Subway Station Downtown New York

Three Hours Earlier

The downtown subway station is full as usual with crowds dropping off and waiting to catch their rides to different destinations…

A man came down from a train that just made its stop at the station, he was clad in a black suit with dark brown hair and a chiselled face, he move out of the station and went to the restaurant across the street from the subway, he got into the restaurant and took a sit at the far corner of the restaurant, he took the food menu on the table and start looking at it, after some minutes of looking at the menu, he called at one of the waiter to make his order, he quickly make a brief conversation with the waiter and the waiter left, minutes later he came back with the wine that he ordered. The man opened the wine bottle and pour a bit into the wine flute, he took a sip and savoured the taste with his tongue letting the aroma sink in to his brain…

Another man came into the restaurant, he look briefly through the restaurant before going strait to the corner the brown haired man was sitting, he was also wearing a black suit with a blond hair, he took a sit opposite him, he took out a stick of cuban cigar and lights it he took a drag and release the smoke into the air…

“Hmm, Vega sicilia unico, I see you’ve got an amazing taste for wine” the blonde man said glancing at the bottle of wine on the table, he took another drag of his cuban cigar and starts flipping the gold lighter in his hand

“You sure bet I do, let go straight to the business that brought us here, I know you are well aware that the security of the country will be tighten up immediately that money is paid, I have arranged a means of transportation for you and your boys once this deal is over, do not touch a hair on the congressman, in no situation should he be harmed, and one more thing make sure the division are able to track the transmission to the warehouse, I’ve got some Surprise waiting for them” he finished speaking and made to stand, the other man grabbed his hand and look at him with a smirk on his face..

“As long as your people cooperate with me, no harm is going to come the congressman’s way” he released his hand and walks out of the restaurant…

Presently…

Division 3 Situation room.

The situation room is buzzing with activities, men moving around in haste with stress and frustration written on their faces, the situation of the kidnapping and bombing are all taking its toll on them, the white house has been on their neck all day coupled with the order from the pentangon to take care of the situations and rescue the congressman as soon as possible…

The director was making a call in a corner of the room, with the way he was talking on the phone, things were not happening in his favours, all their efforts to get a lead or a breakthrough to identifying the location of where the drug cartel are making their transmission from have been negative, he dropped the call and wave his hand in the hair in frustration, he brusquely walks back into the center of the room and makes an announcement. “Listen everyone, I just got through a call from the whitehouse, if we failed to get a lead within another 10 hours, they are taking us off of this case, so we gotta do everything in our power and get their location during this second transmission”

“Get the trace ready they are going to be making another transmission in five minutes from now”

Five Minutes Later

The military martial song hits the room again, and seconds later all the tv screen in the room changes to that of a man sitting on a chair with his face covered with black mask… “The money should dropped in Ten places in $100 bill, $50m dollar in each places, all border should be opened for 24 hours, in your effort not to comply with the order, there will be a bomb blast in different locations in every one hours” he finished the transmission and every screen went blank…

“We finally got a lock on the location, he is transmitting from a warehouse in Bronx”

“Get a Chopper in the air, I need three Humvy trucks on the ground, we are moving out right now, this is it, we have to move in on them with surprise, the tactical team will move in first, we got the support from air, get everyone ready, get me on with the pentagon and the white house”

Bronx New York.

25 Minutes later…

The trucks move in with speed spraying the dust from the sand in the air, an ant eating on the road heard the sound of the trucks coming and runs into its hole, the three trucks drives into the compound of the warehouse with the chopper hovering around in the air, filming the live feeds to the, The division headquarters and the Pentagon, the troops got down from the trucks and group themselves into formation, each with his rifle on high alert… The warehouse was exceptionally silent, there seems to be no sign of human activities in or areas around the compound, the men walks in and spread into groups. The rooms of the warehouse were dark making it harder for the troops to see anything until they all activated their infrared goggles, the men walks in slowly stealthily moving in formation, the commanding captain makes a halt signal to the men and they all stop, something is not right, he though to himself, he lifts up his leg to make another move, that was when he heard it, a clinging sound followed by a massive explosion and then sound of gun shots ringing from all angles of the charred building with no visible shooter, the shooting caught the men unaware, before any could register what was happening and take cover, each of the men are either dead or severely injured, the bullets rained around for 25 minutes piercing all the troops untill they all lost their lives… All the events of the ware house were recorded in a live feed from the chopper and from camera attached to the infrared goggles of the troops…

6 Hours Later

Pentangon Virginia Washington DC…

The Director walks in to the situation room of the pentagon with a sad and frustrating expression written all over his face, he walks in and stood in the middle of the men sitting round the table, the presidents was among them…

“Mr President I know I have failed this nation and I’m sad over all the lives lost so far, my decision to move into the warehouse was hostile, I’ll take responsibility of the actions” the director finished speaking

“We are breaking and disavowing this organisation because they have failed to protect the Nation it was Created to protect, the decision has already been made, all files and database should be transfer to the CIA, the CIA will also be taking over all the covert operations of the decision, The Director has been relieved of his duty and clearance as from one minutes ago” the minister of defence announced…

“I’m Eric Mason, the newly appointed director from the CIA” a man with a brown hair and chiselled face announced with an evil smirk on his face…
