PART 5 - Who called the Spanish Army?
The day after, El Rif was completely surrounded by the Guardia Civil and the Spanish Army, the people that signed up to the terrorist group didn't know how to use a gun and meanwhile, both Mustafa Begum and Abdul Al-Rasheed's servants were packaging everything. Mustafa called his friend Abdul that morning to express his concern about the huge mistake he might have done. When the President, Jesús Aguilar, announced on the morning that El Rif would see its autonomy suspended and that the army was going to be deployed to take back the control of the ongoing events over there, both took a decision: they had to leave Spain, they had to leave El Rif. Staying there was risking their lifes, their families and their freedom until they both died.
Al-Rasheed started to destroy all the proofs, without even knowing that the Spanish Centro Nacional de Inteligencia had already hacked his computer, tracked his phone and downloaded every single proof against Abdul. Shotguns started to be heard near the palace, and a Guard entered Abdul's private room in the wrong moment, just when his boss and his boss' wife were having fun. "GET OUT OF HERE, KILL ANY SPANIARD BUT DON'T KILL MY FUN!" Shouted Abdul. When they were finished, he exited his room and headed to the guard with a gun, shooting him to death. Another innocent person that died because of the collective hysteria. Mustafa called Abdul once again, to advise him to depart as soon as possible, they were coming for both of them and the Guards weren't strong enough.
Abdul was nervous, even though Mustafa seemed relaxed: Why is Mustafa so relaxed while I'm close to a heart attack? How can he be so ignorant? Why did I listen to him Allah, why did you betray me? thought Abdul while running from a place of his palace to another, doing nothing, not helping anyone, just searching a way to scape from his own hell. But his wife and his children had different plans for him. While Abdul was running nervously, they decided to run away with their personal objects, trying to reach the nearest Guardia Civil or Spanish Army control and being safe from her crazy husband. She ran and ran, the kids did the same too, it was like they had trained for that day. And she knew time went by against her and her children, because it wouldn't take long for Abdul to find out what really happened.

Haya, Abdul's wife, running away from El Rif to live her life safer
And she was right; as soon as they had were halfway between the Palace and the closest border, Abdul realised about the absence of his wife. The guards were sent to search them, and kill them if it was needed. He knew that killing his own children would be enough to make Haya suffer and take her back without any resistance, if she didn't want the same destiny than her children. Meanwhile, Haya kept running and running through the desert, alone, hearing shotguns in the distance and seeing how dust risen to the sky as the Spanish Army went through the Riftian roads. That meant they were close, but suddenly, Abdul guards appeared and shot to death to Haya's children. She closed her eyes and kept running, she could hear her children screaming, he didn't know if it was pain or fear, she just kept running. In that moment, shotguns were heard in front of them. She dropped herself to the ground, to avoid being shot by the guards. Screamins again and then, silence. Was she dead or alive? Was she dreaming or was it all the real life?
Haya opened her eyes, and she could see 4 Spanish soldiers helping the kids and carrying her backpacks. She was aided by 2 to stand up and taken into a car to evacuate her. Abdul's soldiers were dead, and Haya and her family were alive thank to the Spanish Army. "Who called you?" Haya asked, crying. A soldier answered: "Madam, it's our duty to protect every single Spanish citizen, even if that involves risking our lives." Haya cried even more, her kids did too. They were all safe, and the Spanish Government was on her side: A soldier told her she was going to be protected and taken to another place, far away from El Rif, to start a new life with her children. Meanwhile, the Inimicans soldiers from the Imperial Guard 23rd Mechanized, along with the Spanish soldiers, started to advance towards the capital of El Rif, to stop the conflict.

Mustafa's helicopter crossing the sea towards the South of Europe
Mustafa and Abdul managed to scape, safely, to the South of Europe. Their destination was unclear, but one thing was sure. Problems would continue if they did hide, so they would need to get Aguilar's signature into a Treaty to cease any hostility. Huriyah was still alive, and it would soon become real. The end, at least by now...
