12 December 2025, 4:45 pm.
In the Pentagon, inside one of the massive offices, Agent Black observed the multiple computer screens showing the thermal and normal drone images and video around the Washington Monument.
"Zoom it. " He ordered.
Out of the multiple people working there anxiously, one of them zooms.
"Blindfold.. Interesting. " He murmured.
Suddenly, someone violently opens the door behind, making Agent Black startled.
"What the hell is going on!?"
One of the ministers came in, screaming scornfully. His head baldness became red in anger, some white hair on the edge of the head. Wearing a suit with circle frame glasses and a short moustache.
Everyone inside the office shifted their focus to the minister.
Behind the door, everyone was in panic, some running with important files to their respective offices, the ministers talking to the general about the attack and soldiers guarding the place.
"Sir, we are doing everything in our power." Agent Black tried to calm him.
"But they have captured the president and around half a thousand people. "
"Arnold. " The minister exhaled in frustration.
"We had been humiliated publicly. The president with one of the strongest protections in the whole world had been kidnapped. " The minister complain
"I know sir. " Agent Black apologised.
"We had done all the important protocol during the speech. We had been surveilling around that area before the speech was publicly announced."
"What about the snipers? "
"Well. " The Agent Black hid his glaze.
"What about the snipers! " The minister raised his voice.
"They couldn't attack during the president 's kidnapping because of the crowd and smoke and now the terrorist organization is threatened that if any of their members died the whole crowd will be dead. "
The minister put his head on the forehead in stress and disappointment.
Outside, a general with a green uniform,cap and a big moustache outside knocks the door.
"The ministers are calling you. "
The minister sighs and leaves the office.
"Where is your twin brother, Arnold? " The general asked.
"Our mother is sick so he is gone to take care of her. " Agent Black replied.
"You know he had to come back because of the emergency. " General said.
"I know. I just contacted him, he will be here soon." Agent Black shrugged.
By saying that the general also leaves.
The Agent Black sighs and leaves the room.
After some time, he gets to the washroom. The titles were pearly that it can reflect the face of a person. An uneasy silence devoured the room.
Agent Black washes his hands silently, looking at his face in the mirror in front. He looked at the washroom then took out his glasses revealing the bloody red iris.
"Good acting Arnold.. Good acting. "
Agent Black put on his glasses, fixed his hair, breathed and walked straight to the office.
While walking in the hallway he noticed the heavy protection of the armed military everywhere.
When he reached the office, someone was already waiting for him, the secretary of Defense. He had a sharp jawline, with smooth Black hair yet some white one slowly forming showing his experience. The suit added to his personality.
"Who are you lad? " Agent Black raises an eyebrow.
The man looked at him and chuckled.
"My name is Peter Hill ,secretary of defence. "
He offered a handshake and Agent Black accepted it.
"Arnold Eaton. Assistance of Chief Strategy Officer. My twin brother James Eaton is the Chief Strategy Officer, right now he is in Texas. Soon he will be here. "
"I was about to ask that. You are very clever. " Peter made a small laugh.
"So now. " Peter's tone became serious. "What information you gather till now. "
"Right now we could track the president's location. "
"How? " Peter questioned.
One of the men there working with the computer shows the drone video of the president kidnapping from the sky.
In front of the Lincoln Memorial, the smoke blocked the view, people running and the gunshot noise coming inside the smoke.
All of a sudden, multiple SUVs ripped the smoke, drove off at full speed.
"There were five SUVs in total. " Agent Black spoke. "Three of them leave the territory that the terrorist captured. When we caught them the driver had already fled.
The computer screen showed all the three empty cars being checked by the police. Another shows a CCTV camera, the driver of the car or masked figure running away from the SUVs.
"The remaining two are in the territory. First is park in the National Museum of African American History and Culture and the second one in the and the second one in the Herbert C. Hoover Federal Building. "
The computer screen shows the drone image of the remaining two cars near the building that Agent Black mentioned.
"What are the buildings that the terrorists captured? " Peter queries.
"The National Museum, Lincoln Memorial, Federal building and the Ellipse, the road in front of the Washington and by looking at their behavior they might be planning about the White House. "
"What else do we get? " Peter spoke.
"We know the person who attacked the president's bodyguard. " Agent Black confidently said.
The computer screen lights up, showing CCTV footage of the rabbit superior running outside the hotel, getting in her car and driving away.
"We don't know who he or she is, however we know that she is the one who was attacked because first her hotel reservation was online, she hid her face in a hoodie while going to her room and when she reached there she wore her cult-like costume which matched with the terrorised dress and… "
The computer screen in front shows a sniper.
"This is what we got after she ran away and right now her location is unknown. "
"What is the conclusion now? " Peter heard with curiosity.
"The conclusion is that the terrorists were outside the area of Washington or far away from the heavily protected zone of the speech. During the speech, he or she sniped the bodyguard and during that chaos they executed the plan. "
"You are really very smart, Arnold" Peter put the hand on one of the Agent Black shoulders.
"You will really help me to make a rescue plan. Congress is right now killing me for that. " Peter complained.
Agent Black just made a small bitter laugh and started to walk away.
"Looks like I have to use the bathroom again. "
Agent Black awkwardly walked off while Peter gave him a skeptical look.
"Sir, can I tell you something? "
One of the people working there asked Peter for permission.

Agent Black walked in the hallway, thinking about the talk with Lord Yin he had in the walkie talkie way before the invasion.
"Remember." Lord Yin spoke. "Texas to Washington is a long distance and the flight to Washington will all be cancelled after the president is kidnapped, so we would have enough time to finish our work with the wolf superior without anyone knowing but there is something I have to tell you. "
"What is it? " Agent Black.
"You can't contact me or anyone or the Pentagon will track you so during that time you have to we own your own. "
"Do you really think I could be myself!? " Agent Black questions himself with worry.
"Yes, I believe in you. " Lord Yin motivate Agent Black.
"But—"
Before Arnold can said any further, Lord Yin cuts the walkie talkie.
