Emma sat in an unknown room, she doesn't know where she is, the only thing she knows is that the government brought her here, in a grimy looking place covered in gray walls.
The room had a short table, and at the end of it rested two chairs in opposite directions. One of them sat Emma.
She anxiously waits for someone, she continues to tap her right foot, she continues to rub her hand in distress.
CREEEEEEK.
Emma looked forward from the door opening sound, she saw the general and the vice president accompanied by three Secret Service agents.
"So. " The Vice president spoke from his small face. "You are Emma Watson. The general has told me everything about you, I just wanna ask you something in person. "
"Yes.. Sir. " An awkward, uneasy smile forms on her face.
"If Ron is the reason Noah joined that terrorist organization then tell me about Ron. " Vice president clasped his hand, resting his brown beard chin.
"Well. " Emma slowly started to talk. "Ron was the manager of the Manhattan branch of Samsan, I work with them as their data entry clerk. "
"Samsan, that electronic company? "
"Yes. " Emma clarified.
"You also told us you were with Noah when Ron got kidnapped, why don't you tell the police? " Vice president suspiciously asked.
"During that the freedom tower terrorist attacks occurred, because of this,the first two days we didn't have a chance of contacting police and on the third one Noah got sent to the Asylum, now then the police started their investigation however Noah escaped. "
"Do Ron's parents know about it? " The vice president calmly asked.
"Yes, after Noah got into the Asylum, the police informed Ron's parents. "
The vice president didn't say anything for a few seconds, thinking about something. Then he stood up.
"Thanks for your information, we will try to let you go as soon as possible. " He calmly informed Emma.
The vice president leaves the room with the general and his Secret Service agents.
Outside, lies a big hallway guarded by the Secret Service.
"So what are we gonna do now? " The general asked in curiosity.
"The Washington borders are tight to let those escape, a secret operation has also launched inside Washington to find them. I still can't understand how they destroyed the White House and did a blast in the Pentagon. "
"Yeah. " General paused. "I still can't understand how one of the exits of the Pentagon had been left unguarded during such an intense situation. "
The vice president stops. Around his blue eyes, his iris started to become red from the irritated.
"I don't know, it's your job to find how it happened, so get lost!! I already have responsibility for tomorrow's presidential funeral and answer the media! "
The vice president walked away angrily, leaving the general alone with the Secret Service agents guarding the hallway.
"I thought of telling him that we caught those terrorists, four from Washington, two from the Pentagon. " The general thought.
"Whatever, I have to do my job. "

12 December, 11:45.
"This is disgusting. " Noah complained.
"Just walk. " Alice ordered.
They both slowly walked in a sidewalk of sewage, the waste, dark green water running through the middle. A nauseating smell started to burn Noah's nose hairs, mould forming in the footpath, Noah had to walk from it, making him vomit.
He, Alice and six masked men were escorting outside of Washington, all of them wearing waterproof coveralls with a mask to cover their mouth and body from the sewage bacteria.
Under it they wore normal clothes.
"I found it. " One of the masked figures pointed his fingers towards a pipe ending.
Alice leisurely walked towards the direction, her coveralls making the sound of someone jumping in the water puddle.
She got outside the tunnel, stepping on the contaminated river, people had even thrown trash on it. In front many trees tightly packed together.
On her left a road rest, a metal thick fence blocks the car from the road in crashing into the sewage.
Alice waves her hand, signaling them to come out.
"So what now? " Noah steps out of the sewage tunnel. "Please don't tell me we have to cross this river. "
Other masked figures also step out.
"Just wait. " Alice informed the masked figures. "Someone must—"
BEEEEP
Alice turns around towards the road to see the source of the sound. She saw a truck waiting for them.
"Alright. " Alice spoke. "Take off your waterproof coveralls, we are now going to Mexico. That truck will help us to cross the border."
"Can I ask you something? " Noah quuer. "Where are we right now? "
"Right now we are inside Virginia although near the Virginia border so we have to escape, there's still a chance the military might come here. " Alice apprised.
"Man, I just wanna meet Ron then I will leave this organization for good. " Noah sighs.

Earlier on 12 December 2025.
Time- 9:00 pm.
"Where am I? "
Vyuk opens his eyes, still blurry from the vision his head brutally hurts from the previous injury.
When he finally opened his eyes, he found himself lying in a car's backseat, in front of someone driving the car.
Vyuk instantly recognized the driver from a design on the edge of his hair.
"Aston! What the hell are you doing? " Vyuk yells.
"When I got outside of the Pentagon. " Aston ignores Vyuk, recalling his memory. "I found two Secret Service agents getting out of the car, when I looked inside their car luggage, I found those similar costumes, those red cloaks, those masks. "
Aston continued.
" I hid behind a car so those people didn't see me, when they got inside, I got near their car, I opened it and when I looked around I saw an unusual walkie talkie. " Aston showed him the walkie talkie.
"I thought what to do but suddenly the blast happened, I panicked then the walkie talkie started to talk, I impersonated my voice and successfully got on their plane and now I will secretly go there for my revenge."
"I know but what the fuck am I doing here!!" Vyuk screams.
"I accidentally struck you from the wood piece I found in the car luggage. Now you are part of my vengeance. " Aston explained.
"I don't want to be part of it! " Vyuk started to rage at Aston. "Let me get out of here! "
"Stop me if you can, Vyuk—"
Vyuk tightly grabs Aston necks by his elbow making him suffocate.
"I said not. " Vyuk violently said.
Suffocating, Aston tried to free himself from his hand, leaving the car steering wheel all alone.
"Please.. Vyuk. "
