rilla cried．
[01:46.820]‘He is dead，’Gog said again．
[01:51.350]‘You lost your friend，here in this building，early this morning．
[01:56.430]My guards shot him．’
[02:00.340]Rilla's face went white．‘What happened？Tell me！’
[02:05.750]‘I'm going to tell you one thing，’Gog said angrily．
[02:12.300]‘I'm going to destroy Australia．
[02:15.830]I'm going to burn Zadak's new forest there．You can tell all your friends！
[02:24.310]Zadak wanted to kill me，but I killed him．
[02:29.460]He wanted money for rain，money for the AOL，and now he's dead．
[02:37.350]You can tell all those prisoners in prison 888．
[02:42.680]They wanted to stop me，but they can't now．
[02:47.230]I'm going to Mars！Bel always wanted to go to Mars．’
[02:54.090]He began to hit the table with his hand．
[02:58.910]‘I'm going to leave this dead planet！Nobody can stop me！’
[03:06.110]‘You're crazy，’Rilla said．
[03:09.950]‘You killed Zadak，but one day someone is going to kill you．’
[03:14.700]Gog stood up．His face was tired and he looked ill．
[03:21.910]‘Be quiet！’he said．‘Guards！Take her away．Back to 888．’
[03:31.080]The guards came in and took Rilla out．
[03:35.890]‘What happened？’she asked them．
[03:40.610]‘Commander Zadak is dead；why is Gog angry？’
[03:47.270]The guards said nothing．
[03:49.510]But after they returned to the gate of 888，aguard said to Rilla，very quietly：
[03:58.640]‘Belis dead．Zadak didn't shoot Gog，but he shot Bel，before the guards shot him．’
[04:08.080]A guard took Rilla into the prison， and soon she was with Kiah again．
[04:15.560]‘What happened？’Kiah asked．‘Tell me．’
[04:20.690]Rilla put her hands over her face and began to cry．
[04:27.170]‘Zadak is dead，’she began．‘He didn't kill Gog．
[04:31.740]He killed Bel before the guards shot him，
[04:38.010]and now Gog is going to destroy Australia．’
[04:43.050]Kiah sat down on the floor next to Rilla．
[04:48.360]His face was sad．
[04:50.750]‘Don't cry，’he said quietly．
[04:56.690]Three or four prisoners came across the room．
[05:00.850]‘What's the matter？’they asked．
[05:07.680]‘Zadak is dead，’Kiah said．‘But Bel is dead，too．’
[05:12.350]‘What's going to happen next？’someone asked．But nobody answered．
[05:19.300]The next afternoon，Captain Seru's brother took Kiah and Rilla to a little room at the back of the prison．
[05:30.470]They sat down，and five minutes later Captain Seru arrived．Nobody smiled．
[05:40.500]‘You were right，Captain，’Kiah said．
[05:47.690]‘Gog sent us to prison because we told him about the holes in the AOL．’
[05:53.850]Seru smiled．‘You were right，Kiah，’she said．
[05:58.890]‘Those satellite numbers were very bad．
[06:02.460]I began to tell Gog，but he didn't listen to me．’
[06:06.980]‘Would you like some coffee？And some sandwiches？’seru's brother asked．
[06:13.680]‘Yes，please，’seru said．
[06:17.530]‘I'm hungry．’she looked at Kiah and Rilla．‘Things are very bad．’
[06:24.990]‘What's happening？’Rilla asked．
[06:29.170]‘You know about Zadak？And Bel？’
[06:33.870]‘Yes．Gog told Rilla yesterday，’Kiah said．
[06:38.700]Seru smiled，but her eyes were not happy．
[06:43.300]‘Gog talked to me this morning，'she said．
[06:48.980]Her brother came in with the coffee and sandwiches and Seru began to eat．
[06:55.630]‘Gog wants to know about Zadak，and about you，’she said．
[07:00.890]‘He's going to kill us all，I think，before he goes to Mars．’
[07:05.950]Suddenly，Rilla felt ill．‘I can't eat now！’she cried．
[07:14.710]But she took some coffee and began to drink．
[07:19.150]‘Let's get out of here，’she said．
[07:23.320]‘Perhaps we can get a plane to Brazil and go to my family．’
[07:28.420]‘Difficult，’seru said．
[07:30.880]‘Last night fires began in the new forest in Europe，and they're moving across Europe．
[07:40.270]The fires in Africa are burning fast．
[07:43.430]Gog began to destroy Zadak's forest in Australia yesterday．’
[07:50.210]‘Did you phone Adai？’Kiah asked．
[07:55.430]‘Adai！You never stop talking about Adai．
[07:57.320]What can he do？’Rilla said．She felt angry．
[08:01.900]Seru looked at Rilla for a minute．
[08:06.200]‘Yes，I phoned Adai be-fore I came here．
[08:10.610]I told him about Zadak and Bel，and about the fires．
[08:14.870]He asked about you，Kiah．
[08:18.990]He can't come down at Kisangani airport because Gog is there with a lot of his guards．
[08:25.100]Ship MARS 4 is nearly ready and Gog is watching it．
[08:30.680]He wants to leave Earth tomorrow．’
[08:35.810]‘How can Adai help us？’Rilla asked．‘He can't shoot all the guards here．’
[08:43.050]Captain Seru finished the last sandwich．‘
[08:47.240]Let's leave that to Adai，’she said．‘We can do nothing．’
[08:51.270]‘Are you going to stay here？’Kiah asked．
[08:57.650]‘Yes，'seru answered．‘Adai is coming to the prison after he arrives on Earth．’
[09:05.350]‘Oh yes？’Rilla said tiredly．‘But when？Gog can kill us before Adai comes．’
[09:17.040]‘No，he can't，’seru's brother said．
[09:21.050]‘You can stay here，in this room．
[09:25.400]Gog's guards are all afraid—afraid of the fires，afraid of the people．
[09:32.380]They aren't going to look for you here．’
