abuseThat's a shame Ajedrez and sands was never ment to be seen with each other and another thing they don't need to be together, and they most definitly don't make a good alinance.

abuseIt's amazing and overwhelming how a chance meeting can change one's life. Sands is so... Sands: arrogant, manipulative, thinking he throws all shapes and that phrase at the end -
"She would never have seen him coming."
So evilly, bitterly ironic.
Are you going to continue this? I hope so.

abuseGod, that was ironic.
Bitterly ironic - how a man can plan everything so carefully and be so sure of the result - and look what happens.
Ironic in a different way - if this is your trilogy-verse. "Dumb and good-looking". :)

abuse"Screaming would be preferable, but he couldn't see - oh god couldn't see - how he could accomplish that, so there was only one other choice." - this little insert is like a stab of genuine paim through all the bravado.
The way Sands tells the kid to run - for purely selfish reasons, not out of any kindness - is so Sands, a manipulator to the end.

abuseOh, I remember that moment. I never saw it coming. This is the moment where Sands is at his best/worst. This is when you start to beleive that he is so brilliant that he can pull anything off through sheer insolence. You've captured it so well.

abuseA brilliant look inside Sands' head - a manipulative bastard to the end, but so very, very brave and strong-willed.

abuse/Only an amateur went to all the trouble of coming up with fake identities./
Love this, the layered game-playing, Sands falling for the more transparent deception and never seeing the bigger one.
/She would never have seen him coming./
Irony is always delicious.
(Oh, and I finally got my DVD after all. Got tired of waiting for delivery--got doubly tired of squinting at my coughdownloadedcough copy to make sure I was interpreting the imagery correctly--and just went out and bought the darn thing.)

abuseLove this chapter--the boy remains one of my favorite characters. He was obviously headed /somewhere/ before Sands came along, and I really like your interpretation and the way you paint his innocence.
/Suddenly going home sounded like a very good thing to do./
I felt my stomach drop a little at this line, knowing that within an hour the boy's going to have a gun pressed to his head and witness a number of bloody shootings. Poor kid.

abuseI don't know which part of this vignette I like more: The bit where Sands decides El isn't much to look at on first glance made me laugh, because during my first two viewings of OUATIM I didn't think El was all that (I've since learned better).
Or the bit where Sands works through his idea of achieving balance...frightening, and frighteningly logical.

abuse/Dying by inches, on the other hand, was hard work./
Yay. More fic from you makes me happy, even if I'm terribly slow in reading it.
/A country to ** over in return for what's been done to me. Balance to restore./
I like this: a new kind of balance, this one centered on himself. Nice.
